PHANEROO~DEVOTION 4th March 2016 THE WISDOM OF DAVID I Apostle Grace Lubega

[1 Samuel 17:26]; And David spake to the men that stood by him, saying, What shall be done to the man that killeth this Philistine, and taketh away the reproach from Israel? for who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should defy the armies of the living God?

If you want to grow in ministry and in the anointing, learn something from the life of David. The Bible says that when David heard Goliath challenge the armies of Israel, he was disturbed. The interesting point is that David was disturbed that someone had defied the armies of a man (Saul) from whom the spirit of God had departed (1 samuel 16:14).

He ministered to a man who was troubled in spirit, he played a harp for a man who was disturbed by an evil spirit. When the man’s armies were disturbed by the Philistines, I would have thought that David would stand in a corner and say, “he is judged, the spirit has left him, let him die” but instead, David got on his side.

If David was immature, a spiritual child, he would have assumed that Goliath was contributing to his success. After all, Goliath would have killed them all and since God had anointed David as the next in line, Saul had to die because he had lost the mantle. But David knew and honoured the covenant God had with Israel. At the point of facing the Philistine, the issue was not his master’s weakness, the issue was that the enemy was an uncircumcised man. One would assume David would sit back and watch them die and wait for the throne, but no, David served Saul with the knowledge that though the king was fallen, he was still a circumcised man; that is what he honoured, the covenant.

Learn something child of God, many times Christians contradict the mind of the spirit because they judge carnally the things that are spiritual.

Excerpt from the sermon: DAVID’S DISCOURSE- THE PRICE OF THE ANOINTING by Apostle Grace Lubega

If you want to grow in ministry and in the anointing, learn something from the life of David. At the point of facing the Philistine, the issue was not his master’s weakness, the issue was that the enemy was an uncircumcised man. David served a circumcised man; that is what he honoured, the covenant.
