1. Part 1: The Oil Falls Before The Throne Appears
Contributed on Jan 29, 2026
Have you ever received a massive promise from God, only to find your reality completely unchanged? You carry the "oil" of a King, but you’re still standing in the smell of sheep manure. This is the gap between anointing and appointment.
The Gap That Changes Everything Have you ever had a promise without a position? A calling without a platform? A deep sense that God has spoken something true about your future, but absolutely nothing in your present confirms it? You know who God is making you into. But nobody else knows it yet. ...read more

2. Part 2: The Cave Is Part Of The Calling
Contributed on Jan 29, 2026
After the oil falls, the running begins. Most of us expect a palace, but David found a cave.The Cave of Adullam wasn't a detour; it was a divine classroom.
The Path Gets Darker Before It Gets Brighter You know what nobody tells you about destiny? "God often relocates us downward before He lifts us upward" After the anointing comes the running. After the moment God says "yes" comes the season where everything says "no." ...read more

Contributed on Jan 29, 2026
Delay does not damage destiny, but bitterness does. You can survive years of waiting and still step into your calling with a poisoned soul. David’s secret weapon was his ability to lament honestly without abandoning trust.
The Enemy You Can't See You know what's interesting about David's story? He survives the cave. He passes the test of honor. He refuses to kill Saul when he has the chance. Twice. He does everything right externally. But there's another enemy. An enemy that doesn't announce ...read more

5. Part 5: God Appoints What He Anoint- In His Time
Contributed on Jan 29, 2026
After fifteen years of waiting, the moment finally arrives—but it doesn't look like a Hollywood coronation. David is crowned in Hebron, a partial fulfillment that tests his stewardship of the small before he receives the great.
The Day the Waiting Ends You know what's remarkable about the moment David finally becomes king? After everything. After the anointing in his father's house. After the years in the cave. After sparing Saul's life twice. After leading broken people in obscurity. After fighting ...read more
