Reflections

Judges 6:15 (NIV) "But Lord," Gideon asked, "how can I save Israel? My clan is the weakest in Manasseh, and I am the least in my family."  

Do you know how destructive a poor confession of who we are can be to ourselves?  Many lives are simply stuck in the land of survival simply because of a poor self-image?  We think we cannot do better. How many men today believe that they will be poor fathers?  How many women believe that they are not valuable?   Do you know why many amongst the poor remain poor through generations? 

Do you know why many amongst the disempowered remain disempowered through the generations?  Do you know why the marginalised often remain marginalised through the generations?  Because they have believed the lie that they are nobodies. People often remain in poverty and disempowerment, not because they lack opportunities but because they lack the right perspective.
