‎Get up! For the Lord has given you victory!

‎Hi family,

‎It's another day and our Father has already has a meal prepared. It is a joy to know that the Lord understands our needs and sees the troubles we face. Sometimes these troubles are promotions in disguise.

‎They are leading you in a specific direction. Yes, tell God about the trouble, lay your heart before him and make sure to ask this question: "Lord what is the purpose of this problem?"

‎And begin to ask yourself meaningful questions not doubtful questions. Let the Holy Spirit guide you. Suddenly you receive a download on the next step and the strategy. Actually this is my testimony and it will be yours to. It may seem like it's your own thoughts but remember the Lord has planted His will in your heart.

‎Let's give thanks:

‎Father, we love everything you do for us, how intentional you are and the support, covering, special attention you give to us. We say thank you for today's bread and for calling us your own, Amen.

‎Let's break bread:

‎Today we are in the book of Judges. Amongst the judges of Israel, there is a story of a particular judge called Gideon. Before he became a judge. He saw himself as least and lacking in their ability to make change.

‎He was in the process of threshing his wheat harvest at the bottom of a wine press then an angel visits him and calls him a Mighty Hero (NLT version).

‎I want to point out that he was hiding his harvest from the enemy kingdoms who liked to come and steal their crops. The people were under opression. He was able to do the impossible with the most unlikely resources.

‎He's able to harvest and thresh wheat in a resource meant for wine. Now he is given the opportunity to free his people, but Gideon is a bit afraid.

‎Currently in Judges chapter seven, the Lord has reduced the size of Israel's army to 300 men. Who are to fight an army as numerous as the sea sand, too many to count.

‎**NLT Version**

‎Judges 7:7

‎The Lord told Gideon, "With these 300 men I will rescue you and give you victory over the Midianites. Send all the others home."

‎Judges 7:9-11

‎9That night the Lord said, "Get up! Go down into the Midianite camp, for I have given you victory over them!

‎10 But if you are afraid to attack, go down to the camp with your servant Purah.

‎11 Listen to what the Midianites are saying, and you will be greatly encouraged. Then you will be eager to attack." So Gideon took Purah and went down to the edge of the enemy camp.

‎Judges 7:13-15

‎13 Gideon crept up just as a man was telling his companion about a dream. The man said, "I had this dream, and in my dream a loaf of barley bread came tumbling down in the Midianite camp. It hit a tent, turned it over, and knocked it flat!"

‎14 His companion answered, "Your dream can mean only one thing God has given Gideon son of Joash, the Israelite, victory over Midian and all its allies!"

‎15 When Gideon heard the dream and it's interpretation, he bowed in worship before the Lord. Then he returned to the Israelite camp and shouted, "Get up! For the Lord has given you victory over the Midianite hordes!"

‎Let's pray:

‎Father we thank you for your strength to fight and keep pushing forward. Ignite a passion in us. Let the fire blaze into an offering of praise, Amen.

‎If you want to have a relationship with Jesus, to know him for yourself say with me:

‎Dear Jesus, come into my heart, I make you my Lord and Saviour, I repent of my sins, I believe you died on the cross to reconcile me back to God, I receive your love and new life, Amen.

‎Get up! For the Lord has given you victory!
