2 Samuel 5:6 “David and his men immediately set out for Jerusalem to take on the Jebusites, who lived in that country. But they said, “You might as well go home! Even the blind and the lame could keep you out. You can’t get in here!” They had convinced themselves that David couldn’t break through.”
2 Samuel 5:7 “But David went right ahead and captured the fortress of Zion, known ever since as the City of David.”(MSG)
Yes you can! Yes I can! Yes we can! A statement made popular by the present American president, Barack Obama, when he succeeded where many had failed. He succeeded in occupying what many refers to as the most powerful office on earth.
I titled this piece along this line just for you to know YOU CAN! I know you must have been in situations before, where nobody gave you a chance or perhaps you have given up on your dreams because somebody told you it is not possible. I have been there, I know how it feels, but I also know the thrills of proving them wrong! Friend, I want you to know you can do it. You can always prove them wrong.
In our focal scripture, the Jebusites told David point blank that he cannot break through! They were so emphatic about it. Well, you won’t blame them because they’ve got 500 years of history backing them up. Nobody in David’s lineage had performed such a feat before, for 500 years all that have attempted it failed.
The gist is this, there is always a first time and David made up his mind to be the first. He decided to rewrite history. Beloved, if David can do it, so can you!
It doesn’t matter what man says, as long as it is not what God said, you can always rewrite the story! David knew about the 500 years of recorded history, of the failures of his descendants but beyond that, he knew that earlier, that town was conquered by Joshua (read Joshua 11).
