  1. The Characteristic of unconquerableDavid (Acts 13:22)
  • God is not a respeter of tribe, nation, person, tittle or qualification etc (Acts 10:34),(Dan 1:8), (Dan 10:11)
  • What God did not found in Saul, He found it in David that is why God made His choice (1 Sam 13:13-14), (1 Sam 18:14-15).
  • God is still searching for those who will obey and do His will, no matter how ridiculous it may be and not self will, nor society will (1 Sam 15:20-21,24).
  • God searches in the tribes of Isreal and finally found David in tribe of Judah (Ps 78:68,70-72).
  • These are the qualification that God found in David which Saul lacked (Ps 78:72), (1 Kg 9:4), (1 Kg 15:5).
  • It was not David’s tittle, education, status, but his HEART of integrity.
  • God is after our heart (even devil also) Pro 4:23/Pro 23:7, 2 Chro 16:9, Pro 23:26
  • It was the heart of Eliab and others disqualified them from honour (1 Sam 16:6-10)
  • There is no eternal security for salvation and service eg. Saul                 (1 Sam 13:14), ( 1 Sam 15:23), ( Pro 13:13.
  • We need to seek for the mercy of God as David did and was forgiven and fully restored back to salvation and service (Ps 51), (Acts 13:34), (Isa 55:3)

  • David said Lord, I️ want to be in the centre of Your will, so that I️ will be unconquerable King (Ps 143: 10-12).
  • What makes David unconquerable: he always be in the centre of the will of God ( no fight, no victory, no test, no testimony, no challenge, no conqueror)
  1. The combatant against the unconquerable David
  • Goliath did not know David, but he knows the nation of Isreal as God’s people and want to destroy it (1 Sam 17:4, 8-10).
  • Satan is not fighting you, but fighting Jesus Christ that is in us and His church, that is why Satan is fighting you and me (1 Jn 4:4), ( 2 Tess 2:4).
  • Satan has seen/ taken Jesus as His enemy from the beginning and had fully prepared to fight Him to submission (Gen 3:15), (Matt 21,8, 13-14). There is time to flee and time to stand and confront the devil.
  • That is why he pushed the council of Sanhedrine to crucified Jesus on the Cross (1 Cor 2:8).
  • David stand for Isreal which Goliath was fighting and wanted to destroy David (1 Sam 17:43-44).
  • We must know/identity our enemy and not fighting shadow (1 Pt 5:8-9).
  • What Goliath want to do to David (1 Sam 17:44).
  • The Goliath of your life (devil) want to give your life to sickness, diseases, infirmities, failure, reproach, rejection etc, therefore put on the whole armour of God and resist him(Eph 6:10-13)
  • To be unconquerablelike David, we must put on the armour of God for battle, because this world is a place of cruelty (Ps 74:20).(Eph 6:10-13)
