THE ANOINTING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT

I READ: 1 Samuel 16:1-13

It is written in the Bible that when Samuel anointed David with the anointing oil, the Holy Spirit came upon David from that day forward. The Holy Spirit enabled him to do great things that he had never done before.  An example was the time when David had to face Goliath, a giant whose height was six cubits and a span.  While most seasoned, tough and brave Israeli soldiers were dismayed and greatly afraid; the Holy Spirit gave David the courage to confront Goliath.  David defeated Goliath without any great effort; he confronted Goliath with the Lord on his side.  The Holy Spirit will enable us to do great and miraculous things.  We will witness things that we have never seen in our lives and we will emerge victorious.

I DECLARE: Luke 4:18-19 – The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, Because He has anointed Me To preach the gospel to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, To proclaim liberty to the captives And recovery of sight to the blind, To set at liberty those who are oppressed; To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord.

I DO: What actions am I going to take after meditating on the Word of God?

I PRAY: Pray as guided by the Holy Spirit
