WHO WILL BELL THE CAT?
I Samuel 17:25, KJV
"And the men of Israel said, Have ye seen this man that is come up? surely to defy Israel is he come up: and it shall be, that the man who killeth him, the king will enrich him with great riches, and will give him his daughter, and make his father's house free in Israel."
GOD do put names on assignments. Specific people, specific assignments. Why is it difficult for any to attempt the Goliath project until David shows up? Yet it took forty days. Even the unprepared or yet decided could have decided. The challenge went viral and created a nightmare for all on the battle field yet none could attempt it. Something hidden being the reason is very much there.
Brethren, if it is for you, God will preserve it for you. There's a place of "none will break rank (Joel 2:7)." As long as you're in peace with God, and in all conscience ready for God's will to be done, you'll always meet it. The Goliath project became "who will bell the cat?" Not at the start when Goliath first came out but after none including Saul could offer himself to go purge Israel of the shame. It was then the king set a price that whosoever purges the shame off Israel shall be greatly rewarded with a wife, riches and his family free from taxing in Israel. You'll still think somebody would be able to attempt it for the coveting of the prize? That even makes it hard. Such price set on Goliath exaggerates his mightiness in the sight of all. So, until David came, they were all in search of one person, "he who will bell the cat." It is not every person that God has given the revelation and conviction to get a task done to. If it doesn't enters your mind at all, it's not even your colony. If it does and it's not clear to you, you can't discharge it. God uses these and many ways to call each of us where He'll like us settle - where He needs men to be beneficial to mankind. All of us can't go and cluster in one profession. We aren't ants. We don't do what sells, we do destiny which has been left in our core or created with us. Each of us would have where God wants us colonize because of God's allocation of assignments and destinies to us. I read of a nineteen years old who created a Block chain that early and even had to drop out of school because he was crazily sought after and couldn't maintain schooling with his job. At nineteen, he's in high esteem like any adult professional. At such age, he was sponsoring an elder brother of his studying overseas and covering multitude of bills which ranges from touring the world on his own to doing jobs and attending great lessons. I coveted having being seriously made like him. God told me, "you're made. Where each of you excels is what is different. While he is being noised in the cryptocurrency, Block chain world, you're finding usefulness in my hands in ministry. It was then I even remembered that I had started earlier like him also and at that age he struck it, I had been going about my Father's business as well very well. However, the mind of anyone could be deceived to say, "what about his fame? Did you have that?" God told me, "some things are reproachful to men. They don't easily win their recognition but as you persist in it, I'll draw all men to myself."
Brethren, God has placed usefulness for each of us somewhere. There's a place where rising and becoming a star is easier for us all. It shows David would be greater than Saul seeing what he began achieving at a tender age than Saul in the same field. It's like where Saul ended it was where David would begin from. No matter how covetous you may be, you can't break rank to go and find value where God destined your friend finds. You may covet what he's becoming, just be careful not to get distracted away from your own area of grace where God has good thoughts for you too. Here's David, it is his to bell the cat. Though he was not brought to battle, neither a soldier, neither given hearing by Eliab nor refined with the latest weapons, he still did the job succinctly. You see, there's a grace for success wherever God tags with us that each of us succeeds. I tell you that if any warrior of Israel had gone to confront Goliath that day, they'll have embalmed his body. What is challenge to those not called to a thing is nothing to the man God destined to get the job done. That cryptocurrency boy can't write the devotional I'm writing also. It ain't his allocation nor his geography. I pray for you that you'll not become a fool wanting to be everywhere. That you won't begin to compare yourself with others because some are finding early obvious achievements. I pray that you'll face front, add diligence to your quarters of calling and see how where you'll be great where you've been placed you'll effortlessly bell your cat. All of us are created for achievement and profit, where and when we'll take it is what is different. If you've began, stay there. David himself didn't stop training with the sling and stone because he saw his brothers using sword. Let God's natural process graduates you.
PRAYER: Lord, I face front. I receive contentment and commitment. As a man fitted for my task, I submit to discharge to the later.
