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.

Now is....

Everyday I seek to share something that I have learnt through the daily reading. I make a choice to discipline myself not to write too much as we inundated with a lot of reading material. Feel free to add comments because that way we share and thus encourage one another to grow into the fullness of Christ. Today I am amazed at the fact that God will always remember His covenant and fulfill the promise. I want to list five words in the order they appear in one scripture that showed God is at work in our lives. Remembered : My God will never forget me. To be delayed is not to be denied as God will surely remember. God spoke and said to Sarah that He would return at the appointed time; at the right season!!! I do believe that we are in a season where we will see God begin to act on the promises that seem forgotten. Or better put in another way there is a resurrection of seemingly forgotten prophecies that is about to take place. Dry bones are beginning to take shape. Listened : No longer ...

Blessing or ....

To live well is one thing we all desire. I have never met anyone who did not want to live well. By living well for some people it means helping others. For others it means having a successful business. Yet for others it means travelling the world. I have discovered that it is not money that empowers but the blessing of God that empowers. Money is simply one of the many ways that the effects of the blessing may show up. Many times today in society we confuse money with being blessed yet people like Mother Teresa did not flaunt money but her life still is blessing many people round the world. The book of Deuteronomy has challenged me to desire to be blessed. Anyone who has walked with the blessing of God in their live has seen doors open that are a struggle for others. Yesterday I wrote about obedience. What obedience opens our lives to is the operation of the blessing. By choosing to obey the Word we are choosing to open our lives to be blessed. The purpose of being blessed is not self ...

Dont Go Back to Egypt

Day 207 Reading: Jeremiah 42:1 - Jeremiah 45:5 When life's blows strike us our response matters more than we realise. Many believers today are in a place of bewilderment because life has dealt blows that have knocked the wind out of them. As a result, many are questioning whether God is still God. Reading the Book of Jeremiah I have been encouraged to trust in God at all times.  The remnant children of Israel upon seeing the King of Babylon conquer them asked Jeremiah to seek the mind of God regarding their desire to go to Egypt. The same pattern of thinking that their forefathers had in saying let's go back to Egypt was on display generations after. Many people don't realise the importance of right thinking. God delivered the children of Israel out of Egypt, to desire to go there for safety is a smack to God in the face! When faced with trouble don't allow the thinking of God helps those who help themselves send you to Egypt. It's a death trap! Man...
