GUARD YOUR ROYAL ROBE: PART 2 (EXAMPLE OF KING DAVID)

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.
