Faith Language –Your Password To Victory

David said moreover, The LORD that delivered me out of the paw of the lion, and out of the paw of the bear, he will deliver me out of the hand of this Philistine. And Saul said unto David, Go, and the LORD be with thee. – 1 Samuel 17:37. THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Faith declares the outcome in the midst of battle.

In the Book of first Samuel chapter seventeen, the Philistines engaged the Israelites in battle. The Israelites, under the leadership of King Saul, could not confront their enemies because they were afraid particularly of a giant called Goliath who came out to challenge and insult them for forty days. But the story changed when David, a faith-loaded stripling came to the scene. He confronted and conquered Goliath by the power of faith. David was a man who faced danger, pressure and confrontations on every side, and yet was not ‘killable’. That is to say, there is nothing that can stand before the power of faith. For a man of faith, every challenge is an opportunity for a change. This is because there is no obstacle or danger that faith cannot tackle.
With faith, David was able to declare the outcome of his battle with Goliath from the beginning. In 1 Samuel 17:46 when he confronted Goliath, he declared, ‘This day will the Lord deliver thee into mine hand; and I will smite thee, and take thine head from thee; and I will give the carcases of the host of the Philistines this day unto the fowls of the air, and to the wild beasts of the earth; that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel.’ The fact is, if faith was absent in the life of David, he would have been a chicken for Goliath. Faith, therefore, declares the outcome of the battle in the midst of battle. Faith declares the end from the beginning. Faith is telling the end of the story when it has not yet happened. Faith celebrates victory before it arrives. Faith rejoices in triumph in the midst of trial. This is to confirm your belief in God in the midst of the trial.
Beloved, your language determines your outcome. Like David above, determine to make faith-based positive declaration in the face of any challenging situation. I don’t know what you may be facing today, if you can deploy the weapon of faith, you will see that the devil is only a loser. The just shall live by faith (Rom. 1:17). Therefore, let your faith declare the outcome of your battle, and victory shall be yours, in Jesus’ Name.

ASSIGNMENT (S):
1. Ensure that you release positive and Word-based declaration always. 2. Never allow the battles of life to close your mouth.

PRAYER: Lord, I have seen Your miracles in time past, and by that same Power, I command the battles of my life to cease, in Jesus Name.
