It’s not yet over

“David prevailed over the Philistine with just the sling and the stone. He struck down the Philistine and killed him. David did not even have a sword in his hand.” — 1 Samuel 17:45-50

As we are about to end the year 2023, you may be looking at your resolution­s to see what has come to pass and what has not.

These days I hear a lot of people saying it is pointless to pen resolution­s as years come and pass without having any of them accomplish­ed.

But between now and December 31, a lot can happen. To you, this year might have been a “Goliath”, mocking you in different ways. However, behold, by faith, “Goliath” will be a thing of the past.

Just like the Israelites for 40 days, Goliath challenged them to fight, but no one had the courage to face him until David came through in the name of the Lord.

In our lives, we face “Goliath” too. The Goliath we face can be in the form of temptation­s, trials and tribulatio­ns.

The Goliath can also be in the form of challenges at work and at home (in families), health issues — illnesses (mental or physical) and financial hurdles.

You may face enemies of your destiny, but God will fight them. The battle is not yours but the Lord’s.

If we put our faith in God, “Goliath” will be dealt with by a small “David”, who is fully backed by the God of Heaven.

He who is in you is greater than the one in the world. Victory is certain; we are more than conquerors through Christ Jesus.

I declare victory over you in the name of Jesus! Between now and December 31, a lot will happen.
