  SPEAK IN FAITH

1 Samuel 17:45
 “Then said David to the Philistine, Thou comest to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a shield: but I come to thee in the name of the Lord of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom thou hast defied.”

In 1 Samuel 17:42-44, Goliath had presented himself against the army of Israel with his imposing size, threats and battle weapons, and no one dared to challenge Him. However, in our opening Scripture, David refused to see his own physical inadequacy before Goliath, who apart from being a giant, also came well equipped for the battle.

David recognized that the battle was not his, but the Lord’s, and so he began to SEE the defeat of Goliath and began to DECLARE it, challenging him in the name of the Lord. With this momentum that had welled up in him, he ran towards Goliath and delivered the sling shot that brought the giant down.

This year, refuse to consider the enormity of your situation or to take its threats to heart. Do not allow fear gain access to your heart to kill your momentum. Rather, see with the eyes of faith what God can do and what He has promised. Then, declare in line what He has said, believing in your heart, knowing that the battle is the Lord’s. When you align with God in faith this way, you will always have the victory. Glory to God!
