This is Namma for Christ with the two
hundred ninety-seventh inspirational message dated Monday, December 1st, 2025.
The title of this message is “Testimony – 1st Samuel 17:37 – THIS
EXPERIENCE IS PREPARING YOU”.
The first word of this message’s title
is also the same word of the title of
the below anointed song/video, “Testimony (with lyrics)” as performed by
Christian artist Terrian.
The below passage of scripture (that accompanies this
message) is from the thirty-seventh verse of the seventeenth chapter of First
Samuel:
1st Samuel 17:37
New King James Version - (NKJV)
37 Moreover David said, “The Lord, who delivered me from the paw of
the lion and from the paw of the bear, He will deliver me from the hand of this
Philistine.”
And
Saul said to David, “Go, and the Lord be
with you!”
The scripture text of “this”
message was taken from the “same” scripture text that I read on (November 30th,
2025) in my daily devotional book entitled:
“The Word for You Today”.
The inspirational message I read on November 30th,
2025, was titled – “THIS EXPERIENCE IS PREPARING YOU”. I knew that it was a
reminder that I wanted to share in my next message in my “Namma for Christ”
blog. I hope you find (some of the excerpts) as inspirational
as I did:
THIS EXPERIENCE IS PREPARING YOU
1st Samuel
17:37
Every experience in
our past has prepared us for some future opportunity. God doesn’t redeem only
our souls. He also redeems our experiences, both good and bad. He does it by
refining our character, developing our gifts, and teaching lessons that we
can’t learn any other way. We learn the most important lessons in the classroom
of life through firsthand experience. The tests are challenging, but no
curriculum is more effective. And how you pass the test is by growing in
character, developing the gift, or learning the lesson God is trying to teach
you through that experience. God is at work in your life. He is helping you get
ready for your date with destiny. And He is doing it in ways that are practically
imperceptible (impossible to perceive).
David realized that slaying the lion and the bear prepared him to bring down
Goliath. And it’s not until you face your biggest challenge that God identifies
how, when, and where He prepared you. That’s when you realize that the battle
was won long before you stood on the battlefield. It was necessary for Moses to
tend sheep for forty years before he could lead the flock of Israel. The
disciples had to fish for fish before they could fish for men. A time of
preparation precedes every divine appointment. And if we surrender to the
preparation, God will execute His promise. If we don’t, He won’t. This is
because God never sets us up to fail. The time you spend in the shadows is
preparing you for the time when you will be in the limelight. The time you
spend on the sidelines is preparing you to be on the front lines – and win.
I pray that you have
