4 Lord, when thou wentest out of Seir, when thou marchedst out of the field of Edom, the earth trembled, and the heavens dropped, the clouds also dropped water.

5 The mountains melted from before the Lord, even that Sinai from before the Lord God of Israel.

PRAISE & WORSHIP:

1 Onward, Christian soldiers,
marching as to war,
With the cross of Jesus
going on before!
Christ, the royal Master,
leads against the foe;
Forward into battle,
see his banner go!

Refrain:
Onward, Christian soldiers,
marching as to war,
With the cross of Jesus
going on before!

2 At the sign of triumph
Satan’s host doth flee;
On, then, Christian soldiers,
on to victory!
Hell’s foundations quiver
at the shout of praise;
Brothers, lift your voices,
loud your anthems raise! [Refrain]

3 Like a mighty army
moves the church of God;
Brothers, we are treading
where the saints have trod;
We are not divided;
all one body we,
One in hope and doctrine,
one in charity. [Refrain]

4 Onward, then, ye people,
join our happy throng,
Blend with ours your voices
in the triumph song;
Glory, laud, and honor,
unto Christ the King;
This thro’ countless ages
men and angels sing. [Refrain]

8/9/22 MESSAGE:
Yesterday, we considered some lessons from the life of Deborah. Today, we shall look at more of the lessons we can learn from her life.

Deborah was a mediator, a counsellor and an adivser. She had ability to plan, direct and delegate duties. She called on a military leader, Barak and shared the vision God gave her with him. She was ready to go with him. She rncouraged Barak and acknowledged his role in leading the Israelites to victory. Her confidence in God’s power gave the Israelites that God was with them (Judges 4:6-7).

Deborah was trusted by her people. The Bible says that when she called on Barak, he responded because of the trust he had in her. Barak did not hesitate to go with her as long as she was ready to go with him (Judges 4:8). Deborah was very confidence and courageous. Check out what she told Barak in Judges 4:14.

Also, Deborah was a mother in Israel. She did not question God’s voice or wondered what others would say or think. She simply had the faith to do what the Lord told her. Whether people folllwed her or not did not bother her. Her only concern was doing what the Lord told her to do without allowing anything to get in her way.

Beloved, what is God calling you to do? Just as Deborah refused allow her gender to hinder her from doing what the work of God, you should not allow your gender to hinder you. God is ready to use whoever surrenders himself/herself for His work.

Furthermore, Deborah maintained a healthy balance between marriage and ministry. She was a wife and a prophetess (Judges 4:4). She fulfilled her ministry and family responsibilties without allowing one to hinder the other.

Every minister of God has a lesson to learn from her. Every minister, whether male or female should live a balanced life. Let there be a healthy balance between your ministry and other departments of your life. Do not allow any conflict between the family and the ministry.

Above all beloved, like Deborah, be a good example for both men and women to emulate.

God bless you dearly as you make yourself available for God’s use.
