Memorise: And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him
be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen. – Revelation 1:6
Read: ( 1 Samuel 16:1, 11-13 KJV)
1 And the LORD said unto Samuel, How long wilt thou mourn for Saul, seeing I
have rejected him from reigning over Israel? fill thine horn with oil, and go, I will
send thee to Jesse the Beth-lehemite: for I have provided me a king among his
sons.
11 And Samuel said unto Jesse, Are here all thy children? And he said, There
remaineth yet the youngest, and, behold, he keepeth the sheep. And Samuel
said unto Jesse, Send and fetch him: for we will not sit down till he come
hither.
12 And he sent, and brought him in. Now he was ruddy, and withal of a
beautiful countenance, and goodly to look to. And the LORD said, Arise, anoint
him: for this is he.
13 Then 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.
So Samuel rose up, and went to Ramah.

MESSAGE:
Prior to the anointing of David as King of Israel in 1 Samuel 16:11-13 , he was
ordinary like any other person. But after the anointing came on him, he received
supernatural grace to accomplish great things for God. The choice of David was
neither an accident nor coincidence. In 1 Samuel 13:14 . The Bible says this
concerning him:
‘…. The LORD hath sought him a man after his own heart…’
Thisreveals that there was a solemn search that led God to David in the
wilderness, Also, in 1 Samuel 16:7, God said:
‘… for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the LORD looketh on
the heart.’
It is therefore clear that qualification for divine royalty strictly depends on the
condition of a person’s heart towards God.
Divine royalty put a fellow in the position of authority over all circumstances of
life. At the command of a ‘ divine royal’ sickness , poverty, failure and the
demons behind them must bow. The authority, responsibilities and honour
attached to divine royalty suggest that a heart focused on God is necessary to
be eligible for such high honour and glory. The title ‘Divine Royalty ‘ is therefore
strictly reserved for a born- again and sanctified children of God. To this end ,
Daniel 7:18 reveals that the saints of God shall take and posses the kingdom
forever and ever.
‘But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a
peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath
called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:’ 1 Peter 2:9
One thing is sure: a person can only manifest the status of divine royalty if and
only if the anointing continues to rest upon him or her. We must note that there
are things divine royals cannot do and certain types of relationships they
cannot keep. 1 Corinthians 10:22 says :
‘All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are
lawful for me, but all things edify not.’
As you begin to live according to the high standard of heaven in agreement with
the Word of God, may the anointing for divine royalty fall upon you today in the
Name of Jesus. Amen.
Action Point: You are a divine royal and a member of God’s royal priesthood;
ask for grace to live up to expectation today.
