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

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 ...

A NEW MONTH OF DIVINE ANNOUNCEMENT

By
But the angel said unto him, Fear not, Zacharias: for thy prayer is heard; and thy wife Elisabeth shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name John. Luke 1:13 The Bible is replete of records on how God announced some events before they finally happened. Because you made it into the new Month, God will specially announce you in Jesus name.  Whenever God want to do something unusual, He first of all announce it, for instance, when He wanted to delivered the children of Israelite from the hand of the philistine whom He has delivered them to, He sent an angel to break the new to the parent of the deliverer - Samson. Judges 13.  When God wanted to turn the hearts of men back to Himself, He sent angel Gabriel to announced the birth of John the Baptist to his father, Zacharias. Also when God was fully ready for the redemption of man, He first announced it to the one whose body His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ will pass through to the earth. Luke 1:26-38. That was the...

Nothing To Do, Only Believe By Joseph Prince

By
Daily Grace Inspirations Thursday 11th August 2016 …“What shall we do, that we may work the works of God?” Jesus answered and said to them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He sent.” - John 6:28–29 When I was a young Christian, I attended a seminar on what we must do to “work the works of God”. I was told that we had to pray more, fast more, know our enemy and so on. I came away from the seminar confused. Then one day, I found the same question in the Bible. But the answer was very different! In the Gospel of John, we find Jesus being asked the same question by the multitude who had been awed by His miracles—“What shall we do, that we may work the works of God?” The people had seen Jesus healing the sick, and feeding 5,000 men with only five loaves and two fish. Notice how Jesus answered them: “This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He sent.” My friend, the greatest doing is believing—believing in Jesus the sent one, who has done it all ...
