David Verses Goliath - The Boldness of David


David was just a small-built 17 years old boy when he fought the giant Goliath. He was bold because the Spirit of God was with him and he told King Saul in 1 Samuel 17:37, “The LORD who delivered me from the paw of the lion and the paw of the bear will deliver me from the hand of this Philistine.”

Facing Goliath, he told him, “You come against me with sword and spear and javelin, but I come against you in the name of the LORD Almighty, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied” (1 Samuel 17:45). “Reaching into his bag and taking out a stone, he slung it and struck the Philistine on the forehead. The stone sank into his forehead, and he fell facedown on the ground” (1 Samuel 17:49). It was the Spirit-guided stone that struck Goliath, threw and immobile Goliath to the ground. Then David cut off Goliath’s head.

In our meetings, we had witnessed aggression when a pastor led a group of pastors and leaders stormed in our sanctuary to disrupt our peaceful meeting. In a neighbouring country, our sanctuary was surrounded with thugs. Mediums attended our meetings. Once, a man possessed by a uncleaned violent spirit charged at me three times. As he came near, the fire of God surrounding me threw him to the floor. We are bold only when we could see in the Spirit that God is fighting the battles for us.

Elisha’s servant was afraid when the enemies with horses and chariots surrounded the city. Elisha prayed for the Lord to open his servant’s eyes, and he looked and saw the hills full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha (2 Kings 6:16-17).

People are afraid of what they could not see or understand.  As disciples, we need to be full of the Spirit so that we could live, walk and see in the Spirit. This requires a close intimacy with our Lord Jesus Christ! 

To God be the power and glory for ever and ever. Amen!

God bless you!
