2Sa 7:8 “Now therefore, thus shall you say to My servant David, ‘Thus says the LORD of hosts: “I took you from the sheepfold, from following the sheep, to be ruler over My people, over Israel.
This was part of the message sent to king David through Nathan the prophet. David had expressed a strong desire to build a temple for God. However, God had a bigger and a better plan for David and his family lineage. In his decline message, the Lord reminded David of how he had raised him up from a low state to great grandeur and dignity.
David’s childhood assignment was to take care of his father’s sheep. He did this with great acumen and zeal until and after he was anointed king by prophet Samuel. The turnaround came after he killed Goliath and was taken into Saul’s court. He later married the King’s daughter and after the death of Saul, David was crowned the king of Israel.
That’s how our God raises his people from the background to the forefront, from the last to the first, from the bottom to the top and from the lowly of the low and causes them to dine with Kings and Queens. Like David, you could be the least celebrated person in your family, workplace, estate and even in the church. Take heart, God has not forgotten you, your time for relocation, elevation and manifestation is coming.
