And Saul said to David, “You are not able to go against this Philistine to fight with him; for you are a youth, and he a man of war from his youth.”
34 But David said to Saul, “Your servant used to keep his father’s sheep, and when a lion or a bear came and took a lamb out of the flock, 35 I went out after it and struck it, and delivered the lamb from its mouth; and when it arose against me, I caught it by its beard, and struck and killed it. 36 Your servant has killed both lion and bear; and this uncircumcised Philistine will be like one of them, seeing he has defied the armies of the living God.” 37 Moreover David said, “The LORD, who delivered me from the paw of the lion and from the paw of the bear, He will deliver me from the hand of this Philistine.”
And Saul said to David, “Go, and the LORD be with you!”
YOUR SUCCESS DEPENDS ON WHO YOUR SUPPORTER IS.
POLITICIANS KNOW THIS PRINCIPLE VERY WELL THAT IS WHY THEY SEEK THE SUPPORT OF THOSE THAT MATTER IN THE SOCIETY.
THE MOMENT THEY HAVE THE GOOD SUPPORT, THEY ARE CONFIDENT TO FACE THEIR OPPOSITION.
EVEN BEFORE THE ELECTION TAKES PLACE, SOME CAN ALMOST OR ALREADY PREDICT THE RESULT.
AN ASPIRANT SPENDS THE MONEY DONATED BY HIS SUPPORTERS TO CAMPAIGN IN AN ELECTION.
FOR ANYONE WHO MAKES GOD HIS SUPPORTER, ENOUGH RESOURCES OF THE LORD ARE AT THE DISPOSAL OF SUCH PERSON.
YOU MAY BE CONSIDERED YOUNG IN AGE, SMALL IN STATURE AND INEXPERIENCE IN A FIELD, YET YOUR SUCCESS IS GUARANTEED IF GOD IS YOUR SUPPORTER.
1 SAM.17:34 – 35 (READ) 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 when he arose against me, I caught him by his beard, and smote him, and slew him.
WHEN GOD IS INVOLVED, THE LITTLE EFFORT YOU MAKE, SUPPORTED BY GOD ACHIEVES SUCCESS GREATER THAN THE RANGE OF YOUR AGE OR YOUR EXPERIENCE.
IN ISAHIAH 40:28-29 (READ) 28 Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding.
29 He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength.
THE UNBEATABLE STRENGHT OF GOD FLOWED THROUGH THE HANDS OF DAVID TO KILL THE TWO DANGEROUS ANIMALS.
PHYSICALLY, WHAT COULD BE SEEN WERE THE WEAK HANDS OF A YOUTH WHO TOOK THE RISK OF FACING THE LION AND A BEAR, BUT BEHIND THOSE WEAK AND FEEBLE HANDS WERE THE ARMS OF THE EVERLASTING GOD.
IN THE SAME MANNER, DAVID KILL GOLIATH WITH A STONE IN 1 SAM. 17: 49 – 51.
NO WISDOM AND EXPERIENCE OF THE ENEMY CAN DELIVER HIM IN BATTLE WHEN GOD IS ON YOUR SIDE. GOLIATH SAW THE STONE BUT HE COULD NOT DODGE BECAUSE GOD WAS FIGHTING HIM THROUGH DAVID.
IN EXODUS 14:21-28, “ Then Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and the LORD caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all that night, and made the sea into dry land, and the waters were divided. 22 So the children of Israel went into the midst of the sea on the dry ground, and the waters were a wall to them on their right hand and on their left. 23 And the Egyptians pursued and went after them into the midst of the sea, all Pharaoh’s horses, his chariots, and his horsemen.
24 Now it came to pass, in the morning watch, that the LORD looked down upon the army of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire and cloud, and He troubled the army of the Egyptians. 25 And He took off[a] their chariot wheels, so that they drove them with difficulty; and the Egyptians said, “Let us flee from the face of Israel, for the LORD fights for them against the Egyptians.”
26 Then the LORD said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand over the sea, that the waters may come back upon the Egyptians, on their chariots, and on their horsemen.” 27 And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and when the morning appeared, the sea returned to its full depth, while the Egyptians were fleeing into it. So the LORD overthrew the Egyptians in the midst of the sea. 28 Then the waters returned and covered the chariots, the horsemen, and all the army of Pharaoh that came into the sea after them. Not so much as one of them remained.”
ALL MOSES HAD TO DO WAS TO LIFT HIS HAND AGAINST THE RED SEA AND HIS SUPPORTER SEND AN EAST WIND TO PART THE SEA.
BELOVED IT WAS NOT SENSIBLE TO LIFT A ROD AGAINST A BARRIER LIKE THE RED SEA AS MOSES DID, BUT WITH GOD ON HIS SIDE, WHAT WOULD TAKE THE ENGINEERS A LONG TIME TO DO TOOK HIM A FEW SECONDS.
START TO THINK AND ACT OUT OF THE BOX THAT THE WORLD HAS CAGED YOU BY MAKING GOD INVOLVE IN ALL YOUR SITUATION THEN YOUR VICTORIES SHALL HAS NO END.
