FIRE SCRIPTURE: Judges 7:19-25 (KJV)
19 So Gideon, and the hundred men that were with him, came unto the outside of the camp in the beginning of the middle watch; and they had but newly set the watch: and they blew the trumpets, and brake the pitchers that were in their hands.
20 And the three companies blew the trumpets, and brake the pitchers, and held the lamps in their left hands, and the trumpets in their right hands to blow withal: and they cried, The sword of the Lord, and of Gideon.
21 And they stood every man in his place round about the camp; and all the host ran, and cried, and fled.
22 And the three hundred blew the trumpets, and the Lord set every man’s sword against his fellow, even throughout all the host: and the host fled to Bethshittah in Zererath, and to the border of Abelmeholah, unto Tabbath.
23 And the men of Israel gathered themselves together out of Naphtali, and out of Asher, and out of all Manasseh, and pursued after the Midianites.
24 And Gideon sent messengers throughout all mount Ephraim, saying, come down against the Midianites, and take before them the waters unto Bethbarah and Jordan. Then all the men of Ephraim gathered themselves together, and took the waters unto Bethbarah and Jordan.
25 And they took two princes of the Midianites, Oreb and Zeeb; and they slew Oreb upon the rock Oreb, and Zeeb they slew at the winepress of Zeeb, and pursued Midian, and brought the heads of Oreb and Zeeb to Gideon on the other side Jordan.

MFM Devotional For Today 2026 MESSAGE:
Gideon, also known as Jerubbaal, is listed as a hero of faith. Initially, he was full of questions and totally unsure about anything. He described himself as the least in his father’s house so, how could he possibly be a hero of faith? Let’s see a few lessons from him.
Given the adverse situation of Israel at the time, Gideon believed that the Lord had forsaken them. So, when the angel called him a mighty man of valour, he wanted a sign to hold on to as an assurance that God would help him (Judges 6:12,17). God showed him the signs (Judges 6:21,36-40). In response, Gideon built an altar to the Lord and threw down his father’s altar of Baal. Old altars of unbelief must be thrown down to make room for faith in God.

As Christians, it is not a bad thing to ask God for a sign. The sign may not necessarily be physical like in the case of Gideon, it may be in the form of a verse of scripture, a prophecy or an encouragement, etc.
Another lesson from Gideon’s faith is that faith requires total conviction. Through his questions, he had developed an unshakable conviction so when God reduced his army from thirty two thousand to three hundred, he continued to trust that God would deliver the Midianites into their hands. It is important for believers to be fully convinced in their faith and rely wholly on God. The Midianites had a very large army so what were the odds of defeating them with only three hundred men? Physically, it was almost impossible but not with God. God turned the host of Midian against one another and they killed themselves. Faith firmly holds on to God and His promises even when situations seem contrary, knowing that He never fails.
Beloved, this is your sign from heaven to hold on to your faith in God. He will not fail you, no matter the size of the host that rises against you. You are more than a conqueror, in Jesus’ name.
MORNING
- My Father, help me to firmly believe and trust You in every situation, in the name of Jesus.
- Lord God, please, give me answers in every area of uncertainty, in the name of Jesus.
- O Lord, give me a sign for good, in the name of Jesus.
EVENING
- O Lord, release upon me the spirit of complete obedience, in the name of Jesus.
- By my faith, I overcome every opposing host of darkness, in the name of Jesus.
- O Lord, turn my enemies against themselves until they are completely destroyed, in the name of Jesus.
- I declare that I am more than a conqueror, in the name of Jesus.
