RISE ABOVE THE GOLIATH
1 Samuel 17:32
And David said to Saul, Let no man’s heart fail because of him; thy servant will go and fight with this Philistine. (KJV)
Read: 1 Samuel 17
Life compares to a 100-metre hurdle race, where you must consistently leap over the obstacles and maintain your balance to emerge victorious. Those hurdles are similar to what the Israelites experienced in today’s Bible reading. Led by the strong man Goliath, the Philistines consistently threatened the people of Israel, instilling fear in the city for days.
There might be specific issues in your life that symbolise a Goliath and the Philistines. It could be a delay encountered or a disease that has drained your peace and joy since the doctor diagnosed it. Now, you live in fear. The good news is that nothing is too hard for God to overturn!
The fellow who wants you to live as a slave is also a Goliath! These people feel exalted and unnecessarily satisfied when you are at their mercy. For example, a boss who refuses to allow you to progress at work or support your skill acquisition and development is a blocker. I decree! Whatever makes you vulnerable to slavery and disfavour is wiped out, in Jesus’ name.
In Verse 8 of the Scriptural focus, Goliath boasted, “Choose a man and let him fight me.” In the same way, those complex problems that seem to multiply no matter how hard you try to solve them are Goliath-like. However, in the mighty name of Jesus, both your Goliath and the spirit of the Philistines tormenting your rest are silenced forever.
Beloved, amidst the threats, the Israelites were sore afraid. But little David arose, took five stones (JESUS), and drove the first into Goliath’s skull, after which he cut off his head, sealing a generational victory for the people of God. This day, you will pray to pull down your Goliath and the Philistines to secure a lifelong victory for your household and nation.
