OVERCOMING THE GIANTS - PT - 4.
Please Read 1Sam 17:4-9.
(The Demands Of Goliath)
Goliath was a representative of the Philistines. He called out for someone, anyone from the army of Israel to fight him. Goliath was aggressive. He was persistent. Every day, twice a day, for 40 days, Goliath stood in the territory that belonged to Israel and demanded that someone fight him.
The size of Goliath; the sound of Goliath; the strength of Goliath were frightening. The people of God were actually in the bondage of fear because of some ‘giant’ that stood against them and their God. Goliath wanted God’s people to surrender so they could serve his people.
When David heard these demands, he became very upset because no one had the courage to stand up against this ‘giant’ Goliath. David knew that eventually Goliath would have to be faced, and he would have to be defeated. Goliath was standing and shouting at God’s people. Israel was God’s chosen people. In fact, when David appears on the scene, Goliath was going to face the future king of Israel. David, we are told back in (1 Samuel 16) had been chosen by God and had been anointed to be the future king of Israel. This means that after David had been (anointed) king, God had (appointed) him to face and fight Goliath.
I want you to understand something. It makes no difference who you think you are or how good a Christian you may be or you want to be...there are going to be times in your life when God will (appoint) you and (allow) you to face a ‘giant’. And you will not be able to move on in your Christian life until you confront that ‘giant’. Don't let the devil or any situation stagnate Od delay your destiny. Take that bold step and confront that giant today and your glory will break forth.
"May we receive courage to face that that giant-like situation in our walk with God"
Pray with me;
Lord deliver me from all spiritually imposed fear/intimidation in Jesus name!
Be blessed!
