Topic: ZERO TO HERO- GIDEON PART 1
Biblical Text: ‘ And the Lord looked upon him, and said, Go in this thy might, and thou shalt save Israel from the hand of the Midianites; have not I sent thee?” [Judges 6:14]
The children of Israel did evil in the sight of the Lord and He delivered them into the hands of the Midianites. The Midianites plundered their land until there was nothing left in the land of Israel. The Israelites cried unto the Lord, seeking forgiveness and he heard them. He promised to deliver them. But who did He choose? God did not choose someone from a wealthy family; He did not choose a well-known warrior. God chose Gideon. Gideon at the time God chose him was a zero! Gideon said, Lord, how can I lead the children of Israel, my family is poor and I am the least in my fathers house. The Lord told him, Son, I am not looking for someone that has a rich credentials, I will use you and take you from a zero to a hero. In making Gideon a hero, God told Gideon and his 300 chosen men to go to battle with the Midianites and Amalekites who had an army of over 135,000 soldiers. And God gave Gideon victory! Do not look down on yourself. One of the critical factors that made Gideon a hero was the sensitivity to hear the voice of God and the promptness to obey the instructions God gave him. When God told him not to go to battle with the 32,000 men he initially gathered, he obeyed. Even you, God can take you from the low position you presently occupy to the highest position in life if you can be sensitive to hear His voice and to obey Him.
KNOW IT ∞ Listen to the voice of God and obey Him so He can take you from zero to hero
READ IT ∞ Judges 7:7, 8:10, 8:28
PRAY IT ∞ Father, give me the grace to hear your voice and to obey you as you make me a hero.
