Reflection Friday

The story of David and Goliath still excites me so much! I mean we read these stories and sometimes it’s just “a story” like Cinderella but man think of it! David killed Goliath. Small kid vs Giant. A boy who had never worn armour or carried a sword killed a grown man who the bible says had started fighting as a boy. The people you found on the field, those that are the so called “heroes” the “experts” – by and through God , in you is the capacity to overthrow them.

Story time. My sister Valerie used to beat me so much. Yho! She was always hitting me and so I was really scared of her. BUT ONE DAY! One day I met that girl in battle lol eh l fought back. I then realised, all it took was for me to discover the strength within. All it takes for you is to reflect and discover! Self introspection also helps with the journey or process of self discovery. Many people who say “I don’t know what my gifts and talents are”, are people who have not taken time to discover the giant in them. David had discovered in the wilderness that he could fight! He had discovered that in him, in that small body, was a giant! In that boy was capacity to subdue a nation! How many young boys and girls have such capacity but all they are taught is “This is for adults – prayer is for adults- studying the word is for grannies!” The bible clearly shows us that age doesn’t stop us from subduing nations!

Goliath had never discovered the boy in him and the realisation came too late. I dare say anyone who has not reflected to the point of knowing and understanding their need for Christ will always be a boy or girl inside. Always immature even at 90. The muscles mean nothing at-most they can get you a hot girl or likes on Instagram. The real growth is inside out. If you don’t grow inside, when the battle comes, you’ll crumble like you’ve never worn an armour before because that battle had nothing to do with armour.

David look within! You have it in you! You have what it takes! Don’t let the sneer of those who “look” like giants scare you into thinking you don’t have capacity. Refuse to the threatened by Goliaths who have never killed the lion and the bear before . You have already gone through so many battles to give up now. Nobody may have seen you fighting in the wilderness, they may doubt that you can really do it; but arise and shine!!! Arise and meet the giant in battle. Greater is He who is in YOU!

Think about it… do you really believe you can’t do it? Do you think you can’t birth that dream? What is the threat? Don’t you trust Christ in you who is the hope of glory? You are a giant, forget the small body, forget the age , you are a giant! As you did in the wilderness , go out there and win!

“David said to Saul, “Let no one lose heart on account of this Philistine; your servant will go and fight him.””
