READ: PSALM 27:1-3
When you
come to grips with the authority and the power which reside in the name of
Jesus, you will discover what it means to become a divine champion. Jesus
Christ is the Lord of hosts. A Divine champion knows the value of the Name of
Jesus Christ. When a Divine champion goes to battle, he goes in the name of
Jesus Christ. When David told Goliath that he had come to him in the Name of
Jesus Christ, several things were implied. The first implication is that he was
telling Goliath that Jesus Christ was his strength. You need strength to fight.
David drew his strength from God. Every Divine champion acknowledges Jesus
Christ as his strength. In Philippians 4:13, the Bible says: “I can
do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” Ephesians 6:10 says:
“Finally,
my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might.” John
15:5 says: “I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him,
bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing.” In case you do
not know that it is in Christ alone that your strength lies, all you need to do
is to ask Samson. Judges 16:18-20 informs us that after the link between Samson
and the Lord was cut off, he rose up, to go out as before. He, however,
suddenly discovered that he had become an ordinary man. What makes a Divine
champion is the strength given by the Lord. The Lord will be strength. David,
the Psalmist, stated that the Lord was his confidence. David wrote in Psalm
27:1, “The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? “ A
Divine champion has confidence in the Lord. He knows that when he sleeps there
is Someone, who neither sleeps nor slumbers, who would swing into action. If
you have not been sleeping well, it means you are not yet a Divine champion.
You will become one in Jesus Name.
MEMORIZE:
PHILIPPIANS 4:13 –I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
