Only You


It took only one man to put Israel at peace. He was given pride (1 Samuel 17: 38) but he did not accept it because he was not used it (see verse 39). He came out to be himself and not someone else. He understood that being like the king would mean less of his faith and more of the heavy amour of war to protect him.

David was just a boy and he knew nothing about fighting or whatsoever. He just had his faith in God stable. That was David's amour. It was David's greatest weapon to defeat the giant and freeing his people from the giant's daily threats.

Wow! This 'boy’, who later became a king, had what we call the Supernatural faith. The kind of faith that goes beyond possibilities and expectations. What happened in the slaying of Goliath was supernatural.

“Saul replied, “You are not able to go out against this Philistine and fight him; you are only a boy and he has been a fighting man from his youth.” ” 1 Samuel 17:33. Not only did his brother Eliab lacked trust in him but King Saul did not believe in him also.

No one might believe in you right now because you are a junior. But hey, who cares if they do?

Unleash that supernatural faith that's inside of you and remove the pride given to you. Just be you because there's no better warrior that you.

Stay Blessed!

His Love


“But I trust in your unfailing love; my heart rejoices in your salvation.” Psalm 13:5


This is a very simple bible passage but I found something very profound from it. Let’s look at the first part – “I trust in your unfailing love”.  David trusted in God’s unfailing love because He understood what it is capable of.

Trusting God is being sure that His love will compel Him to take care of you; His love will provide for you. It is trusting that even in the current situation that gives you sleepless nights; God’s love has allowed you to pass THROUGH it and not for you to LIVE in it.

As a result, those who doubt His love, they never pass through situations but they remain in situations.

Try understanding what God’s love is and see what His love has compelled Him to do for you. God allowed Jesus to be crucified so he can be glorified in resurrection; that is why Jesus did not remain with the dead. That’s how great His love is.

Let’s seek God’s understanding of His love so like David, we can be able to TRUST in His unfailing love.

Stay blessed!
