“And when the children of Israel cried unto the LORD, the LORD raised up a deliverer to the children of Israel, who delivered them, even Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother. And the Spirit of the LORD came upon him, and he judged Israel, and went out to war: and the LORD delivered Chushan-rishathaim king of Mesopotamia into his hand; and his hand prevailed against Chushan-rishathaim.”
Judges 3:9-10 KJV
Yahweh raised up a champion-deliverer to rescue the repentant Israelites - Othniel. And the Spirit of Yahweh was upon him and empowered him to liberate Israel from bondage. He became Israel’s champion and went out to war, and Yahweh delivered into his hands Cushan-Rishathaim, the king of Mesopotamia. The Spirit of Prophecy came upon Othniel signifying a sudden and pronounced power of God’s Spirit that transcended human strength or ability. The supernatural strength, wisdom, boldness, valour and ecstasy of a prophet would manifest when the Spirit of God came upon him. The Israelites obeyed Othniel who won the victory with a small band of courageous men who surprised the king’s bodyguards, overpowered them, and killed the king. Christ Jesus, our Champion-Deliverer has forever won the victory over the enemy of our soul. We are in Christ and Christ is in us! Amen!
