Intro
Text - 1 Samuel 16.13
Title - The Lord’s Anointed
Main Point
Anointing is God’s way of making His work known to men.
It declares His purpose and His work.
If God is at work today, then He must have anointed men and women with whom He is bringing to pass His purpose for His glory.
Key Questions
what is anointing?
what is the purpose of anointing
who are God’s anointed today
Background
Definition
Anoint means to smear, to rub with oil (although more often ‘poured’ on the head)
pahid (because of the act of applying the oil)
anointing, means -
the act of applying or pouring the anointing oil
the anointing oil that is poured on the person
anointing oil signifies the Holy Spirit
How David became God’s anointed one
God has provided for Himself a king among Jesse’s sons
God looks at the heart
the Spirit of the LORD came upon Him from that day
The Purpose of the anointing
The anointing IDENTIFIES the person chosen by God
young David was identified by the LORD
to be identified means to be chosen
The anointing APPOINTS/ORDAINS the person to the work
priests were anointed
kings and prophets were anointed
note - actual anointing did not always take place, but the appointment stands
The anointing PREPARES the person for the work ahead
the Spirit of God began to move and direct David’s life towards becoming God’s chosen king
young David’s preparation were the battles against the Philistines, and his conflict with king Saul
he killed Goliath
he respected Saul as God’s anointed
Jesus Christ’s preparation was the wilderness temptation
The privileges that come with the anointing
Anointed ones are “highly favored”
Anointed ones are secured and protected
God’s protection extends to his family and possessions
to touch Abraham’s family is to touch the prophet of God
they are highly favored and protected because of the great work that is laid upon their lives
Who are God’s anointed ones today
The Spirit baptized people
the abiding Holy Spirit is your anointing
You are personally CHOSEN by God - hand-picked!
Chosen before the foundation of the world
Identified by the Holy Spirit today
You are APPOINTED to a specific work
the good works that were prepared beforehand
your life, your existence, is directly connected to a specific work that you will give account to God on judgment day
You are BEING PREPARED TODAY for your future work
“all things work together” because God has a purpose in your life
“all things work together” because God is preparing your life for that purpose
BECAUSE OF THIS -
you are highly favored
you are secured and protected from harm
Conclusion
Don’t waste your life looking for purpose and meaning in this world -
IN CHRIST YOU ALREADY HAVE A PURPOSE FOR LIVING!
Don’t envy the success of those who are outside of God’s will -
YOU ARE MORE HIGHLY FAVORED THAT THEM ALL
ILLUSTRATION - the inauguration of BBM
he was the people’s chosen leader -
as president,
he will receive the highest respect in the land
he will be immune from all suits for the next 6 years
