DEBORAH

 



MEANING OF NAME: 

Honey Bee


CHARACTER: 

Deborah was not just a political leader, but was also one who trusted in the faithfulness of Her God, resulting in their victory over foreign oppressors.


HER REGRET: 

Herpeople's faith had grown weak after deviating from their God.


HER JOY: 

Through her courageous and faithful leadership, God, again handed them victory over their opposers.


STORY IN BRIEF: 

Following the reign of Joshua and Rahab, was DEBORAH - the prophetess. Deborah was not dispirited like her fellow Israelites but rather remained loyal and strong in God.

 

Israelites, would practise idolatory after conquering the gateway to Caanan ( Jericho). Thus, they became timid and discouraged in the face of the uprising Canaanites led by their king, Sisera.


But Deborah would keep her trust in the God that brought them this far. She joined Barak and his thousands of men in an attack at the Canaanites.


And God was faithful - He granted them Victory as Sisera's forces were hit by a floodtide emanating from a rain which also got them sunk in the mud; they became an easy target for the Israelites.
