Heaven sent Judges

Day 69

Reading: Judges 1:1- 3:31

God's love for people is undeniable. His desire to see His people live within the boundaries of His inheritance is unquestionable. God's request is that His people walk in obedience wholeheartedly to Him. As I have been reading the Bible, I have been convicted afresh of God's love for me, convicted of His plans for me desiring to only please Him. The Book of Judges shows the leaders of the people. Judges who led the children of Israel out of captivity.

The children of Israel weren't able to evict all the occupants of the land as directed. Instead, we see that they stayed on and soon became a snare to the worship of the children of Israel. They soon were worshipping idols. In the midst of this is a sad portion of scripture, that a generation arose that didn't know God or the work of God. It is a sad state of affairs when a generation doesn't know God. Today's world has a generation like this and I believe God is raising judges who will manifest His judgement against the enemies of God. Judges who will deliver the people from the plunder of the enemy. The church is about to see a new move that will shift the status quo.  We have been under too long our time is here. 

 Why did God raise men and women who led Israel out of captivity? Because the people cried out to God they received a deliverer!! Until we cry to God we can't see the answer we desire. 'Charles, hunger for God and you will see great things.'

The first judge we meet is the nephew of Caleb, Othniel. His name means lion of God, my season is God or the hour of God. He helped deliver the people from the captivity of a king whose name means the blackness of iniquities. The hour of God is here and it will judge the blackness of iniquities that have held the church down. I believe God is raising lions that will roar the sound of the Kingdom. When a lion roars the everything in its vicinity understands the sound to be one of staking territory. A lion doesn't roar to say hello. It's a warning to enemies that this is my land I will fight for it.

Memory Verse: Judges 2:16

Decree:

Father, I rejoice in You. Thank You that You are a Deliverer. I rejoice in knowing that Your love never ceases even when I am in wrong. I decree that I am rising up against every enemy. I receive a fresh baptism of the Holy Spirit to contend with my enemies. I decree that the grace to lead nations from captivity to liberty is falling afresh on me. I declare that I am a carrier of the freedom. I declare that I am a battle-axe for God. I declare that victory is mine in Jesus name in every arena of life. Amen.

Absalom's Treachery

Day 91 Reading: 2 Sam. 14:1 - 2 Sam. 15:37 One of life's most painful lessons is the treachery of human beings. When family or friends hurt you and leave you grieving the pain is not the same as when someone out on the street does something wrong. The pain goes deeper and it's easy to become bitter. Absalom had fled from Israel knowing that he was a wanted man for the murder and revenge on Ammon his step-brother. Joab arranged for a wise woman to go see David and get him to forgive Absalom. The wise woman made David realise that he was not setting a godly example by exiling Absalom. The wise woman made David understand that God will not banish anyone but he will seek the person out. God will do everything in His power to restore the banished person. The wise woman was asking David not to forget the grace of God that enables one to enjoy forgiveness. David gets Absalom brought back to Jerusalem however for 2 years he didn't see him. Now, this was worse than ...

Work & Prayer; Prayer & Work.

Day 135 Reading: Nehemiah 1:1 - Nehemiah 4:23 One of the things I am learning is that God is not interested in my being so heavenly minded that I am not of any use here on earth. God placed man in the Garden of Eden here on earth, not heaven. We are created to be creators here on earth. God made us for work. If God made the earth how much more should we also work if we are His children? We have a responsibility to work and at the same time be vessels that bring honour to God's Kingdom. Today we begin the book of Nehemiah. This gentleman was not a king but the cupbearer for the King and he did mighty things for God.  Nehemiah was burdened with the state of Jerusalem. We are told of how he enquired to know the state of the returnees from exile and was perplexed at the sad state they found Jerusalem. He was saddened to hear that the Jerusalem, the focal point of the children of Israel, was desolate. He took it to prayer that God would restore Jerusalem. We meet Nehemiah p...

The Priestly Blessing

Day 40 Reading: Num. 5:1- Num. 6:27 Do whatever God instructs. That is obedience. Remove whatever is displeasing to God from your life. Whatever or whoever is causing discharge from your life that contaminates your faith should be far from you and I. I do realise that in today's dispensation some will say that they have nothing to do to walk with God, however, God won't come and move your feet away from a place sin. You go runnings and that is an instruction from your brain to your feet in obedience to the Word of God to walk in purity. I found it interesting that after Moses tells the children of Isreal to remove every leper from the camp God then speaks on restitution. The law was not just about worshipping God but also about relating right. God desires that we not only are in right standing with Him but also with others. I realised that first God began by clearing whoever may bring defilement to the camp before not dealing with relationships. Restitution is a fo...
