THE EMERGENCE OF DEBORAH

God will never bypass the responsible for information. God is committed to those who are responsible. He opens His mind to them. He also intimates them with what He is doing. in fact in most cases, He informs them ahead, what He is going to do(Gen. 18:17-33). But do you know that God is not a God of incumbency? How do I mean? You may be the leader of a group and God may not find you responsible. God may bypass you with some vital information and instead, intimate people under you with it. You may be the head of the home in title and not in function-that is why I will advise you to desire the leadership life and not the title

There are many men that are only leaders by title in their homes and as far as God is concerned, they are far from being leaders. God will not trust them with vital information because He knows that they are not going to do anything about it. Instead, God will either go to their wives or reveal to their wives what they should have known or God may reveal things to their children if the wives are not also responsible. While I want you to know that this is not God’s absolute will, you should also know that God is committed to divine timing, so if under divine calendar you are not fit either as a result of frivolity or lack of proper divine alignment, God will bypass you and show himself to someone responsible in your stead. It does not matter who; God may your last child, you wife (1sam.25) or even your maid, but by and large, you must know that this is not the desire of God. You are the head and He wants you to be a head all the way.

When men refused to be men and when men refused to play their role as men, Deborah arose. If men took themselves serious in those days, Deborah would not have taken the stage. Oh! Some women are responsible in God’s agenda at a top flight and as a man, God is not expecting anything less from you. I am not asking you to entertain competition in your home. No matter how zealous your wife is, let her always be able to took up to you. Exert yourself the more so that she will have something to look up to in you.

Now look at verse 6-9 chapter4; Barak could have won the battle without the assistance of Deborah because whoever God sends has God’s backing. But you can see how he shifted his responsibility to the woman. Wherever you fail has a man to take your responsibility, if your wife measures up in that area, there is a glory accorded her particularly if it was because of your irresponsibility. So, are you in anyway relinquishing you responsibility to your wife? Are you banking on her income for the survivor of your home? Are you relaxed or pursuing excellent or getting better because she covers you upin one area of your life or other? Are you lazy and complacent because of her acumen in handling certain issues of life excellently? Have you left her to take care of the children alone while you care less what becomes of your children? Have you left her to do the prayers alone because she has an intercessory ministry? No! Do not hand over your leadership to your wife. Let her see the head and leader in you. If she has grace in some areas, let your leadership be able to harness such for the good of the two of you and also seek to get better in such area as well. It is well with you in the name of JESUS.
