• 1:26
  SPEAKER_01: Thank you, Lord.
• 1:27
  SPEAKER_01: All right.
• 1:28
  SPEAKER_01: Um, we have uh, I don't know if this was mentioned earlier, but we have um the this service particularly is designed for us to connect with you.
• 1:37
  SPEAKER_01: It's not designed for us to to have a long time sitting here, but it's designed for us to connect with you.
• 1:42
  SPEAKER_01: Um, so we have you're gonna have some food and games after the service, but first we're gonna get into the word.
• 1:47
  SPEAKER_01: Somebody say amen.
• 1:48
  SPEAKER_01: All right, let's look at um first Samuel chapter 17.
• 1:53
  SPEAKER_01: We're gonna start reading from verse 45.
• 1:56
  SPEAKER_01: 1 Samuel chapter 17, we start reading from verse 45.
• 2:01
  SPEAKER_01: 1 Samuel 17, we start reading from verse 45.
• 2:05
  SPEAKER_01: Thank you, Lord.
• 2:07
  SPEAKER_01: All right, um, thank you, Lord.
• 2:13
  SPEAKER_01: Then David said to the Philistine, You come to me with a sword and with a spear and with a javelin, but I come to you in the name of the Lord of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied.
• 2:28
  SPEAKER_01: This day the Lord will deliver you into my hands, and I will strike you and take your head from you.
• 2:34
  SPEAKER_01: Now the scene is, you know, David, um, a young boy of about 17 years old, and the scene is um the Israelites are now fighting against one of their arch enemies, the Philistines.
• 2:47
  SPEAKER_01: So that's the scene here.
• 2:48
  SPEAKER_01: David comes to that battlefield to deliver cheese and bread for his brothers, and then he encounters this giant that is defiling the angels or the armies of God.
• 2:58
  SPEAKER_01: He says, And this day I will give the carcasses of the camp of the Philistines to the birds of the air and the wild beasts of the earth, that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel.
• 3:11
  SPEAKER_01: Then all this assembly shall know that the Lord does not save with sword and spear, for the battle is the Lord's, and will give you into our hands.
• 3:21
  SPEAKER_01: So it was when the Philistines arose and came and drew near to meet David, that David hurried and ran toward the army to meet the Philistine.
• 3:31
  SPEAKER_01: Then David put his hand in his bag and took out a stone, and he slung it and struck the Philistine in his forehead, so that the stone sank into his forehead and he fell on his face to the earth.
• 3:44
  SPEAKER_01: So David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and a stone, and struck the Philistine and killed him.
• 3:51
  SPEAKER_01: But there was no sword in the hand of David.
• 3:54
  SPEAKER_01: Therefore David ran and stood over the Philistine, took his sword and drew it out of his sheath and killed him, and cut off his head with it.
• 4:04
  SPEAKER_01: And when the Philistines saw that their champion was dead, they fled.
• 4:10
  SPEAKER_01: When the Philistines saw that their champion was dead, they fled.
• 4:15
  SPEAKER_01: When they saw that their champion was dead, they fled.
• 4:17
  SPEAKER_01: I'm praying for you this morning that every of your enemies will flee from you in Jesus' name.
• 4:23
  SPEAKER_01: I said, your arch enemy will begin to flee from you in Jesus' name.
• 4:26
  SPEAKER_01: You see, when we do um this in church, it's not um it's not necessarily a call and response.
• 4:32
  SPEAKER_01: When you say amen in church, you are saying so be it.
• 4:34
  SPEAKER_01: You are agreeing with what God has said to you, and you are speaking it into the atmosphere, you are alerting the angels that will bring it to pass.
• 4:41
  SPEAKER_01: That's why you say amen in church.
• 4:43
  SPEAKER_01: That's why you you confess the word in church.
• 4:44
  SPEAKER_01: Let me say that prayer again.
• 4:45
  SPEAKER_01: I said, Every of your arch enemies, the things you run from, they will begin to run from you in Jesus' name.
