”And he sent, and brought him in. Now he was ruddy, and withal of a beautiful countenance, and goodly to look to. And the LORD said, Arise, anoint him: for this is he. Then Samuel took the horn of oil, and anointed him in the midst of his brethren: and the Spirit of the LORD came upon David from that day forward. So Samuel rose up, and went to Ramah.“
1 Samuel 16:12-13 KJV
Jesse sent for him. He was brought in, the very picture of health—bright-eyed, good-looking. God said, “Up on your feet! Anoint him! This is the one.” Samuel took his flask of oil and anointed him, with his brothers standing around watching. The Spirit of God entered David like a rush of wind, God vitally empowering him for the rest of his life. Samuel left and went home to Ramah. The insignificant, unrecognized David, the youngest son of Jesse, was changed and chosen after he was anointed. In the new covenant, God transforms insignificant people with the anointing by the Holy Spirit with the anointing of the Anointed One - Christ Jesus! Now we have an anointing from the Holy One, and we know all things. The wonderful anointing we have received from God is so much greater than deception, and now lives in us. There’s no need for anyone to keep teaching us. His anointing teaches us all that we need to know, for it leads us into truth, not a counterfeit. So just as the anointing has taught us, let’s remain in Him. Amen!
