DRESS CODE< ?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>1 Samuel 17

The journey of life is a battleground, it is full of ups and downs and how you choose to fight your battle daily will determine how the journey goes for you. In the journey of life you do not know when, where, how and who the next Goliath will be. . In the journey of life you fight and progress or you fail to fight and be defeated. As long as your desire is getting to the end, battle is inevitable.  By the grace of God, if you have placed your journey under the canopy of God, then you will have to pay attention of the type of weapon that will be needed in carrying you through. David a shepherd boy encountered his day of breakthrough one day when he rose early in the morning. Jesse, the father of David, sent him to the battlefield to go and check their well being. ÒSo David rose early in the morning, left the sheep with a keeper, and took the things and went as Jesse had commanded him. And he came to the camp as the army was going out to the fight and shouting for the battle.Ó (1 Samuel 17:20) There was no indication or sign that David would become an agent of deliverance for the whole nation that day. Can you tell what the day has in store for you? It was that same day the David killed Goliath, that his story became an everlasting testimony for the glory of God. You can be ready for God to move on your behalf if you will take to your dress code. DavidÕs exploit on the day of early rising was rooted in his dress code. When he decided to count on God and go against Goliath there was every opposition to deny him from going against Goliath. Among the oppositions was the attempt to have his dress code changed. Your dress code is your identity, it is your limitation and it does not mean your weakness neither does it suggest a sign of failure. When you change your dress code you will enter into deception and an attempt to answer what you are not called to do will loom high on you. King Saul offered to change DavidÕs dressÕ code, ÒSo Saul clothed David with his armor, and he put a bronze helmet on his head; he also clothed him with a coat of mail. 39 David fastened his sword to his armor and tried to walk, for he had not tested them. And David said to Saul, ÒI cannot walk with these, for I have not tested them. So David took them off.ÓÓ(1 Samuel 17:38-39) When you dress wrongly you will be wrong in all areas. Your dress code is your identity and you will not be mistaken for more where you are less and where you are less provision will be available for your increase. With your dress code you will not be weary or faint when you walk or run and your identity will not put the wrong weapon in your hand. Your dress code is telling God what you are  and that will commit God on your behalf. Thank God that David refused to accept a change of his dress code on his day of breakthrough. God will not fail you and do not fail yourself.
