Topic : Some Lessons From Saul’s Experience.

Memory Verse :‭1 Samuel 10:1. Then Samuel took a flask of olive oil and poured it on Saul’s head and kissed him, saying, “Has not the Lord anointed you ruler over his inheritance?

Bible Reading :‭1 Samuel 9:19-20 NIV‬. Key Verse : v19.

“I am the seer,” Samuel replied. “Go up ahead of me to the high place, for today you are to eat with me, and in the morning I will send you on your way and will tell you all that is in your heart. As for the donkeys you lost three days ago, do not worry about them; they have been found. And to whom is all the desire of Israel turned, if not to you and your whole family line?”

This time the Lord set up Saul for a meeting with Samuel, so that he could step into the next season of his life. Because God needed to launch Saul into a new phase of his life and earthly assignment, he allowed his father’s ass to get missing. Saul and his servant had to be sent to go and find the lost ass. After their futile search experience which lasted few days, they decided to engage the assistance of Samuel the seer. The meeting Saul had with Samuel opened him up to the reason God wanted him to meet Samuel the seer. “Then Samuel took a flask of olive oil and poured it on Saul’s head and kissed him, saying, “Has not the Lord anointed you ruler over his inheritance? When you leave me today, you will meet two men near Rachel’s tomb, at Zelzah on the border of Benjamin. They will say to you, ‘The donkeys you set out to look for have been found. And now your father has stopped thinking about them and is worried about you. He is asking, “What shall I do about my son?” ’ 1 Samuel 10:1-2.

We need to pick some lessons from the experience of Saul, the lost ass and his meeting with Samuel. The first lesson here is that most time promotion and higher blessings appear in their early stages as problems, trials and difficulties of life. When you follow through the tunnel, you will finally see yourself in unsolicited promotion and blessings. Without the donkeys getting lost in the first place, there won’t have been any search experience and meeting with the man of God. On a second note, the assignment of leadership God was committing to the care of Saul needed the anointing of the Lord for him to be enabled to perform. The anointing this new assignment attracted upon his life, opened him up for strange things and uncommon favour. ‭“Then you will go on from there until you reach the great tree of Tabor. Three men going up to worship God at Bethel will meet you there. One will be carrying three young goats, another three loaves of bread, and another a skin of wine. They will greet you and offer you two loaves of bread, which you will accept from them.” 1 Samuel 10:3-4.

Another lesson to learn from Saul’s experience is that the anointing that comes by following divine agenda for your life will cause you to do what you have not done before or what you never thought that you could do in your lifetime (Saul prophesied among the company of Prophets). Not only that, you will be empowered to cause a shift anywhere you find yourself. Saul didn’t just prophesy only, he also received grace that will cause everything he touched with his hands from that time onwards to produce good results, 1 Samuel 10:5-7. On a final note, we learnt from Saul that there are men you must follow with wisdom when God is doing or is about to do great things in your life. ‭”Now Saul’s uncle asked him and his servant, “Where have you been?” “Looking for the donkeys,” he said. “But when we saw they were not to be found, we went to Samuel.” Saul’s uncle said, “Tell me what Samuel said to you.” Saul replied, “He assured us that the donkeys had been found.” But he did not tell his uncle what Samuel had said about the kingship.” 1 Samuel 10:14-16

Prayer : Thank you Father God for all things work together for in the life of those who love and serve you. Thank you because of every challenges on my way that are leading me to step into the next and higher phase of my life. Give me wisdom to navigate my way to victory in Jesus wonderful name….. Amen 🙏🏿.

Yearly Bible Reading : Esther 1:1-22.
