TEXT JUDGES 6:11-13
CLASSIC
TOPIC : THE POWER OF POSSIBILITY MINDSET.
[11]And there came an angel of the LORD, and sat under an oak which was in Ophrah, that pertained unto Joash the Abiezrite: and his son Gideon threshed wheat by the winepress, to hide it from the Midianites.
[12]And the angel of the LORD appeared unto him, and said unto him, The LORD is with thee, thou mighty man of valour.
[13]And Gideon said unto him, Oh my Lord, if the LORD be with us, why then is all this befallen us? and where be all his miracles which our fathers told us of, saying, Did not the LORD bring us up from Egypt? but now the LORD hath forsaken us, and delivered us into the hands of the Midianites.
Gideon was a great man who lost his real identity in the midst of crisis.
He could not protect his inside and was overwhelmed by the outside.
He was controlled by the environmental happenings to become who he was not.
Many giants have responded to the pervasive voice of the environment, and have permitted themselves to be socialized and conditioned into failure.
They were told things like, " you are too ambitious, where do you think you are going to?, We are poor here stop deceiving yourself, we have seen people like you before, you are not like them" ( the successful ones).
Beloved, if you can hear me today, you can rise up and fly.
You are no one's slave, you are designed to be a winner all the time.
[14]And the LORD looked upon him, and said, Go in this thy might, and thou shalt save Israel from the hand of the Midianites: have not I sent thee?
God bless you.
With the God I serve, nothing shall be impossible.
Your case is not bigger than God.
May you have a God filled day in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
Your Victory is already guaranteed
It is well, do not give up, with God all things are possible
