FROM OUTCAST TO CELEBRITY: Devotion for Tuesday March 1, 2016

FROM OUTCAST TO CELEBRITY: Devotion for Tuesday March 1, 2016

Text: Judges 11:1 – 11                    Memory verse: v11

People shouldn’t be blamed for their parentage because they can through personal merits roll away and overcome any reproach from such parentage. There are many born legitimately but have no achievement whatsoever to show for it; while many termed ‘bastard’ have lived to become great and prosperous in the society. The story of Jephthah in our text is an example that confirms the fact that parentage has little to do with what we become in life. When his people in Gilead were faced with impending war from Ammon, they remembered Jephthah and went to him to lead them into the war. He gave them a condition which they agreed on, even with an oath. He that was despised became a sought after and celebrity among the people that despised and rejected him.

Beloved, have people despised you and called you outcast, never-do-well, etc, because of your past? Are you now a shadow of yourself because you are downcast and can’t raise your face in the public because of your past; your parentage, your sins, your failures in life, etc? Today I want to reassure you that God has hidden some talents in you that will lift out of that past, sin, failure, etc. God is waiting on you to take a step and your light will burst out for the world to acknowledge you in this new month and beyond. Those who hitherto had concluded that you can never succeed will come back to you for help. Congratulation as I am waiting for your testimony. Happy new month!

Food for Thought: Judges 11:8

Prayer: Lord God, grant that all who despised me will come back to celebrate me in Jesus name.