• 4:53
  SPEAKER_01: I'm speaking this morning on what I've titled, confronting your giants.
• 4:58
  SPEAKER_01: Confronting your giants with a subtitle, you have what it takes.
• 5:02
  SPEAKER_01: Tell your neighbor you have what it takes.
• 5:04
  SPEAKER_01: Come on, tell your neighbor you have what it takes.
• 5:07
  SPEAKER_01: Encourage them.
• 5:08
  SPEAKER_01: Somebody does not believe they have what it takes.
• 5:10
  SPEAKER_01: Encourage them.
• 5:10
  SPEAKER_01: Say you have what it takes.
• 5:12
  SPEAKER_01: Yes, you have what it takes.
• 5:14
  SPEAKER_01: You have what it takes.
• 5:15
  SPEAKER_01: Confronting your giants, you have what it takes.
• 5:18
  SPEAKER_01: All of us have giants in our lives.
• 5:20
  SPEAKER_01: All of us have giants in our lives.
• 5:23
  SPEAKER_01: Giants are terrifying things, terrifying situations, things that are larger than life.
• 5:31
  SPEAKER_01: I remember I was in when I was in primary school, I was this guy.
• 5:35
  SPEAKER_01: Um, he obviously was not supposed to be in our class.
• 5:37
  SPEAKER_01: He was the biggest, and he sat at the back.
• 5:39
  SPEAKER_01: He was a terror to us.
• 5:40
  SPEAKER_01: When all of us were playing, we dare not move close to this guy.
• 5:43
  SPEAKER_01: He was he was probably like five years ahead, older than us, but somehow he ended up in our class.
• 5:49
  SPEAKER_01: And so he was it was a terror in every way.
• 5:51
  SPEAKER_01: You know, if you poked everybody in class, you better not poke this man sitting at the back because it was a terror.
• 5:57
  SPEAKER_01: You see, giants, giants are things that terrify us.
• 6:01
  SPEAKER_01: Giants are things that stare in your face, situations that stare in your face that would not go.
• 6:07
  SPEAKER_01: Situations that stare in your face, it could be physical giants, physical giants, helmet in your body.
• 6:13
  SPEAKER_01: It could be an environmental giant.
• 6:15
  SPEAKER_01: You see, Daniel and his friends, they suddenly found themselves in a strange land, Daniel and his friends, and they were faced with an environmental and a social giant.
• 6:24
  SPEAKER_01: The question on their minds was do we assimilate with this system?
• 6:28
  SPEAKER_01: Do we blend in with this system of the Babylonians?
• 6:32
  SPEAKER_01: That was a giant for Daniel and his friends.
• 6:34
  SPEAKER_01: The same thing you and I, you might be facing environmental giants.
• 6:36
  SPEAKER_01: You came to America and you are asking yourself, you know, there's a culture of death and all that in this country.
• 6:41
  SPEAKER_01: Do I blend in?
• 6:42
  SPEAKER_01: Do I blend in with the culture that says what God says is wrong is right?
• 6:46
  SPEAKER_01: Do I blend in?
• 6:47
  SPEAKER_01: Do I accept it?
• 6:48
  SPEAKER_01: You could be a spiritual giant you are facing.
• 6:50
  SPEAKER_01: All of us have a giant that we are facing.
• 6:54
  SPEAKER_01: And many times the natural tendency is for you and I to look at the size of that situation and then to look at ourselves and conclude that we have, we don't have what it takes.
• 7:04
  SPEAKER_01: We don't have what it takes.
• 7:06
  SPEAKER_01: We can conclude that we don't have what it takes.
• 7:08
  SPEAKER_01: But the thing is, the giants, the thing about giants is that until you confront them, they are not going anywhere.
• 7:14
  SPEAKER_01: If you are taking notes, please write that down.
• 7:16
  SPEAKER_01: The thing about giants is that until you confront them, they are not, they are not going anywhere.
• 7:20
  SPEAKER_01: Until you confront them, they are not going anywhere.
