TOPIC: ARE YOU MOVING WITH THE CROWD? 5: Mobile Daily Devotional with Pst. Fakunle Emmanuel Week 35, Day 5: Thursday, 25 August, 2022. TOPIC: ARE YOU MOVING WITH THE CROWD? 5:

5 So he brought the people down to the water. And the LORD said  to Gideon, “Everyone who laps from the water with his tongue, as a dog laps, you shall set apart by himself; likewise everyone who gets down on his knees to drink.”

6 And the number of those who lapped, putting their hand to their mouth, was three hundred men; but all the rest of the people got down on their knees to drink water.

7 Then the LORD said to Gideon, “By the three hundred men who lapped I will save you, and deliver the Midianites into your hand. Let all the other people go, every man to his place.”

Only God knows us all. Nothing is hidden before God because everything is plain in his sight. The crowd may be boosting, expert in what they do, well experience but the truth is that, many of them are weary, they are tired and worn out, they only pretend to be brave. Many of them feels “What Will People Say If I Turned Back?” Because a lot looks up to them but they are also tired.

God told Gideon, this ten thousand people are still much for me to gain myself victory, there are still men who are weary but I will show you how to differentiate them. He gave Gideon an Instruction and led them to the river. The wearied ones went down on their knee while the braved ones cupped water with their hands. How well do you know the crowd you are following? Even in the church, they are present. In our place of work, among our friends, our environment. They always prove they know it all, they can do it all but they are crowd filled with weary men. Be vigilant not to be a victim of the crowd.

God Bless you and Good Morning.

Happy Birthday to all celebrants and Happy Wedding Anniversary to those celebrating today. May you experience God’s fruitfulness in Jesus Mighty name, Amen.
