Making of a King: Solving Giant Problems

There is a customized problem that only one anointed person can solve. The problem cannot be evaded. It is designed by God to reward his anointed. The giant problem is overwhelming, huge, mystifying, mind-boggling and complicated that a society cannot solve but has a high-value.

According to Isaiah 10 v27, the anointing oil breaks the yoke. Without a yoke (burden) there is nothing for the anointing to do. The yoke restricts movement and keeps one from taking his/her own path. If the two animals in a yoke are not unequally yoked it will destroy the weaker animal, that is why God says "DO NOT BE UNEQUALLY YOKED.".

The kind of anointing will determine the type of problems faced e.g. an Esther will face beauty contests. The measure of anointing determines measure of assignment. The measure of anointing is based on past faithfulness i.e. he who is faithful in little will be faithful over much." The reward of yoke breaking is equal to the yoke broken. Faithfulness leads to anointing which allows me to break yokes and I am rewarded based on the value of the yoke.


Goliath in I Samuel 17 v3-11 was a real problem for Israel. Goliath was a tall man at 9ft 9in (1 cubit=1 1/2ft,1 span=9inches) while Saul was the tallest man in Israel at about 6ft or 7ft. Goliath (giant problems) drive pretenders away, determine creative and innovative responses, delivers high value to its conqueror and only work when within range.

Goliath will show up at the right up. God times everything perfectly. Be prepared, because the first attempt must work or the Goliath will know the strategy and strike. I can either respond with fear (flight) or faith (fight).

The faith response is based on preparation ahead of opportunity; gather success stories i.e. accomplishments; seize my kairos moment-have to stop when others are fleeing; use and develop myself in my area of strength (competence); and go out boldly in God's name.

Defeating the giant problem (Goliath) leads to rewards 1 Samuel 17 v25-26; recognition in high places 1 Samuel 17 v55-58; respect in the community 1 Samuel 18 v5-7; and resentment of the envious.
