From very poor to very rich

1 Samuel 17:34-35 KJV
And David said unto Saul, Thy servant kept his father's sheep, and there came a lion, and a bear, and took a lamb out of the flock:

[35] And I went out after him, and smote him, and delivered it out of his mouth: and when he arose against me, I caught him by his beard, and smote him, and slew him.

As we read the curriculum vitae presented by David above that tells us all about Him and why He feels qualified to go up against the war legend; Goliath, we are tempted to notice only bravery and strength, fearlessness and courage but there's more between the lines.

I mean who goes after a lion because of one sheep out of a "flock". Does He have a death wish or something? Well if He did that would clarify easily why He wants to go up against this giant, I guess he is just trying to finalize His suicide arrangements.

But if He didn't have a death wish (which I'm sure he didn't) then one other thing could have made Him go after that sheep.. definitely not love for the sheep right? I mean, we basically keep sheep for meat and what would we eat when we fall in love with our food and begin to pet them.

So the reason He chased down the bear and lion because was He was from a poor Jesse house where 7great sons contended for everything and his father only had a few sheep. Now from within the few, a lion has decided to have lunch and suddenly it Dawns on David that there goes the family dinner for a few days and he decides to get it back.

That was the motivation!

However we never remember David's poverty years and yet they existed. Even the man David Himself admitted to be poor in Psalm 34:6 but  we don't seem to take note. In fact hardly is there anyone of us that have a picture of David in our mind as a poor shepherd boy struggling within his means.

That means God can lift you so high the whole world.. I repeat the whole world will forget where you came from. That means God can make you so great everyone gonna forget how small you used to be.

God totally changed his identity. We rarely remember the shepherd. Today we reverence the king, the forefather of our dear Lord and savior. Who remembers that he had to drag lunch with the wild animals at one point in his life? Who remembers he came to Saul so tattered they felt He needed a dressing up.. metaphorically they assumes, if the young lad was gonna die, let him pass out looking handsome.. let's dress him up one time in his life let him look good and royal. 

Listen to me.. where they never thought you could reach, you are passing there.

All the people that try to stop you, you will leave them behind.

Soon the Lord will bless you so hard even your family will forget your poverty years.

Soon you will be healed and no one will remember that once you were sick

You are coming out of your troubles

You are coming out of your problems

Solutions are bound to find you

Your story is about to change..

Get ready

We speak life
