Title: Opportunity From Problems
Memorize: The wicked flee when no one pursues, But the righteous are bold as a lion. Proverbs 28:1 (Nkjv)
Bible Reading: 1 Samuel 17:24-26 (Nkjv)
[24] And all the men of Israel, when they saw the man, fled from him and were dreadfully afraid
[25] So the men of Israel said, “Have you seen this man who has come up? Surely he has come up to defy Israel; and it shall be that the man who kills him the king will enrich with great riches, will give him his daughter, and give his father’s house exemption from taxes in Israel.”
[26] Then David spoke to the men who stood by him, saying, “What shall be done for the man who kills this Philistine and takes away the reproach from Israel? For who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should defy the armies of the living God?”
Message:
When Goliath came to challenge the Israelitas on the battlefield, he registered himself as a huge terror and took the form of a big problem.
Though he came as a mighty obstacle, he turned into a mighty door of opportunity.
During the global lock-down, many businesses folded up because they couldn’t function without physical customers, however, online businesses thrived because some business owners adapted technology to their businesses.
For them, an unprecedented problem became a profit-making opportunity.
The major thing here is that your perception of a problem determines what you get out of it, whether woes or blessings.
Beloved, a situation will only respond to the way you perceive and address it. David became a national hero and son-in-law to the king because He wasn’t intimidated by Goliath. He aligned with God, and He made him victorious.
Therefore, I charge you today to always have a positive attitude towards situations; never see yourself as a victim because you are victorious through Christ.
Prayer Point:
Father, open my eyes to see the blessings in any challenge I’m faced with right now.
HYMN 7 – JUST AS I AM, WITHOUT ONE PLEA
1. Just as I am, without one plea,
But that Thy blood was shed for me
And that Thou bidst me come to Thee,
Oh Lamb of God I come, I come.
2. Just as I am, and waiting not
To rid my soul of one dark blot
To Thee, whose blood can cleanse each spot
Oh Lamb of God I come, I come.
3. Just as I am though tossed about,
With many a conflict, many a doubt,
Fighting’s and fears within, without,
Oh Lamb of God I come, I come.
4. Just as I am poor, wretched, blind,
Sight, riches, healing of the mind
Yea, all I need, in Thee to find
Oh Lamb of God I come, I come.
