FAITH CAPSULE: Is God taking you somewhere?

1Samuel 17

1 John 4:4-6 stated, “You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world. They are of the world. Therefore they speak as of the world, and the world hears them. We are of God. He who knows God hears us; he who is not of God does not hear us. By this we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error.” The key here is, “…He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world…” Indeed, is He in you? In the world of there is giant harassment and there is giant intimidation taking a position to deny or derail destiny. If He is in you, giant of all kinds shall not prevail.
When David was to go and take on Goliath in battle, King Saul clothed David with his armor and all of his war gear. David could not walk from the weight of the gear and requested for all to be removed. He then took up his staff and five smooth stones from the brook along with his slings. He approached Goliath; Goliath disdained him; for he was only a youth, coming to fight him with sticks, 1Samuel 17:43, “So the Philistine said to David, Come to me, and I will give your flesh to the birds of the air and the beasts of the field!” David was not afraid and Goliath’s words and his size was not enough to cause doubt in David’s mind about what the Lord would do. David had a testimony that kept him going forward and not looking backward from the giant task, giant harassment and giant intimidation.
Giant situation took charge while David was on his way to where the Lord God was taking him. Is God taking you somewhere? He has a destination for all of His children just as He did for David. God is taking His children to a divine agenda just like when David responded to a giant situation in 1Samuel 17:45, “David responded, You come to me with a sword, with a spear and with a javelin. But I come to you in the name of the LORD of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defiled.”  David went with a weapon that was greater than the weapons of this world; he went with the Word of God which was in him. Is the Word in you? Is He in you? 1John 4:4 stated, “You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.”  Is He in you? If He is, depend on Him and you will surely overcome your Goliath just as David did.

Prayer for today: Ask for the grace of Word to have a place in you.
