THE BIGGER THEY ARE, THE EASIER THEY FALL

 

The more the opposition against you the higher your promotion shall be because of the anointing of God's favour upon you.
Good -Life Devotional: THE BIGGER THEY ARE, THE EASIER THEY FALL

By Rev Michael Benson Ajayi
1 Samuel 17: Goliath and David
"All my bones shall say, LORD, who is like unto thee, which deliverest the poor from him that is too strong for him, yea, the poor and the needy from him that spoileth him?" Psalm 35:10 (KJV)
   The story of David and Goliath demonstrates that the size of your enemy does not determine the outcome of your battle. Goliath was a mighty warrior whose physical stature, military experience and intimidating weapons frightened the army of Israel. However, David understood that victory does not depend on human strength but on God's power.
    While Saul and his soldiers saw an unbeatable giant, David saw an opportunity for God to demonstrate His greatness. He declared, "The battle is the LORD'S" (1 Samuel 17:47). David did not measure Goliath against himself; he measured Goliath against the Almighty God.
    In Psalm 35:10, David acknowledged God's ability to deliver the weak from someone stronger than them. Similarly, Deuteronomy 20:4 declares that the Lord goes with His people to fight against their enemies and give them victory. Romans 8:31 reminds us, "If God be for us, who can be against us?"
    Never allow the size of your opposition to intimidate you. Whether it is an oppressive system, powerful adversaries, financial difficulties or seemingly impossible circumstances, remember that no power is greater than God.
REFLECTION: Are you magnifying your problems above God's ability to deliver you? Stop measuring your challenges by your strength. Put your confidence in God, for the battle belongs to Him.
PRAYER: Heavenly Father forgive me of my sins against you I believe Jesus Christ died and was raised again for my salvation I receive him as Lord and saviour and receive the Holy Spirit and power to overcome the spirit of fear. Heavenly Father, strengthen my faith whenever I face intimidating challenges. Deliver me from those who are stronger than me, fight my battles and bring every opposition against Your purpose for my life to its knees, in Jesus' mighty name. Amen.
