“Then he stood and cried out to the armies of Israel,and said to them, “Why have you come out to line up for battle? Am I not a Philistine, and you the servants of Saul? Choose a man for yourselves, and let him come down to me.” 1 Samuel 17:9.
Don’t allow the challenges you are facing redefine your identity. The first thing Goliath did was to give a wrong identity to the people of Israel. He called them servants of Saul but that is not their true identity. They accepted the lies and since Saul was there and could do nothing, they felt they could not deal with Goliath. They forgot that their true identity is in God. They are the covenant children of God and as a result God had performed miracles in their lives which was more than the challenge from Goliath. For 40days Goliath terrorized them until a man who knew their true identity came to the scene.
“Then David spoke…For who is this uncircumcised Philistine that should defy the ARMIES OF THE LIVING GOD.” 1 Sam 17:26.
Brethren, you are a child of the living God. No matter the challenges before you, the bible tells us that we are more than conquerors.You are not a failure neither are you a weakling. You are no longer under curse, you have been redeemed by the blood of Jesus.As you go through life, remember who you are in God and let that give you boldness to overcome the challenges of life.
Now if you have not given your life to Christ, then you have no identity with Him and the enemy can terrorize you. Repent today, ask Jesus to come into your life so your identity will change and your name will be written in the book of life.
Your day is blessed.
