“And the king and his men went to Jerusalem against the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land, who said to David, “You will not come in here, but the blind and the lame will ward you off”

2 Sam 5: 6

 

“The inhabitants of Jebus said to David, “You will not come in here.”

……  David took the stronghold of Zion, that is, the city of David.

David said, “Whoever strikes the Jebusites first shall be chief and commander.”

1 Chr 11: 4-6

 

 

So David was in dire straits. He had just been anointed King of Israel and needed a central location to live as King. He chose Jebus to live in, but no sooner had he arrived when he was met with hostility at the gates, ‘you will not come in here’

 

THOUGHTS: Have you ever wanted something so badly but denied easy access?

Maybe arrived but was not celebrated and was told bluntly; ‘You can’t come in’ ‘There is no vacancy here’ ‘There are no spaces left’ ‘you’re not welcome’ ‘There is no room’ ‘We don’t want you here’

What do you do when you want IT, but THEY don’t want to give in to your demands without a fight?

 

David had a problem, a task and a challenge. A demand had been put on him and on his life.

Someone once said that ‘If it’s important you will find a way and if not, you’ll find an excuse that suits you’

“You will not come in here, but the blind and the lame will ward you off” According to ancient scholars, this was the enemy boasting of its powers and abilities. This saying meant that they trusted their strongholds. Their fortress was so formidable that they only needed the blind and lame at the gates. They were beating their chests in open disdain of David and his men.

 

PRAYER: Oh Lord every power and principality ridiculing you as God in my life, let them be put to shame in Jesus name.

Lord I pull down every stronghold and high thing that exalts itself against the name of God in my life today.

Every power boasting of itself as God over my life, my home, business, career, ministry, health and marriage, let them begin to receive the wrath of God and be disgraced today in Jesus name.

O Lord, show me a way to enter the City of my Harvest in Jesus name.

O Lord Release wisdom to me, that would enable me overcome and receive my heart’s desires in Jesus name

 

David looked around him and put up his own Olympics for his team. He designed his own rewards. He put up his own medals and set up his own contests.

“Whoever strikes the Jebusites first shall be chief and commander.”

David set up a DO IT and GET IT CONTEST….

He wanted it so badly that he was prepared to give away whatever it takes; time, energy, money, rewards….

What will get you out of bed each morning to chase your dream?

 

ACTION: What do you have to GIVE to MAKE you who you truly want to be?

What do you NEED to DO to become WHAT you have always wanted to be?

What is to GIVE, to GET YOU what you WANT? ; Time? Sleep? Money? Energy?

 

“Nevertheless  David took the stronghold of Zion, that is, the city of David.”

May you take every hold that is strong and holding you back from your dreams, life, marriage, Health, ministry in Jesus name. Amen.
