VALIANT WARRIOR

Text : Judges 6:12. 

The angel of the LORD appeared to him and told him, “The LORD is with you, you valiant warrior!”

God called Gideon a valiant warrior because that is who he was destined to be, but he didn't see himself in that light at all.

Like Gideon, many of us are fed up with the evil that surround us, yet it hasn't occurred to us that the miracle we have been praying for already lies within us.

You can always tell the size of a man's greatness by the size of problem that comes his way. But a man's victory is not determined by his size but by his understanding of his true identity.

David was able to kill Goliath not because he was bigger than Goliath in size, but he was way bigger than Goliath in heart, and because he had a true understanding of who he was.

David told the Philistine, “You come at me with a sword, a spear, and a javelin, but I come to you in the name of the LORD of the Heavenly Armies, the God of the armies of Israel whom you have defied.1 Samuel 17:45.

David knew he carried with him the Lord of the  the heavenly armies, and he did wonders because of this understanding. This is the same consciousness that God opened the eyes of Gideon to, and this is same consciousness that God wants to open you up to.

When God was seeing a valiant warrior in Gideon, he was busy using his family background to judge and limit himself.
The LORD looked straight at Gideon and told him, “Go and deliver Israel from Midian’s domination. I’ve directed you, haven’t I?”Judges 
6:14.

Gideon responded. “Sir, how will I deliver Israel? Look—my family is the weakest in Manasseh, and I’m the youngest in my father’s household.” Judges 6:15.

A number of times, you use your background, family history, past mistakes or failures and physical inadequacies to limit God's operations in your life.

Gideon was referred to as a valiant warrior because God was with him, and when he accepted this truth, he did recorded unimaginable victory for Isreal. 

In as much as God is with you, you are a valiant warrior. You will conquer nations and you will do exploits. Go in this might and walk in the dominion that Christ has won for you.

The Lord is saying to you this year, *rise up and fulfill His mandate upon your life, because the Lord is with you, Valiant warrior.* 

 *Bible reading:*

 Judges 6:1-26.

 *PRAYER FOCUS*

Father, I receive the grace to rise up as a valiant warrior knowing well that you are with me always.

IT IS WRITTEN AGAIN

Text: Matthew 4:6. He told Jesus, “Since you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, because it is written,   ‘God will put his angels in charge of you,’ and,   ‘With their hands they will hold you up, so that you will never hit your foot against a rock.’ Jesus knocked devil off with "it is written" when he came to him with the first temptation. So, the devil too decided to use "it is written" for Jesus for the second temptation.  Don't be deceived, the devil knows the scriptures too. Second Corinthians 11:14 says,  "Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light." So, it's no surprise when you see Satan's messengers masquerading themselves as Apostle of Christ. 2 Corinthians 11:14.  The word of God is perfect. Yet, many people can twist it to their advantage and ultimately to their disadvantage. A drunk, smoker, fornicator, liar and all sort can justify their sinful lifestyles with a Bible verse. See to it that you do not twist the word of Go...

WHEN GOD IS SILENT(2)

Text: Matthew 4:1  *Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.*  We saw yesterday that God was not pleased with many israelites that left Egypt for the promised land  (Corinthians 10:5).  A good percentage of the Israelites were overthrown in the wilderness.   Wilderness experience is not what any child of God desires, but it is an experience God sends or allows his children go through. In Deuteronomy 8:2, God says that He *LED* the Isrealites through the wilderness for forty years to humble them, to prove them, and to know what was in their heart whether they would keep his commandments or not.  Our Lord Jesus Christ was also *LED* into the wilderness by the Spirit of the Lord to be tempted by the devil. You will  notice there is a similar feature of the number *40(forty)* between these two wilderness experiences. That is, that of the Israelites and our Lord Jesus Christ. The Israelites spent 40years, Jesu...

GULLIBLE BUT INTELLIGENT

Text : Mat 25:31-32  *When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:*   *And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:*  Have you ever wondered why Jesus compared His followers to sheep and not goats?  Sheep has reputation for being stupid, defenceless and harmless creatures that mope about on hillsides doing not very much. They are good for two things: being eaten and producing wool. According to a study by Keith Kendrick, he said in reality, Sheep are actually surprisingly intelligent, with impressive memory and recognition skills. They build friendships, stick up for one another in fights, and feel sad when their friends are  sent to slaughter. The truth is that sheep are far smarter than we know., All these reasons and more are the basis for Jesus' comparism of His followers with sh...
