1st Samuel 17: 10-11 – “And the Philistine said, I defy the armies of Israel this day; give me a man, that we may fight together. When Saul and all Israel heard those words of the Philistine, they were dismayed, and greatly afraid” Every man faces Goliath. He taunts, He deceives, He attacks and His mission is to defeat us.
Whatever Goliath you may be facing, His purpose is to destroy your life. As God raises you up and elevates you, there are going to be challenges. One of those challenges is a Goliath challenge. For some of us, Goliath may not be a physical giant, could be a sickness, disability…anything that threat-ens to stop you from becoming who God wants you to be. For some it’s a habit, or a human being at your job stopping you from making progress.
We can’t avoid Goliath; he is necessary to our growth as Christians. Your Goliath may be an addiction, habit, attitude, a job layoff, financial problems, marital problems, illness. Goliath for you maybe bitterness, unsettled matter, problem from the past, difficult moral decision, sexual immorality, alcoholism, unforgiveness etc. You think if you try to quit that habit or fight that problem, your life will change too much; you’re afraid you stand to lose too much if you try to defeat our Goliath,
Immediately David was anointed king, he was thrown into a massive life challenge. The anointing on your life will attract significantly great challenge. Whenever God calls you & anoints you, He exposes you to a challenge. Are you ready?
You will have good success this 2016.
Remain blessed.
Shalom.

Teens TASK Force - Teenagers Actively Serving the King
By Sis Elizabeth Halimat Olunlade
Is serving the Lord important? Peter seems to think so, as he addresses the matter in 1st Peter 4:10-11 “Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering God's grace in its various forms.
If anyone speaks, he should do it as one speaking the very words of God. If anyone serves, he should do it with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory and the power for ever and ever. Amen.
” On the journey towards spirituality and the “perfect relationship with God” many people face obstacles. One of these many obstacles is laziness. Some believers are too lazy to serve, and therefore do not receive the benefits and blessings that many who put effort into their belief do. They wonder why their lives are not going on as planned, because they are doing just enough to stay on good terms with God.
However, God does not want us to do “just enough” He wants us to go out of our way and serve Him with a joyful heart. The above verses and many others tell us that we receive our gifts from God to serve others and bring Glory to Him. Serving is definitely not about us receiving glory or attention; it is for God to receive the glory. Amen.
You will have good success this 2016.
Remain blessed.
Shalom.

Knowing that You're Royalty
By Bro 'Sumbo Adefila
Many contemporary Bible believing Christians sometimes doubt their heavenly royal status. But the Bible tells us in Romans 8:37 “Now if we are children, then we are heirs-heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ. If indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share with his glory”.
It means that as Christ is King and reigns, so also shall we be made Kings and we will reign forever with Christ. Imagine what it means to be a king; remember all the responsibilities that Kings shoulder, all the respect they command, the pleasures they enjoy, and the treasures they own.
Most important of all, Kings are Judges of their domain and are the decision makers Psalm 2:10 “Now therefore, O kings, show discernment, take warning, O judges of the earth”. Therefore, we as Bible Believing Christians need to start to own our responsibilities and realize our royal status.
It is time for us to believe that we are more than conquers, that we are the most important elements in this earth and we have dominion over it. Romans 8:38-39 says _ “For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present not the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus Our Lord”.
Have you being suffering from inferiority, unawareness of mind, or lack of courage? Remember 1 Peter 2:9 “But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation…” Brothers and Sisters, prepare yourself because a date has been set for your coronation. You will surely possess your possessions in Jesus name.
You will have good success this 2016.
Remain blessed.
Shalom.

The Coronation of King David
By Pastor 'Deji Adewale
After God removed Saul “He raised up David to be their king, of whom He testified and said, ‘I have found in David the son of Jesse a man after my heart, who will do all my will” - Acts 13:22. God had said the same in 1st Sam. 13:14; God told Saul through Samuel that “the LORD has sought out a man after his own heart and appointed him ruler of his people, because you (Saul) have not kept the LORD’s command” .
So Samuel the priest went to the town of Bethlehem and visited a man called Jesse and his family. He asked to see Jesse’s sons, and one by one they all came in to stand in front of him. First of all the oldest son, Eliab, came in. He was tall and strong and good-looking, and Samuel thought to himself, “This has to be the one God has chosen!”
But, God said to Samuel, No. “Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the LORD seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the LORD looketh on the heart”
So the next son came in, and Samuel said, “This isn’t the one God wants either.” All seven sons passed and Samuel didn’t choose any of them. Then there were no more.
So Samuel was a little bit puzzled. And Samuel said unto Jesse, Are here all thy children? And he said, There remaineth yet the youngest, and, behold, he keepeth the sheep. And Samuel said unto Jesse, Send and fetch him: for we will not sit down till he come hither. Soon David arrived; he was young, ruddy, strong and good looking, and God said to Samuel,
“And the LORD said, Arise, anoint him: for this is he, king of Israel”
