“How To Come Out A Head”
1st Sam 17:54
Intro: When we see David early in Chap 17, He is a Lowly shepherd boy with a sling. But here in verse 54 he is the hero of Israel, and he is carrying the huge head of Goliath and dragging his armor behind him!
This may seem like a grusom story, but you must realize the mind set of war.
What we see here is that God really helped David come out a head!
Every body these day’s wants to come out ahead, well, lets look at some things that David did to come out ahead!
Many of you today have Goliath’s in your life that you need to kill!
1 – THE FIGHT HE FACED V 4 – 7
This shows us David’s COURAGE
My friend, it may take a fight for you too come out ahead!
We need some people at our church to have some courage.
A – COURAGE TO GO IT ALONE.
Thank God for someone that does not have to go with the crowd! We need the courage to stand alone if necessary!
B – COURAGE TO GO UN – ARMED
He just took what he knew would work!
We don’t need any new way’s too come out ahead!
2 – THE FAITH HE FOUND V 37
This show’s us David COMITMENT.
A – HE WAS COMMITTED TO THE PROMISES OF GOD.
He remembered some of the things that God had done!
The Bible say’s that “Without faith it is impossible to please him.”
The Lord said, “Ye have not because ye ask not”
We wonder why God don’t do this or that and the problem is our faith.
It don’t bother me what the bank account is, where God guides, God provides! WE NEED TO JUST TRUST GOD!
B – COMITMENT TO THE CAUSE
David said “Is there not a cause?”
We need to have faith that God is going to do something in our church and just stay with the cause.
3 – THE FAMILY HE FORTIFIED
This shows us David’s CONCERN
David was concerned for his immediate family and extended family.
A – HE FORTIFIED ISRAEL
When David killed Goliath it was a help to all Israel, I believe every time they got down they would go back and look at that head.
If you will kill your Goliath, it will be a blessing to the whole church.
B – HE FORTIFIED HIS BROTHER’S.
I believe that he and his brothers had a new relation as warriors!
If you will kill that Goliath in your life it will help your whole family.
C – HE FORTIFIED HIMSELF.
David hid the armor in his tent and would go back to it occasionally. It is good to have something to go back to!
