Post date: Nov 21, 2018 4:44:58 AM

Did you notice what happened to Saul after he was anointed by Samuel? The Holy Scripture confirmed that something very profound happened to Saul that had never happened before to him since he was born; it is noted that immediately after the anointing, when Samuel let him go with the maid to his parents house Saul was no more who he was, God’s favor followed him and led him to where he should be for the anointing to be proven. Note that the maid only witnessed the meeting between Samuel and Saul but never witnessed the anointing, and nothing was said of the maid thereafter; oh how I wish the maid was also anointed, the maid definitely missed a moment for a great change and transformation in his life. “Then Samuel took the flask of oil and poured it on Saul’s head, kissed him, and said, has the Lord not anointed you as ruler over His inheritance Israel? When you leave me today, you will meet two men beside Rachel’s tomb in the territory of Benjamin at Zelzah; they will say to you, the donkeys you went to look for have been found, and your father has stopped caring about them and is worried about you, saying, what shall I do about my son? Then you will go on further from there, and you will come to the terebinth tree of Tabor, and three men going up to sacrifice to God at Bethel will meet you there, one carrying three young goats, another carrying three loaves of bread, and another carrying a jug of wine. They will greet you and give you two loaves of bread, which you will accept from their hand. After that you will come to the hill of God where the garrison of the Philistines is; and when you come to the city, you will meet a group of prophets coming down from the high place of worship with harp, tambourine, flute, and lyre before them, and they will be prophesying. Then the Spirit of the Lord will come upon you mightily, and you will prophesy with them, and you will be changed into another man. When these signs come to you, do for yourself whatever the situation requires, for God is with you. You shall go down ahead of me to Gilgal and behold, I will be coming down to you to offer burnt offerings and to sacrifice peace offerings. You shall wait seven days until I come to you and show you what you must do.” 1 Samuel 10:1-8

After being anointed by Samuel, and besides becoming the king in Israel, ten significant things happened to Saul because of the favor that follows the anointing. You can never miss the favor that follows when you receive the anointing instituted by God from heaven. These are the ten significant things that happened to Saul. (1) ---You will meet two men beside Rachel’s tomb; ie, Saul will meet men looking for him; (2)---The donkeys you were looking for have been found; ie, Saul will hear the news of what he had been expecting. (3)---Your father is worried about you, ie, Saul will become the subject of interest in his family, not the donkeys anymore. (4)---Three men going up to sacrifice to God at Bethel will meet you, ie, Saul will start having contact with people with possession of what he needed. (5)---They will give you two loaves of bread which you will accept, ie, the favor of the anointing will unfold and they will give Saul more than what they hold back for themselves. (6)--You will meet a group of prophets coming down from the high place, ie, the meeting with this group will change Saul spiritually. (7)---Then the Spirit of the Lord will come upon you mightily, ie, the Spirit of God will enable him according to the words of the anointing. (8)---You will prophesy with them, ie, Saul will receive the ability to do what he never did before. (9)---You will be changed into another man, ie, Saul will become the man God wants not what he or his parents wants. (10)---When these signs come, do for yourself what the situation requires, for God is with you, ie, Saul will begin to work, talk and act from then on according to the commands of the anointing. The anointing took Saul to the place he ought to be, kept him in the company of people he should be and established the manifestation of the words of the anointing and people noticed, and talked about Saul from there on. Anointing changed and favored Saul completely. For prayers Click here
