PROCLAMATION
“So the young prophet went to Ramoth Gilead. When he arrived, he found the army officers
sitting together. ‘I have a message for you, commander,’ he said. … Jehu got up
and went into the house. Then the
prophet poured the oil on Jehu’s head and declared, ‘This is what The Lord, The
God of Israel, says: I anoint you king over The Lord’s people Israel.’” 2 Kings 9:4-6 (NIV)
EXPLANATION
Elisha summoned one of the young men from the company
of prophets that were with him and told him to take a flask of oil and go to
Ramoth Gilead and anoint Jehu, the son of Jehoshaphat, king of Israel. (2 Kings
9:1-3) The young prophet did as Elisha
had told him to do. Jehu was to destroy
the house of Ahab for all of the evil he had done in the eyes of The Lord.
APPLICATION
Not every believer is called by The Lord God to preach
the gospel. However, every believer has a
purpose and has a work to do for The Lord.
Some are anointed, some are called, and some are assigned specific tasks
to perform. The Lord God can use an ordinary
man to do extraordinary things. Whoever
He calls He also equips to handle the task.
If you are not sure of your God given purpose, then you need to pray and
ask Him to reveal it to you. You may want
to also consult with your pastor for assistance. None of us were born by accident, we are all
part of God’s plan with a purpose to fulfill.
There is kingdom building work for all of us to do.
