We
have been able to establish in previous pages that the seed we carry is a major
determinant of our characters. We established that God shared His traits into
each of the animals He created while He put ALL in man. That is why a man can
pretend to be something he is not like the chameleon and also be bold like the
lion. And be as gentle as the Dove. But we will be looking at courage or
boldness as you may call it.
This
trait we see more in the lion. It never turns away from any. Today the lion is
tagged the king of the animal kingdom not because it is the most deadly but
because of its boldness. When Joshua was to step into Moses’ shoes as the
leader of Israel, He emphasized the place of courage like that was all it took
to lead, Deuteronomy 31v7, Joshua 1v6, 9.
Courage
is therefore the number one criteria towards the throne because there will
surely be oppositions. When you carry God’s seed, you carry God. Psalm 24v7-10
reads;
“Lift
up your heads, O ye gates: and be ye lifted up, ye everlasting doors and the
king of glory shall come in. Who is this King of glory?...”
You
can’t afford to live here on earth without the weapon of courage because the
devil will always roar at you even though he is powerless, 1Peter 5v8. He likes
to imitate the lion. But we have the courage, strength and stamina of the lion
put together. You can’t afford to be tossed around by the waves of happenings
around the world when you have what it takes to avert it.
Unfortunately,
people have lost contact with themselves so much that they are now only related
to or with by what they do and not who they are anymore. The animals understand
this truth. They know more about us than we are yet to discover ourselves. I
say unto you run towards your goliath and you will find his head rolling off.
