Psalms 118:8(It is better to trust the LORD than to put
confidence in man).
1 Samuel 17:32(And David said to Saul, let no man’s heart fail
because of him; thy servant will go and fight with this Philistine. 33 And Saul
said to David, thou art not able to go against this Philistine to fight with
him: for thou art but a youth, and he a man of war from his youth. 34 And David
said unto Saul, Thy servant kept his father’s sheep, and there came a lion, and
a bear, and took a lamb out of the flock: 35 and I went out after him, and
smote him, and delivered it out of his mouth: and he arose against me, I caught
him by his beard, and smote him and slew him).
As we continue in this topic “Guard your royal robe” our
confidence in God is our royal robe; that’s what makes us who we are in Christ
Jesus. Our confidence in God is the God in us because without him we are just
ordinary men and women. 1 John 4:4(Ye are of God, little children,
and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is
in the world). A child of a goat is a goat and a child of
God is god. John 10:34(Jesus answered them, is it not written in
your law, I said, ye are gods?) Psalm 82:6(I have said, ye are gods; and all of
you are children of the most high). Until you make yourself god
over those situations you will not be able to defeat them. God told Moses that
he had made him god unto Pharaoh and he went in the consciousness of that word
to defeat Pharaoh (Exodus 7:1). It is not your fault
that you are god, that’s who you are by redemption; a vivid knowledge of your
redemptive right brings about confidence which is your royal robe and you need
to wear it with pride for it to work perfectly. King David wore his royal robe
with pride because he was already a king even though King Saul was their
earthly king then (1 Samuel 17). It is only a blind man that will not see
David’s royal robe. Goliath saw his royal robe but he thought he could stripe
it of him, because that’s the only way he would be able to defeat the king
that’s coming to challenge him but he fail because this king voice is already
registered in heaven, and whatever he says heaven does (Matthew
16:19). God made David god unto Goliath; it was God in David that
defeated Goliath, the bear and the lion. Our confidence in God is the God in us
and the enemy cannot root Him out except we permit him. Job
18:14(His confidence shall be rooted out of his tabernacle, and it shall bring
him to the king of terrors). Satan is a terrorist, he uses fear
to conquer his victim and that’s why God says that He has not given us the
spirit of fear but of power, and of love and of sound mind (2
Timothy 1:7). We are ordained a king and a Queen to rule over our
situation; please don’t permit them to rule over you. David knew he was a king;
it is not pride, it is who he is as a covenant child and he knows it. David has
to convince king Saul and his armies that he killed bear and lion and only the
king that has his voice registered in heaven does that and they agreed with
him. Friends, Satan knows that you are royalty and that’s why he wants to strip
you naked off your royal robe by bombarding you with all those challenges but
if you will hold on to your royal robe he will fail. Your confidence is the
number one target of the enemy; when he shoots his arrow he will aim at it. It
is your armor, that’s why David said that he does not need any armor from the
king that he has not proved. He has an armor that he has tested and sure of,
which is his royal robe, his confidence in God. 1 Samuel 17:39(And
David girded his sword upon his sword upon his armour and he assayed to go; for
he had not proved it And David said unto Saul, I cannot go with these; for I
have not proved them. And David put them off him). God said we
should trust only Him and that was exactly what David told King Saul indirectly
that he does not trust him. God went ahead to prove to us why we should not
trust men using the same people David and Saul as an example. We all know how
long King Saul pursues David to kill him. If David trusted in Saul armor the
first time it would have been easy for Saul to kill him. It was recorded that
David never loses any battle because he trusted in God; his confidence in God
was something else. He was like a baby to God, a lamb but to his enemy he was a
lion. He was a man after God’s heart (1 Samuel 13:14); God
want you to be a man and a woman after His own heart because His searches the
heart every second to see whose heart is after his own; may you be the next
person to be found in Jesus name (1 Chronicles 28:9). The
book of psalm will tell you the kind of relationship David has with God. If you
think you have enemies go through the book Psalm you will know that you have no
enemy. All those enemies of David could not defeat him because of his
confidence in God; if you follow his footstep they will not defeat you and you
will come out victorious in Jesus name. The first step in our relationship with
God is salvation and this simple prayer below will usher you into that
relationship.
Lord Jesus, I come to you today, I am a sinner, and I cannot
help myself, forgive me my sins, and cleanse me with your precious blood.
Deliver me from sin and Satan to serve the living God. Lord Jesus, I accept you
as my Lord and savior. Now I know I am Born Again, Amen.
