TOPIC: THE LORD WILL DELIVER ME 2
TEXT: 1 Samuel 17:42-50
                       
 Today, by His grace, we will continue from where we stopped yesterday. Having believed strongly that the Lord our God is able to deliver us from the hands of the terrible enemies (Philistine) of our souls. It is highly important for us to take a look at some certain things.
 In verse 42 of our text "And when the Philistine looked about, and saw David, he disdained him: for he was but a youth, and ruddy, and of a fair countenance".
The Philistine belittled the young man, David. He has forgotten That He that lives in David is greater than what he was seeing in the physical. In fact, our God specialises in using the foolish things of this world to confound the wise men (1 Cor. 1:27-28), he disdained David and thought that he could not fight him and prevail, seeing fully that he didnt come to confront him with lots of weapons or armoury (Eph. 6:10-18), he never knew that David came with his spiritual armour (which is more effective than the physical ones) so he couldn't see it with his physical eyes. David went to the Battle Field with with weapons of war (Eph.6).  
  I care less of the threat of the enemy to you, you need to rise up and fight him swiftly just like David did. David quickly told the Philistine how big his own God is and how He will wrought great deliverance for him. Briefly look at It, "David said  to the Philistine, 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". David simply went to the battlefield with the name of the Lord alone and his faith in what his God Can do (Ps. 20:5,7).          
 For our victory is in the name of the Lord our God. You need to also say this to your enemies; "This day will the LORD deliver thee into mine hand; and I will smite thee, and take thine head from thee; and I will give the carcases of the host of the Philistines this day unto the fowls of the air, and to the wild beasts of the earth; that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel". You see, God will do this just to honour His name in your life (Exo. 14:13-14). That the whole earth may know that our God is really Great and awesome (1 Sam 17:46-47). 
         
Again, in verse 48 "And it came to pass, when the Philistine arose, and came and drew nigh to meet David, that David hasted, and ran toward the army to meet the Philistine. Also in verse 49, "And David put his hand in his bag, and took thence a stone, and slang it, and smote the Philistine in his forehead, that the stone sunk into his forehead; and he fell upon his face to the earth". Beloved, the enemy of your soul has gone too far in threatening you and then in launching attack against you. But, not to fear. Instead of running back in fear from the presence of your enemy; Rise up, face your enemy and launch your attack against him.  David simply dipped his hands into his shepherd bag and brought out five smooth stones, not even sharp ones. But it was with this five stones He prevailed over the Philistine.
 These five stones represent the name of JESUS which symbolises GRACE.
He didnt even use all the stones but one Just completed the task.                  
Vs. 50 says, "So David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and with a stone, and smote the Philistine, and slew him; but there was no sword in the hand of David". Beloved, I need to remind you that you cannot overcome life's challenges or problems with your expertise, head knowledge or physical strength. Your victory is embedded in the unfailing name of the Lord Jesus Christ (Phil. 2:9-11).           
 I challenge you today to rise up against your problems with the Word of the Lord; entering into the battlefield in the name of the Lord. Then your victory is certain (Acts 2:21). Happy Sunday!

Personal Confession: I overcome all my  problems in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ from henceforth in Jesus' name.
