THE WARRIOR QUEEN: JUDGES 4 AND 5

Sequel to our previous episode, titled “THE DEBORAH IN YOU” Deborah did not just lead the children of Israel to war but planned their victory by strategically positioning another woman named Jael (who I call queen) to finish the Job of killing Israel’s tormentor (Sisera). Redemption has made us kings and Priests to reign here on earth Rev 5:10. We are all queens; it depends on how you see yourself. Our father is the King of Kings. God announced their victory even before the war started. He said he was going to give the victory to a woman. Judges 4:9(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). The woman that finished Sisera was Jael the wife of Heber. Judges 4:21-23(Then Jael Heber’s wife took a nail of the tent, and took an hammer in her hand, and went softly unto him, and smote the nail into the ground: for he was fast asleep and weary. So he died. 22. And behold, as Barak pursued Sisera, jael came out to meet him, and said unto him, come, and I will shew thee the man whom thou seekest. And when he came into her tent, behold, Sisera lay dead, and the nail was in his temples. 23. So God subdued on that day Jabin the King of Canaan before the children of Israel). Things don’t just happen when it comes to our God and His children, everything has been pre-ordained. Jael was well equipped for the job. Even Deborah was well trained by God, that’s why she Judged Israel successfully. As a woman, we need to submit ourselves to God for preparation and be a vessel of honour for His use. At the end, Deborah sang a song to glorify God for giving them victory over their enemy. Her song was to thank God for turning away their captivity, (Judges 5:1). You are coming out of that captivity today in Jesus name. No matter how long they have tormented you, today marks an end to it in Jesus name. Deborah did exactly what Moses did in Exodus 15:1, when God parted the red sea for them and drowned the Egyptian army. Deborah knew the word of God. That is why she was a successful leader. God is still looking for a woman to use today, just like He used Deborah and Jael. May God find you and I worthy of His use in Jesus name. The first step to preparation is salvation, it is a requirement if you really want the Queen in you to manifest. Become a redeemed daughter of the King of kings, by accepting Jesus Christ as your Lord and savior today. 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
