1 Chronicles 11

Nov 10, 2022 • Pastor Daryl Zachman

“And David became more and more powerful, because the LORD of Heaven’s Armies was with him.” (1 Chronicles 11:9, NLT)

Power is an essential ingredient for leadership. No one wants to follow a weak leader, for in a battle that could be a death sentence! People are attracted to a leader who is strong, confident and courageous. David was all this and more. David was humble. He knew where his strength came from.

“It is God who arms me with strength and makes my way perfect. He makes my feet like the feet of deer and sets me on my high places. He teaches my hands to make war, so that my arms can bend a bow of bronze.” (Psalm 18:32–34, NKJV)

David was powerful because the LORD was with him, and the LORD was with David because he was humble, and he trusted in the LORD.

Would you like more power for your life and ministry? Then be strong in the LORD.

“Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.” (Ephesians 6:10–11, NKJV)

We are in a spiritual battle, and we need all the help we can get. We need the God of Heaven’s Armies to be on our side!

Pray the above quote from Psalm 18 and make it your prayer. Change every “He” to “You” and believe it! Then thank Him for being with you to help you stand against every device of the devil.
