#GIDEON AND 300 VS KING LEONIDAS AND 300

Cinema based on true story and those based on history records or likely facts sometime builds one’s soul but others destroy it. One time I watched the 300 movie based on story of King Leonidas of Sparta and his 300 Spartans, as I was digesting that movie, the story of Gideon and his 300 Israel army in the Holy Bible came up in my mind and I began expounding it more  and more in Book of Judges chapters 6 & 7, I realised and it’s truly that Almighty God don’t want us to be trained on some human doctrines of how to became strong and brave so as to be most powerful people in the universe but only to focus on Him and learn His ways, hear His orders and commands, know Him well and do His will, that’s enough measure of making us hero and warrior in this world. The body exercise for years to build up muscles, strength and confident doesn't matter to Almighty God simply because He is strong in our weakness. Note that, knowing Him includes our obedience and humility to Him, those are key factors above all which makes us most powerful and brave as human being over the worldly kingdoms.
You see, this is how success story of Gideon as a mighty man of valour featured in the Holy Bible; originally Gideon name in Hebrew means "Mighty warrior" or "Destroyer" and his calling to be warrior of Israel begin in Judges 6:11-12; “And there came an angel of the LORD, and sat under an oak which was in Ophrah, that pertained unto Joash the Abiezrite and his son Gideon threshed wheat by the winepress, to hide it from the Midianites. And the angel of the LORD appeared unto him, and said unto him, The LORD is with thee, thou mighty man of valour/O valiant warrior." Then in Judges 6:14 says; “The LORD looked at him and said, "Go in this your strength and deliver Israel from the hand of Midian. Have I not sent you?". So the appearance of the Lord and His word to him signified he is really valiant warrior. The Lord didn't want to hear anything from him concerning his forefathers’ stories and his family being least in Manasseh and him being youngest in his father’s home (Judges 6:15). But the LORD said to him in Judges 6:16, "Surely I will be with you, and you shall defeat Midian as one man."
Gideon then asked for sign if it’s really the Lord speaking to him and the Lord our God showed him sign and he made offerings there and it was consumed by fire (Judges 6:17-23). When Gideon saw that he was the angel of the LORD, he said, "Alas, O Lord GOD! For now I have seen the angel of the LORD face to face." The LORD said to him, "Peace to you, do not fear; you shall not die." Then Gideon built an altar there to the LORD and named it The LORD is Peace. To this day it is still in Ophrah of the Abiezrites (Judges 6:22-24). After that understanding and proof then Gideon knew himself that he is really valiant warrior in that very day as per earlier God’s word to him. The same night, Lord told him to destroy the Altar of Baal of his father and cut down Asherah that is besides it and made the Altar of the Lord (Judges 6:25-29) then, he did so and action of his purpose of defeating Midian began.
Gideon asked again for the sign of fleece from the Lord God (Judges 6:34-40); the Lord did that and guided him in the selection of 300 Israel Army; firstly Gideon gathered more than 32,000 soldiers and the LORD said to Gideon in Judges 7:2; "The people who are with you are too many for Me to give Midian into their hands, for Israel would become boastful, saying, 'My own power has delivered me.'” Judges 7:3 says “Now therefore proclaim in the ears of the people, saying, ‘Whoever is fearful and trembling, let him return home and hurry away from Mount Gilead.’” Then 22,000 of the people returned, and 10,000 remained”. Then the LORD said to Gideon, "The people are still too many; bring them down to the water and I will test them for you there. Therefore it shall be that he of whom I say to you, 'This one shall go with you,' he shall go with you; but every one of whom I say to you, 'This one shall not go with you,' he shall not go." So he brought the people down to the water. And the LORD said to Gideon, "You shall separate everyone who laps the water with his tongue as a dog laps, as well as everyone who kneels to drink." Now the number of those who lapped, putting their hand to their mouth, was 300 men; but all the rest of the people kneeled to drink water. The LORD said to Gideon, "I will deliver you with the 300 men who lapped and will give the Midianites into your hands; so let all the other people go, each man to his home." (Judges 7:4-7).
That same night Gideon went with Purah his servant as per the Lord advice and the Lord God said to him you will hear what they say; and afterward your hands will be strengthened that you may go down against the camp (Judges 7:9-11). Now the Midianites and the Amalekites and all the sons of the east were lying in the valley as numerous as locusts; and their camels were without number, as numerous as the sand on the seashore (Judges 7:12). When Gideon came, behold, a man was relating a dream to his friend. And he said, "Behold, I had a dream; a loaf of barley bread was tumbling into the camp of Midian, and it came to the tent and struck it so that it fell, and turned it upside down so that the tent lay flat." His friend replied, "This is nothing less than the sword of Gideon the son of Joash, a man of Israel; God has given Midian and all the camp into his hand (Judges 7:13-14)" and Gideon heard it clearly just as the Lord said to him and when he heard the account of the dream and its interpretation, he bowed in worship. He returned to the camp of Israel and said, "Arise, for the LORD has given the camp of Midian into your hands." (Judges 7:15).
Just like that! then Gideon and his 300 men divided into three companies they just blew the trumpets and broke the pitchers around their camps as per Gideon direction while their torches were on left hands and trumpets in the right hands for blowing and cried “the Sword of the Lord and of Gideon”. Then men in the camps of Midian and Amalekites ran and cried as they fled and when they blew that 300 trumpets, the LORD set the sword of one against another even throughout the whole army; and the army fled as far as Beth-shittah toward Zererah, as far as the edge of Abel-meholah, by Tabbath (Judges 7:16-25).
That’s how Gideon became valiant warrior made by the Almighty God, if we turn on to this 300 movie based on the story of King Leonidas of Sparta which retell the Battle of Thermopylae within the Persian Wars.
 Before Leonidas crowned as a King, in his young life i.e. his journey from young to man, he was trained per Spartan doctrine (human based wisdom); on how to be powerful and other intelligence in that doctrine. The aim of the system was to produce physically and morally strong males to serve in the Spartan army. The men would become the "walls of Sparta" because Sparta was the only Greek city with no defensive walls after they had been demolished at the order of Lycurgus. Discipline was strict and the males were encouraged to fight amongst themselves to determine the strongest member of the group. Then after Persian messengers arrive at the gates of Sparta demanding its submission to King Xerxes, the crowned king Leonidas visits the Ephors, proposing a strategy to repel the numerically superior Persians by using the terrain of the Hot Gates (Thermopylae) – his plan involved funneling the Persians into a narrow pass between the rocks and the sea. The Ephors consult the Oracle; the one who spoke on behalf of gods. But in all that there was no enough assurance of King Leonidas with his 300 of his best soldiers he selected to defeat god-King Xerxes and his army of more than 300,000 soldiers.
Along the way to Thermopylae, they joined by Arcadians and various other Greeks. They constructed a wall at Thermopylae to contain the approaching Persian advance. Meanwhile, Leonidas encounters Ephialtes, a hunchbacked Spartan whose parents fled Sparta to spare him certain infanticide. Ephialtes asks to redeem his father's name by joining Leonidas, warning him of a secret path the Persians could use to outflank and surround them. Leonidas was sympathetic to the eager warrior but rejected him, as Ephialtes cannot properly hold a shield, which would compromise the Spartans' phalanx formation.

