BREAKING THE RULES

EVEN A LAITY CAN BE TRIUMPHANT.

For sometimes now i have been wondering and imagining how a laity can be so triumphant.

But I have soon discover that the secret lies in breaking the rules. Doing the unimaginable.

I have been studying the story of David and Goliath.

I am sure the story sounds so familair ,that you can even narrate the whole scenario as acted in screen plays and aminamations over the years.

However I took time out to learn and look objectively into this story, and I stumbled on some amazing facts I believe are worth sharing.

David happens to be the last born in a family of six children.

David is an hard working lad , who spares time out to sheperd his fathers flock while grazing.

Three of his brothers were in the army , fighting and defending the countrys terrritory.

David while watching over his fathers sheep in the forest encountered seemly insourmontable challenges that ordinarily would scare off a coward from being a sheperd the rest of his life.

David has on different occasions slew a lion and a bear.

What a courageous young man David is! A LION? A BEAR?

Sounds so scary even to me!

The killing of the lion and the bear to David then was just a challenge that confronted him while going about his daily activities.

Remember David could have chosen to run away at the sight of the lion back then in the forest.

And again a Bear came up. Thats quite tormenting in the forest for a young man like David.

After slaying the bear am sure if it were some other folks , they would have ignored the forest and the sheeps.

We have a lesson emphatically pronounced from the life of David here, David understood that challenges and set backs are unavoidable ,but they are temporal.

David had victory over the lion and the bear. 

What is symbolic to the lion and the bear in your life?

Do you run at the sight of their similitude or you wait to confront and defeat them?

On a fatefull day, David was sent by his father to visit his three brothers at the battle front. On getting there, David saw the blasphemy of the man who has been a warrior from his youth.

David was provoked and volunteered to battle with Goliath . His brothers were angry and threatened to send him home.

But David being a couragous young man sought to meet the king.

On meeting the king, the king doubted Davids ability to confront the philistine stating clearly that he has been a warrior from his youth and David has never been to a battle field.

David then immediately digged into his reserve. He then brought out his Capital . 

What was David's CAPITAL?

His capital was his past experiences of killing the Lion and the Bear.

This capital proved to be enough to be buy the kings Trust.

He got the kings permission to go and  fight onbehalf of the whole country. Knowing fully that once he his defeated the whole country is gone.

WHAT A RISK?

What a great investment and risk the king has taken to believe in a youth like David who has not fought a battle before, but has killed a Lion and a Bear.

David fought that battle and offcourse you and I know that he won and the country won.

WHAT THEN IS YOUR CAPITAL?

DO YOU CHICKEN OUT IN THE FACE OF CHALLENGES OR YOU CONFRONT THEM TO DEFEAT THEM?

You must rise up and face your fears squarely, because you never can tell when your Little experiences will count as a Huge capital to catapualt you to where you desire.

Never stop trying, just stay focused and in a while your little experiences will be the required CAPITAL for your big dream. 

Remember the catch is in breaking the rules. Doing the seemly impossible task. Coming out of your hiding place to face your wosrt fears. 

And soon the world will celebrate you.

Lets go a step higher. YES WE CAN!
