Mighty Man of Valour

Tuesday 3 April
READ: Judges 6: 12 - 14
M O R E L E S S O N: Judges 7: 13 – 15

A mighty man is one that is endowed with an extra ability beyond the normal. He has the extra strength to do what is beyond the ordinary. There have been many mighty men in scriptural and contemporary times. In the name of Jesus, you are the next to be numbered among them. Ordinary strength produces ordinary results while extra strength does extra things. Might or strength may be spiritual, physical, financial or material. It is the extent of a man's strength in an area of life that determines how productive he can be in that area of life. When you see people run away when faced with trouble or are brought down by challenges, the truth is there is lack of strength. According to Prov. 24: 10, If thou faint in the day of adversity, thy strength is small. Every form of failure is a demonstration of lack of strength.
It is a wonderful thing to be called a mighty man. In Judg. 6: 12, the angel of the Lord appeared to Gideon when he was in hiding and called him a mighty man. Gideon was surprised that the Lord called him a mighty man because even he didn't know that he was a mighty man. This means that irrespective of your present challenges and situations, God sees you as a mighty person. The desire of God is to make you see yourself the way He sees you. Gideon found it difficult to believe that he was a mighty man of valour, even after God had told him that he was. Even the enemies of Gideon knew he was a mighty man but he didn't believe. When God wanted to help Gideon, He had to make him hear what his enemies were saying about him. A Midianite was telling his dream to another and the fellow answered, ...This is nothing else save the sword of Gideon the son of Joash, a man of Israel: for into his hand hath God delivered Midian, and all the host. And it was so, when Gideon heard the telling of the dream, and the interpretation thereof, that he worshipped, and returned into the host of Israel, and said, Arise; for the LORD hath delivered into your hand the host of Midian: Judg 7:14-15.
You are a mighty man. God said it and even the devil knows it. All the attacks on you by the enemy are because they know that you are mighty but they donot want you to believe it. This is the reason they buffet you so much to get you to start to think that you are weak. Today, I want you to blow the trumpet of your might as Gideon did and arise for the Lord has delivered your enemies into your hands.
