NO CURSE “And the Philistine said unto David, Am I a dog, that thou comest to me with staves? And the Philistine cursed David by his gods.” (1 Samuel 17: 43). That is the Focal Scripture of Streams of Joy Devotional today. One of the steps taken by Goliath was to curse David by his gods. David came to fight on behalf of Israel and defeat the same man who had held Israel to ransom for forty days, and Goliath spoke forth curses in the name of his gods. Goliath invoked the negative powers of the deities he worshipped in order to curse David. He invoked altars of darkness in order to make negative proclamations upon David. He raised curses for David. Friend, hear me as I hear the Lord: every curse of the enemy that has been proclaimed against you, I decree, it will come to nothing. Any curse that the enemy has laid on your destiny, I command it to perish by the fire of God. Any satanic proclamation that has been made against you and yours, I decree that it will come to nothing. Every proclamation or incantation made on any altar against you, I decree, it will not stand. No curse of the enemy will stand in your life. No evil word that is spoken against you will prevail. No evil proclamation made into your space or your future will stand. No evil words spoken to hinder your destiny will stand. No curse of the enemies of your destiny will stand. No enchantment or divination made against you will stand. No curse will stand against you. Notice that David did not sit back to accept the curses of Goliath; he refused them right away. If there be any man that is speaking curses against you, I decree, let their curses backfire on them. Refuse to be a cursed man when the Lord calls you blessed. By the word of the Lord, refuse and nullify every curse spoken against you. Even if you are unaware of the enchantments made against you, use the blood of Jesus to nullify them. Remember, Jesus did not redeem you so that the words of mere mortals can make a mess of your destiny. Refuse the curses of the enemy, and they will not prevail against you. Numbers 23: 23 says: “Surely there is no enchantment against Jacob, neither is there any divination against Israel: according to this time it shall be said of Jacob and of Israel, What hath God wrought!” Declare With Me: No curse of the enemy will prevail over me, in Jesus’ name Amen |

DIVINELY DISTRACTED “And the Philistine said unto David, Am I a dog, that thou comest to me with staves? And the Philistine cursed David by his gods.” (1 Samuel 17: 43) That is the Focal Scripture of Streams of Joy Devotional today. In our Focal Scripture, Goliath queried David for coming towards him with sticks. He saw the sticks in David’s hand, but had no idea that there were stones in the bag. Goliath focused on the sticks that were never going to be used against him, but had no idea of the stones that would eventually be used to bring him down. He was distracted by the sticks, and paid no attention to the stones. Goliath was divinely distracted. Friend, I pray for you: may the Lord distract the enemies of your destiny until you hit your target. May the enemies of your destiny be distracted from your plans until the plans become reality. May the haters of your progress be distracted until you make the progress they hate to see in you. May the opposers of your advancement be distracted from your efforts until your efforts yield the desired results. Goliath was literally taken unawares by David’s stone because he had no idea that it was there in the first place. He lacked information about the stones, and the success of the stones took him unawares. Hear me as I hear the Lord: your ‘stones’ will take men unawares. Your success will come like a bolt out of the blues. Your greatness will shock those who had no idea of God’s plan for you. Your result will take your haters unawares. When men see your sticks and underrate you, don’t bother announcing or explaining your stones to them. The same God that shocked the Philistines through David, with a sling and a stone, will shock the haters and mockers of your destiny with uncommon results that will keep their mouths agape. The same God that caused Goliath to lose sight of David’s stones will cause your ‘Philistines’ to lose sight of your results till they manifest. No man will hijack your results on the way. No evil eye will see and truncate what the Lord has packaged for your life. No Goliath will see the stones that will bring your results. Isaiah 45: 3 says: “And I will give thee the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, that thou mayest know that I, the LORD, which call thee by thy name, am the God of Israel.” Declare With Me: The Goliaths of this world will be distracted from my stones, in Jesus’ name Amen |

BE MORE, APPEAR LESS “And he took his staff in his hand, and chose him five smooth stones out of the brook, and put them in a shepherd's bag which he had, even in a scrip; and his sling was in his hand: and he drew near to the Philistine.” (1 Samuel 17: 40) That is the Focal Scripture of Streams of Joy Devotional today. When David left off the armour of Goliath, he went instead for five smooth stones which he got from the brook, and he put same in his shepherd’s bag. As he approached Goliath, it would have been easy to see the stick in his hands, but not the stones. David hid the stones that would eventually hit down Goliath. He kept under cover the very thing that would eventually bring down Goliath. He had more, but he appeared less. Friend, glean some wisdom: it’s okay to be more, but there is wisdom in appearing less. Don’t announce to your ‘Goliaths’ that you have stones that will bring them down. Don’t break the news of your strategies to everyone that comes your way. Don’t unveil your plans to just anyone you see. Don’t reveal your secrets to the wrong people. Don’t announce your advantage when you are yet to use it. Don’t tell of all that you are. David had stones