The Bible tells us that Israel was very unhappy because of Midian, and the children of Israel cried out to the Lord.
The children of Israel had forgotten the signs and wonders that the Lord had worked among them as they went out of Egypt.
But because the Lord is merciful, he heard the cries of the Israelites.
Then an angel of the Lord came and sat under the oak of Ophrah, which belonged to Joash, of the family of Abiezer. Gideon, his son, was threshing wheat in the winepress to keep it safe from Midian.
The angel of The LORD appeared to him and said, “The LORD is with you, you mighty man of valor!
Gideon said to him, “Oh, my lord, if The LORD is with us, why have all these things happened to us? And where are all these wonders that our fathers tell us about, when they say, “Didnt the LORD bring us up out of Egypt? Now the LORD has forsaken us and given us into the hands of Midian. The LORD turned to him and said, "Go with your strength and deliver Israel out of the hand of Midian; have I not sent you? Gideon said to him, "Ah, my lord, with what shall I deliver Israel? Behold, my family is the poorest in Manasseh, and I am the least in my father
s house.
The Lord said to him, “But I will be with you, and you will defeat Midian as one man.
Gideon said to him: If I have found favour in your eyes, give me a sign to show that it is you who are speaking to me.
Beloved, here was Gideon, a man who had no future according to his background,
He didn’t believe that the blessing could stop in his family, he was astonished to know that it was his family first and then he who was chosen for the deliverance of Israel.
No one had envisaged that he could have a glorious destiny,
no one had foreseen that he could be Judge in Israel.
Gideon was a nonchalant, timid person,
no authority,
no charisma,
no personality,
no vision, but he was God’s joker.
It was in him that the Lord had shown favour,
he was the one who bore the blessing.
So why do we refuse to believe in our recovery?
Our prosperity?
Our blessing?
Our healing?
Our restoration?
To our elevation?
What does our life look like today?
Have we fallen into the ravine?
Are we at the bottom of the abyss?
Are we in a tunnel and have we lost hope?
Do we seriously think that it’s all over for us?
Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever.
God wants to make us a source of blessing for the nations and for generations.
1 Samuel 2:8 – From the dust he raises the poor, From the dunghill he raises the needy, To make them sit with the great. For the pillars of the earth are the Lord`s, and on them he has set the world.
Pray for an admirable progression in your life.
What nailed us to the ground?
God has the solution to all our problems.
He himself says that the last shall be first.
He gives grace to whomever he wants, no matter who we are,
whatever our age, our race,
what part of the world we’re in,
it all depends on the time and the circumstances.
When the time is right,
we go from glory to glory and prosperity is at our doorstep.
It was the Lord who took Mephibosheth from Lodebar to sit at King David’s table.
It was the Lord who fetched Joseph from prison to install him as interim pharaoh in Egypt.
It was the Lord who took Jephthah from where he was staying with the people of nothing to make him head of his tribe and judge in Israel.
The terminator is that Jesus descended into hell like an ordinary person, but he resurrected with the keys of life,
of victory and became King of kings.
Do we think that there is no more hope?
That it’s no longer possible?
We want to tell ourselves that it is still possible to bounce back.
It’s the Lord who makes destinies shine, it’s he who changes stories,
He’s always the one who breaks with protocol to put us on top.
So we invite ourselves to remain attached to the one who bears the blessing, the Vine.
Greetings friends
May the glory return to the Lord
Good day to you
