And Saul said to him (David),whose son art thou...? And David answered I am the son of thy servant JESSE the Bethlehemite. 1 Sam.17:58
Let me quickly draw out 3 important things to deliberate on from the above text: Sonship, fatherhood and nationhood of David. These three factors work together to bring about how great an individual will be!
David was the youngest of the eight sons of Jesse, he was far less, and too young to be enlisted into the army of Israel. He was confined to the wilderness only to tend and feed his father's sheep. Earlier in verse 28 of the chapter under review, his elder brother, Eliab rebuked him and questioned his presence at the war front! Yet this was the boy who was supposed to be the deliverer of Israel
I am a son of Jesse! Meaning? GIFT, WEALTHY. I am a son of a Wealthy Gift. I came as a gift to you and the entire nation of Israel! I am an offshoot of wealth, I am here to make you wealthy. That is who you are!
I came from Bethlehem--- house of bread! Whatever hardship, starvation or economic downtown you are facing I have come to bring an end to them!
Whose child are you? Who is your father and from what city? The greatest pride one can have is to be a child of the most powerful, most influential and wealthiest in a given locality. Whose child are you? .... But as many as received him(Jesus) to them gave he power to become the child of God John1:12.
Are you a child of God? You can be one now by accepting Jesus as your Lord and Saviour. He came as a gift to save humanity from Satan's affliction. As David delivered Israel from the hands of the Philistines and Goliath so can you. The entire world around you are waiting for your manifestation. Are you ready?
