Bible Passage
And the LORD looked upon him, and said, Go in this thy might, and thou shalt save Israel from the hand of the Midianites: have not I sent thee? Judges 6:14 (KJV)
God believes that His children have the ability to accomplish His purposes on earth. It happened in the life of the Israelites that because of sin and disobedience God allowed the Midianites to oppress them. Gideon was threshing wheat in a winepress when an Angel of the LORD appeared to him and called him mighty man of valour. Gideon did not believe in himself so he didn’t take it seriously. He spoke to him again in verse 14 and Gideon believed after putting the LORD to a test. He gathered courage to save the Israelites from the Midianites. Dear beloved, whatever God Has said about you is true and you must believe it. If He Has given you an assignment, go ahead and do it; in your obedience He gives you power to overcome and accomplish the task for Him. Hallelujah!
