DIVINELY SECURED VICTORY

1^2T ,MARCH 2022

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: 2 Corinthians 1-4

TEXT: JUDGES 7:9-15

9 It happened on the same night that the Lord said to him, “Arise, go down against the camp, for I have delivered it into your hand. 

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

11 and you shall hear what they say; and afterward your hands shall be strengthened to go down against the camp.” Then he went down with Purah his servant to the outpost of the armed men who were in the camp. 

12 Now the Midianites and Amalekites, all the people of the East, were lying in the valley as numerous as locusts; and their camels were without number, as the sand by the seashore in multitude.

13 And when Gideon had come, there was a man telling a dream to his companion. He said, “I have had a dream: To my surprise, a loaf of barley bread tumbled into the camp of Midian; it came to a tent and struck it so that it fell and overturned, and the tent collapsed.”

14 Then his companion answered and said, “This is nothing else but the sword of Gideon the son of Joash, a man of Israel! Into his hand God has delivered Midian and the whole camp.”

15 And so it was, when Gideon heard the telling of the dream and its interpretation, that he worshiped. He returned to the camp of Israel, and said, “Arise, for the Lord has delivered the camp of Midian into your hand.”

KEY VERSE: JUDGES 7:14

“And his fellow answered and said, This is nothing else save the sword of Gideon the son of Joash, a man of Israel: for into his hand hath God delivered Midian, and all the host.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:

A man or woman of faith is a conqueror.

THE MESSAGE:

To be guided by God is one of man's greatest privileges. It was heart-warming, comforting and reassuring for Gideon who had experienced the humiliations Israel suffered in the hands of the Midianites, and who himself had a depressing feeling of inadequacy, to hear God speak to him in a night vision saying, "...Arise, get thee down unto the host (of the Midianites); for I have delivered it into thine hand".

God is ready to guide us in all life battles if we are ready to follow His leading like Gideon. With a limited number of soldiers, this inexperienced military leader of God's army was led into battle against a formidable host of an enemy nation that had oppressed Israel for more than seven years. To be assured of victory against his foes, Gideon demanded for several proofs from God, which were graciously granted him.

This underscores the place of enquiring from God regarding issues of private and public concerns as believers. Praying to God to obtain answers, divine guidance or assistance should be basic before we undertake any task, whether secular or spiritual. Gideon followed divine instructions diligently and the result of this attitude to God was the resounding successes he had in his encounter with the Midianites. The Lord helped him marvellously until his enemies were completely defeated.

We can enjoy a lifelong record of victories if we make the Lord our Guide and Help. We must also be faithful to His commands and manifest faith for daily victorious life.

DO HAVE A BLESSED DAY
