UNTIL HE COMES WHOSE RIGHT IT IS
I Samuel 17:23-24, KJV
"23 And as he talked with them, behold, there came up the champion, the Philistine of Gath, Goliath by name, out of the armies of the Philistines, and spake according to the same words: and David heard them. 24 And all the men of Israel, when they saw the man, fled from him, and were sore afraid."
If you hit on another man's assignment, it won't prove for you because according to allotment, you were not allotted that assignment. Things prove if such task is one's task from the Lord. For forty days and forty nights, the Philistine, Goliath of Gath defied the armies of the Lord without a mouth to stop his railing. The Bible records that he comes forth daily to intimidate and challenge Israel. As he does this, he sends shivers into the spines of the soldiers and they flee from him. Why is it so difficult for one not to have stepped forward to stop or fight Goliath as he proposed a one on one fight? Are they all not trained men? Do you know why none was able to peep out or concede to fight him? It is because Goliath was not their assignment. So, they lacked the anointing, inner stirring, persuasion, assurance and daring spirit to combat him. When all these are lacking in a man, it indicates such assignment hasn't been willed him from above. What is yours from above is what God will corresponds you to handle. Even if it is bigger than you, God will bow it for you to gloat over. It's just one way of God showing His commitment to all He calls and who are ready to work for Him in their respective areas of specialization.
All of us must seek to find what God has given us to do and then stick to same. Why would Saul be handicapped killing Goliath? It's simply because God has not accorded Goliath amidst those he'll kill. That trophy was reserved for David and it was evident in how none could attempt the assignment until he came. They had to wait until he whose right it is came. Despite the honey dripping prizes of Saul, yet no one was able to still risk it. That David agreed to fight Goliath didn't proceed from the flesh. It was a divine motivation of his will to go face him. Nothing natural of small David and his crude weapons would have loved to fight Goliath if not for a divine motivation. If you're not being propelled or inspired to do something hard (start ministry, found and plant churches, confront or declare etc) and you want to prove you have the training or skill to do it, it can kill you. All those soldiers had the training but they lacked the inspiration to see Goliath as a piece of meat to swallow. Inspiration is the push, the Spirit that urges on on the inside that no one sees yet assures His host victory. It's that same motivation that didn't let David see like others saw. They saw a giant. He was seeing a man that will have the destiny of the bear and lion he had killed. Yet, we knew Goliath isn't this cheap but at the end we could judge whether he was cheap or not.
Assignments could wait for years until the man God created to execute them is born, raised, equipped and sent to get it done. The assignment of Jesus saving the world waited like that - for years of years. Prophecies hinted at it [Isa.7:14, Matt.1:21, Micah 5:2]. The army was at a standstill until the divine hand moved Jesse to play his part in the script by sending David to the army. Naturally, God will equalize you with your assignment. There will be an inbuilt in you that can do whatsoever assignment that are your God-given assignments. Goliath was God given to David and was reserved for him until he comes whose right it is. This should comfort you that what you're called to do is reserved for you to discover and execute. Also, it should sound warning to you not to prey on an assignment that's not yours or else it'll prey on you. Know your measure. Your measure is your specific assignment and it's made known to you by the conviction through inspiration you'll have to face it even when others (of better skills, reputation, fame, age etc) flees from it.
PRAY: Lord, answer hovering and pending generational prayers of saints to raise deliverers for nations, people, tongue, communities, families. Raise a Saviour. Raise me as one.