 Prior to the battle, the Persians demand that the Spartans lay down their weapons. Leonidas refused, and with their tightly-knit phalanx formation the Spartans use the narrow terrain to repeatedly rebuff the advancing Persian army. Xerxes personally approaches Leonidas to persuade him to surrender, offering Leonidas wealth and power in exchange for his loyalty. Leonidas declined and promised instead to make the "god-King" bleed. Outraged, Xerxes sent in his elite guard, the Immortals, whom the Spartans dispatched. As the Spartans continue to defeat Xerxes' forces, Ephialtes defected to the Persian king and reveals the location of the secret path. When they realized Ephialtes' treachery, the Arcadians retreat. Leonidas ordered a reluctant Dilios to return to Sparta to tell the Council of their sacrifice. At Thermopylae as the Persians surround the Spartans, Xerxes' general demands their surrender, again offering Leonidas titles and prestige. Leonidas seemingly bows in submission, allowing one of his men to leap over him and kill the general. A furious Xerxes orders his troops to attack. As Persian archers shoot at the remaining Spartans, Leonidas rises and hurls his spear at Xerxes, cutting the Persian, thus making good on his promise to make "the god-King bleed." Visibly disturbed by this reminder of his own mortality, Xerxes watches as all of the Spartans are felled by arrows.

