God’s anointing comes with a divine guarantee — not of a life without trials, but of safety, protection, and ultimate victory.
It’s a common misconception that being anointed means you’ll be exempt from challenges. But if we look at the life of David, we see a different story. Before his anointing, David lived in quiet simplicity, tending to his father’s sheep with no significant troubles. Yet, the moment the prophet Samuel anointed him for the throne, his life changed dramatically. The same king who had once loved him— Saul — became the one who sought to kill him.
As children of God, we are not promised a life free from battles. What we are promised is victory. And victory implies conflict. After all, why speak of triumph if there is no battle to be won?
Scripture tells us:
“You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.”
— Psalm 23:5 (NIV)
This speaks not only to God’s provision but also His protection — even when surrounded by opposition.
There’s a confidence I want to share with you today: If you are a genuine child of God, then the battles you face already have a known ending — God wins. You need only to stand still and know that He is God. Don’t grow weary, and don’t lose heart. Even in the midst of the storm, God is present, offering peace and preparing you for the victory ahead.
“The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still.”
— Exodus 14:14 (NIV)
He is our victory song — the melody we sing because of what Jesus accomplished. On this Good Friday, we remember not just His suffering, but His triumph over the enemy's strategy and the power of the grave — for our sake.
Whom God anoints, He protects. Whom He anoints, He preserves. But we must stay in alignment, walking in obedience to His instructions in every season. Victory is guaranteed for every true child of God. The battle is not meant to destroy you, but to reveal God's power in and through you.
The seed of David birthed Jesus — yet the enemy made several attempts to kill David, just to stop the prophecy. But he failed. That’s victory.
Now it’s your turn — claim your victory.
Stay Revived!
