YOU ARE ABLE – PART 3
Dear Friend,
We have in the past weeks looked at the life of David and Caleb. These are men who did not allow people’s perception deter them from accomplishing great things. They were able men who achieved their aims and they did so by first speaking it. Let’s delve deeper, shall we?
In the book of 1 Samuel 17, there is an account of the Israelites’ encounter with a philistine The whole of Israel saw Goliath as a giant but David saw him as an uncircumcised philistine who he could defeat; He (David) being a covenant child of God and Goliath, not. He told the giant that he would cut off his head and feed it to the birds of the air and did just that. So, what do you do to your defeated enemy? Cut off his head! Friend, you are able; if you say or name it, it won’t be long before you claim it.
This is the reason I urge you to boldly believe for whatever you ask for in prayer—believe that you have received it and it will be yours. Mark 11:24
In Numbers 13, 10 men saw the promised land as fortified and large, a land which devours those living in it and the people who lived there, powerful but Caleb saw it and said “Let us go up at once and take possession, for we are well able to overcome it ” Did he possess the land? Of course he did! So, what do you do after you’ve conquered your land of promise? Name it Hebron! If you confess or profess it long enough, you will possess it.
I prayed for this child, and the Lord has granted me what I asked of him. 1 Samuel 1:27
You are to take possession of the land and settle in it, for I have given you the land to possess. Numbers 33:53
How do you see your current situation? What makes you think that you are incapable of overcoming? You are able, all you need to
do is challenge the giant. David killed Goliath, jumped on him and took off his head; Caleb took the hill country and named it Hebron, what will you?
Hebron in the Hebrew means association, in other words fellowship. It was this same place that David was crowned king. Friend, I don’t know what has raised its long neck to break up your relationship with God, I really don’t know that thing which by inference is mocking God but I want you to know they’ll be destroyed, those giants occupying your land of promise will be dislodged. You will not move farther from God. You’ll only come closer. You will win for you are able.
David conquered Goliath, took his head and brought it to Jerusalem, Caleb got his inheritance and the land had rest from war. Today, as you step out in faith to possess your possession, I declare that you will have rest, you will struggle no more, you will no longer be intimidated but you will claim what you’ve named and indeed possess the things you’ve confessed. Halleluiah!
