By the Hand of God, Beat down Goliath

By the Hand of God, Beat down Goliath

1 Samuel 17

28 Now Eliab his oldest brother heard when he spoke to the men; and Eliab’s anger was aroused against David, and he said, “Why did you come down here? And with whom have you left those few sheep in the wilderness? I know your pride and the insolence of your heart, for you have come down to see the battle.”

29 And David said, “What have I done now? Is there not a cause?” 30 Then he turned from him toward another and said the same thing; and these people answered him as the first ones did.

45 Then David said to the Philistine, “You come to me with a sword, with a spear, and with a javelin. But I come to you in the name of the Lord of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied. 46 This day the Lord will deliver you into my hand, and I will strike you and take your head from you. And this day I will give the carcasses of the camp of the Philistines to the birds of the air and the wild beasts of the earth, that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel. 47 Then all this assembly shall know that the Lord does not save with sword and spear; for the battle is the Lord’s, and He will give you into our hands.”

48 So it was, when the Philistine arose and came and drew near to meet David, that David hurried and ran toward the army to meet the Philistine. 49 Then David put his hand in his bag and took out a stone; and he slung it and struck the Philistine in his forehead, so that the stone sank into his forehead, and he fell on his face to the earth. 50 So David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and a stone, and struck the Philistine and killed him. But there was no sword in the hand of David. 51 Therefore David ran and stood over the Philistine, took his sword and drew it out of its sheath and killed him, and cut off his head with it.

Zechariah 4:6

6 So he answered and said to me: “This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel: ‘Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,’ Says the Lord of hosts. 7 ‘Who are you, O great mountain? Before Zerubbabel you shall become a plain! And he shall bring forth the capstone With shouts of “Grace, grace to it!”’”

1 Samuel 17

The Davidic Generation

Generation is now a season and time that we find we are living in.

Our current live has been invaded by the enemies of our souls

1. Parenting
2. Technology
3. Impatience
4. Environment
5. Spirituality

We might have compromised our position.

There is need to protect the sovereignty of the the Kingdom

There is always a giant

The enemy of our soul is powerful until we render him powerless

If we don’t deal with these giants under our watch then we leave it to the next generation to fight.

1. Faithful to his watch: but faithful is not perfect. Moses was faithful though not perfect.
2. Takes actives steps to engage with the situation at hand: someone who takes initiative.
3. Walk in faith: faith is courage in action in the midst of fear; faith attracts God. Faith stands.
4. Someone who has a working/ militant mentality. It is about over coming challenge and adversity.
5. Worshippers of Jesus: just love being in the presence of God.

You were born to win. But to be a winner, you must plan to win, prepare to win, and expect to win. Let’s win battles today. A bless Father’s Day to you.

Zechariah 4:6-7

6 So he answered and said to me: “This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel: ‘Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,’ Says the Lord of hosts. 7 ‘Who are you, O great mountain? Before Zerubbabel you shall become a plain! And he shall bring forth the capstone With shouts of “Grace, grace to it!”’”