that Goliath was not aware of, and in the end, it became a surprise element in his victory over Goliath. He hid his advantage until it worked for him. There is wisdom in hiding your advantage until it works for you. There is wisdom in keeping your strategies under lock and key until they pay off. There is wisdom in hiding your plans until they yield the desired results. There is wisdom in keeping mute until you hit your target. Instead of focusing on announcing your ‘stones’, focus on getting more stones. Focus on building more capacity. Focus on deepening your walk with God. Focus on becoming more than you are. Focus on gaining more knowledge and wisdom. Focus on gaining the ideas that will make you more relevant in your generation. Focus on becoming better than you currently are. Focus on the preparations that will help you defeat your ‘Goliath’. David hid his stones, and used same when he needed to. There was no record of him talking about the stones. Stop talking about your stones. Hide them, and unleash them when you have to. Matthew 20: 26-27 says: “26. ...whosoever will be great among you, let him be your minister; 27. And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant:” Declare With Me: I will hide my stones until they are needed, in Jesus’ name Amen |

SAUL’S ARMOUR “And David girded his sword upon his armour, and he assayed to go; for he had not proved it. And David said unto Saul, I cannot go with these; for I have not proved them. And David put them off him.” (1 Samuel 17: 39) That is the Focal Scripture of Streams of Joy Devotional today. In our Focal Scripture, Saul gave David his armour to go and fight with Goliath. Given the fact that Goliath was a giant and Saul was also a very tall fellow, taller than everyone in Israel, Saul’s armour should have been a good idea to fight Goliath with. Saul’s armour should have been a perfect strategy to fight against Goliath. Saul’s armour should have been needed in the bid to defeat Goliath. Notice that the person, who needed to wear that armour of Saul to fight against Goliath, was David. David was simply not as tall as Saul, and it made no sense to wear what he would be unable to fight with. Saul’s armour was like that perfect strategy that just wasn’t needed in that current battle between David and Goliath. It was a unique situation that made Saul’s armour useless. Friend, beware of perfect strategies that are not needed in your current battle. Beware of perfect armour that is not needed as you approach your ‘Goliath’. Beware of the perfect advice that has the capacity to wreck your destiny if you make the mistake of taking it. Beware of the perfect strategies of the Saul’s of this world that didn’t work for them. Beware of the right recommendations that are not applicable in your situation. It would have made sense that anyone who wanted to fight Goliath should have the sort of armour that Saul had, but in the end, David prevailed over Goliath without the help of Saul’s armour. David prevailed without the help of what made sense. Sometimes, that it makes sense does not mean that you need it. That it makes sense does not mean you should take that route. It’s not enough to make sense. Ask God to grant you the wisdom to discern when the armour of Saul is not needed for your victory. Ask God to grant you the courage to do away with the ‘right’ stuff when they are not needed for your victory. Isaiah 30: 21 says: “And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left.” Declare With Me: I have wisdom to discern when ‘Saul’s armour’ is not needed, in Jesus’ name! Amen |

FROM PAIN TO PLEASURE “Thy servant slew both the lion and the bear: and this uncircumcised Philistine shall be as one of them, seeing he hath defied the armies of the living God.” (1 Samuel 17: 36) That is the Focal Scripture of Streams of Joy Devotional today. In describing Goliath, David made reference to the covenant of circumcision. He called Goliath an uncircumcised Philistine. David described Goliath as one who did not go through the process of circumcision. The process of circumcision is one that often leaves a child in pain for several days. So David was simply reminding Goliath that he (David) had gone through a pain that Goliath did not go through. David seemed to infer that by his pain, victory was sure over Goliath. Friend, by reason of every pain you have been through in time past, I decree, your season of victory is here. The pains of the past will usher you into a new season of celebration. The losses of yesterday will open the doors for huge gains today. The opportunities you missed in time past will give way to an abundance of opportunities now. The delays and stagnation of the past will make way for divine speed to hold sway in your life. The pain that David went through in the place of circumcision became a platform for him to enjoy the pleasure of defeating the same Goliath that held the armies of Israel to ransom. The pain of the past became the platform for pleasure. Hear me as I hear the Lord: every pain you faced in time past shall give way to pleasure. For every pain you encountered in time past, receive divine pleasure and divine compensation. For everything that was done to you that broke your heart, there shall be restoration with compensation. For your shame in time past, God will grant you a double portion. For all the years the locust has eaten in your life, the Lord is restoring with huge compensation. For all the misfortunes you have been through, the Lord will flood your life with good fortunes that will cause celebrations and congratulations to erupt on all sides. You will look for whatever caused you pain and you will not find it. Get set for pleasure that will come forth from your pain. Get set for restoration with compensation. 1 Peter 5: 10 says: “But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.” Declare With Me: I receive pleasure for all my pain, in Jesus’ name!

