As a Christian, understanding the rights and power God has given you is very important for you to live a successful, prosperous and victorious life. The story of David and Goliath is going to reveal who you really are as a Christian. Mind you, the Bible is a book of perfection, so when it calls a man a giant, then that man is really huge. This is how the Bible describes Goliath 1 Samuel 17:4-7 ‘'And there went out a champion out of the camp of the Philistines, named Goliath, of Gath, whose height was six cubits and a span. And he had a helmet of brass upon his head, and he was armed with a coat of mail; and the weight of the coat was five thousand shekels of brass. And he had greaves of brass upon his legs, and a target of brass between his shoulders. And the staff of his spear was like a weaver's beam; and his spear's head weighed six hundred shekels of iron: and one bearing a shield went before him.''

Goliath being that huge signifies the biggest problem or temptation that you can face as a Christian. And the fact that no one from Israel stood up against him, signifies that the problem might seem to be without hope. Now this is where I want to draw your attention to, despite Goliath had all the qualities of a perfect soldier (a really tough problem), God decided to use David to defeat him. This has a huge significance to us as Christians.

David was young, this refers to new Christians, weak, refers to Christians that have little faith and he was a shepherd boy, this refers to Christians who are not very rich and have a simple life. The weapons he used to defeat Goliath also have some significance to your life as a Christian. The catapult is simple, any one can make and have one, this refers to the Word of God, every Christian has been given the power to read and understand the Bible. The stone is common, can be found every where, this still refers to the Bible, you can easy get a Bible even if you have no money.

Now, what does all these mean to you as a Christian? It doesn't matter if you are a new Christian or your faith is weak. When faced with a problem, no matter how hopeless it may seem, the weapon you need is already by you. And it is easy to get and relatively easy to read and understand. Furthermore, every Christian has been given the power of attorney to use the name of Jesus. As Christians, this is the weapon of our warfare and our hope in God. For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds.

The New Life In Christ!
