1 Samuel 16-14
King Saul was chosen, selected, and anointed through the acknowledgement of the God of Israel.
The essence of the aforementioned statement is of such that Saul was chosen, selected and anointed by prophet Samuel to be the king of God on behalf of Israel.
Essentially, before anything else Saul was supposed to be the God-chosen king before the nation of Israel.
This is fundamentally and analytically important because it means that Saul was not going to make any choice inclined upon his desires let alone the desire of the people of Israel but every choice he was to execute was going to be entirely inclined upon the desires of the God who chose, selected and anointed him.
Hence when God tells prophet Samuel in 1 Samuel 16-1, that he has rejected Saul, the rejection is seemingly as a result of the fact that Saul had fundamentally failed to execute his kingly duties after the will, desire and instruction of God.
The moment Saul failed to execute his kingly duties according to the will of the God who made him king then the favor of God upon his life was replaced by rejection.
Once a man who has been favored by God loses the favor of God upon his life, his actions thereof shall be worse than the one who has never known no favor of God at all.
Had Saul walked as a king after the will and desires of God then God would not have rejected him.
Favor is much akin to a protective gear to the one who has been chosen , selected and anointed of God.
Before Israel was given a king there was being governed by God's chosen, selected, and anointed judges if not prophets.
Other nations in the universe were governed by enslaving kings hence the people of God were being governed by an element of uniqueness because God loves uniqueness, difference, and extra-ordinarity.
The thing that made the nation of Israel so unique was the manner in which they where being governed in reference to how other nations of the world were being governed.
God as king over his very people (Israel) was governing with mercy, love, patience, kindness, charity and self control.
However when the people of Israel demanded for a king as other nations what they were ignorantly doing was to defy and defile God's principle of uniqueness.
God 's principle of uniqueness argues that his people whom he has chosen, selected, and anointed for himself must always bear a striking character of difference, oddness and variation compared to the rest of the people with whom they endure with in the universe.
As a people chosen, selected, and anointed of God the character that you bear should be supernaturally foreign , and spiritually unique.
The character that you bear should be excellently far more a class in its own right because it follows after the desires and liking of God in a specific time frame.
To maintain the sacred nature of his chosen, selected, and anointed people after they demanded to have a human king over them to resemble other nations, God made sure that the duty of who ought to be king over his people was his own not the duty of the people.
The choosing, selecting , and anointing of Israel's king was not going to be the duty of the people but the duty of God because the king of Israel was going to be not only the people's king but he was firstly going to be God's king because his power and mandate over God's people was going to be given unto him by God.
The uniqueness of God's people is based on the fact that every thing they do is for God's glory and hence forth the people of God are chosen, selected, and anointed to be effective at nothing but to execute God's will with high level excellence and effectiveness.
To be unique is the desire of God for the life of you to the degree that even when you open your mouth to speak whatever flows out of your mouth thereof should be the desires of God.
And if you find yourself with nothing to utter in line with the desires of God then keeping your mouth shut is nothing but the best option in order to be in a position which fulfills the mandate of God for life of you.
In other wards, keeping your mouth shut when you have nothing to say in line with Godly desires makes you fundamentally unique in a world where people speak and open their mouth only when they are ready to express their personal desires if not their sensual perceptions.
In 1 Samuel 16:13, David stood there among his brothers, Samuel took the flask of olive oil he had brought and anointed David with oil.
And the spirit of the Lord God came powerfully upon David from that day.
In other wards once God chooses, selects and anoints you, the spirit of the Lord God comes powerfully upon you and every now and then the spirit of God comes powerfully upon you then the uniqueness of your life will fundamentally come to bear.
Without the spirit of God upon your life then its utterly impossible to maximize your uniqueness as per the will and desire of God.
The greatest asset for the life of you is the uniqueness of God for the life of you.
Each human existence is designed to reflect the uniqueness of God Almighty.
Once the uniqueness of God walks out of the doors of your life, the aforementioned experience is indicative of losing the power of the spirit of God upon your life.
The moment the uniqueness of God is lost in your life, other elements such as:mediocrity, normalcy, and uniformity of mind and disposition begin to take root.
And before you know it, they wont be a difference between you and the rest of the world.
Uniformity in character and behavior has never been the will and desire of God.
Uniformity in the manner of one's operation has never been the order of God Almighty.
God spoke to Prophet Isiah and decreed,"Behold i do a new thing........"
Hence God is more interested in doing a new thing in the life of the man that he has cultivated intimacy with, and everything that God does carries with itself a degree of divine uniqueness that has got the propensity to advance the world.
Every man of God has got the moral duty to do some thing incredible in order to advance the entire world.
And the substance that is going to change and advance the world is embedded in the uniqueness of God upon your life.
A uniqueness that came to bear after the spirit of God came upon your life.
The spirit that came upon you after being chosen, selected, and anointed of the lord your God.
The world was set back almost 100 years after the event of the holocaust because all the men of God(the Jews) that perished in the holocaust possessed a degree of divine uniqueness whose mandate was to advance the world.
In spending time in the divine presence of God Almighty, we set ourselves to engage in a process of divine interaction, a process which gives birth a product of divine uniqueness
in our lives.
In other wards talking to God is a process that plays out on the field called patience .
The more you endure this process, the more degree of divine uniqueness shall you posses in order to be in a position to carry out duties that will change the entire world for better.
Finally, its interesting to note that before the nation of Israel demanded to have a king like other nations have, their uniqueness in God was far from being defiled.
And because their uniqueness was far from being defiled, the nation of Israel 's level of intimacy with God was ever intensely high.
However the moment the nation of Israel defiled its uniqueness in God, their level of intimacy with God become intensely very low.
In other wards, the intensity of your intimacy with God is maintained by your uniqueness in God.
The moment you lose your unique nature in God so will you lose your intimacy with God.
The uniqueness of one's existence is what changes the world.
When God was looking for a king from among the sons of Jesse, he chose David because David possessed specimens of unique capacity and possibility.
God did not chose, select and anoint none of David's brothers because they were so uniform in their nature.
They all possessed elements and specimens that were identical and uniform to one another.
And with that understanding allow me to boldly state that God does not chose, select and anoint from uniformity but from uniqueness.
Its utterly impossible to go away without saying that the headquarters of God in an individual's life are based on the premises of that particular individual's uniqueness.
Once you discover your uniqueness then you have discovered the gift of God in your life.
The spirit of uniqueness is the very spirit of God Almighty in your life.