• 7:23
  SPEAKER_01: Goliath was screaming, was shouting at the longer at the top of his voice for 40 days.
• 7:28
  SPEAKER_01: I don't know what Saul's plan was.
• 7:30
  SPEAKER_01: Was Saul thinking that this man was just going to disappear?
• 7:33
  SPEAKER_01: No.
• 7:34
  SPEAKER_01: Giants, when you don't confront them, they are not going anywhere.
• 7:37
  SPEAKER_01: They are not going anywhere.
• 7:39
  SPEAKER_01: If you don't look your giant in the face, you see the thing about bullies is that the moment you confront a bully, they lose their power.
• 7:45
  SPEAKER_01: How many people have been bullied here?
• 7:47
  SPEAKER_01: Have you ever been bullied?
• 7:48
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 7:48
  SPEAKER_01: Okay, so maybe it's only me.
• 7:51
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, I think um this man is the bully.
• 7:54
  SPEAKER_01: Eli is the bully.
• 7:55
  SPEAKER_01: He's the one that bullies people.
• 7:58
  SPEAKER_01: You know.
• 7:59
  SPEAKER_01: Yes, if you if you've been bullied, you know that the moment you stand in front of a bully and you confront him, usually they lose their power.
• 8:06
  SPEAKER_01: Giants, your giant is not going anywhere.
• 8:08
  SPEAKER_01: You are going to have to take the bull by the arm.
• 8:10
  SPEAKER_01: You are going to have to man up, you are going to have to square your shoulders.
• 8:13
  SPEAKER_01: I don't care what the giant is a physical giant, a health giant, any type of giant, you are going to have to take the bull by the arm and address your giant.
• 8:23
  SPEAKER_01: The thing is, you see, many issues that you and I face, there might be little issues right now.
• 8:29
  SPEAKER_01: Even you know, little issues that with some prayer and some godly counsel and wise counsel, you can deal with them.
• 8:36
  SPEAKER_01: But when you don't accept, when you don't tow the line of prayer, when you don't take personal responsibility for it, when you don't accept godly counsel, those little issues become giants in your life.
• 8:47
  SPEAKER_01: When you don't address a giant, the giant becomes a monster.
• 8:51
  SPEAKER_01: When you don't address your giant, it becomes a monster.
• 8:54
  SPEAKER_01: You are going to have to take the bull by the arm.
• 8:56
  SPEAKER_01: Somebody say, I have what it takes.
• 8:58
  SPEAKER_01: Say it louder, say I have what it takes.
• 9:00
  SPEAKER_01: I said, Let me give you one more chance.
• 9:02
  SPEAKER_01: I say I have what it takes.
• 9:05
  SPEAKER_01: The thing about the giant in your life is that that giant was actually tailor-made for you.
• 9:11
  SPEAKER_01: That giant was placed there for you.
• 9:15
  SPEAKER_01: That giant, I mean, think about the generations of people that the story of David and Goliath has inspired.
• 9:21
  SPEAKER_01: Think about the generations of people, generation of children that the story of David and Goliath has inspired.
• 9:26
  SPEAKER_01: It seems to me that God placed Goliath there for the taking.
• 9:31
  SPEAKER_01: God placed Goliath there for David to make means meet of him.
• 9:35
  SPEAKER_01: Yes, you have what it takes.
• 9:37
  SPEAKER_01: That Goliath of poverty in your life, the Goliath of lack in your life, you have what it takes.
• 9:43
  SPEAKER_01: That Goliath of a pattern of broken marriages in your lineage, you have what it takes to stop it.
• 9:48
  SPEAKER_01: Somebody say amen to that.
• 9:49
  SPEAKER_01: Yes, you have what it takes.
• 9:51
  SPEAKER_01: You are equipped to bring down that Goliath.
• 9:55
  SPEAKER_01: You are equipped to do it, you have what it takes.
• 9:58
  SPEAKER_01: That Goliath was tailor-made for you.
• 10:00
  SPEAKER_01: God knowing the abilities you have, the resources at your disposal, and the spiritual graces that he has made available to you, he knows that you have what it takes.