NOT BY SIZE “And Saul said to David, Thou art not able to go against this Philistine to fight with him: for thou art but a youth, and he a man of war from his youth.” (1 Samuel 17: 33) That is the Focal Scripture of Streams of Joy Devotional today. In our Focal Scripture, Saul gave David reasons why he should not make any attempt to fight with Goliath. Saul reminded David of the fact that Goliath had been a man of war from his youthful days. He also reminded David of his own youth. Goliath was made to seem too big to be conquered by anyone, but in the end, David prevailed over him despite not having a sword. Saul focused on how big the challenge was, but David gained victory. Friend, stop looking at the size of your challenges; God says, no matter how big they are, you will prevail. No matter how great your challenges are, you will prevail. No matter how depressing your situation looks, you will prevail. No matter how limited you are in fighting the battles facing you at the moment, you will prevail. No matter how you look unfortunate in the face of your ‘Goliath’, you will prevail. At some point, Goliath was described with so much detail. His armour was also described with frightening details that would deter anybody that wanted to fight him, but David arose and fought the battle and he came out victorious. If you keep paying attention to the enormity of your ‘Goliath’, you just might miss the opportunity to defeat Goliath without a spear and a sword. If you focus on the negative details, you won’t win. David told Saul that he had slain both the lion and the bear, and that Goliath shall be as one of them. He vowed to make Goliath face the same fate that his previous challenges faced. Hear me again: there is nothing too special about the Goliath that has arisen. Make them as one of the previous challenges you already defeated. Defeat your Goliath by seeing it as a regular challenge that can be defeated. The days of paying attention to the negative details of the enemy, are over. Focus on God, and focus on that same power that raised Jesus from the dead. If God be for you, you will defeat your Goliath. Psalm 18: 29 says: “For by thee I have run through a troop; and by my God have I leaped over a wall.” Declare With Me: No matter how big my opposition is, I will win the battle, in Jesus’ name,Amen |
KNOW YOUR REWARD “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?...” (1 Samuel 17: 26) That is the Focal Scripture of Streams of Joy Devotional today. In our Focal Scripture, David began to ask about what would be done for the man that kills Goliath. Others were looking at how scary Goliath was, but David showed up and his question was about the benefit of killing Goliath. David showed up, and he began by looking at the reward he would get if he dared to kill Goliath. David was driven by the expected reward for an exploit he was yet to accomplish. David was driven by expected rewards. Friend, there may be ‘Goliaths’ on your pathway, there may be issues that want to halt your advancement, there may be situations that are forcing you to retreat and stay away from the victories you need to attain, there may be roadblocks that want to make a mess of your zeal and passion to succeed, but today, God says, look at the expected rewards, and press on. Look at the progress you will make, and press on. Don’t allow the distractions on your way to stop you; don’t allow the discouraging voices around you to stop you; don’t allow the odds that are against you to stop you; don’t allow the failures of others to stop you; don’t allow the fear of failure to stop you; don’t allow the fears of other people to stop you; don’t let the difficulty in achieving the desired results to stop you. David knew about the greatness of Goliath, but he was more interested in the benefits of defeating Goliath; and in the end, he defeated Goliath and reaped the benefits. He focused on the benefits, and he didn’t stop until he got the benefits. Did you know that if you paid more attention to the rewards in your mission, you will find more energy in your inner man to press on and hit your targets? Today, look closely at your ‘Goliath’ and see the benefits you would reap if Goliath goes down. Focus on the reward, and you will find the needed drive to defeat every Goliath on your pathway. Hebrews 12: 2 says: “Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.” Declare With Me: I focus on my reward; I am driven by my reward, in Jesus’ name! Amen |
