God raised David at a time that Goliath had
inflicted terrible damages in the national army of Israel. Through the use of
words, the strife of tongues, words that intimidate to terrify and immobilize
coupled with a terrifying stature, Goliath succeeded in bringing a very heavily
mobilized army to inaction. He used fear
encoded in his choice of words to immobilize the army of God. For forty days
and forty nights, the national army of Israel experienced unnecessary terror,
humiliation at the hands of Goliath until David heard those words. The Spirit
of God in David moved David to challenge the opposition and intimidation.
Significantly, it was a battle of words as both Goliath and David used words.
But David used words anointed by God (where the word of a King is, there is
power). As David released the words by the Spirit of God, the power of God
accompanied the words and in no time, Goliath in spite of his intimidating
physical stature, military expertise, experience and prowess was brought down
by David.
Esther was a very young woman when she was suddenly
tasked with the responsibility of interceding for the safety of the Jews. Haman
had passed a death sentence on the Jews and going by the irreversible laws of
the Persians and the Medes, Esther’s task was a tall dream. But Esther went to
God and God used her tremendously. Though the laws were not reversed, Haman was
killed, the Jews were empowered with a new set of laws to fight back and fight
back they did and killed all their enemies. Also, Mordecai, a gateman whom
Haman thought was beneath him to kill alone and therefore decided to kill all
the Jews became the number two man in the kingdom. Beloved, the Jewish nation
was spared and healed of the satanic plot to eliminate the Jews through the
Holy Spirit guided actions of Esther.
Joseph was young but talented and God used him
tremendously in healing nations of hunger and famine. Though Joseph was
domiciled in Egypt and ensured food security in Egypt through the wisdom of God
in him, the surrounding nations benefited from the surplus food in Egypt.
The prophet Jeremiah was a young man when he
commenced the ministry assigned him by God. His prophecy concerning the
restoration of Jerusalem was pivotal to the fervent intercession of Daniel for
Jerusalem which eventually culminated in the return to Jerusalem; coupled with
the reconstruction of the Temple in Jerusalem. It is also significant to note
that God gave the returnees unusual favor – they received all that was required
to rebuild the Temple at no cost from Cyrus the King whom God had ordained to
provide for the rebuilding of Jerusalem. What Daniel did through fervent
intercession after reading and understanding Jeremiah’s prophecy concerning the
restoration of Jerusalem is akin to what runners in a relay race do when they
collect the baton from one another to continue and complete the race. Jeremiah
had commenced the race with the prophecy of restoration. Daniel, another young
man full of the Spirit of God took over with fervent intercession for the restoration
to commence. Thereafter, Ezra, another young man and a teaching Priest expert in
the law of God led the people back to Jerusalem and the building of the Temple
commenced.
Young men, young women, God is in need of you for the
healing of the nations. Do what He assigns you so that you can be a channel of
His healing streams in the nations.
