David could not go to battle with the armour of Saul because he had not proved them. He recalled how he killed a lion and a bear in the past with the armour of faith. He believed that the same God that delivered him from the lion and the bear could do it again. Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, and today and forever.

King Ahab with the help of his wife Jezebel had killed Naboth that he may take possession of Naboth's vineyard. Because of this evil the Lord sent Prophet Elijah to Ahab, to pronounce judgment against his house. On hearing the message of the Lord as declared by the man of God, Ahab responded with humility which attracted the mercy of God. The penalty of Ahab's sin was delayed because of his humility. 

Sin deceives; therefore, it is needful to remind ourselves daily about the warnings in the Scriptures and remain watchful. We cannot afford to be careless with our Christian life because many in the past and in contemporary times have been and are being deceived out of the straight narrow way. Be not deceived: the consequence of sin is death and whatsoever a man sows that shall he also reap. A little sin has the power to damn your soul in hell.

What is having your attention? Is it God or the unpleasant situations in your life? God commands us to look unto Him for salvation from sin, and deliverance from satanic oppression and all manner of sickness and disease. Your challenges are magnified when you set your focus on them. On the other hand, looking unto Jesus magnifies Him to reveal more of His majesty, power, glory and love. With your eyes on Jesus, you are sure to be victorious in the battles of life.

There are two contrary spiritual laws in operation and you are either under one regime or the other. They are the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus and the law of sin and death: the former sets one free from the latter. We are saved by grace through faith in Christ Jesus that the law of sin and death may no longer have dominion over us. This grace of God that brings salvation teaches us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world.
