Are You God's Next Deliverer?
by Os Hillman
"But
when they cried out to the Lord, He raised up for them a deliverer, Othniel son
of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother, who saved them." (Judges
3:9)
Have you ever
heard of a man named Othniel? Probably not. He was Caleb's nephew.
When the people of
Israel went into the Promised Land, they were victorious through the courageous
efforts of Joshua and Caleb.
As this generation
grew older, a new generation began to emerge. Israel again fell into sin by
worshiping idols.
The anger of the
Lord burned against Israel, and He allowed them once more to be enslaved by
their enemies. However, the people again cried out to the Lord and God heard
them.
Whenever God's
people cry out to the Lord, He hears them.
When they are
truly repentant, He responds.
He responds by
rising up those whom He has prepared for such a time.
Every soldier
looks forward to the day he can use the training he has received. God had been
preparing a nephew for such a time as this. He had the same Spirit as his
uncle, Caleb.
The Spirit of the
Lord came upon him, so that he became Israel's judge and went to war.
The Lord gave
Cushan-Rishathaim king of Aram into the hands of Othniel, who overpowered him.
So the land had
peace for forty years, until Othniel son of Kenaz died (Judges 3:10-11).
Has God been
preparing you for a time when you will be called upon to deliver God's people?
Millions of men
and women are enslaved to the god of mammon and idolatry in the workplace.
Has He placed you
there to be a deliverer?
Pray that you will
have the same Spirit as Joshua, Caleb, and Othniel.
God
never calls us to do something for Him that He does not empower us to do if we
are willing to do the work and time. Take the time to get to know God
in an intimate way.
As
your relationship with Him grows, you move up in rank and are assigned harder
missions. Your purpose on earth is to shine God’s love to a lost, dying world.
Your
mission, if you should choose to accept it, is waiting for you!
Open
your ears and your heart to the Lord and be excited about your new future
serving Him in truth and spirit.
Would you
want God to change your life?
God has made it
possible for you to know Him and experience an amazing change in your own life.
Serve
Him.
Wait
on Him.
And
expect … for He is able to do much much more than you can ask or imagine.
Settle
that sin issue ...
“Father God, I confess I am a sinner
and my sins have separated me from You.
I am truly sorry. I now want to
turn away from my past sinful life and live a new life pleasing to You.
Please forgive me, and
help me avoid sinning again.
I believe that Your Son,
Jesus Christ died for my sins, was resurrected from the dead, is alive, and
hears my prayer.
I invite Jesus to become
the Lord of my life, to rule and reign in my heart from this day forward. Thank
You that according to Your Word, I am now born again.
Please send Your Holy
Spirit to help me obey You, and to do Your will for the rest of my life. I
promise to study Your Word – the Bible.
Use me for Your glory.
In Jesus' Name I pray. Amen.”

Mighty Warrior
Dressed for battle
Holy Lord of all is He

For the Lord's presence
No authority here
