“ Now it
came to pass the same night that the Lord said
to him, “Take your father’s young bull, the second bull of seven years old, and
tear down the altar of Baal that your father has, and cut down the wooden image that is beside
it; and build an altar
to the Lord your God on
top of this rock in the proper arrangement, and take the second bull and offer
a burnt sacrifice with the wood of the image which you shall cut down.” So Gideon took ten men from among his
servants and did as the Lord had
said to him. But because he feared his father’s household and the men of the
city too much to do it by day, he did it by night.” (Judges
6:25-27)
Between Gideon and the altar of
God, which by the way was destroyed, there was the altar of baal! The altar
of God was totally destroyed because during seven years the people had
stopped to challenge,
for this reason they feared the
Midianites!
When there is no
challenge, there is fear! But when there is challenge the
victory is certain!
The
altar of Baal
was standing, which
means that even when the times are
so difficult Gideon's father sacrificed
to Baal.
There are many people who just as Gideon's father still sacrificing at the altar of Baal! When they pay rent, when they depend on someone to survive, when they have to pay loan, when they are in debt, when they are living a miserable life is the same as to sacrifice on the altar of baal!
Before Gideon offer the second bull on
the altar of God, he had to
destroy the altar of the devil! The only ones will be able to go
to God's altar are those who destroy the altar of baal, which today means
the doubts and fear, as Gideon was afraid to destroy
the devil's altar.
Who does not destroy the altar of baal will not go to the altar of God, and if so, will
not do what God requires: The Perfect Challenge.
The only thing that impedes you from reach the altar of God and has a
quality journey is the altar of baal!
Destroy the altar of
Baal and show God
that you are part
of Gideon’s 300
I AM TIRED
I NEED A CHANGE!
