Divine champion 11
Memorise: But they that wait upon the
LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they
shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint. Isaiah 40:31
Yesterday we discovered that our Lord Jesus Christ is
the number one champion and that He makes His people champions. We saw also
that a divine champion is a person raised up and supported by God.
One attitude of a champion is strength. The divine
champion is one who receives divine strengthening. 1 Samuel 2:9 says be
strength (i.e. human ability) shall no man prevail. The required divine
strength for success, achievement, getting to the top etc is supplied tot eh
divine champion by God. Hannah, who by inspiration of the Holy Spirit
proclaimed those words in prayers, had that experience. She became a champion
by divine strengthening. She received strength to put an end to her barrenness,
thus her shame and reproach were taken away. Every marks that turning point in
the story of your life; the strength for conception comes into you right now in
Jesus’ Name. having delivered our first three children by caesarean section, by
this same divine strengthening, my wife safely delivered our fourth child by
herself contrary to the expert’s opinion. The Lord who did it for us will do it
for you.
By the time
divine strength came upon Elijah the divine champion, He ran on foot ahead of
the king’s chariot to the city of jezreel ( 1 Kings 18:46). Thus, the divine
champion is always physically strong in his body –no room for sickness at all.
Through it was by divine ability that David tore both the lion and the bear
while shepherding his father’s flock, he would not have been a sickly fellow to
be in the wilderness looking after the animals. Likewise, through God was the
one behind his killing of the giant Goliath with catapult, he would no doubt
have been healthy in his body to be strong enough to pull the catapult string.
Jesus our master is the number one divine champion; we can only be divine champions
because He is. There is no one occasion recorded where he was having a simple
headache. Therefore, we His champions have no business being sick. Rather, what
Jesus was doing is what we are meant to be doing also, i.e. giving health to
the sick (Act 10:38)
Prayer point
Father, make me a divine champion; full
of the anointing, and give me a strong sickness-free body for your service.
