Gideon led 300 men and defeated 134,000. He went through many tests, was a great leader and has some great secrets to success!
5 Things to Learn from Gideon
- Tests teach us to trust God.
- God calls a leader to follow.
- God prepares the leader before He prepares the people.
- God destroys self-confidence to build Godly influence. God wants you to go from self-reliant to God-reliant.
- Trust God’s Word over your feelings.
Gideon heard God’s calling, trusted God’s testing and obeyed God’s command.
The real secret to success is trusting facts over your feelings.
Judges 7:7, NKJV “Then the Lord said to Gideon, “By three hundred men who lapped I will save you, and deliver the Midianites into your hand. Let all the other people go, every man to his place.”
The Challenge
- Is there a battle to fight that looks impossible to you that you need to trust God with?
- Do you need to allow God to take your hurt or betrayal into Godly dependence and Godly confidence?
- Is God calling you to something that you need to answer to?
