DIVINE
VICTORY – (Open Heavens daily for teenagers 2016)

Please
Read: 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.
