2 Samuel 21:15 KJV

"Moreover the Philistines had yet war again with Israel; and David went down, and his servants with him, and fought against the Philistines: and David waxed faint. And Ishbi-benob, which was of the sons of the giant…he being girded with a new sword,  thought to have slain David.” – 2 Samuel 21:15-16 (KJV)

🔥 #EXHORTATION

  Good morning beloved!

  Every new season introduces new battles, and every new level demands new weapons. When God moves you forward, the enemies you face also change. In 2 Samuel 21:16, David encountered a new giant with a new sword — a battle different from the ones he fought before.

  Yesterday’s victories do not guarantee today’s safety if you refuse to upgrade your capacity. The stone that killed Goliath was not enough to kill  Ishbi-benob. David needed new weapon, new strength, new support, and new strategy to upgrade but he relied on expired experience.

  Hear this truth clearly:

  ■ New levels attract new battles, and new battles demands new strategy.

  ■ To rely on experience and routine alone  is to be unprepared. Train and upgrade..

  ■ Assumption is a negative  risk. Dont be caught unprepared like Sampson. .

         ■ Time is going; chance is competitive; change is permanent.  Don't be caught unawares. 

  ■ New seasons call for new swords (weapons).

  New swords refers to new training, new insight, new authority, new mentality,  new wisdom, new strength, and new grace. When God promote you He expects you to upgrade yourself and arsenal to match the new season. Your good of last year might not be good enough this year. Strive to get better. This generation are getting wiser, so shine brighter and burn hotter.

   Beloved, this season, you will not be unarmed. You will not be unprepared. You will not be outmatched.  God is calling you into new dimensions of spiritual authority, insight, prayer power, and wisdom. Don’t fear the new battles — they are proof that you have entered a new level. Get new swords. If you don't,  the new is coming with new swords.