• 10:10
  SPEAKER_01: And you don't have to do it alone because God has made resources available for you.
• 10:15
  SPEAKER_01: God will not do for you what you should do for yourself.
• 10:18
  SPEAKER_01: There's a story of a man in Acts chapter 12.
• 10:20
  SPEAKER_01: Story of a man in Acts chapter 12.
• 10:21
  SPEAKER_01: The name of the man is Peter.
• 10:23
  SPEAKER_01: Peter.
• 10:24
  SPEAKER_01: He had been thrown in prison.
• 10:26
  SPEAKER_01: His other compatriot, James, had been killed in Acts chapter 12, and it was going to be his turn.
• 10:31
  SPEAKER_01: Guess what?
• 10:32
  SPEAKER_01: An angel appeared to him.
• 10:33
  SPEAKER_01: The angel broke open these prison doors.
• 10:36
  SPEAKER_01: And guess what the angel told Peter in Acts chapter 12?
• 10:38
  SPEAKER_01: He said, Take up your sanders, wear your sanders, take up your garments, wear your garment.
• 10:43
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, the angel that can break the bars of high.
• 10:47
  SPEAKER_01: Shouldn't that angel be able to, you know, somehow do some magic and help Peter put on his sanders?
• 10:52
  SPEAKER_01: Shouldn't that angel be able to, you know, help him put on his garment?
• 10:55
  SPEAKER_01: Why?
• 10:56
  SPEAKER_01: Because God will not do for you what you should do for yourself, what you can do for yourself.
• 11:02
  SPEAKER_01: God will not do it for you.
• 11:03
  SPEAKER_01: Many of us are asked, expecting God to come and help us confront our giants.
• 11:06
  SPEAKER_01: No, he has given you the ability, he has given you the wherewithal, he has given you the resources to confront your giants.
• 11:13
  SPEAKER_01: You are going to have to face that giant, and you don't have to do it alone.
• 11:16
  SPEAKER_01: Now, what I want to speak on for the rest of the time I have is how do you confront your giants?
• 11:23
  SPEAKER_01: How do you confront your giant?
• 11:27
  SPEAKER_01: Three things that you must know, three things that you must do, that you must have in mind if you want to successfully confront your giant.
• 11:36
  SPEAKER_01: Three things that you must know, that you must do to successfully confront your giant.
• 11:42
  SPEAKER_01: And I guarantee you that whatever is looking big to you right now, whatever that issue is, if you pay attention to these three things, that thing will begin to pale into nothingness in Jesus' name.
• 11:52
  SPEAKER_01: I said that thing will begin to pale into nothingness in Jesus' name.
• 11:56
  SPEAKER_01: Number one thing that you must do and know if you want to successfully confront your giant, is you must secure the presence of God.
• 12:05
  SPEAKER_01: You must secure the presence of God.
• 12:07
  SPEAKER_01: Somebody says secure the presence of God.
• 12:09
  SPEAKER_01: Say it louder, say secure the presence of God.
• 12:12
  SPEAKER_01: Yes, you must secure the presence of God.
• 12:16
  SPEAKER_01: You see, as a child of God that has given their lives to Christ, what does it mean to be a child of God?
• 12:21
  SPEAKER_01: What does it mean to be a believer?
• 12:23
  SPEAKER_01: It means that you have accepted the substitutionary sacrifice of Jesus as payment for your sins.
• 12:29
  SPEAKER_01: That's what it means to be a child of God.
• 12:31
  SPEAKER_01: It means that you know that you are a sinful man or a sinful woman, and you know that you cannot help yourself.
• 12:38
  SPEAKER_01: And somehow you have heard the message of the gospel.
• 12:40
  SPEAKER_01: You have heard that Jesus came to the earth, he lived a sinless life, and he died on the cross.
• 12:46
  SPEAKER_01: And on the third day, God, by his miraculous power, raised him from the dead, and is now seated on the right hand of God in majesty, making intercession for us.
