Coward or Warrior?

*HIS VOICE DEVOTIONAL*

 Topic : *Coward or Warrior?* 

 Text : Judges 6: 12 

Then the Angel of the Lord appeared to him and said : "The Lord is with you, mighty warrior_ .

 " God came to a frightened young man named Gideon. He obviously thought God was talking to someone else when the angel of the Lord called him mighty warrior! (Judges 6:12.) The Angel didn't say, "Oh, Coward, do you know you have strength?" The Angel just came in and announced what he saw, "Oh mighty man of war." In the spirit realm, you are addressed according to what has been deposited in you and not according to your circumstances or situations. When the angel said "you are a brave Warrior ," Gideon was actually separating some wheat from the chaff while trying to hide from the enemy. His position doesn't look like that of a brave man in anyway. God also saw in Peter what his parents, his friends, his colleagues and even Peter himself didn't see. He was named Simeon which means unstable, flaky leaf. But when Jesus saw Him, He said, "your name is Peter, which means Rock,(Stable). (John 1:42). Too often, we believe the lies we are told or the lies we live as against the truth that God said about us. Stop seeing yourself as a Coward, you are a Warrior. Whatever you are passing through is just a passage, it's not your destination. *You are the Image of God. You can't afford to accept anything less. Align with God to fulfill your destiny. You are everything He says you are* Bible Reading: Judges 6:1-40.

THE GOOD FIGHT-2

Text:  1 Timothy  6:12   Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. Another thing to pursue in fighting the good fight of faith is Godliness. We understand through the Holy scriptures that godliness is profitable unto all things.   *For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.* 1 Timothy  4:8.  You will reap the reward of your godliness not only when you get to heaven, but from here on earth. And this is why we are admonished to exercise ourselves unto godliness. (1 Timothy  4:7), because godliness with contentment is great gain.1 Timothy  6:6. Godliness is the practice of conforming to the image of God by reflecting the nature of the kingdom of God in the course of everyday life. In other words, godliness is living and portraying the nature of God here on earth.  2 Peter  1:

PRAYING MEN

Text : 1Timothy 2:8. I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting. God gave explicit instructions to all of His children as to how we must live our lives. Some of these instructions cut across boards, of which all of God's children must obey. However, there are some instructions that are specific to gender or portfolios. We we'll be looking at some of these instructions today.  *THE MEN* From our text, there are two distinct responsibilities God wants men to undertake, and the two are intertwined. First, God wants men to pray. The word  'men' as used in our text is not generic as to mean all human beings. It is specifically requesting that all men should pray. Yes, God expects every of His children to pray, but He specifically called men out here.  A number of times,  when prayer meetings are called, the proportion of women in attendance always outnumbered men. This is because the devil knows the import of praying men.

BE CALM & LISTEN-3

Text: 1 Kings 19:12 "...and after the earthquake a fire, [but] the LORD [was] not in the fire; and after the fire a still small voice" Prophet Elijah fled after he received the life threatening message from Jezebel, the wife of King Ahab, because he didn't keep himself calm before the Lord.  *Endeavouring to listen to God in difficult times is a major prerequisite to your deliverance.*  Are you faced with a life threatening situation like Prophet Elijah, the first and most important thing you need to do is: "Set yourself before the Lord for His still small voice."  *"You will be saved from many unwarranted troubles if only you will always maintain your calm before the Lord and listen to Him."*  After Prophet Elijah heard the still small voice, then the Lord asked him, "What are you doing here?" This question shows that Prophet Elijah had left his rightful location and God-given assignment.  The windstorm he saw, revealed that he has been blow
