In Matthew, we read about Jesus entering the house of the synagogue leader. He saw the flute players and the noisy crowd and commanded, “Go away; the girl is not dead but asleep.” They laughed at Him. After putting the crowd outside, He went in, took the girl by the hand, and she rose. All the mockers and scorners need to be removed from the room. All negative voices that speak death over your life or the life of your dreams must be eliminated. Shut the door!
I want to share a wonderful comparison of the anointing and journey of Joseph and David and ask you to think about your own life. Joseph was given 4 coats. These had intricate meanings. David, too, was given articles, including a coat.
David was anointed three times. Both Joseph and David experienced similar journeys concerning hatred, humility, crushing, and maturity in order to receive the final mantle and the oil once they were mature enough for their assignments and prepared for Leadership.
