All that David needed to confirm the promises of God upon his life, to kill the lion and bear that came up against the family sheep in the field and to kill Goliath who stood up against Israel was courage, five stones and a sling. He told King Saul clearly, he did not want anything from him and from his army, but the opportunity to confront Goliath openly who had been insulting the Almighty God and standing to prevent Israel’s testimonies and praise to the living God. He gave King Saul this bold testimony and an assurance of what will happen if given the opportunity he needed. “Your servant killed both the lion and the bear; and this uncircumcised Philistine shall be like one of them, for he has defied the armies of the living God.” 1 Samuel 17:36. Through salvation in Christ Jesus, you have the stone and the sling to do great exploits, but what you now need is the little more courage to begin doing the right things and the faith to continue in them till you begin achieving the success and freedom promised you by God.

There is nothing wrong with your dreams, nothing wrong with your desires, nothing wrong with you prayers and there is nothing wrong seeking better ways to live your life. With courage, you will definitely do exploits, you will surely kill Goliath, you will truly overcome huddles, you will honestly defeat the enemy, you will sincerely stand upright, you will make great progress and you will joyfully confirm the promises of God upon your life. There is nothing as good as Christians having good desires for all round excellence and seeking to maintain same through faith, prayers and dedication to the Almighty God. There is nothing as good as Christians having good ethics in relationships, in services to God, to man and in every place and organization that God will enable them to be; Christians should desire success and should seek to remain pure and actively positive in good things.
Many are doing what is absolutely right and many are doing what is absolutely wrong; many are fasting and praying fervently daily, studying all books to discover new things that will make their living more meaningful and rewarding; many are seeking ways of living actively well and being physically and spiritually productive. Many are inventing new things and new ways, but despite all the new things and new ways, many are still not satisfied with themselves and many cannot achieve their dreams and desires, and many are more frustrated and angry with themselves daily. Many are asking God daily, asking people everywhere, researching books and materials, asking questions to know what it will take to advance beyond where they are; beyond what we are doing and have good success. It takes courage; God is willing to help you. For prayers, Click here
