Thoughts for another day

Sept. 14, 2009

Today's verse: 1 Sam. 17:45. Thou comest to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a shield: but I come to thee in the name of the LORD of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom thou hast defied. (KJV)

Faced with problems in your life? How do your address them?

Here’s a good way of facing them and I’d like to call it the ‘Davidic way’ because there isn’t a problem that can’t be solved when this method is used. The enemy comes with deadly weapons and great cries so as to frighten us. Just a small doubt in our minds is enough for him to conquer us and overwhelm us. But the Word of God stands as our guarantee. The Name of the Most High is our shield and His Holiness our guard.

Most of us learn not how to withstand the spears of the evil one, the destroyer of souls and that is why most of humanity, particularly believing Christians, is in disarray because they haven’t understood the method by which we can destroy the darts the evil one throws our way. You can and I’m sure you will conquer the spears of the evil one and be victorious, but mind you, they come with the sowing of disbelief and in your weakness. The devil is the master of deception and the father of lies and he knows well how to disarm us. When David saw Goliath, just the sight of the giant would have unnerved and scared him. But David did not allow his eyes to focus on what Goliath had; rather he focused on what God could do.

See, when you stand in the name of the Lord of hosts, the Most High, the awesome and mighty One, none will dare do anything to you. Yeah, they might try to frighten you, but never ever be frightened, rather stand your ground and declare the Name of the Lord and then the devil will know not how fast to run and where, for let me tell you, the mere Name of God is enough to frighten the devil out of his skin.
