Gideon- Early Rising


Judges 7:1-2

ü  Rose early and encamped beside the well of Harod Vs. 1
The battle is fierce; raging and the end is swiftly wrapping up but man has limited time. We must work while it is day for the night time comes when no one can work. God’s assessment of Joshua’s labour at a time in his life was that he was advanced in years –but there were still territories/land to be conquered- Joshua 13:1-7.
·         Capture and captivate our men to rise up in the morning cycle of their life AND encamp beside CHRIST.
·         Help them consult; dialogue and partner with the Wellspring of life (Holy Spirit).
·         Plead with God that our men will not be void of strength or emptied of their best whilst there still remain nations/souls to be conquered.
·         Grace and wisdom to maximise the help (platforms) that YOU have provided to groom our Gideon. (Trip to Calvary & Men’s Online Bible Study).

ü  The armies of Midian were camped north of them Vs. 1b
It is possible to rise early, to set out to battle and put once life at stake but without CHRIST commit to a lost or wrong cause.
·         LORD, let the opponent be clear to our Gideon.
·         Inject into our Gideon- focus; a clear vision; the scope, the climax, and their destination inside CHRIST

ü  The LORD said to Gideon Vs. 2

·         Gideon’s who are intimately connected and reliant on CHRIST- able to receive and run with instructions.
·         Gideon’s who refuse to settle with stale bread of the Word but daily seek CHRIST for fresh insights.

ü  You have too many men Vs. 2

·         Highlight to our Gideon this ‘men’ that makes it difficult for YOU to deliver Midian into their hands.
·         Help them take definite step to be stripped of all the ‘men’ that ordinarily makes them strong. Their strength is in GOD alone.

·         The victories must be ascribed to Christ alone even though fought by our Gideon.
