FIRE SCRIPTURE: 1 Samuel 17:32-37 (KJV)
32 And David said to Saul, Let no man’s heart fail because of him; thy servant will go and fight with this Philistine.
33 And Saul said to David, Thou art not able to go against this Philistine to fight with him: for thou art but a youth, and he a man of war from his youth.
34 And David said unto Saul, Thy servant kept his father’s sheep, and there came a lion, and a bear, and took a lamb out of the flock:
35 And I went out after him, and smote him, and delivered it out of his mouth: and when he arose against me, I caught him by his beard, and smote him, and slew him.
36 Thy servant slew both the lion and the bear: and this uncircumcised Philistine shall be as one of them, seeing he hath defied the armies of the living God.
37 David said moreover, The Lord that delivered me out of the paw of the lion, and out of the paw of the bear, he will deliver me out of the hand of this Philistine. And Saul said unto David, Go, and the Lord be with thee.

MFM Devotional For Today 2023 MESSAGE:
David was the last born in his family and was put in charge of his father’s sheep. He led them out, brought them in and protected them. All this while, no one, including him knew that the Lord was preparing him for a big event in Israel. The victories he got while tendering his father’s sheep gave him confidence to stand against Goliath. Let it be known that David was a teenager when he brought down the head of Goliath.

I have met a couple of teenagers who are about to enter into the university but they have no clue what they want to be in life. They cannot express themselves wisely and have no preparation for the next stage of their lives. This is not right. Unfortunately, there are also some elders in this same boat! No one jumps into any place and succeeds, you must prepare or you fail. You cannot just stroll into the examination hall without adequate preparation. That is inviting failure before taking the examination.
There are powers that hinder people from entering their next level, particularly the breakthroughs that will announce them. These powers do not care about your age. As long as you are determined to be the first that will make a great achievement or you desire to continue in the trend of great things, they will rage against you.
God used the lion and the bear to prepare David for Goliath. God used the king’s portion to prepare Daniel for all the challenges he would meet in Babylon. God used the shepherding the flock to prepare Moses as a deliverer of God’s people.
Do not shy away from the battles and challenges in your life right now? Confront and conquer them. They are there to prepare you for greater responsibilities and greater glory. Become God’s battle axe today. Your goliath might be that exam, that unfriendly friend, that addiction, bad habit or weakness that keep hindering you and making you feel guilty. Arise today and go into that battle in the name of the Lord and conquer. Prepare to win or delay and lose. It is up to you.
