Judges 6: 26 AMP
“26 and build an altar to
the Lord your God on top of this mountain
stronghold [with stones laid down] in an orderly way. Then take the second bull
and offer a burnt sacrifice using the wood of the Asherah which you shall cut
down.”
Do
you remember Gideon? His father worshiped Baal and so did the town they lived
in. Then the angel of the Lord came to Gideon and asked Gideon to tear down the
altars built for Baal and make one for the LORD.
It
was a big thing for Gideon because he was scared of his father and the people
in the town but he still went ahead and tore down the altar and made one for
the LORD. What happened? The people in town wanted to kill Gideon. Gideon obey
God and he changed everything for his own family.
Then I read about this "family that wanted to have their family history chronicled, so
they hired a professional biographer. Unfortunately, Uncle George the black
sheep in the family was executed in an electric chair for committing several
murders. The biographer said “no problem, I’ll simply say Uncle George occupied
a chair of applied electronics at an important government institution, which he
was attached to his position by the strongest ties. His death came as a real
shock.” It seems we can only learn from our family tree."
Prayer
Humbly
Lord God, I want to ask that You will help me with change in my own life. I realise
that if I don’t do something drastically it won’t happen. I need Your wisdom
and insight and I want to ask help me change according to Your Word. Lord I
feel that I have become meek and I can’t take confrontation any more.
Lord
be the change in my life that You want for me. I surrender my life into Your
hands and I accept You Holy Spirit in the name of the LORD JESUS CHRIST. Amen
