Title: When you receive the word of Almighty God in Jesus Christ and allow it to work inside your life, it transforms you to become what it says you are, the tide begins to turn your way, because when the Lord is with you, no-one can be against you.
“And the Angel of the LORD appeared to him, and said to him, “The LORD is with you, you mighty man of valor!” Gideon said to Him, “O my lord, if the LORD is with us, why then has all this happened to us? And where are all His miracles which our fathers told us about, saying, ‘Did not the LORD bring us up from Egypt?’ But now the LORD has forsaken us and delivered us into the hands of the Midianites.””
Judges 6:12-13 NKJV.
“What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?”
Romans 8:31-32 NKJV.
Child of God remember if God is on your side, no-one can be against you. If God is with you however insignificant you may feel in your own eyes, let His might begin to work within you. There is a mission that your God is raising you for, to be a light that shines where you are, to be a giver of hope to those around you. God wanted Gideon to deliver Israel from the hand of Midian, but Gideon had no human credentials to talk about. His father was the poorest in Manasseh and he was the least in his fathers house. The angel appeared with a message from God and declared "The Lord is with you, you mighty man of valor." The point is because the Lord was with him, however insignificant Gideon might have felt, he became by definition a mighty man of valor. Gideon however needed to do something extra-ordinary, to allow the word of God to work inside him, to transform him. He opened his heart to the transforming power of the word of God. He then became what the word of God had declared- a mighty man of valor- He then went fought and won for the people of God. A lot of times we fail to open our lives to the word of God. Remember the word of God is packaged with a spiritual substance called faith (Romans 10:17). As you allow it to work in you, it transforms you to become what it says you are. Glory be to God forevermore.
Point of reflection: Do you desire to become what Almighty God says you should become? He says you are a mighty man/ mighty woman of valor, of strength and impact. If you desire this-
Prayer: My Father in heaven in the name of Jesus Christ, I thank you for opening my eyes to see the light of Jesus Christ. Thank you for salvation through Jesus Christ who died for my sin and was raised from the dead for my justification. I acknowledge Jesus Christ as Lord of my life from today. I open my heart to the transforming power of your word. I am what your word says I am. In Jesus Christ's name I pray. Amen.
