MAKING THE MOST OF EVERY OPPORTUNITY (PT 3) 

TEXT: 1 Samuel 17:26-30 (KJV)
²⁶  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?
²⁷  And the people answered him after this manner, saying, So shall it be done to the man that killeth him.
²⁸  And Eliab his eldest brother heard when he spake unto the men; and Eliab's anger was kindled against David, and he said, Why camest thou down hither? and with whom hast thou left those few sheep in the wilderness? I know thy pride, and the naughtiness of thine heart; for thou art come down that thou mightest see the battle.
²⁹  And David said, What have I now done? Is there not a cause?
³⁰  And he turned from him toward another, and spake after the same manner: and the people answered him again after the former manner.

The presence of Goliath in the life of many families, cities and nations has led to the crippling of the potentials of many, but we thank God for the David generation that is bold enough to ask “What shall be done to the man that killeth this Philistine, and taketh away the reproach from Israel?” There may be a Goliath out there but we must also thank God for the David that is out there to make the most of this opportunity to rise to significance. Others in the family or in the office may choose not to confront the Goliath figure around but the man with the David spirit cannot bear such insult. With them, this nonsense must stop. Others may choose to speak behind the back of Goliath but he is not afraid to show his holy anger against the arrogance of Goliath. 
They know that Goliath was already a dead man because he dare open his mouth against the army of the living God. Whatever is harassing the people of God is a Goliath that must be brought down. Whatever is making the army of God to loose courage is the Goliath that must be brought down. Whatever has become a reproach to the testimony of God’s people is the Goliath that must be brought down. Stop accommodating the Goliath around you. Let the David in you rise up and see the glory that will follow the silencing of Goliath. Your destiny is on the other side of the fall of your Goliath, do something about it today
