SAME GOD1 Samuel 17:25-49< ?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>

Life is full of ups and downs with challenges left and right. The journey of everyday life will always encounter every representative of giants from every direction whether you like it or you dislike it. The purpose of giants is to stop you from getting to your divine location; to kill, steal and destroy. Why not pray the prayer of David? David was in the direction of becoming what the Lord had anointed him to be while the giant was also in place to deny him from getting to where God had called him to be. David refused to take on any form of weapon from the world to use against Goliath. David considered the weapons before him as burdensome. They were too heavy and they could have slowed him down or aided in making him a victim. As a result, David took with him the heavenly weapons to confront the giant of hindrance and termination. ÒThen David said to the Philistines, ÔYou have come to me with a sword, with a spear, and with javelin. But I come to you in the name of the LORD of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defiledÕ Ó (1 Samuel 17:45) As you have been privileged of God to face a new day and week, do not go out or continue from where you are now without lifting up your voice unto the Almighty God.  Speak to the giant and let him know that you have come to deal with him in the name of the Lord of hosts: the God of the armies of Israel. Confronting any agent of the wicked and destruction such as Goliath, does not require you to go outside of the name of the living God. Call on His name in just the same manner as David did. In your calling, speak by declaring what you want to see become of the confronting giant. After David had called on the name of God, he went further and declared the kind of day he had wanted for the giant (Goliath) by saying, ÒThis day the LORD will deliver you into my hand, and I will strike you and take your head from you. And this day I will give the carcasses of the camp of the Philistines to the birds of the air and the wild beasts of the earth, that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel.Ó (1 Samuel 17:46) The same God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob is still alive and active today. He is still in the business of answering prayer if you will believe and commit all unto Him in prayer. Jehovah God will be moved and fight your battle. Know that it is well for you because the battle is not yours; it is for the Lord to fight on your behalf.
