THE DEBORAH IN YOU: JUDGES 4 AND 5

WHO IS DEBORAH? Judges 4:4 (And Deborah, a Prophetess, the wife of Lapidoth, she judged Israel at time). She was a Prophetess (Woman of God) She was a Judge (A leader) She was the wife of Lapidoth (A successful home maker). Wow, what a woman. Judges 4:1-2 paraphrasing, (The Lord sold the children of Israel to their enemies because they did evil in His sight). They repented and cried unto the Lord for their deliverance. The Lord made Deborah Judge over Israel at that time and used her to deliver them from their oppressor. She was a woman of honor and of great strength. Even Barak, their greatest warrior as at that time acknowledge her strength. Judges 4:8-9(And Barak said unto her, if thou wilt go with me, then I will go: but if thou wilt not go with me, then I will not go. 9 And she said, I will surely go with thee: notwithstanding the journey that thou takest shall not be for thine honour; for the LORD shall sell Sisera into the hand of a woman. And Deborah arose, and went with Barak to Kedesh). I pray for the woman reading this message right now, May the Lord make you a worthy vessel for His use in Jesus name. WHAT AM I SAYING? (MY POINT) There is a Deborah in every woman. It is left for you to search, dig deep and let it come out. Don’t allow the society to bury your Deborah. Discriminations against women, being born a girl, your circumstances, or your background, should not stop you from being who you are destined to be. God made Deborah Judge over Israel and also gave her victory over their adversary. The same God created you and I and He has not changed. Hebrew 13:8(Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today and forever). He gave us someone to look up to in the bible as our role model (DEBORAH). She did not rule vicariously through anyone. She was their leader. A Judge in her time was like a king. Redemption has made us kings and priests to rule hear on earth. Rev 5:10 Deborah was a balanced leader, that’s what happens when you allow God to make you. In whatever area you are called, your profession or your area of endeavor. You are ordained to rule in whatever you do as a child of God. All you have to do is to allow Jesus to help you, empower you, guide you and give you the victory you deserve. You can start by letting Him into your life today as your Lord and saviour. Let God use that motherly instinct that he has deposited in you to raise a Deborah. Lord Jesus, I come to you today, I am a sinner, I cannot help myself, forgive me my sins, cleanse me with your precious blood. Deliver me from sin and Satan to serve the living God. Lord Jesus, I accept you as my Lord and saviour. Now I know, I am Born Again, I am free! Amen. #womanyouarefree www.womanuarefree.blogspot.com neneisahoc@gmail.com
