LORD, THIS GOLIATH MUST FALL

Post date: Apr 11, 2014 4:02:24 AM

There are several things challenging people around the world, things that are good and things that are bad, things that seek to promote godly character, excellence and strength, and things that seek to bring shame and weakness; there are things that had been old, long overdue and things just coming up new. Many challenges causes delays, anger, discouragement, frustrations, severe pains and makes us loss focus on things that are excellent and rewarding; there are challenges that we have tried to overcome with all our might and yet it seems we have not done anything about them every day. Irrespective of the challenges, though they may persist, our God is definitely not silent about them; He is making a way of escape for you even in them. 

Many believing Christians around the world are daily being challenged and uncomfortably taunted by things they cannot even image will come to them, things they never planned, things that are uncommon in their immediate family and within their profession, things they cannot give a good reason of its origin in their lives. Things they had never dream for and desired, they are taunted by spiritual and physical mountains at home, at work, with children, in their marriages, and in their finances in every location they find themselves.

Many Christian’s thoughts had been badly troubled and their countenance distorted by these kind of challenges, many had dropped out of faith, many have kept off following their dreams and God’s plans for their lives, and many are just wondering what next will come their way. Many had become afraid of each new day instead of rejoicing, they are afraid to declare who and what they are and what their beliefs are. These challenges had been affecting their dreams, their services in the house of the Lord, the visions of their tomorrow and their actions had been compromised before their God and before men.

It is good to know that your God will never allow the challenges and the situations in your life to go on indefinitely. Besides the salvation of your soul, God's plans for you did include your victory, your deliverance, His daily blessings, your daily protection, your daily joy, your daily well-being and the promotion of your hope and assurance in Him. Though Goliath was big, tall and well equipped for battle, and had many strong followers, though He did taunt the Children of Israel for forty consecutive days, though Saul and the armies of Israel were not courageous enough to confront and defeat him, the Almighty God was not weak, He had a plan that He was about to execute. Your Goliath will definitely fall because God plans for you will never be hindered

“Now the Philistines gathered their armies for battle and were assembled at Socoh, which belongs to Judah, and encamped between Socoh and Azekah in Ephes-dammim. Saul and the men of Israel were encamped in the Valley of Elah and drew up in battle array against the Philistines. And the Philistines stood on a mountain on one side and Israel stood on a mountain on the other side, with the valley between them. And a champion went out of the camp of the Philistines named Goliath of Gath, whose height was almost ten feet. And he had a bronze helmet on his head and wore a coat of mail, and the coat weighed 5,000 shekels of bronze. He had bronze shin armor on his legs and a bronze javelin across his shoulders. And the shaft of his spear was like a weaver’s beam; his spear’s head weighed 600 shekels of iron. And a shield bearer went before him. Goliath stood and shouted to the ranks of Israel, Why have you come out to draw up for battle? Am I not a Philistine, and are you not servants of Saul? Choose a man for yourselves and let him come down to me. If he is able to fight with me and kill me, then we will be your servants; but if I prevail against him and kill him, then you shall be our servants and serve us.” 1 Samuel 17:1-10.
