TOPIC: PRESENT YOUR CV 4: Recount Your Testimony
Memory Verse: Isa. 41:21
“Present your case,” says the LORD. “Bring forth your strong reasons,” says the King of Jacob.”
Bible Reading: 1 Samuel 17:32-36
“32 Then David said to Saul, “Let no man’s heart fail because of him; your servant will go and fight with this Philistine.”
33 And Saul said to David, “You are not able to go against this Philistine to fight with him; for you are a youth, and he a man of war from his youth.”
34 But David said to Saul, “Your servant used to keep his father’s sheep, and when a lion or a bear came and took a lamb out of the flock,
35 I went out after it and struck it, and delivered the lamb from its mouth; and when it arose against me, I caught it by its beard, and struck and killed it.
36 Your servant has killed both lion and bear; and this uncircumcised Philistine will be like one of them, seeing he has defied the armies of the living God.”
Many times when we failure or discouragement sets in, it’s not because we can’t handle the present situation but as a result of not recounting our past testimony. We start and stop because we failed to remember what God has done in the past in our lives. Many situation presenting them selves as bigger, taller and wider but in actual fact, they are not as strong as what we’ve overcame in the past. Remember where you are coming from.
David presented to King Saul his past testimony when He was in doubt of his ability to face Goliath. How he defeated a lion and a bear which attacked the sheep under his care. He convinced King Saul of defeating Goliath and it was so. Sometimes, we need to convince ourselves and others of how the Lord will gave us victory not minding the size of the present situation.
“37 Moreover David Said, “the Lord, Who Delivered Me From The Paw Of The Lion And From The Paw Of The Bear, He Will Deliver Me From The Hand Of This Philistine.” And Saul said to David, “Go, and the LORD be with you!””
David declare that, the same God who gave him victory over the lion and the bear, will surely give him victory over Goliath. What can you testify as your past victory? What are your proofs that the Lord is on your side? Search out those testimonies, let them encourage you. Turn to God and say, “Father, You’ve Done It In Time Past, You Will Do It Again.” Your testimony is your CV to overcome that present Goliath.
