Memorise: Some trust in
chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the LORD our
God. Psalm 20:7

1st Samuel 17:44-50,
44 And the Philistine said to David, Come to me, and I will
give thy flesh unto the fowls of the air, and to the beasts of the field.
45 Then said David to the Philistine, Thou comest to me with
a sword, and with a spear, and with a shield: but I come to thee in the name of
the Lord of
hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom thou hast defied.
46 This day will the Lord deliver thee into mine hand; and I will smite thee, and
take thine head from thee; and I will give the carcases of the host of the
Philistines this day unto the fowls of the air, and to the wild beasts of the
earth; that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel.
47 And all this assembly shall know that the Lord saveth not with sword and spear: for the battle is the Lord's,
and he will give you into our hands.
48 And it came to pass, when the Philistine arose, and came,
and drew nigh to meet David, that David hastened, and ran toward the army to
meet the Philistine.
49 And David put his hand in his bag, and took thence a
stone, and slang it, and smote the Philistine in his forehead, that the stone
sunk into his forehead; and he fell upon his face to the earth.
50 So David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and
with a stone, and smote the Philistine, and slew him; but there was no sword in
the hand of David.

MESSAGE!!!
How
do you explain the victory that King Jehoshaphat
recorded in 2nd
Chronicles 20:15-24? How do you explain confronting the armies of three kings
with an orchestra and yet securing total victory? This victory was a wonder
because it was divinely procured (obtained and secured through a heavenly
source).
Another
classical example of the wonders of divine victory is David. If it is not a
wonder, how else would you describe a tiny boy killing a giant man as if he was
killing a straying lizard on the wall of his father’s house? When the Almighty
God fights on the side of a person, apart from the fact that victory is sure,
the way and manner the victory would be secured will produce wonders. Imagine
an ordinary stone in the hands of the anointed of God fell a giant who a whole
nation dreaded for 40 days. As a matter of fact, it was the sword of Goliath
that eventually severed his head from his body. David believed in his God and
he was not disappointed. The Lord fought on David’s side, and the battle was
decisive.

Father, please fight my
battles for me and don’t let me be a victim of the battles of life.
