Father, we have come with expectation and anticipation and we wont let go until you bless us.
Father, move me out of the way so that you can have full control.
So the word that you have given me can and will be delivered as you desire.
Have you ever felt like you didn’t matter?
Did you ever feel like you were like the gum on the bottom of somebodies shoe.
Well let me reassure you that you are not alone.
Let me be transparent for a minute,
i’ve discussed this before in another of my sermons, but my biological father did not stay around.
He left before i was born, and so you can just imagine the stigma that this left over me.
Years of trying to find myself and my identity as i spent years trying to figure out if i was good enough
and let me tell you, it took years upon years for me to find myself i guess you could say
So the basis of my message today is that I wanted to talk to those that felt marginal in life
I want to talk to those that felt as if they would never amount to anything
I want to talk to those who felt as if God had forgot about them.
And i found the story of david to fit that mold
a young man that God anointed, but by choice his father left him out of the party.
We start out with the Lord confronting Samuel.
Saying, YO, how long are you going to cry over Saul not being king.
I rejected him and now it is time to srop crying.
So this is where the Lord sends Samuel to Jesse to find the next king of Israel
But this is where the story starts getting good and the climax starts to build
See Samuel the prophet is sent to Jesse who actually has 8 kids but he only invites 7 that he thinks is king material
And in 1 sam 16 Samuel arrives and Jesse is sitting in his living room lounging.
He has chosen 7 of his kids that he thinks is king material
So here we have Eliab, the oldest
hes tall and strong
Samuel looks at him and says, he looks good, definitely has God chosen him to be king
But to his surprise God speaks and says nope, niet, nada, he is not the one that I have anointed to be king.
See this is the first lesson and it is very important
see here the prophet is fooled by the external
See God looks at the heart while man looks at the outside, the external of things.
see thats important because many of us have been hurt by leaders and people of position who didn’t see you
I’ve been there.
See these people, these leaders didnt see you because they couldn’t see you
haha, you see what i did there?
See there oversight wasn’t intentional,
But God hid you from them
he doesn't want you needing validation from any outside sources
he needs you to be secure in who he created you to be
The key being that if no one ever tells you that you have a calling, that you know it the more because God has set it deep in your spirit
Let me explain that a lil
IE: My calling
The thing is that you know that you know.
You don’t need any outside validation
For it is God who confirms, and it is true that he sends 2 or 3 of his kings and queens to affirm what he has spoken
And like i said, you know that you know
So I will say it again
be secure in who God created you to be
God is looking for those that will serve when no one is looking
Because it is when you will serve when no one else is looking that he will give you favor when everyone is looking
I should say that again
i think that just went over someones head
See the prophet thought that Eliab was the one
but God said no
And then Jesse called his other son Abinidab
he had all the ladys drunk with his stature
he walked in front of Samuel strutting his stuff
And again God said, nope
Then there was son number 3, Shammah, he definitely had to be the one that God had called.
but to no surprise, God said nope, not this one either
Son 4, 5, 6 and then 7 passed in front of Samuel and God was like NOPE
Samuel said, God has not chosen any of these
Now If it were me id be like whats up?
I can’t be to anointed
I must have missed it somewhere
I mean, I am sure that God told me to come here.
But Im 7 for 7
Samuel had to feel like he had failed somewhere
So Samuel looked at Jesse and said, Hey are these all of your sons?
See Jesse had made the decision of who he thought was a good fit for king.
But when Samuel asked he had to be honest and he was like, yea, i have one more
however he is the youngest and out in the field.
He is watching the sheep.
And immediately Samuel said to Jesse, well we will not sit to eat until you send for him.
See just like many of the leaders and the people in our lives
he saw the outside and assumed the outside stature of what a king should be
See here Jesse didnt just ignore the exsistance of his youngest son,
but David wasn’t even invited to the party
Do you ever feel like that
Do you feel like you haven’t been invited to the party
Do you feel like everyone has forgotten about you
some of you feel like that now
Well here we have david, just hanging out in the field
he was hanging with the sheep
He was singing to the sheep
just out there chillin by himself
But see it was in that solitary time in which God was preparing him
And that solitary time created a sound
a sound that had a theme of brokenness and passing and humility and hunger
That sound says,
God if you dont show up,
God if you dont make a way im gonna be lost
But it was in that solitary time that David found his strength
It was in that solitary time that God groomed him for the throne
See David was out in the field when he was all of a sudden called by Jesse, his father
And suddenly,
did you catch that
Another suddenly,
sound familar
So that is my title for today
