Prophetess Deborah and Lapidoth
Judg.4.4 - And Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lapidoth, she judged Israel at that time.
You are woman with a high calling from the Lord, your heart is burning with passion, there are dealings along the area of God's purpose , but there is an issue.
I have seen God moving mightily upon some women but there is a concern about who will marry them.
Beloved sister, first you must know that you dont need to be married to be the best of God for your life or in your calling.
Marriage may give you a status but not a calling. That is why you must be careful. My heart is with you and I can feel your pains. Yes, the pressure of the society will always be there but you must be resolute about your choice of picking your calling or a status.
Now this is not to knock up the idea of marriage but to tell you not to “loose” that calling for a status.
I want you to know that you can be strong in your calling and still be happily be married, you don't have to lose one to keep one except by the Lord's order.
Deborah was a prophetess who was a spiritual leader over a nation, that means she was more in prominence than the husband.
Headship in marriage is one thing and headship in calling is another, don't mistake the two. A man is the head of the family ( and you must be willing to submit to this godly order) but may not be the head when it comes to prominence in divine calling and society.
Hello “Deborahs" when you want to marry, make sure you marry a Lapidoth!
Lapidoth.........must understand you in your calling, which includes the sacrifice of your call.
Lapidoth..........is secure and will never compete with you.
Lapidoth...........is willing to sacrifice for you and follow the anointing of your calling when necessary
Lapidoth.............still understand that you are human so you will make mistake and he is willing for allow for your human errors.
Lapidoth..........is willing to challenge you to make sure you are the best of you.
An example is Joseph, at his discovery of Mary's pregnancy he decided not to touch her so he wont disturb the program of God. He was not the carrier of the baby, but because of his spirituality, the childhood of Jesus was a safe one.
Mary was the one with the calling of carrying a divine pregnancy but her choice of Joseph out of many other men in Israel made all the difference. God never spoke to Mary to protect Jesus, He spoke to Joseph.
There is a man you will marry and you are out of ministry forever, there is a man you will marry and the enemy will kill what you carry.
Oh Deborah, please don't marry a man lesser than Lapidoth.
Heb.10.37 - For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry.
I am in faith with you!
