NO DELAYS

SCRIPTURE READING: 1 SAMUEL 17: 1-53

FOCUS: “And the Philistine drew near morning and evening, and presented himself forty days.” (1 Samuel 17: 16)

MEMORY VERSE: “I have pursued mine enemies, and overtaken them: neither did I turn again till they were consumed.” (Psalm 18: 37)

Our Focal Scripture makes mention of the fact that Goliath presented himself every morning and evening, for forty days. For forty days, Goliath used his speeches to distract the children of Israel from the battle. For forty days, he kept them focused on him instead of focused on victory. David later killed Goliath, and Israel won the battle. So, this was a battle they could win, but Goliath stood in the way of victory for forty days.

Friend, hear me as I hear the Lord: any man that is standing in the way of your victory, let fire answer. Every man that says you will not make progress beyond certain limits, let fire clear the way. Every Goliath that is standing in the way of your increase, let fire clear the way. Every Goliath that says your victory will come late, let fire answer. Every Goliath that wants to delay your new season and next level, let fire clear the way.

Goliath used empty words to keep the battle longer than it should have lasted. The presence of Goliath caused the battle to stretch. Hear me as I hear the Lord: every Goliath that wants to stretch your battles longer than necessary, let fire answer. Every arrangement or system of hell that wants you to arrive late to your destination, let fire answer. Every negative verdict that wants to make your journey longer, let fire answer.

David showed up, and it was not long before he prevailed over Goliath with a sling and a stone. He showed up, and the battle ended. You are that man that will show up and the battle will end. You are that man that will show up and the journey of negativity will end. You are that one that will show up and the schemes of darkness will end. You are that one that will show up, and the messengers of hell will be put to flight.

Welcome to that season where your victories will no longer be delayed. Welcome to that season where Goliath will no longer stand in the way of your victory.
