Bible Reading: Judges 11: 1-11
Memory Verse: The LORD said: People of Jerusalem, when you stumble and fall, you get back up, and if you take a wrong road, you turn around and go back. Jeremiah 8:4 (CEV)
Ferruccio Lamborghini is the Italian maker of high-end sports racing cars named after him. Before he ventured into automobile, he got disatisfied about the transmission defects he observed in his Ferrari 250GT, and decided to meet the owner of the said brand named Enzo Ferrari. Enzo Ferrari was said to have given him a derogatory remark so he decided to correct the abnormally by making his own brand. Lamborghinni simply converted his insult to result in his own generation.
Similarly, has your landlord told you to move out of his house? Has he abused and embarrassed you because you couldn’t meet up with the payment? Why cry or harbour unforgiveness and bitterness against him? In “holy annoyance” strive hard under God to build your own house, and perhaps own an estate. Convert your insult to result. Jephthah in our text today was sent out of the home being a bastard. He didn’t argue, complain, or weep like most people will do. He simply capitalized on his own strength even as he relied on the name of the Lord until he built a great army. The same people came looking for him when all chips were down. Convert that insult to result.
Fine, the Church is a place of brotherly help. But, why quarrel with the welfare leader for not always coming to your aid? There are people whose case are worse than yours but have refused not to be a burden to anyone. Have they mocked you because you are barren? Let those insults provoke you to seek the hand of God in prayers, and sow seed faith until your miracle baby manifest. Convert your insult to result. Are you tired of COVID-19, HIV/AIDS, or any other terminal disease of this time? You can decide to do a research or sponsor a research until there’s a breakthrough. Provoke yourself to superior achievement. Convert your insult to result.
Quote: The best answer to insult is result.
Prophetic Decree: Today, your Eagle must fly, in the name of Jesus.
