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

Dominion Mandate Daily Devotional Thursday,March 3

By
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...

By
Open Heavens Daily Devotional Friday July 15th 2016 Memory Verse: Lay hands suddenly on no man, neither be partaker of other men’s sins: keep thyself pure. - 1 Timothy 5:22 Bible Reading: 2 Chronicles 18:28-34 28. So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah went up to Ramoth-gilead.  29. And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, I will disguise myself, and will go to the battle; but put thou on thy robes. So the king of Israel disguised himself; and they went to the battle.  30. Now the king of Syria had commanded the captains of the chariots that were with him, saying, Fight ye not with small or great, save only with the king of Israel.  31. And it came to pass, when the captains of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, that they said, It is the king of Israel.

We Fail To Achieve Greatness Because We Fear Success By John Hagee

By
John Hagee Daily Devotional Thursday 11th August 2016  I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.  - One reason we do not reach excellence is because of our fear of failure.  Failure is a better teacher than success.  Every great success story has its element of failure.  You have not failed until you quit; only then have you failed.  After Thomas Edison finished his 700th experiment trying to develop the electric light his assistant said, “We have failed.”  Edison replied, “No.   We have found 700 ways that will not work.  Do not call these 700 experiments mistakes; call them our education.  Now let’s keep going until we find the answer.”  Are you afraid of failure?  Then you’ll never succeed.  You’ll never stub your toe standing still.  Remember the turtle, he never gets anywhere until he sticks his neck out.  You can’t succeed if you’re not willing to risk failure. Have you failed? Get up. ...