• 12:55
  SPEAKER_01: You believe that story, you believe that in your heart, and you believe that Jesus' sacrifice on the cross was for you, was for me.
• 13:02
  SPEAKER_01: And you have placed your faith of eternal salvation in that sacrifice.
• 13:05
  SPEAKER_01: Somebody say amen.
• 13:07
  SPEAKER_01: Now, when you do that, you are a child of God, you're a believer.
• 13:09
  SPEAKER_01: You're a believer.
• 13:10
  SPEAKER_01: And as a believer, your number one pursuit must be the knowledge of God.
• 13:16
  SPEAKER_01: Your number one pursuit must be to know God for yourself.
• 13:19
  SPEAKER_01: Having been translated from the kingdom of darkness to the kingdom of his death son, what you must now do, what you must spend all of your waking hours doing is pursuing and deepening your intimate relationship with God.
• 13:35
  SPEAKER_01: Yes.
• 13:36
  SPEAKER_01: Now we must know a lot of other things.
• 13:38
  SPEAKER_01: If you are a nurse, you better be a good nurse.
• 13:40
  SPEAKER_01: You see, if you're an architect, you better design houses properly.
• 13:43
  SPEAKER_01: So technical expertise is very important.
• 13:46
  SPEAKER_01: You must know the things you are doing.
• 13:48
  SPEAKER_01: However, there is a type of knowledge that exceeds technical knowledge.
• 13:53
  SPEAKER_01: Yes, there is a type of knowledge, there is a realm of knowledge that is beyond technical knowledge, and that is the knowledge of God.
• 14:00
  SPEAKER_01: Somebody said the knowledge of God.
• 14:01
  SPEAKER_01: Yes, we must pursue that.
• 14:03
  SPEAKER_01: Jeremiah chapter 9, verse 23.
• 14:05
  SPEAKER_01: Jeremiah chapter 9, he says, Thus says the Lord, let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, let not the mighty man glory in his might.
• 14:14
  SPEAKER_01: No let the rich man glory in his riches.
• 14:17
  SPEAKER_01: But let him who glories glory in these, that he understands and knows God.
• 14:22
  SPEAKER_01: That I am the Lord, exercising loving kindness, judgment, and righteousness in the earth.
• 14:28
  SPEAKER_01: For in these I delight.
• 14:31
  SPEAKER_01: God is saying explicitly here that you can do a lot of other things, but my delight is in when you know me personally, when you have a personal relationship with me.
• 14:41
  SPEAKER_01: You see, your greatest asset is the presence of God.
• 14:44
  SPEAKER_01: If you're writing that, write it down.
• 14:46
  SPEAKER_01: Your greatest asset is the presence of God.
• 14:48
  SPEAKER_01: Your greatest asset in facing the giants in your life, in facing those situations in your life, the greatest asset you have is the presence of God.
• 14:56
  SPEAKER_01: Not your houses, not your rental properties.
• 15:00
  SPEAKER_01: Your 401k is great, not your 401k, not the cushy job you have in Wall Street or um, you know, in Washington, DC.
• 15:09
  SPEAKER_01: No, those are not the assets that you need to confront the giants in your life.
• 15:13
  SPEAKER_01: The asset, your number one asset, is the presence of God.
• 15:18
  SPEAKER_01: You've heard it said that your network determines your net worth, right?
• 15:22
  SPEAKER_01: You've heard it.
• 15:23
  SPEAKER_01: How many of us have heard that before?
• 15:24
  SPEAKER_01: If you've heard it, wave to me, wave to me.
• 15:26
  SPEAKER_01: Yes, you've heard it.
• 15:26
  SPEAKER_01: Your network determines what your net worth, and that's true.
• 15:29
  SPEAKER_01: You can you you network with human beings, you connect with them, you know, you have good social network.
• 15:35
  SPEAKER_01: The same thing is true.
• 15:36
  SPEAKER_01: If you want to improve your value, if you want to improve your value, network with God, maintain a deep relationship with God, secure his presence around you.
