HOW TO OVERCOME THE ODDS AGAINST YOU

Uni-verse 242/10,000 For better through verse
Jdg 7:16 And he divided the three hundred men into three companies, and he put a trumpet in every man's hand, with empty pitchers, and lamps within the pitchers.



In a time of prayer a little while ago, the Lord said, “ You are like a burning torch inside an earthen pitcher.” Indeed, every believer is a burning torch inside an earthen pitcher.
Our bodies are the earthen pitcher. The spirit burns inside us. It burns more brightly when we walk closely with the Lord, feeding on His Word and breathing praise and prayer. Without that fire burning inside us,we are just an empty pitcher that makes a lot of noise. The pot will be broken but the fire will burn on.
The Lord has placed a trumpet in every man’s hand. This is the ability to proclaim His goodness and His greatness manifested in our lives. With just these three tools,we are able to set to flight and rout mighty armies like Gideon’s three hundred men did. We are each expected to be a fire-brand for God. The only test we have passed is the zeal to drink our portion of the Word, our rhema verse(s) that God has spoken to us, from the cup of our hands. The odds against Gideon’s success was 0.0026 per cent. But, the Lord turned it into 100 per cent sure-fire success. We will overcome great odds against us even as the odds against Gideon’s three hundred men were impossible except God be with Him.
