In life, we often encounter individuals who seem to possess an almost uncanny confidence, facing challenges head-on without apparent fear. This audacity is not inherent; it is derived from profound spiritual encounters.
For instance, standing before a giant like Goliath or confronting Pharaoh with the demand for the exodus of millions requires more than human courage—it necessitates a divine encounter.

Facing Giants on Your Mountain
Every significant endeavour or destiny comes with its own set of formidable challenges—giants that must be confronted and overcome. There is no mountain in destiny that is devoid of giants. The twelve spies sent to Canaan reported that the land flowed with milk and honey but was inhabited by giants, the Anakim. Only two men, Caleb and Joshua, saw beyond these giants, emboldened by their faith in God.
To effectively confront the giants on your path, whether in ministry, business, or personal pursuits, one must have an experience with God. Such encounters grant the boldness and audacity needed to navigate and conquer these challenges.
“God’s promises come with giants, and the ability to dispossess them is rooted in the confidence that stems from divine encounters,” states Apostle Joshua Selman.
Encounters by the Word
The primary type of encounter necessary for those aiming to achieve exploits for God is through the Word. This is not a one-time event but a continuous process. 1 Samuel 3:21 states, “And the Lord appeared again in Shiloh: for the Lord revealed himself to Samuel in Shiloh by the word of the Lord.” God can reveal Himself through His Word, imparting wisdom, power, and favour.
Scripture is more than historical documentation; it contains hidden light and revelation that only becomes apparent through diligent seeking and divine illumination. This process involves searching the Scriptures until specific revelations pertinent to one’s destiny emerge. Jesus Himself exemplified this by finding the place where it was written concerning Him (Luke 4).
The Power of Light from Scripture
Revelation from Scripture is not merely about acquiring knowledge but about uncovering the wisdom and power embedded within. Ephesians 1:17-18 highlights the importance of the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of God. This deeper understanding transforms mere biblical knowledge into actionable, transformative insights.
“Encountering light from Scripture can dramatically change one’s life and ministry,” says Apostle Selman. “It involves seeing beyond the text to the divine messages tailored for individual destinies.” For instance, Galatians 2:2 speaks to rising by revelation—an insight that, once revealed, becomes a personal ladder for spiritual and practical advancement.
Practical Implications of Scriptural Encounters
When the Spirit opens the eyes of your understanding, you gain insights into your calling and the inheritance available to you in Christ (Ephesians 1:18). Such revelations are not merely for intellectual satisfaction but for practical application in overcoming life’s challenges.
Consider the story of Hagar in the desert. Despite the presence of an oasis, she could not see it until God opened her eyes (Genesis 21:19). Similarly, the treasures and solutions we seek in life are often hidden until divine revelation brings them to light.

Conclusion
The journey to confronting and conquering the giants of your destiny begins with deep, ongoing encounters with God through His Word. This process involves more than reading; it is about seeking divine light and revelation that transform knowledge into powerful, actionable insights.
As Apostle Selman emphasises, “As you engage with Scripture, may the Spirit of God illuminate your path, embolden your heart, and guide you to fulfil your divine destiny with the confidence and authority that comes from Him.”
