women of impact in the bible (series 3)
DEBORAH (judges 4:1-24; 5:1-9)
In the times when Deborah lived evil
prevailed in the land and Israelite was greatly oppressed by their enemy. In
that time men were the leaders and women were meant to do house / home keeping
and raise children and raising children yet a woman and wife; Deborah rises up
to take responsibility and do something about the evil and captivity of the
Israel.
She assumed the leadership and responsibility that even men (the supposed leaders) were either afraid or refused
to take up responsibility.
Deborah arose a “mother in Israel”
and helps to bring deliverance, righteousness and orderliness to the land. She
was a woman with every normal challenges of a woman and also a wife of Lapido
with all the responsibility of being a wife but yet still step out to take up
the huge responsibility of pursing deliverance for Israelites.
She stood where men feared to stand
and through her hands God wrought a great miracle in the nation of Israel. She
choose to be
“different” and “distinct”. Deborah through her actions and lifestyles
made impact in her generation.
What impact are you making in your
generation at this time?
Woman You Are More Than This!!!!
