YOU NEED GOD’S PROTECTION AS DAVID (1)

Post date: Jan 18, 2021 12:18:14 AM

Did you know you are in this world for something bigger than just you? God’s plans for you will never be fulfilled with just you in your mind and in your heart. His plans are bigger and better in all aspects of your life, they are more excellent than your plans and dreams and God wants you to be prepared for what Satan is doing and will do to stop you. We know His grace is sufficient, He is with us and He will not leave us in any way to face the battle alone. He did not leave David in any way but David did something when the battle came; He did not leave Job when Satan did attack him but Job did something. This devotion is to prepare you because God is going to open the doors of His grace in the salvation you have received for that purpose in His heart for your life and He does not want you to fail. David did not fail, Job did not fail, and you will not fail.

Irrespective of what Satan will do as he did against David, Daniel, Job, and Moses, or whatever he had taken from you or deprived you of having in this life, you will recover all of them on time to begin enjoying the blessings of the Almighty God as Job did. It was the Lord God who by His power alone protected Job, David, Daniel, and Moses. That same God wants to, is willing to, and is able also to protect you in the battles that will come because of the anointing, the salvation, and His commission on your life. We read this concerning Job; “The Lord blessed the latter part of Job’s life more than the former part. Thereafter, Job had fourteen thousand sheep, six thousand camels, a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand donkeys. And he also had seven sons and three daughters. The first daughter he named Jemimah, the second Keziah, and the third Keren-Happuch. Nowhere in all the land were there found women as beautiful as Job’s daughters, and their father granted them an inheritance along with their brothers. After this, Job lived a hundred and forty years; he saw his children and their children to the fourth generation. And so Job died, an old man and full of years.” Job 42:12, 16-17

Before the anointing of David by Samuel, David was fighting lions and bears; preventing them from killing the sheep under his care; but immediately after the anointing, the battle changed, the field changed, the tactics changed, and the expectation also changed to something else. David was no more fighting to protect the sheep, but fighting to become what God had said, fighting to protect himself from being killed, and fighting to keep hope and faith alive in God and in His words to him. The fight against David now was to completely kill him; take him out of the scene of competition, and contention completely, and to keep him away from ever dreaming to see the manifestation of the power and words of the anointing he had received from God. David was now fighting human beings in high places of power, high position of authority, well equipped with tremendous powers, and well trained to eliminate anyone on their path.

The battle in his life was now taken and championed by Satan using Saul the king, his armed men with weapons, Goliath the champion of the philistine and his armed men as his agents to stop David. The moment God identifies you for something good; the moment He calls you out from the place and position of darkness into His light; the moment He gives you salvation and grace to walk in His righteousness and in His holiness; the moment He opens the doors to fulfill all or any of His promises in your life; the moment He sent His divine and physical help your way; the moment God anoints you to conquer, and to overcome; the moment you stand up to receive the breakthrough He had destined and become prosperous as He decided, that same moment, Satan also steps up his attack against you from all areas in order to stop you, bring you down, take you out, and keep you useless. Satan knows he cannot stop God, so he starts in your personal life and advances to your activities, desires, and plans; that is the reason and where you will need God’s special protection in your life. Look, irrespective of your difficulties, you are important in God’s program, and God wants to make you relevant. For prayers, Click here
