1Samuel 16
“The Lord said to Samuel, “How long will you mourn for Saul, since I have rejected him from ruling over Israel? Fill your horn with oil and go. I will send you to Jesse the Bethlehemite, for I have chosen a king for Myself from among his sons.””
1 Samuel 16:1 MEV
Cross references
1 Samuel 15:23; 15:35;
Fill and Go
What are you carrying?
The word fill means “to be full of” and “to furnish.” The believer can be full of religion and tradition, or he can be full of the Holy Spirit. We are to be full of the Holy Spirit in order for the Holy Spirit to furnish what we need for the task at hand. When power is needed, the Holy Spirit furnishes it. When help is needed, when grace is needed, when instruction is needed, or when whatever is needed, the Holy Spirit furnishes it. Horn in the Hebrew means “a flask,” “a container,” “a receptacle,” and it is figurative of power. Today, spiritually speaking, we are the horn, the receptacle of power and anointing of the Holy Spirit. -FILL THINE HORN WITH OIL AND GO, Donnie Swaggart-
Our body is a container “temple” for the Holy Spirit.
The anointing of the Holy Spirit is the only power that can break the yoke of bondage of sin, sickness, poverty, and religious tradition.
God questioned Samuel, “Why are you mourning what I rejected?”
Why are we carrying worries about things that God has already promised?
What are you filled with?
God instructed Samuel to fill his horn “container” with oil.
It was up to Samuel to fill his container. It is up to us to fill our minds with the things of God. We have to prepare room for the anointing of the Holy Spirit by reading God’s Word, and choosing to listen to faith messages rather than filling our minds with secular knowledge or entertainment.
God created us with authority and power. Jesus conquered death to give us that power back for His purpose which is to go and share the Gospel, the good news of salvation and power over all the snares of the enemy.
Stop mourning your circumstances or the fear of future circumstances. Empty your horn of such nonsense and fill up on the things of God.
Action Step
Time is short!
Seek Him First and His righteousness and all will be added!
That is how you empty out the worldly and be filled with the anointing of the Holy Spirit.
Fill and Go!