• 15:48
  SPEAKER_01: If you want to maintain, if you want to improve your value, you know what the presence of God would do, it will give you ability to solve problems that others cannot solve.
• 15:57
  SPEAKER_01: The presence of God will give you the ability to solve problems that others cannot solve.
• 16:01
  SPEAKER_01: Problems that those in your family, you know, that that you know have more pedigree than you, those in your family that have more, you know, connection than you, problems they cannot solve, because you have the presence of God, God gives you the ability to solve those problems.
• 16:16
  SPEAKER_01: And that's what increases your value.
• 16:18
  SPEAKER_01: It's not money, it's not houses, it is the presence of God that increases our value.
• 16:23
  SPEAKER_01: Who is this God that I am encouraging you to secure his presence?
• 16:27
  SPEAKER_01: Who is he?
• 16:27
  SPEAKER_01: Let me show us two things about this God.
• 16:29
  SPEAKER_01: There are many things I could show us, but I want to show us two things about this God that I'm encouraging you to secure his presence in facing the giants in your life.
• 16:38
  SPEAKER_01: Number one, he is all powerful.
• 16:40
  SPEAKER_01: Write that down.
• 16:41
  SPEAKER_01: He is all powerful.
• 16:43
  SPEAKER_01: He's what?
• 16:44
  SPEAKER_01: All powerful.
• 16:46
  SPEAKER_01: What does that mean?
• 16:47
  SPEAKER_01: When I say God is all powerful, it means nothing is beyond his rich.
• 16:51
  SPEAKER_01: Nothing is beyond this rich.
• 16:53
  SPEAKER_01: The help you need is not beyond this rich.
• 16:56
  SPEAKER_01: The money you need is not beyond this rich.
• 16:58
  SPEAKER_01: The increase you need, I thought somebody will say amen to that.

• 23:23
  SPEAKER_01: The Bible tells us the harm of the flesh will fail.
• 23:26
  SPEAKER_01: Aren't you tired of that cycle?

  SPEAKER_01: Before David fought Goliath, he had no idea of the magnitude of the assignment that was before him.
• 24:14
  SPEAKER_01: He was just delivering cheese and bread to the war front.
• 24:19
  SPEAKER_01: That was what he was doing.
• 24:20
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, the father said, Go and check on your brothers and make sure that everything is well with them.
• 24:24
  SPEAKER_01: And that was what he was doing.
• 24:25
  SPEAKER_01: The Bible says he arose the next morning and he went.
• 24:29
  SPEAKER_01: But that presence was going with him.
• 24:31

  SPEAKER_01: He was doing small assignments with passion.
• 24:36
  SPEAKER_01: He was doing small assignments with passion.
• 24:40
  SPEAKER_01: Well, at the risk of offending you, at the risk of offending you, you see, you don't have to get paid for everything.
• 24:47
  SPEAKER_01: I know we live in a capitalist environment.
• 24:50
  SPEAKER_01: I know we live in America.
• 24:52
  SPEAKER_01: You know, you have somebody to do any little thing for you, they're asking you, okay, what's it gonna be?
• 24:56
  SPEAKER_01: What's what's what's it gonna be?
• 24:57
  SPEAKER_01: How much are you gonna pay me?
• 24:58
  SPEAKER_01: In a capitalist economy, it's difficult.
• 25:01
  SPEAKER_01: What I just told you is very challenging to hear that you don't have to get paid for everything.
• 25:04
  SPEAKER_01: And I'm not, you know, I'm not I'm not trying to make you feel bad about anything, but you don't have to get paid for everything.
• 25:10
  SPEAKER_01: Sometimes when you don't get paid, you are getting paid in favor.
• 25:14
  SPEAKER_01: When you don't get paid money, you are getting paid by favor.
• 25:18
  SPEAKER_01: David had been working for his father for many years.
• 25:20
  SPEAKER_01: There's no record that his father paid him.
• 25:23
  SPEAKER_01: No record that his father paid him.
