You are losing battle not because the enemy is stronger than you; but because you are using the wrong weapon. You cannot shoot an ant with a gun; you will continue to miss the target and may end up injuring yourself in the process, and that is the ordeal of many believers today.
1 Samuel 17:38 And Saul armed David with his armour, and he put an helmet of brass upon his head; also he armed him with a coat of mail. 39 And David girded 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. 40 And he took his staff in his hand, and chose him five smooth stones out of the brook, and put them in a shepherd's bag which he had, even in a scrip; and his sling was in his hand: and he drew near to the Philistine.
Life is a battlefield and we move from one battle to another as we progress in this journey. Our choice of weapon is critical as we continue to war against the enemy of our next levels because the choice and knowledge of our weapon will determine our victory. David fought many battles and the bible recorded that he has never lost any because he has mastered the art of war and knows the best weapon to use at a time. Using the right weapon on the target will deliver a speedy result. David knew the exact weapon to use on Goliath so it did not take him time to kill him meanwhile the Israeli armies had been in the same battle for days. Using a weapon that has been tested and proved by you is very important. The word of God is our number one weapon. It has been tested seven times according to scripture and that is why anytime we get the right word for any battle we defeat the enemy hands down. Psalm 12:6 (The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times).
David knows that his hands have been trained to kill the enemies; He says that he kills a bear and a lion with his bare hands and he can use the same hand to kill Goliath. Psalm 18:34 (He teacheth my hands to war so that a bow of steel is broken by mine arms). The scripture describes David as a wise man and wisdom is better than weapons of war (Ecclesiastes 9:18). 1 Samuel 18:14 (And David behaved himself wisely in all his ways, and the LORD was with him). Many thought David did not fight Saul but he did with a different kind of weapon. He learns how to choose his battles wisely and that is why he never gets hurt or loses any battle. I pray for you today that you will never lose any battle again, in Jesus' name.
Our enemies the devil is a sneaky entity; after David had given Saul his testimonies of how God delivered him from a bear and a Lion; he provided him with his amour, the same amour that he could not use to kill Goliath. Immediately David caught himself and quickly rejected man's weapon and took up the armour of God. Anytime we put our trust in the help of man which is limited we limit our victories because the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds (1 Corinthians 10:4). David has in his hand a staff which represents the word of God; he took his shepherd bag, remember the LORD is our shepherd and also five stones, our rock of defense is Jesus. Friends, from today henceforth you will know the exact weapon to use against the Goliath of your next levels, in Jesus' name. You will not forget what God has done before, the Spirit of God will remind you, in the mighty name of Jesus. You cannot defeat your Goliath by counting losses, that will take away your confidence, and without confidence, you cannot kill Goliath. Your relationship with God is what will determine your victory; the confidence to confront your challenges will not be there if you are not his son or daughter. Friends, the good news is that you can make him your Lord and saviour today by praying this salvation prayer below and be saved, in Jesus' name.
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 saviour. Now I know I am Born Again, Amen.
NENE ISAH,
