1 Chronicles 14:13-17
Once more the Philistines raided the valley; so David inquired of God again, and God answered him," Do not go straight up, but circle around them and attack them in front of the balsam trees. As soon as you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the balsam trees. As soon as you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the balsams trees, move out to battle, because that will mean God has gone out in front of you to strike the Philistine army." So David did as God commanded him, and they struck down the Philistine army, all the way from Gibeon and Gezer. So David's fame spread throughout every land, and the Lord made all the nations fear him.
In this verse, the enemy came but David conquered the enemy because God fought for him in the spirit first, before David won in the flesh. From this, we can learn 3 things.
1. Favour
David had favour with God. God was on his side and with God, he conquered the enemy. This shows we need to have favour with God because if God is on our side, who can stand against us.
2. Wisdom
David had wisdom. He was not foolhardy and went to attack the enemy before God moved in the spirit. David obeyed God as he was commanded and he didn't question God. This shows we need to be wise and follow God's instruction because everything is engineered through him and he knows everything and naturally as humans, we want to follow someone who is greater than us, yes?
3. Stature
When David conquered the enemy, God made him known through all the nations and they all feared him. God gave him stature and influence because David had found favour with God and David had the wisdom to follow God. This shows that if we want to have stature and great influence in our schools, we need to think and say everything that pleases our God and have the wisdom to wait for God to move before we move.
When we conquer the enemy, when we conquer the devil, we will naturally have found favour with God, have wisdom to follow God and gained stature from God and that is the beginning of leadership.
Just a little revelation before midnight. (:
what is Big!

what is big?
every big things starts from small e.g mustard seed. why a mustard seed ?
because it is one of the smallest seed in the world but as it grows it will become a huge tree. talking about seeds look at the durian the seed is quite big right but its still grows into a huge tree nothing will grow from big too small but it will keep growing. there is no meaning "growing shorter' human beings, plants ,fruit or seeds will not shrink but it will keep growing the only time where it shrinks is when the plant withers away . God has engineered growth these way its the same with our faith.
when we first accept Christ our faith is still small but when we grow in God it will be bigger. God always uses small things to do important roles such as your eye browns. your eye brown make a big difference, why? when you sweat, your sweat will role down from your fore head it prevents sweat going into your eyes.wow i did not know until wei jie told me i thought it was just for show so many people cut their eye brown untill there is no more haha .
As i were saying small things makes a difference Amen see you guys at zone f prayer meeting ! bye

Just had a sudden thought.
addicts of this world are mostly addicts for the wrong thing, drug addict, alcoholics, money...
but what addicts are we?
Addiction to these people of the world, they want to satisfy it, or else they will really be desperate and do whatever it takes, yeah, whatever it takes to get what they want.
are we going to be like them?
not in a way we become addicts for drugs and everything! haha.
how about, God-addict.
Lets have this hunger like them, a sense of desperateness when we are without God, its a addiction, a hunger that we have to, and want to satisfy.
When we are stopped from meeting with God, are we going to do whatever it takes to get back to Him?
thats something i have learnt today. :)