• 25:25
  SPEAKER_01: I think we should redefine how we what we mean by profit.
• 25:28
  SPEAKER_01: What is profit?
• 25:29
  SPEAKER_01: Is profit only money?
• 25:30
  SPEAKER_01: Answer me now.
• 25:31
  SPEAKER_01: Is profit only money?
• 25:32
  SPEAKER_01: No, profit is not only money.
• 25:34
  SPEAKER_01: Profit can be an advantage and an unusual advantage that you gain.
• 25:39
  SPEAKER_01: Profit can be you know a benefit that you gain.
• 25:42
  SPEAKER_01: So if I go to work for a small business, for example, and I'm you know just serving there faithfully and I'm not getting paid, but I'm learning how to start my own business and I start my own business and I'm making the same amount that the CEO is now making.
• 25:54
  SPEAKER_01: Have I gained or have I lost?
• 25:56
  SPEAKER_01: I've gained.
• 25:57
  SPEAKER_01: Have I had profit?
• 25:58
  SPEAKER_01: Yes, I have had profit.
• 25:59
  SPEAKER_01: You don't have to get paid for everything.
• 26:01
  SPEAKER_01: Sometimes when you go you don't get paid, you are getting paid with favor.
• 26:06
  SPEAKER_01: David did not get paid.
• 26:09
  SPEAKER_01: But guess what?
• 26:10
  SPEAKER_01: He was getting the profit of skill to fight.
• 26:15
  SPEAKER_01: David had the profit of what skill to fight.
• 26:18
  SPEAKER_01: His brothers were in the boardroom and they were learning the theory of war.
• 26:22
  SPEAKER_01: You know, when the Philistines come this way, we'll flank them on this side.
• 26:25
  SPEAKER_01: When push came to shove, everybody ran.
• 26:29
  SPEAKER_01: But David, even though he was not getting paid for this duty of keeping the ship, guess what?
• 26:33
  SPEAKER_01: It was learning how to fight.
• 26:37
  SPEAKER_01: It was sharpening his skill.
• 26:39
  SPEAKER_01: In verse 34, verse 34 of 1 Samuel chapter 17, verse 34.
• 26:45
  SPEAKER_01: I'm going to read it from here.
• 26:46
  SPEAKER_01: Verse 34 of 1 Samuel chapter 17.
• 26:48
  SPEAKER_01: It says, But David said to Saul, your servant used to keep his father's sheep.
• 26:53
  SPEAKER_01: And when a lion or a bear came and took the lamb out of the flock, verse 35 says, I went out after it and struck it and delivered the lamb from its mouth.
• 27:04
  SPEAKER_01: And when it arose against me, I cut it by its beard and I struck it and killed it.
• 27:10
  SPEAKER_01: Expertise, skill in fighting.
• 27:13
  SPEAKER_01: You carry out small assignments with passion and a willing spirit.
• 27:18
  SPEAKER_01: So although David did not get paid for serving his father, he was getting paid in skill of fighting.
• 27:26
  SPEAKER_01: So one day, God was looking for a king for his children.
• 27:29
  SPEAKER_01: He was looking for a king for his children.
• 27:31
  SPEAKER_01: And then he needed somebody that had experience looking after sheep.
• 27:35
  SPEAKER_01: He needed somebody that had a heart for caring for people and a skill for fighting.
• 27:39
  SPEAKER_01: That's why the Bible says in Psalm 78.
• 27:41
  SPEAKER_01: Let's look at Psalm 78 and verse 70.
• 27:44
  SPEAKER_01: Psalm 78 and verse 70.
• 27:47
  SPEAKER_01: Thank you, Lord.
• 27:48
  SPEAKER_01: Psalm 78 and verse 70.
• 27:50
  SPEAKER_01: Look at what it says.
• 27:51
  SPEAKER_01: How God, why God chose David eventually.
• 27:55
  SPEAKER_01: Psalm 78 and verse 70.
