We must be careful not to undersell ourselves. All of us have undersold what God has put in us for appointments and we have kept our mouths shut because we have focused on our individual value without consideration for what God has put in us. David’s brothers only considered him as their bothersome little brother when they told him to go back home and tend to those few sheep. Thank God he did not limit himself to the considerations his brothers limited him to. It was evident, when he faced Goliath, where David’s considerations were: “And David said to the Philistine, You come to me with a sword and with a spear and with a javelin. But I come to you in the name of Jehovah of Hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied.” (1Sa 17:45) Goliath came against David with only consideration of who he was within himself but David came against Goliath with only consideration of who God was in him.

I believe the Kingdom advances when sons of God take ground. Taking ground is overcoming darkness with Light. Taking ground is seeing God’s will prevail over opposition and contradiction. That might sound more like a majestic movie script than a reachable reality, or more like a mission for a religious hero, or a quest for a theological giant; but actually it is a matter of God’s original intent in the “Dominion Mandate” and that mandate is doable.
