Greetings, valiant warriors of faith! May today awaken your spirit to recognize God’s hand even in the places you least expect it. ✨

Scriptural Insight: 1 Samuel 18:11 (KJV) 📖
“And Saul cast the javelin; for he said, I will smite David even to the wall with it. And David avoided out of his presence twice.”

Friends, being chosen by God does not exempt us from adversity—it often invites it. When the anointing is evident, the attack intensifies.

David had just been anointed by the prophet Samuel, celebrated for slaying Goliath, and was playing music to soothe Saul’s spirit. Yet, in return, Saul hurled a javelin at him—”twice.” This moment is a powerful lesson: favor often attracts fire. The oil on your life will stir both admiration and opposition, not because of what you’ve done wrong, but because of what God has destined you to become.

Many mistake hardship as a sign of disqualification. But Scripture teaches us that trials are often the confirmation of purpose. Like David, your enemies may throw javelins, but God will always provide an escape route and a deeper revelation of your calling. Stay faithful. Your anointing speaks even when others try to silence it.

Beloved, I’ve learned that the anointing comes with a cost. There were seasons I questioned why I was under fire when I was only obeying God’s call. But now I see—God was strengthening me in the shadows while elevating me for greater. If you’re under attack, it may be the best proof you’re walking in divine purpose. Don’t run from the attack. Run into God’s presence and let Him fight for you.

Let Us Go into The Throne Room of Grace and Mercy:

Heavenly Father, 👑 thank You for trusting us with Your calling. Even when attacks come, remind us that we are chosen. Fortify our hearts, guard our minds, and help us to walk boldly in our purpose. Hide us in Your refuge when the enemy strikes and let our anointing speak louder than any opposition. In Jesus’ mighty name, To God Be The Glory. 🙏🏿

🚶‍♀️🚶‍♂️I’m Bishop W. F. Houston Jr., and I’m walking beside you, standing strong beneath the weight of your anointing!