FIGHT YOUR BATTLES “And the men of Israel said ... and it shall be, that the man who killeth him, the king will enrich him with great riches, and will give him his daughter, and make his father's house free in Israel.” (1 Samuel 17: 25) That is the Focal Scripture of Streams of Joy Devotional today. Our Focal Scripture gives an insight into benefits that were to accrue to anyone who succeeded in defeating Goliath. Such a person was to be given the king’s daughter and his family was to be exempted from taxes in Israel. So it was a victory that had implications for others who were not in the battle field. It was a victory that would grant better positioning to whosoever killed Goliath. It was a victory that had family implications. Friend, if you care to check, you would realize that the victories you need to attain have implications for people connected to you. Your success or failure has implications for people around you; your victory or defeat has implications for your next generation; your failure to hit your targets will leave people around you stranded; your failure to defeat your Goliath will cause men to miss a chance to have a better life. Today, arise and fight the battles that are laid before you. Fight against the ‘Goliaths’ that want to make a mess of your destiny, family, career, business, ministry, finances, health, nation, etc. Speak prophetic words against every seat of Satan positioned against you. Speak the word of the Lord against the spiritual wickedness that is affecting people around you. Arise in warfare against the forces of darkness around you. David later rose to the occasion and defeated Goliath, and his family gained the benefits of the battle he fought and won. His victory yielded dividends for his family. Brace up and fight your battles with everything you have in you, and be sure that your family will reap dividends of the victories you win. Even if everyone is afraid, defeat the enemy. Dare to scuttle the arrangements of the enemy. Remember, the victory of David was not for David alone. There was a family behind the scenes that was to reap from that victory. Fight your battles, gain the victory, and give those connected to you the benefits of your victory. Psalm 18: 39 says: “For thou hast girded me with strength unto the battle: thou hast subdued under me those that rose up against me.” Declare With Me: I win my battles; those connected to me shall gain benefits from my victory, in Jesus’ name! |
NOT BY SKILL “And the men of Israel said, Have ye seen this man that is come up? surely to defy Israel is he come up: and it shall be, that the man who killeth him, the king will enrich him with great riches, and will give him his daughter, and make his father's house free in Israel.” (1 Samuel 17: 25) That is the Focal Scripture of Streams of Joy Devotional today. When David arrived at the battle field, there was talk amongst the men of Israel about what would be done for anyone who succeeded in defeating Goliath. Those men included David’s brothers. They were soldiers, schooled in the art of warfare. They knew how battles were fought and won. They were trained to fight and win. David was not a soldier; he was a shepherd boy, but in the bush, he had encountered God again and and experienced deliverance from the lions and bears. David may not have had the formal training of a soldier, but he was schooled in divine encounter. Friend, in all your getting, crave for divine encounters from God. Deepen your intimacy with God. Wake up each day with a fresh desire for more and more of God. Seek to encounter God again and again in your alone moments. Seek to encounter the presence of God and have it fill you till you are filled to the brim. Seek to get deeper into the depths of God, surrounded by His glory, and feasting in His presence. David had never fought a war, all he had were divine encounters in the bush, all he knew was to prevail over the lions and bears by the help of God, and he defeated the same Goliath that kept the army of Israel in fear for forty days. By his encounters, he defeated a man who could not be beaten by trained soldiers. Your divine encounters will empower you to defeat the ‘Goliath’ that ‘trained soldiers’ can’t beat. When the trained men of Saul failed to beat Goliath, David rose to the occasion and defeated Goliath. When men of skill failed, the man with divine encounters did not fail. If you dive deeper into the depths of God, you will succeed where men of skill fail. If you deepen your intimacy with Jesus, He will capacitate you with the ability to slay the Goliaths of this world. Training is good enough, but it is not enough. Get into the depths of God, and you will attain the victories that training alone will not give you. Psalm 18: 34 says: “He teacheth my hands to war, so that a bow of steel is broken by mine arms.” Declare With Me: By my divine encounters, I defeat every skilled ‘Goliath’, in Jesus’ name! |
