DAY 4 - NIGHT OF MAKING A DIFFERENCE

Bible reading:
Judges 4:1-23

Bible text:
Isaiah 41:10 ‘Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am thy God. I will strengthen you, yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.’

MIDNIGHT MEDITATION:

The place and position of a woman in a family, society is very unique and crucial and cannot be over emphasized. The Israelites were in great captivity, the word of the Lord was almost not forthcoming because of the multitude of their sins as the Israelites were always looking for new ways to displease God and thus on a daily basis newer inventions of sin manifested in the camp of Israel until God decided to punish by sending them into exile and captivity in the land of the Canaanites. Destructions, unrest, famine and great oppression befell the Israelites.

A close look at the events today is a true reflection of the words as recorded in Rom. 1:28 “and God gave them up to their depraved minds”. Certain vices are occurring in our society that is totally condemned by God – women, the carrier of God’s deposit are today seen dressed in outrageous outfits, men are getting married to men, beasts, toys, incest of various kinds happen on daily basis, the love of money is taking over the hearts of many. Brothers kill each other for no just cause, homes are being torn apart; all these and many more are indicators that the world is turning away from God. We are carefully carving our own paths to destruction and just like the Israelites, we are inventing newer forms of sin that is detestable to God. And God’s silence shows that we are being given over to the content of our depraved minds which only spells doom if we do not heed the warnings of God. May God have mercy upon us, tonight.

Despite the vices of the Israelites and their utterly corrupt nature, there was a woman who was different, she took a stand against sin. Are you different from the others? There is a Christian slogan used in the 80’s ‘Others may, but you cannot.’ Deborah took a stand against the corruption evidenced in the lives of other Israelites. While others allowed the corruption of the world to infiltrate their lives, Deborah was being infiltrated by the word of God, the plans and thoughts of God, she was contented in serving and communicating with God.

Most women use the guise of ‘keeping my husband’ attracting a man, etc to commit various atrocities that are not worth emulating; Deborah was married but that did not keep her from doing that which God commanded and she still earned the love and respect of her husband. Do we still have women who have not conformed to the standard of the world to keep their homes, to feel among and be appreciated? The world is going haywire not because men are not acting well but because the women have lost their focus. It took Deborah’s attentiveness and closeness with God to instigate the deliverance of the Israelites’. O woman, lady, girl are you at your duty post of intercession or are you among those to be interceded for.

In this perilous time daughter of Zion, are you still in talking terms with your Father, your Creator? Have you fortified your family, church, State and nation with your intercession to God on your knees? Have you seen the calamity roaring sporadically out of control in your environment, what have you done about it? If Deborah had not been actively connected to the throne of Grace what would have been the fate of the Israelites.

God used Deborah to mobilize Barak to fight for the release of the Israelites but he refused even after God had given him the strategy on how he would win the battle. Deborah took up the gauntlet thrown by Barak and led the fight. Do we have fearless women who will intercede for the redemption of our family land, State, nation? Women who will not cower at the voices of discouragements that rings out from fellow humans. Barak was fearful and confused, but Deborah ignored him and led the fight to the freedom and release of the Israelites from the hands of the Canaanites. O woman, lady, girl, arise today; take a position of a warrior tonight and intercede for the redemption of your household land, nation/state from the clutches of the devil and his agents.

Deborah proves beyond all reasonable doubt that gender does not constitute limitation, profession could not be a hindrance because she was a judge, location could not stop her, even as she sat under the palm tree; Judges 4:5-8 “and she would sit under the palm tree of Deborah between Ramah and Bethel in the mountains of Ephraim. And the children of Israel came up to her for judgment. Then she sent and called for Barak the son of Abinoam from Kedesh in Naphtali, and said to him, "Has not the LORD God of Israel commanded, 'Go and deploy troops at Mount Tabor; take with you ten thousand men of the sons of Naphtali and of the sons of Zebulun; and against you I will deploy Sisera, the commander of Jabin's army, with his chariots and his multitude at the River Kishon; and I will deliver him into your hand'?" And Barak said to her, "If you will go with me, then I will go; but if you will not go with me, I will not go!"”
