SEEDS OF DESTINY DAILY DEVOTIONAL GUIDE

TOPIC: DO NOT LIMIT YOURSELF.
SCRIPTURE: 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? And he said unto him, Oh my Lord, wherewith shall I save Israel? behold, my family is poor in Manasseh, and I am the least in my father’s house. JUDGES 6:14-15.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: If God is on your side and you are on your own side, there is no devil that can prevail against you.
Gideon is one personality in the Bible that was mightily used of God. God used him to tear down the limiting altars of his father’s house. God used him to raise only three hundred men that fought and defeated the army of a whole nation.
There was a time when Israel sinned against God and God gave them to perpetual bondage in the hands of their enemies. Everyone in Israel was under the bondage of the Midianites.
However, God saw greatness in Gideon and decided to give him a divine encounter one day. God told Gideon:
The Lord is with thee, thou mighty man of valour …. Go in this thy might, and thou shalt save Israel from the hand of the Midianites: have not I sent thee?
Judges 6:12-14.
God had already seen Gideon and made him a mighty man of valour, but Gideon saw himself otherwise. Take a look at his response to God:
And he said unto him, Oh my Lord, wherewith shall I save Israel? behold, my family is poor in Manasseh, and I am the least in my father’s house.
Judges 6:15.
Can you look at Gideon? He was a mighty man of valour, but see how he limited himself. He limited himself to be a poor man and the least in the land of Israel.
A man who carried a great might to deliver a whole nation was limited in his mind by the spirit of fear, poverty, and inferiority complex. It took an encounter with God to deal with the limiting mindset of Gideon.
Beloved, if God is on your side and you are on your own side, there is no devil that can prevail against you. The worst form of limitation is self-limitation. Do not limit yourself.
REMEMBER THIS: If God is on your side and you are on your own side, there is no devil that can prevail over you.
ASSIGNMENTS:
1. Ask God to deliver you from low self-esteem, fear, poverty and inferiority complex.
2. Always see yourself the way God sees you.
PRAYER: Lord, I ask for the right revelation and evaluation of my personality. I delete every limiting mind-set from my life today, Lord, in Jesus’ Name.
