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 ...

From the Pit to Safety

The news about the miners rescue has filled the atmosphere with a real lever of optimism. What began as a sad tale has ended well. As I have followed this story over the last 69 days I have had a few thoughts about some of the symbolism of this whole experience. In life we all will find ourselves in a pit (mine) of some sort.Thus the decision to see what I could learn from these great gentlemen. Firstly, they were miners. Do you realise that we all are miners in life? You may not mine for copper but as a lawyer you are mining legal matters that bring you profit. You may be a doctor whose responsibility is to mine to the root of the issue that is troubling a patients body!! We all are mining for a living!!! The miners numbered 33. Jesus was 33 when He was buried. After He died He was buried before He arose. We saw 33 men come out alive. Talk about a resurrection in their lives and in the lives of the men, families, and nation. Each miner underwent change. Whilst in the darkness of th...

Arise!!

The world today is one where many feel as though life is beating them down. The different challenges we face in this journey called life have punched many down and out. The fuel price increases, the job cuts, economic recession in different parts of the world, government changes either through the ballot or bullet, governments going broke, floods, drought, to just but name a few things facing many in the world today. It's difficult to go to a party and you don't hear bad news relating to someone you know. The world is changing. The weather patterns are affected by global warming, societal values held by previous generations are being obliterated by the ones following, and guess what, life for many is a nightmare. Today, I want to encourage that person who is lying down beaten by life. We all at times go through situations in life where we are down. It may appear that life's challenges have handed down a technical knockout blow, but humanity was not made to be beaten by lif...
