The LORD turned to him and said, "You will rescue Israel from Midian with the strength you have. I am sending you."( Judges 6:14 God's Word Translation)
Wow, this message is real for so many of us. We are sent to do things that are impossible without the help of God. God is talking to Gideon. He is telling him to get up and lead Israel to victory even in his low estate. God calls him a mighty man of valour (courage). You see it does not matter who or what you think you are - especially if you don't think much of yourself - when you decide to go and do greater things than are possible for you in the name of the Lord. God stands and fights with you, and suddenly the impossible has now become possible.
And Israel means "soldier of God" and Midian means "strife". The purpose of the Midianites was to steal all the food and other good things from Israel. God does not desire His people to strive amongst each other or with unbelievers. He simply desires that we trust in Him with all of our heart and demonstrate our belief in Him through our words and actions.
This is the word for me this month. God is saying you may be weak, but I am infinitely strong so if you are going in the power of Jesus for the purpose of establishing God's ways. Nothing can stop you.
I am posting this video for the sake of the message that it does not matter what your circumstance is on this earth because you can be eternally great in Christ's kingdom coming.
