Text : 1st Samuel 17
We all know the meaning of Goliath in the Bible. Biblically, a Goliath is like a stronghold, a warrior, a giant, a strange being which wages war against human destiny. The Biblical Goliath being used by the Philistines to trouble the Israelites is a good example. Read 1st Samuel chapter 17 for more about who is a Goliath.
In this message, we are looking at our greatest Goliath which is the greatest enemy of one’s life that must be put to death immediately.
Fela Anikulapo in his blessed memory sang about the greatest problem of Nigerians which is “Fear”.
In his song, Fela lamented that Nigerians exercise fear too much.
According to him, we fear to fight for freedom, we fear to fight for justice, we fear to fight for liberty, because we do not want to die, forgetting that whether you are hot, cold or lukewarm, you will die one day.
My people, there are many Goliath in this evil world. But your greatest Goliath is: FEAR.. Like Fela rightly said in his song, there is fear within and around us especially in Nigeria.
Today, I want you to rise above thy brethren like what the biblical David did among Israelites to kill the biblical Goliath and became an hero.
I admonish you to kill your greatest enemy which is the fear in you before you can succeed in life.
With that fear in you, you cannot succeed, you cannot get justice, you cannot get freedom, you cannot get liberty, in fact, a man full of fear should forget about achieving anything.
-Kill the fear of the unknown today.
-Kill the fear of failure today.
-Kill the fear of uncertainty today.
-Kill the fear of rejection today.
-Kill the fear of untimely death today.
-Kill the fear of missing out today.
-Kill the fear of trap of the mouth today.
-Kill the fear of disappointment today.
-Kill the fear of getting arrested.
-Kill the fear of leaving that comfort zone.
-Kill the fear of fighting for human right.
-Kill the fear of fighting for good governance.
-Kill the fear of fighting for justice.
-Kill the fear of fighting for liberty.
-Kill the fear of fighting for freedom.
How to kill fear:
-Know your Goliath.
-Know yourself.
-Make Jesus Christ your God.
-Don’t be afraid of anything, if you die, you will die in Christ and inherit Heaven.
To die in Christ is gain ( Philippians 1:21)
- Be ready to fight with the full armoury of the living God, Jesus Christ of Nazareth.
Accept Jesus Christ as your only Lord and Saviour and he will give you divine direction.
The significant Goliath in the Bible fell before the young David because David called on the only living God which he made his only Lord and Saviour.
How do you make God your armoury when you don’t know Him? How can you call upon a God you do not know to fight for you when you don’t know Him?
Salvation has come to you today. This message is another grace giving to you to repent and confess Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour.
Accept Jesus Christ and confess him as your Lord and Saviour today. Do it now and then, you can start to enjoy the benefits of knowing him.
Please repent now…. I just told you!
Say : Lord Jesus, I am sorry for my sin. Forgive me. (confess your sin) I accept you today as my Lord and Saviour, come into my life and remain there forever. Amen.
