THE CALLED & CHOSEN: WE CANNOT BE DISOBEDIENT TO GOD AND EXPECT BLESSINGS FROM HIM. GOD HAS NEVER, AND WILL NEVER REWARD ANY ACT OF REBELLION AGAINST HIS AUTHORITY OR COMMANDMENTS. FALLING OUT OF ORDER WITH GOD HAS A CONSEQUENCES THAT IS TOO SEVERE FOR ANY SOUL TO BEAR. BEING ANOINTED BY GOD, OR OF GOD; DOES NOT GUARANTEE SALVATION. BUT STAYING CONNECTED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT IS ALL THAT IS REQUIRED TO RECEIVE THE CROWN OF LIFE PROMISED BY OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST. (MATTHEW, 24:-13). WE MUST NOT ONLY LOVE HIM BY OUR MERE WORDS OF MOUTH, RATHER, WE MUST ALSO OBEY HIS COMMANDMENTS IF WE ARE NOT TO FORFEIT OUR CITIZENSHIP OF HIS KINGDOM. MANY ARE CALLED, BUT FEW ARE CHOSEN. (MATTHEW, 22:-14). OF WHAT BENEFIT IS THE ANOINTMENT OF GOD ON A MAN THAT CANNOT CONTROL HIS HOUSEHOLD? THAT ANOINTMENT WILL NOT EXONORATE HIM FROM BEING JUDGED ON THAT DAY. SAUL HAS THE ANOINTMENT TO BE KING OVER ISRAEL. ELI ALSO HAS THE ANOINTMENT AS THE HIGH PRIEST. THEY WERE BOTH PUNISHED FOR FALLING OUT OF ORDER WITH GOD. IN CONCLUSION: MAY THE GOD OF PEACE, THAT BROUGHT AGAIN FROM THE DEAD OUR LORD JESUS, THAT GREAT SHEPHERD OF THE SHEEP, THROUGH THE BLOOD OF THE EVERLASTING COVENANT, MAKE US PERFECT IN EVERY GOOD WORK TO DO HIS WILL, WORKING IN US THAT WHICH IS WELL-PLEASING IN HIS SIGHT, THROUGH JESUS CHRIST; TO WHOM BE GLORY FOREVER AND EVER. AMEN.
