May 2021-David's strategy and God's confirmation to the breakthrough

⏲ 3 mins


Place: Valley of Rephaim

Scene1: Philistines spread out for the battle against David.
David: Shall I go up?
God: Go up.
David: Will you hand them over to me?
God: I will certainly hand over to you.
David: After defeating them, David said that, Thank you, You are the Master of breakthroughs aka Baal-perazim.

So David came to Baal-perazim, and he defeated them there, and said, “The Lord has broken through my enemies before me, like a breakthrough of water.” So he named that place Baal-perazim (master of breakthroughs). 2 Samuel 5:19-20 AMP

Scene2: Philistines spread out for the battle against David.
David: Shall I go up?
God: No. You shall not go up.
David: What is the plan?
God: Circle around behind them and come at them in front of the balsam trees. And when you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the balsam trees, then you shall pay attention and act promptly, for at that time *the Lord will have gone out before you* to strike the army of the Philistines.”
David: Thank you.

David did just as the Lord had commanded him and struck down the Philistines from Geba as far as Gezer. 2 Samuel 5:25 AMP

The simple and smart strategy that David applied during his expansion as the king is that checking with God. *Prayer* is the way forward to get Break throughs. In other words, Prayer *brings Break Through*. Amen.

May the Lord lead us through victory, help us to overcome the setbacks. May the Master of Break throughs enable us to conquer forts, barriers, and great walls to expand our horizons. Let's give a big shout out of Praises to the Lord and bring Glory to His Name in everything we do, receive in this new month (May 2021) . In the Name of the Jesus Name, the Prophesied Messiah. Amen.

God Blesses Israel and Us. 🙏🙏🙏

In His Grip,

Real battle, Different rules

Real battle, different rules Refer 2 Cor 10:3-6- NIV- For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. 4 The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds . 5 We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ. 6 And we will be ready to punish every act of disobedience, once your obedience is complete. Paul's tone changes sharply in 2 Corinthians 10. After pleading gently for generosity toward the poor, he turns to face his critics, and he is no longer soft-spoken. They claimed he was bold on paper but timid in person, a man who threatened discipline from a distance and would never dare follow through face to face. In short, they questioned whether he had the apostolic authority he claimed. Paul's answer was to describe his ministry as spiritual warfare. The world is unprinciple...

God rewriting life stories

God rewriting life stories Reference Ps 18:20-24 Psalm 18:20–24 (The Message) captures David’s reflection on how God restored and renewed his life when he fully surrendered to Him. In Eugene Peterson’s paraphrase, the language feels vivid and personal—more like a heartfelt testimony than a formal psalm—showing how God restores, remakes, and redefines those who turn to Him. Amen. "God rewrote the text of my life when I opened the book of my heart to His eyes" is perhaps the most powerful image here. It shows that when David welcomed God into his innermost being, God transformed his story—redeeming it, reshaping it, and giving it new meaning and purpose. Hallelujah!  David says God “made my life complete” when he laid everything before Him, and that God “rewrote the text” of his life. This language highlights honest surrender, repentance, and the experience of being restored by God. 2 Corinthians 5:17 makes the same basic claim in a more compact form: “if anyone is in Chris...

I will Bless the Lord

I will bless the Lord, at all times...  Reference: Ps 34:1 - I will bless the LORD at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth. One of the most important attitudes we can embrace in life is making it a habit to bless Him continually. I use the word “lifestyle” on purpose—it’s not just for when we feel like it, but also for when we don’t, because it’s essential. It’s not only about what we do, but who we are.  David’s steady commitment was clear in his words. He received countless blessings from the Lord even before he became well-known. Before everyone knew his name, the Lord knew him for his constant praise and gratitude. Out in the fields, tending sheep in the green pastures, he would sing, dance, and bless the Lord. That was David's preparation to the bigger assignments.  Verse 4 from this chapter really spoke to me: I sought the Lord, trusting in His word, and He answered me, delivering me from all my fears. So, I bless the Lord—Amen, Hallelujah. He...
