After the death of Joshua, the first Judges God used were Othniel, Ehud and Shamgar (Judges 3). And then came Deborah.
Deborah led the nation of Israel. Who said women cannot lead? Here is one of the many women God Himself called and used. She was very much respected. Her leadership qualities were unquestionable. She was also a prophet and married women might also like to note that she was married... (Judges 4). Marriage was never designed to hinder the ministry of women but rather to aid it. Deborah's duties and ministry was similar to all the other judges of Israel and even went a bit more.
•She was the leader of the Nation.
•She helped to settle their disputes.
•She was also a prophetess who gave the nation direction from God
•She was respected by all the people.
•She was called by God.
•The land had peace for forty years due to her ministry. (Judges 4 and 5)
•If Deborah was under our dispensation she would have occupied the office of a pastor, prophet, and teacher.
•It is the calling and gifts of God on a person’s life that brings them into the ministry of the Lord. Your sex has nothing to do with it. As you dedicate yourself to the lord and seek His face you will be prepared to fulfill His will for your life.
•Deborah told Barak, the head solider in Israel, to attack Sisera, the commander of the enemy forces against Israel. Barak was afraid to do this and insisted that Deborah come with him. He knew that Deborah's presence would guarantee victory. Such was the respect and confidence of Israel in Deborah. She was a woman of God and all recognized it.
•Women should never look down on themselves. Deborah did not allow the fact that she was a woman hinder her ministry. She was the first (and only) woman Judge of Israel. Despite the fact that she lived in a time when men seemed to dominate everything she did not allow this to hinder her.
• Deborah was not proud nor did she hold an unspoken grudge against men. This is the wrong attitude that some women take today. Women be proud of who you are. i love you all. RACHVID 2013
