  1. Accept Your God-Given Place:A Sureway to Fulfilling God’s Purpose(Deborah) Judges 4 Sermon by: Joseph S. Sowah

  2. Deborah was a prophet, the wife of Lappidoth. She was judge over Israel at that time. She held court under Deborah's Palm between Ramah and Bethel in the hills of Ephraim. The People of Israel went to her in matters of justice. She sent for Barak son of Abinoam from Kedesh in Naphtali and said to him, "It has become clear that God, the God of Israel, commands you: Go to Mount Tabor and prepare for battle. Take ten companies of soldiers from Naphtali and Zebulun.I'll take care of getting Sisera, the leader of Jabin's army, to the Kishon River with all his chariots and troops. And I'll make sure you win the battle.“ 4:4-7 (The Message Bible)

But understand that with an attitude like that, there'll be no glory in it for you (Barak). God will use a woman's hand to take care of Sisera.“ Deborah got ready and went with Barak to Kedesh. Barak called Zebulun and Naphtali together at Kedesh. Ten companies of men followed him. And Deborah was with him. 4:8-10 (The Message Bible)

  7. God has/will place you at a specific place for a specific purpose. • A fulfilled and productive life as a Christian only comes by fully embracing your God-given place. • A God-glorifying orientation to life is a great treasure. • A heart burnt on seeking the well-being of others other than self, is godly and beautiful, and worth emulating.
