Disassemble

DISASSEMBLE< ?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>

1 Samuel 17:50-58

 

The wicked one that God has enabled, you to bring down is yet to be grounded and permanently terminated until it is cut off. David called and anointed by God through the hand of Samuel to become the next king after Saul. His calling was not a confirmation but an indication of where God was taking him to. Having been privileged to bring down the giant, the agent of hindrance on his way to where God wanted to place him, there was a need to permanently terminate the giant. In every victory over an agent of hindrance, there will always be a need for a permanent termination. In the case of David and Goliath, there was a point of permanent termination. 1Samuel 17:51, ÒTherefore David ran and stood over the Philistine, took his word and drew it out of its sheath and killed him, and cut off his head with it. And when the Philistines saw that their champion was dead, they fled.Ó The Philistines knew that their champion was down; they were still waiting for a slight move that would convince them that he could stand again. When David ran over him, stood over him, drew out his sword and cut his head off, they knew that their champion was permanently disassembled. Do not take a turn away from the hindrance that God has brought down on your behalf, do not go into celebration too early. Ask Him to enable you to run over, stand over, and cut off its head for a permanent termination that will disrupt all of his accomplices. God is able enable you and you will disable all that does not glorify His name in your life.

 

Goliath

1Samuel < ?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>17:31-54

 

In getting to the top, to your expected end, where God wants  you, there will be giants on the way to deny you. Just in case you are facing a massive giant on your way, consult with David. He was anointed by God through Samuel but still has to travel through a passage before getting through to GodÕs plan for his life. In DavidÕs confrontation with the giant, nothing or anyone was in place to work for him in bringing down the giant except the testimony of what God has done in his life. When King Saul voiced discouragement he responded with testimony of what God did for him. 1Samuel 17:34, ÒBut David said to Saul, ÔYour servant used to keep his fatherÕs sheep, and when a lion or a bear came and took a lamb out of the flock, I went out after it and delivered the lamb from its mouth; and when it arose against me , I caught it by its beard, and struck and killed it.Ó He also stated in v.37, ÒMoreover David said, ÔThe LORD who delivered me from the paw of the lion and bear, He will deliver me from the hand of this Philistine. And Saul said to David, ÔGo, and the LORD be with you!ÕÓ David also held on to the name of God when he came face to face with the giant. 1Samuel 17:45, ÒThen David said to the Philistines, ÔYou 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.Ó The giant, Mr. Goliath fell for David because of DavidÕs testimony and because David could not keep quiet calling on the name of his God. Have you approached your Goliath yet? Remember what God has done for you and do not stop calling His name. David got to his divine schedule, you will get there.

His Word

HIS WORD< ?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>

Acts 4: 1-13

 

All you need in this world is His word. Acts 4:12, ÒFor the word of God is living and powerful and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.Ó Are you having much time for the word or more time for the world? If you are spending time and doing the word, the word of God will no doubt work for you in this world of wickedness. However, if your time for the world is overtaking your time for the word you have a need for a serious readjustment. It will be impossible for someone that is not answering to the word of God to be expecting the word to answer for him or her. The word of God is true and amen. The word of God cannot fail and will not fail. If you have been failing or you fail by doing only one out of ten of His words the word will not answer. There is always a password to log into an account or file on a computer. When one of the words is missing or incorrect, there will never be a granted assess. Take it to mind that you can make all the noise quoting the word, if you have failed to make the word of God be your coat you will be naked and exposed to the wicked ones of this world. When the word is not sinking in you, your faith will not rise. It is time for you to stop sinking, start to swim in the word of God so that your faith will begin to rise. Let not the power of this world ground you, take cover in the word of God. 

Mind Target

MIND TARGET< ?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>

John 12:42-50

 

If you have heard the word of God and not do what the word says, you have rejected the Lord. If you have not heard the word by virtue of you ignorance or moving in the opposite direction of where you can be located by the word of God you also have rejected the Lord. Hearing the word and not doing what the word says is the same as those that choose not to hear. Jesus mentioned in John 12:48, ÔHe who rejects Me, and does not receive My words, has that which judges him- the word that I have spoken will judge him in the last day.Ó Evidently, going and coming out of the church, hearing the word and not doing what the word says is rejecting and not receiving the Lord.  Are you playing religion? Going to church on a regular basis does not count and it will not count if your life style is outside of the word. You have been long enough inside the church; you have been active more than required; now it is time for you to begin to take account of where you are going in the Lord as days continue to unfold all that the word of God has promised to come to pass. Ask God to deliver you from all the surrounding agents of the wicked that are mind blinding forces. Mind is the target of the wicked and that is why there is a need for constant transformation of the mind to avoid conformity to this world. Romans 12:2, ÒAnd do not be conformed to this world but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.Ó It will take a prayer for you to be awake and alive in the word of God. Ask that the word that you have heard and the ones that you are hearing will begin to manifestation into your life.

Serious Matter

Numbers 20:7-13

Failure not to hallow God is a failure of getting to where He has promised you to posses. Moses, a whole giant in the hand of God, put himself in a hole by not getting out to where God had promised the children of < ?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>Israel. When God commanded Moses to provide water for the children of Israel by speaking to the rock before the eyes of the children of Israel, Moses did not. Numbers 20:7, ÒThen the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, ÔTake the rod; you and your brother Aaron gather the congregation together. Speak to the rock before their eyes, and it will yield its water; thus you shall bring water for them out of the rock, and give drink to the congregation and their animals.Ó It was not a suggestion it was a command and wherever you disobey His command you have also failed to hallow and honor His name. Moses went and did what was right to him not what God wanted him to do. Numbers 20:11, ÒThen Moses lifted his hand and struck the rock twice with his rod; and water came out abundantly, and the congregation and their animals drank.Ó Moses failed to hallow God by not following GodÕs command. Numbers 20:12, ÒThen the LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron, ÔBecause you did not believe Me, to hallow Me in the eyes of the children of Israel, therefore you shall not bring this assembly into the Land which I have given them.ÕÕ The Lord already gave the land before getting to the land, yet Moses could only see but was not able to cross over. Despite all he had done, his failure to hallow the name of God disallowed him from the promise land. Disobeying the LordÕs command is a serious matter, take His name very serious and He will take you to where He has for you.
