TOPIC: THE VICTORY MINDSET OF DAVID
SCRIPTURE: 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?
1 Samuel 17:26.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: When you win in your mind, you must surely win in life; but when you lose in your mind, you will surely lose in life.
It has been established that your mentality determines your reality.
When you win in your mind, you must surely win in life; but when you lose in your mind, you will surely lose in life. Battles are lost or won first in the mind.
The story of David demonstrates the importance of the mind in the battles of life. David was someone who won the battles of his life from his mind.
In 1 Samuel 17, there was a time the Israelites and the Philistines were gathered for a battle. King Saul was the leader of Israel while Goliath was the front man for the philistines. Goliath came out to confront the children of Israel. He boasted to the children of Israel for forty days to bring out a man who could fight him, but there was no one to fight him.
Whenever Goliath came up and threatened, all Israel became afraid and ran into their camp.
However, David was sent by his father, Jesse, to ask after the welfare of his elder brothers in the battle ground, and then he heard Goliath boasting and threatening Israel.
1 Samuel 17:26 says:
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?
You see, all the Israelites saw Goliath as too big to fight, but David saw him as too big to miss. They all saw Goliath as an adversary who was too big to confront, but David saw Goliath as an opportunity too big to miss. That was how David went after Goliath.
David said to Goliath, “Come to me, and I will take your head from you. By the time I finish with you, I will use your own knife to cut off your head.” Remember that he had no knife in his hand when he made this statement; he was eyeing Goliath’s knife.
Beloved, what you do not see coming will never come. If you want to seize it, you must see it. David saw the victory ahead of time. He saw victory in his mind and he got victory in real life.
REMEMBER THIS: When you win in your mind, you must surely win in life; but when you lose in your mind, you will surely lose in life.
