And David put his hand in his bag, and took thence a stone, and slang it, and smote the Philistine in his forehead, that the stone sunk into his forehead; and he fell upon his face to the earth.
1 Samuel 17: 49 -52 (KJV)
It is not easy to do exploits. There are many achievers to encourage us to do exploits. These achievers include; Micheal Faraday, the Wright brothers, Graham Bell. There are other inventors and others that did exploits of their own. Some have done exploits in their youths while others had done it at a much older age.
Some have had to go through downfalls but then they had risen above it. The great men who did exploits in their own little and great ways have all done it by running after and focusing on their passion.
There are many records of exploits in the bible. The exploits done at the red sea Exodus 15: 1&2. So many people have done exploits, from the little to the great. Moses, Abraham, Isaac, Noah, Jesus Christ, Apostle Paul, Peter, Daniel, Esther, Ruth, Deborah, Gideon, just to mention a few. The men and women were ordinary people who did extraordinary things because they knew their God.
Our text is about a young man who did great exploit in the land of Israel. David knew his God and won over Goliath. When David wanted to confront Goliath a lot of people have a lot of things to say. This are the things that happen when we are about to do exploits. When we are about to do exploits people say a lot of things to discourage us, they tell us every reason why it cant be done.
David went after his goal and focused only on that one thing. He placed his faith in God and in this confidence he went after that thing that stood in the way of his people. He was successful because he did not listen to the negative distractions that people posed but only on the words of God.
Are you ready to do exploits for God? If you are ready, you must be willing to step out of your comfort zones. David stepped out not because he is confronting Goliath but because in his own way many times he had stepped out when there was no one there to see him. Starting to do exploit is what we do when people are not seeing you.
The power of God is what we should desire and covet, without the power of God it impossible to do exploits. There is nothing we can do outside of this.
You cannot do exploits without expanding your mind without thinking big. In Daniel 11: 32 it says that “ they that know their God will do exploits”. It is very difficult to know someone without been intimate with them, without being friend with the person. Therefore if you want to do exploit you need to be friend with God.
To do exploit we need to understand that it is for God to bring glory to his name and not for man.
The Lord wants us to step out our comfort zone. Let us start our exploit with doing the little things that will be of great benefit to the people around us.
