The 5 Stones that you need to Kill the Goliath in your Life
The 5 Stones that you
need to Kill the Goliath in your Life
The story of David in 1 Samuel: 17 showcases the outcome of
fear and courage. We all have spiritual battles that we fight, sometimes we
win, and other times we don't.
It is impossible to fight spiritual battles physically,
therefore, for every spiritual warfare, you must be
ready and well equipped to address it in the spiritual
realm. Before fighting any battle, there is a painful preparation process where
you must train to gain enough strength, prepare your armor and all the tools
that you will need on the battlefield.
The same way that you
prepare physically, is how you need to prepare spiritually.
The way you address your battle is dependent on the battle
and its intensity. If you are struggling with health, you will need to read the
word of God, and understand what God says about your health, then exercise it.
If you are going through financial retardation, you will need to go back to the
word so that when fighting spiritually, you will not go empty-handed, you will
have proof or backup. If it is barrenness, you can confidently tell the devil
that God has declared in Exodus 23: 26 that NONE shall be barren in the land.
There are five core things that you need before embarking on
a spiritual battle. To kill that Goliath, you will need:
COURAGE
The main reason why people lose is that they fear. You must
be bigger than your fears or else your fears will be bigger than you. Your
challenge may seem so big, but the size is irrelevant, how you approach it is
what matters in the long run. According to David, Goliath was too big to miss,
but according to King Saul, he was too big to kill. Your victory depends on how
you perceive your challenge.
BELIEVE/HAVE FAITH
The Israelites did not believe that they could kill Goliath
and that made them lose before the battle began. If you have no faith in what
you are pursuing, you will fail terribly. Faith is the absence of fear, and you
must exercise faith to win.
REMEMBER YOUR PAST VICTORIES
There must be something that you fought spiritually and won.
There must have been something that was about to kill you but instead made you
stronger. The fact that you were able to win before means that you can do it
again. David told Saul that the same God who had delivered him from the paws of
the lions and the bears would deliver him from Goliath. That move is an actual
illustration of a winner. Use your testimonies to remind the devil that even
now, regardless of the storm, you will come out victorious.
STOP MAKING EXCUSES
You have played this card for too long, its time you stand
up and fight. God has given you all the strength that you need to face whatever
comes your way. You keep complaining, saying that you are not worthy. "How
will I go into the presence of God, I am not righteous"? Today, you must
know that we all fall short of the Glory of God, it is only by His mercies that
we are alive. Go before God just as you are, remember he loves us uniquely, and
according to each one's uniqueness.
BE COMMITTED
Just like David, exercise commitment. If David listened to
his mockers, those who thought that he was too small to fight the giant, he
would have never fought and won the battle. Whenever you start something,
commit yourself to it until it is accomplished.
Spiritual battles can
easily be won if you know how and under whose authority you are fighting them.
Never underestimate your capabilities, and for sure you will WIN. No battle is
too hard when you have Jesus.
