The Book of 1st Samuel 16:1-13 tells that GOD sent Samuel the prophet to the house of Jesse, David’s father, for him to be anointed as the future king of Israel, then Jesse made seven of his sons pass before Samuel, and Samuel said to Jesse, The LORD has not chosen these, then Samuel said, are all the young men here? Then he said, there remains the youngest, and there he is keeping the sheep. Samuel said, send and bring him, for we will not sit down till he comes here. The LORD said, “Arise and anoint him”.
Although David was not in the house at the time of Samuel’s arrival, because the Bible says he was keeping the sheep and Jesse his father failed to send for him, because he lined up the rest of his sons for Samuel the prophet, but did not care to wait or send for David, but GOD rejected all of them.
You will not be forgotten in The Mighty name of Jesus Christ. GOD knows where and who you are. As human beings we look at the outward appearance of mankind, education, good speech, but GOD looks at the heart of man.
Jesse prepared food, his other sons got dressed, ready for the feast, but they could not start without David. They waited for David, who would become the future King. Your miracle is waiting for you. The feast will not start without you. Please wait on The LORD and keep doing good.
I am a living witness of what GOD can do, He took a woman who is poor in speech, indeed one who stammers and do something wonderful with her life for His Glory (a servant of GOD).
Please, brothers and sisters, there is a waiting period for GOD’s promises.
Stories on waiting:
Samuel anointed David when he was a youth, but became king of Israel when he was 30 years old.
The book of Genesis 12:1-4 says, Abraham was 75 years old when GOD promised him a child, but the book of Genesis 21:5 tells us that Abraham was 100 years old when his son Isaac was born, he waited 25 years.
The Book of Genesis 37:2 also tells us that Joseph was 17 years old when his brothers sold him. Chapter 37:28 tells us that the Ishmaelites bought him for 20 shekels of silver, and took Joseph to Egypt. Verse 36 says Joseph was sold again to Potiphar an officer of Pharaoh and captain of guard.
(But The LORD was with Joseph chapter 39:2).
The Lord will never leave you nor forsake you. The LORD will always be with us whatever we are going through. Listen to the next Chapter, 41:46 Joseph was 30 years old when he stood in front of Pharaoh to be the Governor of Egypt. He waited 13 years.
How long have you waited for your miracle? Do not give up please. Do not give up. GOD who promised will never fail because He is a promise keeper.
For so many years I waited for The LORD, but GOD has steps for us.
In the waiting period, GOD will deliver, train, and strengthen you for the calling on your life.
The Book of Psalms 40:1-3 says, I waited patiently for the LORD.
He inclined to me, and heard my cry.
He also brought me up, out of a horrible pit,
Out of the miry clay,
And set my feet upon a rock, and established my steps.
He has put a new song in my mouth—Praise Our GOD:
Many will see it and fear, and will trust in the LORD.
The Obadiah verse 17 says, But on Mount Zion there shall be deliverance.
And there shall be holiness.
The house of Jacob shall possess their possessions.
Please do not give up, His promises will come to pass, He will come through for you. He is a covenant keeping GOD. He is Our Father-Loving Father. True and Faithful.
Please remember that you are a prized possession for Jesus, we are no longer in Satan’s territory, we belong to Jesus Christ who bought us back with His shed blood on the Cross, a very high prize.
Praise The LORD. Hallelujah!!!!