The story of King Leonidas ends just like that no assurance to win, too much betrayal, rely upon fake powers and human strength which is not enough to term yourself powerful and brave. Keep in mind that; full equipped King Leonidas was fighting against more than 300,000 soldiers of god-King Xerxes but failed and died while Gideon with no weapons but just the God's word and trumpets fight the uncountable enemies who were numerous as locusts; and their camels were without number, as numerous as the sand on the seashore and won. Do you know exactly why Gideon the valiant warrior of the Lord won the battle and King Leonidas of Sparta failed and died, this is simply because there is no sufficient support one can rely on than that of Holy Ghost in Jesus Christ name.
To top it up; always Holy Spirit is the best influence in man's life but those who depend on human based wisdom and strength indeed their falling point is there and proved.
No wonder, for the case of King Leonidas (who reigned for 10 years only from 489 to 480 BC) and his idea of selecting 300 Spartans came from the Holy Bible specifically Gideon's success story ((Judges 6&8) who judged Israelites for 40 years (Judges 8:28) from 1191 to 1144 BC and the land had peace in his period), you never know because it is written in 1 Corinthians 1:22 that Greeks seek after wisdom; it might be he was wise on that adoption but wrong consideration and motive, there's saying that, "when you like pumpkin like even its flowers", so he overlooked on that because it was not just about Gideon success story that mattered to him but the issue behind it, which actually King Leonidas missed it and that is Holy Ghost; King Leonidas failed to master Holy Ghost and Holy Ghost failed him and his story ended like that. Thus as per these words, Man without Holy Ghost it's like Aircraft without Pilot or Ship without Sailor or Robot without Creator the Outcome is what for!, it is useless, nothing or death and this is because Holy Ghost is GOD who is Able to create, to deliver, to rescue, to empower, to defend Man in every situation or any circumstance facing humankind in the world and no other.
There's high assurance to conquer in any man who put trust on the Lord, just like King David; the way he was saved from his rivals where by the Lord let even the forest to fight for him and noted in the Holy Bible that the forest/wood devoured more people than the sword did, 20,000 men from enemy side died on that day (2 Samuel 18:8).
What thing is impossible to God?
God is ABLE; No need to worry about Him or not to believe in Him or even think of negative things about Him simply because He is the ALMIGHTY GOD; who then can try to stand against Him?
Just believe JESUS, He will be really your STRONG TOWER!
Be blessed in Jesus Christ name, Amen

#WHAT A GREAT PRIVILEGE TO KNOW MY CREATOR PHYSICALLY

At least we know that through man Jesus Christ we are formed in Image and Likeness of Almighty God. I mean how could we, be able to understand and being sure that we are His image and likeness while the Almighty God is Spirit (John 4:24), if He did not manifest Himself to us through Jesus of Nazareth and allow Himself to have that bodily image?

Jesus of Nazareth says of complete unity (John 17:23) by father being in Him and Him being in us, then why people don’t believe JESUS is GOD?; while the Bible in Isaiah 9:6 says that the Everlasting Father is JESUS.

We as Christians believe that after being born again not we that live but Christ Jesus inside us and to Jesus is not Him but God our heavenly father.

If not so, that JESUS is GOD then Jesus never lives in us and the hope of eternal life and heaven is in vain. i.e. not hope anymore, may be it is still a promise to those who don't believe, but one thing for sure; it is already done, it is not a promise anymore but really the HOPE of eternal life and heaven.

Just believe! If you think it is difficult for God to come in fresh and blood in JESUS then it is so difficult even to you, human being to became Spiritual being like Almighty God Himself. Have faith in God in Jesus Christ name!, I tell you there’s no other way human being can see Almighty God physically in our image and likeness (Exodus 33:20) except through JESUS; for JESUS is one and only image/revelation of Almighty God in bodily form.

This is a great privilege beyond descriptions!, To know JESUS my Creator and Saviour physically.

Be blessed MAN, Amen

# WHO TURNS DARKNESS INTO LIGHT AND LIGHT INTO DARKNESS; FORMED LIGHT FROM THE DARKNESS HE CREATED (JESUS OF NAZARETH)

Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too lofty for me to attain (Psalm 139:6)

Then I saw all that God has done. No one can comprehend what goes on under the sun. Despite all their efforts to search it out, no one can discover its meaning. Even if the wise claim they know, they cannot really comprehend it (Ecclesiastes 8:17)

Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments and unfathomable His ways! For WHO HAS KNOWN THE MIND OF THE LORD, OR WHO BECAME HIS COUNSELOR? (Romans 11:33-34)
Can you fathom the mysteries of God? Can you probe the limits of the Almighty? (Job 11:7)

This is it!

