What’s The Most That The Least Can Do? | Heartitudes Week 1 | | Tolulope Moody

And what I'm going to do is I'm going to walk into the story of a guy in scripture that you know.

In Judges chapter 6, God comes to a guy and he's having this heavy conversation with this guy.

And trying to tell this guy, you're going to do something great.

Your whole nation is in problem.

And God is telling this guy called Gideon, you are going to be bringing change into the nation.

But in verse 16, verse 14 of Judges chapter 6, verse 15 of Judges chapter 6, Gideon then said to God, oh my Lord, how can I, how can I do something incredible? How can I save Israel? Indeed, look at that with me.

My clan is the weakest in Manasseh and I am the least in my father's house.

It's a real feeling of, I can't because I'm the least.

I'm small, I'm too small to do anything significant.

But by the end of the story, when I take you to Judges 8 and verse 28, we see this same guy that was saying, I'm the least and I can't do anything.

Israel is under the oppression of the Midianites.

The same guy, the Bible says, thus Midian was subdued before the children of Israel so that they lifted their heads no more.

And the country was quiet for 40 years in the days of Gideon.

that we start out seeing him saying, I'm just the least and I can't do anything significant, but we end seeing him doing something incredible, a whole national turnaround.

The liberation for an entire nation was worked through a conversation with a guy that said, I'm just the least of the least.

What was it that took an intimidated little guy to actually do great things? And today, we're going to see that you might actually not be a special person.

You might not be the best of people.

You might not be the biggest prospect and all of that.

But I'm going to show you that you can actually do special, incredible things in a God story if we will get one factor right together.

I'll show you that you may not be a special person, but you can have a special heart that will fit into God's purpose and God's plan for your life.

Here's what I want to show you today, that God picks his people at the level of their hearts.

God selects his people.

God would say, I want to change the whole story of the Israelites.

I want to bring a national transformation.

I want to do something significant in that industry.