• 27:58
  SPEAKER_01: He also chose David his servant and took him from the sheep's folds, from following the eels that had young, and he brought him to shepherd Jacob, his people, and Israel, his inheritance.
• 28:10
  SPEAKER_01: Verse 72 of Psalm 78.
• 28:12
  SPEAKER_01: He says, So he shepherded them according to the integrity of his heart and guided them by the skillfulness of his hands.
• 28:21
  SPEAKER_01: God was looking for a king, he needed somebody that had experience keeping sheep.
• 28:29
  SPEAKER_01: Why?
• 28:29
  SPEAKER_01: Because he was carrying out a small assignment with passion.
• 28:33
  SPEAKER_01: He was carrying out a small assignment with a willing spirit.
• 28:48
  SPEAKER_01: I said, Are you here or have you left?
• 28:50
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, exactly.
• 28:50
  SPEAKER_01: I hope you are here.
• 28:52
  SPEAKER_01: God does what He hides big opportunities inside small opportunities.
• 28:57
  SPEAKER_01: He hides big opportunities inside small opportunities.
• 29:01
  SPEAKER_01: That is why you and I must not despise the days of little beginnings.
• 29:04
  SPEAKER_01: I know you have dreams of of you know leading you know a multinational.
• 29:09
  SPEAKER_01: You have dreams of becoming the CEO of Pfizer one day, you have dreams of becoming the vice president one day, you have dreams of becoming the you know the director in your company one day.

  SPEAKER_01: God is looking at you how you are doing the little things right now.
• 29:30
  SPEAKER_01: God is looking at you, how you are doing little things, how you are carrying out little tasks.
• 29:35
  SPEAKER_01: You've heard the story.
• 29:36
  SPEAKER_01: You I mean, you have probably heard this that the way you do small things is the way you do everything.
• 29:42
  SPEAKER_01: The way you do small things is the way you do everything.
• 29:46
  SPEAKER_01: The way you do small things is the way you do everything.
• 29:49
  SPEAKER_01: So you do you carry out small assignments, no matter how small it is, you are faithful in little things.
• 29:55
  SPEAKER_01: Being faithful in little things, being faithful in little things, it is when you are faithful in little things that more is added to you.
• 30:03
  SPEAKER_01: When you are faithful in little things, when you know, oh, I only have one talent, I only have one talent, oh you have they've sent me to the backside of the desert.
• 30:09
  SPEAKER_01: No, you have faithful right there.

  SPEAKER_01: You know, the person that coordinates us now to put together our homecoming service, person that coordinates us, you know.
• 30:18
  SPEAKER_01: Yes, you coordinated the garden of um, you know, a small church and all that, but the way you coordinated this one is that the opportunity that God will give you to coordinate a larger conference.
• 30:27
  SPEAKER_01: Are you hearing what I'm saying?
• 30:28
  SPEAKER_01: Yes, the attitude you have in coordinating a garden of 50 people, the attitude you have in coordinating a garden of 50 people and ministering to a garden of 50 people is what God will look at to see if you are qualified to me to minister to a thousand.
• 30:43
  SPEAKER_01: Yes, you do small assignments, you are faithful in little things, just as David was.
• 30:50
  SPEAKER_01: The man had integrity of heart because when the lion came and the bear came, he fought them off.
• 30:57
  SPEAKER_01: God reckoned that if I give this person human beings, he will manage them well, he will protect them.
• 31:04
  SPEAKER_01: If I give him a bigger responsibility to be the king over my people, he will do a good job.
• 31:09
  SPEAKER_01: So, number one, we said to confront your giant, you must secure the presence of God.
• 31:14
  SPEAKER_01: We said, number two, to confront your giant, you must do what?
• 31:18
  SPEAKER_01: You must carry out small assignments with passion and a willing spirit.

• 32:08
  SPEAKER_01: Thank you, Holy Scott, thank you, Holy Spirit.
• 32:10

• 32:58
  SPEAKER_01: If you are born in this country, you won't understand.
• 33:00
  SPEAKER_01: This was a giant.
