TODAY’S LESSON

BIBLE PASSAGE: Judges 7:9-15 (NKJV)

It happened on the same night that the Lord said to him, “Arise, go down against the camp, for I have delivered it into your hand. 

10 But if you are afraid to go down, go down to the camp with Purah your servant, 

11 and you shall hear what they say; and afterward your hands shall be strengthened to go down against the camp.” Then he went down with Purah his servant to the outpost of the armed men who were in the camp. 

12 Now the Midianites and Amalekites, all the people of the East, were lying in the valley as numerous as locusts; and their camels were without number, as the sand by the seashore in multitude.

13 And when Gideon had come, there was a man telling a dream to his companion. He said, “I have had a dream: To my surprise, a loaf of barley bread tumbled into the camp of Midian; it came to a tent and struck it so that it fell and overturned, and the tent collapsed.”

14 Then his companion answered and said, “This is nothing else but the sword of Gideon the son of Joash, a man of Israel! Into his hand God has delivered Midian and the whole camp.”

15 And so it was, when Gideon heard the telling of the dream and its interpretation, that he worshiped. He returned to the camp of Israel, and said, “Arise, for the Lord has delivered the camp of Midian into your hand.”

MEMORY VERSE: 2 Kings 6:12 (NKJV)

And one of his servants said. “None. my lord, O king; but Elisha the prophet who is in Israel, tells the king of Israel the words that you speak in your bedroom.

INTRODUCTION

From a Christian perspective, it can be defined as reasoning ethicallyand moraly to live life according to Scripture through the Holy Spirit. It is also a process of gaining spiritual insight into events yet to happen.

Spiritual Intelligence includes having a foreknowledge of the adversaries’ activities before they are carried out (2 Kings 6:8-11).

3. David’s knowledge of King Saul’s plot to kill him aided his escape (1 Samuel 19:11-12; 1-Samuel 23:6-13).

4. Paul’s awareness of the plot to arrest and kill him led to the brethren helping him out (Acts 9:23-25).
