POSITIONAL VICTORY< ?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>

Judges 6:11-40, 7

The land that the Lord gave the children of Israel became a raiding ground for their enemies to thrive because of their sin. As a result of their situation, they went back and cried to God for deliverance from the forces of enemies that had made them captive on their God-given land. Among many men in the land that could have been used by God to bring forth deliverance, it was Gideon who God called on.  GideonÕs father was a Baal worshiper, but yet God called on Gideon for the assignment of delivering His people. When God decides to bring forth deliverance, He will choose the least expected, the list qualified or the last among the least in the eyes of man for His assignment. When God is at work in your life, neither you nor any force will be able to work against His work in your life. Has the Lord been laying a call on you? God will not give you a vision that is not heavier than you, but the one that is heavier than you will have to commit every move unto GodÕs hand. When Gideon was approached for the assignment of delivering his people unto salvation, he responded to God, ÒO my Lord how can I save Israel? Indeed my clan is the weakest in Manasseh, and I am the least in my fatherÕs house.Ó 16 And the LORD said to him, ÔSurely I will be with you, and you shall defeat the Midianites as one man.Õ 17 Then he said to Him, ÔIf now I have found favor in Your sight, then show me a sign that it is You who talk with me.ÕÓ(Judges 6:15-17) Gideon wanted confirmation that God had called him for the assignment. He did not just ask for confirmation, but he repeatedly asked God in various ways for the confirmation of the assignment. God assigned a son of a Baal worshiper for the deliverance of His people from bondage. Has the Lord been calling you, but you are yet to accept because of your past or your background history? He is God and He can move and unmove as He chooses. God called Gideon and He backed Him up with power demonstration because when He calls you for His assignment, He will back you up and He will go before you. Gideon, with great fear, attempted not to answer the call, but God positioned him on the ground where every plan was presented unto him. God led him to hear with his ear how the enemies were going to fall in his hand. GideonÕs plan of fighting with great numbers was declined by God. Although they were up against thousands of enemies, God reduced the numbers of Gideon soldiers to just three hundred because Gideon was able to gain a position of victory before numbers fought the battle. Ask God today to position you for victory against everything that is representing enemies in your life.
