We do not know much about King David<\/a> prior to being anointed as k<\/g>ing<\/g>. He had been an ordinary shepherd. Key events in his life up until that point would have been the slaying of a giant and perhaps lions and bears. All of these were positions that he had control over. He could have let a lion or bear take his father’s sheep. There was no reason for him to get involved with fighting a giant. Prayer for protection from enemies became a necessity once his destiny was activated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Being anointed is dangerous. Those who would not have known about what God has placed in you begin to see it in you. Destiny demands a struggle. This is why King Saul who should have adored this boy who had stood up to the giant began to hurl spears at him. Your anointing will intimidate those whose attention you would have never gotten. Raise Prayer<\/a> for protection from enemies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

None of this is reason enough to not walk in the purpose<\/a> that the Lord has set out for you. He did not bring you this far to see you fail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Joseph was another example. The Bible tells us that when his brothers heard about his dream, they hated him even MORE. His coat of many colours was symbolic of his anointing. It earmarked him as being different from the rest. He was set apart in ways that his brothers were unable to make sense of. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

His dreams are a manifestation<\/a> of his anointing. This is what aroused enmity in them. Your greatness will not sit well with everyone. Even those who have supported you at your lowest may become intimidated as you rise. People want to see you succeed as long as you remain beneath them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His own father was somewhat taken aback by his dreams as well. People will no see what is in you, do not let that be a reason to stop running towards it. The only one you need on this journey is God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Philippians 1:6 King James Version (KJV)<\/p>

6 <\/strong>Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The scripture above says it all. No matter what is chasing you, or trying to derail your mission. God has the mandate to complete what he has started in you. It is in his nature to finish what he starts. You can rest assured of that. The enemy is always lurking, waiting for your most vulnerable moment. This is when he looks to strike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
