THE ONE WHO GOT HIRED BY THE KING

The KING has a Special Recruitment Program and the KING is God.

God selects people in every GENERATION to be his Special Assistants and Ambassadors on FOREIGN (earth's) affairs.

No, God does not select by colour, age, gender, nationality, luck, profile or popularity - It takes more than brains and a degree from Harvard or Princeton to work for the KING of kings.

THIS IS HOW GOD RECRUITS

Once, God sent Samuel to recruit a Special Assistant for him in the nation of Israel. Samuel put out a job ad and all screened candidates were invited for interview.

"When they arrived, Samuel took one look at Eliab and thought, “Surely this is the Lord’s anointed!” But the Lord said to Samuel, “Don’t judge by his appearance or height, for I have rejected him. The Lord doesn’t see things the way you see them. People judge by outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.” (1 Samuel 16:6-7) NLT

The same thing happened for all the seven candidates that were interviewed by Samuel that day. None of them met the KING's qualification.

In one last attempt, Samuel asked if there was anyone else who's not been interviewed. It turned out there was one left out during the screening and selection process. His name was David Jesse

DAVID WAS BROUGHT IN

And the Lord said, “This is the one; anoint him.” 1Samuel 16:12

DAVID did not have a tall resume.

DAVID was a reddish skinned young man- the type you'd ignore in a beauty contest but he had a positive attitude.

DAVID was the errand boy for the Big boys at home

DAVID was not qualified to sit with special guests at the family table.

DAVID was the one left to feed the livestock - or should we say house chores when the rest went to party and movie theatres.

YET DAVID GOT THE JOB

After David was selected, he got his first job in the King's Palace as musician
And that was re beginning of David's ascent to the throne.

Why did David get the job he did not apply for and literally not qualified for?

DAVID had a GREAT HEART for God and people.  His internal affairs was in order.

"I have FOUND David my servant; with my holy oil have I anointed him: With whom my hand shall be established: mine arm also shall strengthen him" Psalm 89:20-21

The ONE who gets the KING's job could be any one from any nation - white or black, male or female, bond or free, beautiful or ugly, educated or illiterate. But THAT ONE must have a great HEART for GOD and GOD's PURPOSE on earth.
