The Anointing of Man: Chosen by Man

Saul was anointed as king of Israel as a result of desires of people. The people desired to have a king to rule over them so they asked God for a king like all the other nations. The people desire for a king was birthed through insecurity that was developed from past leadership. Eli allowing his corrupt sons to operate as priest in the temple of God. Eli poor leadership and improper chastisement of his son brought about bondage and insecure feelings for the people of God. This led to Saul being anointed by Samuel with a vial of oil which was not the traditional way to anoint a man of God. The word vial is used on eight different occasions in the bible and the word carries destruction with it in the book of Revelations. Saul was empowered because of man and not because of God. This book will challenge you to know the will of God for your life so you will not be placed by man but by God. When you are placed outside of where the Lord has anointed you to be you will not be able to operate at your fullest potential.