# I AM GPC, JESUS CHRIST IS MY POWER! (PSALM 118:14, EXODUS 15:2, ISAIAH 12:2)




(God's Power Container-GPC)
" I have this treasure in earthen vessel, that the surpassing greatness of the power in me belongs to Almighty God and not mine in Jesus Christ name, Amen" 
[2 Corinthians 4:7]



No one own power, but to Almighty God all Power belongs.
Hakuna mwenye nguzu zake mwenyewe zote asili yake ni Mungu, ni Nguvu za Mungu

- The word “power” appeared more than 862 times (bible.cc/biblehub.com) in the Holy Bible which automatically imply “God’s power”- For none is Owner of power but only God the Almighty. I can say that although the word Power is appeared more than 862 times but actually in the Holy Bible all the words have God’s power because the “Word (Rhema)” is the breath of God. And that WORD is Jesus Christ i.e. God’s power – A Supreme Authority

- And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, all Power/Authority is given unto me in heaven and in earth- God’s power (Mathew 28:18)

We as “human body” we are powerless, all the power we have is of God and belong to Him that made us a “being” and it is liability on us so don’t even proud yourself of it, we will have to explain at the end how we righteously used it. So don’t even bother to afraid the devil/Satan because is powerless he hasn't ownership of even a dot of power (Revelation 20:1-3; Luke 12:5) compared to us for He is already judged but us not yet as long as we live and it is because of grace of God upon us. Let me tell you this, the world, this earth we are living is actually the God test ground for His righteous and saints.

Do righteously whatever you do using God’s power inside you but observe your motive to be directly to Glorify God (in the name of Our Lord Jesus Christ) so, His kingdom in the earth be strengthened as a day and day pass.

The contentment of power in them, the Almighty God is the source of it and the name of JESUS of Nazareth is that God’s power.

Below are some of Bible verses which talk about God’s power:-

- He gives strength to the weary, and to him who lacks might He increases power. Though youths grow weary and tired, and vigorous young men stumble badly, Yet those who wait (trust/hope/keepwaiting-Worshipper) for the LORD will gain new strength (renew their strength/find new strength); They will mount up with wings like eagles, They will run and not get tired, They will walk and not become weary. –That means God’s power is everything in our life. (Isaiah 40:29-31).

- I can do all things through Christ who strengethens me/ Nayaweza mambo yote katika yeye anitiaye Nguvu – It’s about God’s power (Philipians 4:13)

- Psalm 62:11; God hath spoken once; twice have I heard this; that power belongeth unto God.

- 1 Peter 4:11; If anyone speaks, they should do so as one who speaks the very words of God. If anyone serves, they should do so with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ. To him be the glory and the power forever and ever. Amen.

- For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the God’s power. (1 Corithians 1:18)

- For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes/qualities, His eternal power (God’s power) and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that they are without excuse. (Romans 1:19-21)

- For to be sure, he was crucified in weakness, yet he lives by God's power, Likewise, we are weak in him, yet by God's power we will live with him in our dealing with you (2 Corinthians 13:4)
- For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the God’s power that brings salvation to everyone who believes (Romans 1:16)

-Jesus replied, "Are you not in error because you do not know the Scriptures or the God’s power?” (Mark 12:24; Mathew 22:29)

-Jews demand signs and Greeks look for wisdom, but we preach Christ crucified, to Jews a stumbling block and to Gentiles foolishness, but to those who are the called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ, the God’s power and the wisdom of God.(1 Corinthians 1:22-24)

- You who through faith are shielded by God's power until the coming of the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time.(1 Peter 1:4-5)

- I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened, so that you will know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, and what is the surpassing greatness of God’s power toward us who believe, These are in accordance with the effectual working of the strength of His might. (Ephesians 1:18-19)
- By his power God raised the Lord from the dead, and he will raise us also by God’s power. (1 Corinthians 6:14)

- In truthful speech and in the power of God; with weapons of righteousness in the right hand and in the left; (2 Corinthians 6:1-18)

- My message and my preaching were not with wise and persuasive words, but with a demonstration of the Spirit's power, I did this so you would trust not in human wisdom but in the power of God. ... That your faith might not rest in the wisdom of men but in the power of God..(1 Corinthians 2:4-5)

- God hath spoken once; twice have I heard this; that power belongeth unto God (Psalm 62:11)

- After this I heard what sounded like the roar of a great multitude in heaven shouting: "Hallelujah! Salvation and glory and power belong to our God, (Revelation 19:1)

- I will teach you about God's power. I will not conceal anything concerning the Almighty (Job 27:11)
