Title: Champion

The bible tell us that we are champions over all our situations if actually tap on God's strength and ability

God said to Joshua that He will give him every step of land that he stepped on, not even 99.99999%. God will provide you with all the things you need if you choose to tap on his resources

We need to live up to the champion that God had given us

David the one of the great champion that God had developed

Acts 13:36

Five things that can be seen in David's life that we can cultivate

1. He raise up from famine situations

1 samuel 16:12

David was not sent to the prophet as he is the rejected one among the rest of the son

Hovever,Inspite of him even being rejected in the begining, he raise up above the rest to do great things for God

The only time when you have a perfect family is when you die, thus for now we need to accept our imperfect family and raise from it to shine for Jesus.

our family background cannot determine our destiny. Nothing can determine our destiny, but God

David is a champion that raise up from all circumstances and serve the Lord

2. Willing to undergo training

1 samuel 17:33-37

When David is protecting his sheep, God was actually training him for his destiny

The greater the calling the greater the training

James 1:2-4

When you went through trails, you need to look at the positive things bad not the negative side

3. A champion knows how to handle critism

Some of our parents, is actually very negative in their words. We must not be affected but to strive beyond it for God

With so much negative that is spoken to us. We need to know how we should manage it but not cripple but it

We cannot stop other people from saying negative but we can stop them from planting the word in your heart.

In the name of Christ, we need to reject those negative word

We cannot just puck away the plant just once, but daily to make you effective

Reject negative words and embrace positve compliments and corrections

4. Know the source if it's strength

David knows that the source of his strength is the Holy Spirit

Similarly, the secret of overcoming is to tap on the Holy spirit

We need to cultivate the habit of getting to the Holy Spirit when we are in trouble and trails

When you want to live your life victoriously, you need to start to walk with the spirit

5. Knows how to come back from defeat

Changing from being defeated to victory

A champion never give up
