Scripture: Judges 6:15-16 (NIV)
“Pardon me, my lord,” Gideon replied, “but how can I save Israel? My clan is the weakest in Manasseh, and I am the least in my family.” The LORD answered, “I will be with you, and you will strike down all the Midianites, leaving none alive.”
The guarantee for victory is not how prepared or how powerful you are but who goes into the battle with you. Your sure victory is when God is your strength. Your sure victory is when God goes with you.
Gideon tried to down play his inability to stand against his enemies, he was trying to explain his situation, I don’t have the qualifications for this task, I am not equipped for it, the enemies before me are too powerful, I can’t match them. I came from a very poor background, my family are not known for this, we are weak, we are poor, we are described as the least of them, this and that…
Many of us often complain about our state like this: I am not ready, I don’t have what it takes, I don’t have the connection, I don’t have the money. While he was busy complaining, God answered him and said:
I will go with you, we don’t need your qualifications for this. We don’t need your experience for this, all you need to win this is me. I will go with you, and you will strike down all midianites and none shall escape.
I am glad to tell someone this morning, GOD is with you. You are not alone in that battle. God is with you, you are not alone on that trouble. You are facing that storm not as one man but as GOD chosen vessel. You will come out victorious and you will win. Let me repeat it, In all the battles before you, you will win. God is your strength. He will guide you to all victory. It’s your season of testimonies. Congratulations.
Declaration
I am not alone, God is with me. I confront all life situations with God as my strength. Today, I claim victory over repeated battles. God is with me. My day is blessed!
