What makes a women strong

Judges4:4-9- Now Deborah, a prophet, the wife of Lappidoth, was leading Israel at the time. She held court under a Palm of Deborah between Ramahand Bethal in the hills country of Ephraim, and the Israelites went up to her to have their disputes decided. She sent for Barak Son of Abinoam from Kedesh in Naphtali and said to him, The Lord, the God of Israel, commands you:Go, take with you ten thousand men of Naphtali and Zebulun and lead them up to Mount Tabor.I will lead Sisera, the commander of Jabon’s army, with his chariots and his troops to the River Kishon and give him into your hands . Barak said to her, If you go with me, I will go; but if you don’t go with me, I won’t go. Certainly I will go with you, said Deborah. But because of the course you taking, the honour will not be yours , for the Lord deliver Sisera into the hands of a women. So Deborah went with Barak to Kedesh.

This story in the bible shows us that the Lord calls ordinary people and makes them to do extraordinary things that can only be accomplished through the Spirit.

How God prepared Deborah to lead

God made Deborah a judge because of her faith, her wisdom her fairness and her obedience to the Lord. Deborah was appointed by God to lead and guide the people of Israel into ways of righteousness. Deborah was the only women in the bible that had prominent, position of power and she surely stepped into leadership, as she knew that she was chosen under the Authority of God.

Deborah was a prophetess who gained victories, through wisdom given to her by God. When I did bible study on this story of Deborah my heart got so excited as I pondered how God might use you and me in this rebellious generation. Could today be the ordinary day that God is waking you from your own slumber to do through you more than you ever dreamed or imagined for His Kingdom and His Glory.

Be inspired that God uses ordinary people to accomplish extraordinary things. He wants to awaken you to all that He has planned for you.God was showing again that He loves to use the things the world perceives as weak as his means of shaming the strong. Deborah is actually the most qualified of judges, especially from a moral point of view. The scripture shows her acting in obedience to Yaweh(The God of the Israelites) throughout .

God can use whoever, He pleases regardless of gender.

Scripture is clear that there are God – ordained differences between men and women. In the scripture Deborah does not herself take up the battle on the Plain Tabor. Even though she clearly commands a high level of strategy on the battle field.

God chose Deborah and he can choose you and me.

God bless
