Walking in the Anointing TGIF Today God Is First Volume 1, by Os Hillman 07-10-2014 So Samuel took the horn of oil and anointed him in the presence of his brothers, and from that day on the Spirit of the Lord came upon David in power.... 1 Samuel 16:13 Has the Spirit of the Lord rested on your life? Can you cite the time when Gods Spirit began demonstrating His power through you? David knew the day the Spirit of the Lord began a special work in him. That Spirit was different from most leaders. Instead of seeking power and control, he led in response to a need. Instead of being a perfect person, he learned from mistakes and acknowledged them among those he led. Instead of placing confidence in his own abilities, he sought wisdom from the only real Commander in charge. David never lost a battle through his many years of leading Israel. He failed God by sinning with Bathsheba and by numbering the troops, but he learned from those failures, and he had to pay a price for them. However, Gods Spirit never left David. He never left because of Davids willingness to keep a soft heart toward God, even when he failed. God wants to do the same in you and me, but He will not allow that Spirit to rest on us if we seek to control outcomes and manipulate out of our need for power. Servant leaders know that they are only a tool in the Masters hand. They do not value themselves more than they ought. Davids heart was fully the Lords. Is your heart fully the Lords to do with what He wills? Today God Is First (TGIF) devotional message, Copyright by Os Hillman, Marketplace Leaders.
