Move Quickly!

By
As Goliath moved closer to attack, David quickly ran out to meet him… taking out a stone, he hurled it with his sling and hit the Philistine in the forehead. The stone sank in, and Goliath stumbled and fell face down...” 1 Sam.17:48 – 49 

Saul said to David, ‘you cannot kill this Goliath’. David answered back, ‘I will kill him’ and went on to give his reasons. I killed the bear, I killed the lion, and I will kill this Goliath too. Goliath cursed David with his gods. David said you come to me with sword and spear but I come to you in the Name of the Lord of Hosts, the God of the armies of Israel whom you have defied.

Today, I will cut off your head and give your flesh to the birds. Note that the person that was speaking did not even have a sword. The whole thing made Goliath furious. The Bible says Goliath moved towards David and David says, “Offence? I am a master of offence”. David ran quickly towards Goliath, reached into his pocket, took out a stone and hit the Philistine’s forehead. Goliath stumbled and fell face down.

We have analyzed the details of this battle several times but I am going to do it again. David threw the stone and it hit Goliath’s forehead. If it was the stone that killed Goliath, coming at a high velocity and hitting Goliath’s forehead, what should happen naturally is Goliath will stagger and fall backwards, right? But the Bible says the stone hit his head, Goliath staggered and fell forward. That tells me there was an unseen force just waiting for David to release his stone. As he did, they guided it so that it would not look like nothing happened. And as the stone touched Goliath’s head, they wacked him from heaven and he fell forward. Read the Bible; it is in the Bible. Every time you move forward and attack, heaven moves forward with you.

Every time you take a step in God, heaven goes ahead of you. David did not say let me go and pray. David said, this Philistine is coming down. And God is saying to you this morning get up and attack. For some of us, the attacking we need to do is in our education. But you need some personal development for the attacking to happen. Get up and do it! “…and the Lord answered him, Pursue: for you will surely overtake them, and without fail recover all” 1Sam.30:8. You do not recover all on the defensive; you only recover all on the offensive.

Prayer: Father, as I move on the offensive in the areas You have pointed out to me, show me Your approval from heaven, in Jesus Name

His Channels

By
Rom.1:20 For ever since the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky. Through everything God made, they can clearly see his invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature. So they have no excuse for not knowing God [with emphasis]. So far we have examined three channels God uses to speak to us. If you are not reading your Bible consistently, if you are not listening to messages over and over again, and if you are not accountable to other believers, you do not have believers that are speaking into your life, you have already missed three main channels God speaks through. Channel #4: God speaks to us through His Creation. Ps.19:1 The heavens proclaim the glory of God. The skies display his craftsmanship. 2 Day after day they continue to speak; night after night they make him known. 3 They speak without a sound or word; their voice is never heard. 4 Yet their message has gone throughout the earth, and their words to all the world [with emphasis]. God’s cre...

THEME: You Can Create Whatever You Desire John 16:21-27 The instrument with which you exercise dominion over creation is your mouth.You can create whatsoever you desire by speaking that thing into existence.Whatever you say begins to exist in the spiritual form.Jesus said in John 6:63,"The words that I speak unto you,they are spirit,and they are life". In like manner,you create whatever you say and the things begin to exist in the spiritual form.What you create through words also have life and they continue to live until they find physical expression.  This is exactly what happens when you pray.The things you declare in prayer come alive and begin to exist in their spiritual form.They remain in that spiritual form until they are converted to their tangible equivalent through work. Jesus said,"until now you have asked nothing in My name.Ask,and you will receive,that your joy may be full" (John 16:24). Don't make the mistake of relaxing after you have pray...

THEME: RETREAT TO REFRESH READ: Matt. 11:25-30 When some musicians want to release great songs, they retreat to secluded places where they can reflect, meditate and create. Some choose places overlooking the vast oceans, some choose where there are waterfalls, and some choose places with thick forestations.  As they observe the beauty of nature, the swift moves and songs of the soaring birds, the colourful flowering vegetations, the serene beaches and the unending waves of the nearby waters, they capture inspiration that helps them develop the hit songs they have been longing for. I met one of the world’s renowned musicians in Atlanta, USA a few years ago where journalist surrounded him and were asking what he had come to do and why his beards had grown so much. He said that his last album did not perform well enough and he was incubating another one he wanted to release that would perform better. He said that he needed to pull away from the Noise of New York and California ...
