MORNING WINGS DAILY DEVOTIONAL GUIDE - Olusola ADEJUMO
OUR INTERVIEW WITH A FEMALE IN TROUSERS - Don't Downgrade Yourself Series 005
Judges 4:9, KJV
"And she said, I will surely go with thee: notwithstanding the journey that thou takest shall not be for thine honour; for the LORD shall sell Sisera into the hand of a woman. And Deborah arose, and went with Barak to Kedesh."
The interview that we had with the once upon Judge, Prophetess of Israel and wife of Sir Lapidoth actually reveals some interesting facts. Under the teaching anointing today, we shall present all to you.
When Sir Barak foolishly, unwittingly, cowardly ensued the partnering of Mrs Deborah in the battle, Mrs Deborah knew this was outside it. She was shocked herself. According to our newsmen, they said, "she was jostled, taken aback and fearfully worried at what manhood has become." For a minute, she watched Barak with mouth agape wondering at his disbelief in God and belief in mere mortal.
According to what our newsmen gathered, they said, Mrs Deborah had wanted to refuse this offer before but for some reasons. They said the reasons were not spurred by selfishness as some men have accused her of. They said, one, to encourage Barak. It seems he needed a helpmeet or an encourager and who best does that but a female and a wife. Two, she was forced to go on that journey because if she refuses, Barak would believe less or not at all in that prophecy. He'll call it a scam and accuse Deborah of wanting to send him to his untimely death. These were all the reasons that Mrs Deborah gave as to what prompted her into accepting the offer of going to war with Barak. Our newsmen said, accepting to go was no evil but what about snatching the trophy meant for him or the males? Why would she do that? She stammered and had nothing much to say except that, "would God not have compensated her if such was given her?" This still seems invalid to us because we wonder why she who proclaims herself a wife at home won't seek the greatness of men since she has someone over her at home. Should we say Mrs Deborah Lapidoth has been lording it over Sir Lapidoth at home and same is now happening with Barak? She was accused of not helping men to become proper men they should be. If Barak didn't know how to be one, couldn't she open to him the consequences of not doing the job outrightly. Note it, don't take another man's honour, trophy or reward. Exercise all fairness and let your righteousness exceed that of the Pharisees and Sadducees so you don't wake to live with guilt when you're confronted or at your receiving understanding personally. We should not become Jacobs who are opportunists and capitalized on the disadvantages of others. Wealth gotten by such means is ill and it's very much unsatisfactory. It makes you enemies also as you make the other person appear as a fool.
PRAYER: Lord, my righteousness exceeds that of the Pharisees and Seduces.
