Judges 5:9 Advancing the Kingdom of God!

 9My heart is with the princes of Israel,

with the volunteers among the people.

Bless the LORD!


“Deborah didn’t only care for her job of leadership. She also had a heart for other leaders and their work. Her vision was bigger than just getting “her job” done. She wanted to see the Kingdom of God advanced.” (Guzik)


Jdg 5:2 NKJV - 2 "When leaders lead in Israel, When the people willingly offer themselves, Bless the LORD!


Judges 5:9 NLT My heart is with the commanders of Israel, with those who volunteered for war. Praise the LORD!


Sometimes we need to examine other bible translations in context to fully understand the verse at hand. “with those who volunteered for war”. The Israelites that volunteered for battle wouldn’t have won if they didn’t have faith in their leaders and the Lord!


Likewise we need faith in our church leaders and the Lord, with a priority of seeing the “Kingdom of God advanced.” 

Our church’s theme is this, “MEETING PEOPLE RIGHT WHERE THEY ARE MOVING THEM TO WHERE GOD WANTS THEM TO BE”.


Are you volunteering with a priority on seeing “the Kingdom of God advanced”?

Blessings
