SCRIPTURE: And 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…. – 1 Samuel 16:13

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Great destinies are often raised out of obscurity; out of the background.

David is a character in the Bible who is worthy of emulation. The story of his life is filled with many lessons that we need to learn in order to successfully maximize our lives. God lifted him from the low level of life to the pedestal of generational authority.

Now, what lessons can we learn from the life of David?
1. Rejection is often the birthplace of distinction.
2. Victims of rejection become candidates for the Unction; the life of Joseph is also a case study of this.
3. Great destinies are often raised out of obscurity; out of the background.
4. The least wanted among men most times becomes the most needed by God.
5. Do not let rejection push you into desperation.
6. People tolerated by men are often celebrated by God.
7. People forgotten by men are remembered by God as long as they press into God
8. The world must stand on their feet for the man who has a stand with God.
As you meditate on these lessons today, I pray that God will lift you far above your contemporaries, in Jesus’ Name.

Remember this: Great destinies are often raised out of obscurity; out of the background.

ASSIGNMENTS:
1. Ensure that your life is freshly anointed always.
2. Always be on God’s assignment.

PRAYER:
LORD, I surrender my life to You totally. Use me for Your glory, LORD, in Jesus’ Name.
