God rejected all the sons Jesse paraded before Samuel because they didn’t have what God was looking for. God was not just looking for a king over Israel, He was looking for a shepherd over His people. The only person that qualified was not even in the house the day the prophet came but God knew where he was; He was at his duty post.
There is a duty and a duty post that God has attached to you to prepare you for the prophetic thing that He assigned to you. You find people that are parading in the house of God, attending church whenever they like. They come in at any time, waiting for the day that someone will notice them. God is aware of the gift that He gave you, but He wants you to qualify yourself. David was right there playing the harp to animals, chasing lions, watching over the flock. He wasn't risking his life, rather, a sense of responsibility was developing inside him.
If your duty is to sweep the church and you do it well, God is taking notice. One of the reasons many people fail is because they ignore the small and little things that God is working through. Every minister that is doing something great for God today will tell you that the greatness you see in them today is rooted in something that they did years before. It is in the place of faithfulness that you develop and acquire abilities that will be needed in the day of your enthronement.
PRAYER: Lord, I receive grace for the right response to the things God is using to prepare me for the future. Amen.
