Honor the Anointing – Part 1

“If you only look at us, you might well miss the brightness. We carry this precious Message around in the unadorned clay pots of our ordinary lives. That's to prevent anyone from confusing God's incomparable power with us.”
One reason we are to respect our Pastor is because of God’s Anointing on his/her life. It’s important to separate the man from the Anointing and understand that the gift of God can flow through an imperfect vessel.
The story of David and Saul is a good example of Honoring the Anointing on someone’s life. In first Samuel chapter 19, King Saul was in a jealous rage, trying to kill David because he had been anointed King in his place. In first Samuel Chapter 24, he was pursuing David across the countryside, wanting to kill him. God was replacing Saul as King, and he was not happy!
He was yielding to the wrong spirit. One day David was hiding from Saul in a cave. Suddenly David looked up from his hiding place and saw Saul standing at the doorway of the cave, close enough for David to reach out and kill him. But David wouldn’t do it. Why? Because he knew Saul had been Anointed at one time.
