different approach he does not call the Qualified, he Qualifies the called , he
does not wait for the perfect people He takes imperfect people and by the power
of his sprit converts them to someone that no human power could produce. Saint
Peter is a perfect example , he walked with Jesus for 3 years . HE watched
Jesus feed the thousands , he watched Jesus walk on water ect.. JESUS
commissioned him again feed my lambs feed my sheep and follow me and peter did
for the rest of his life .&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

8:8-12&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #323335; font-family: Arial, &amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;, when Noah sent out a dove after the flood and it
returned with an olive branch, signifying the end of God&#39;s judgment.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #323335; font-family: Arial, &amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #323335; font-family: Arial, &amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;In the New Testament, the Holy Spirit descended upon Jesus in the form of a
dove, as recorded in&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style=&quot;box-sizing: inherit;&quot;&gt;Matthew 3:16&lt;/span&gt;,&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style=&quot;box-sizing: inherit;&quot;&gt;Mark
1:10&lt;/span&gt;, and&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style=&quot;box-sizing: inherit;&quot;&gt;Luke 3:22&lt;/span&gt;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;color: #323335; font-family: Arial, &amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;The dove is also associated with peace, as Jesus instructed His disciples to be
&quot;wise as serpents and innocent as doves&quot; in&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style=&quot;box-sizing: inherit;&quot;&gt;Matthew
10:16&lt;/span&gt;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

while navigating through a world filled with challenges and opposition.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #323335; font-family: Arial, &amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #323335; font-family: Arial, &amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;The dove represents purity, as mentioned in&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style=&quot;box-sizing: inherit;&quot;&gt;Song of Solomon 5:2&lt;/span&gt;,
where the bride is described as &quot;my dove, my perfect one.&quot;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

return from the prey. Like a lion, he crouches and lies down; like a lioness,
who dares to rouse him?&quot; This imagery underscores the royal and
authoritative nature of Judah, from which the line of David and ultimately
Jesus Christ, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, would come (&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Revelation
5:5&lt;span style=&quot;color: #001320;&quot;&gt;).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #001320; font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;&lt;br style=&quot;-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; orphans: 2; text-decoration-color: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-thickness: initial; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;&quot; /&gt;

lion: &quot;Then even the bravest soldier, whose heart is like the heart of a
lion, will melt with fear, for all Israel knows that your father is a mighty
man and those with him are valiant men.&quot; This comparison highlights the
lion&#39;s role as a symbol of bravery and fearlessness.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #001320; font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;&lt;br style=&quot;-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; orphans: 2; text-decoration-color: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-thickness: initial; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;&quot; /&gt;

destruction. The prophet Amos uses the lion as a metaphor for God&#39;s impending
judgment: &quot;The lion has roared—who will not fear? The Lord GOD has
spoken—who will not prophesy?&quot; (&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background: white; font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;Amos 3:8&lt;span style=&quot;color: #001320;&quot;&gt;). Here, the lion&#39;s roar signifies the certainty and
power of divine judgment. Similarly, in&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Jeremiah 4:7&lt;span style=&quot;color: #001320;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;, the lion is depicted as a destroyer: &quot;A lion
has gone up from his thicket, and a destroyer of nations has set out. He has

&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Comic Sans MS&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;Elizabeth
was the mother of John the Baptist and&amp;nbsp;
wife of Zechariah and a relative of Mary the mother of Jesus according to
the Gospel of Luke , she was pas normal child bearing&amp;nbsp; age when she conceived and gave birth of to
John &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Comic Sans MS&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;According
to the Gospel of Luke Chapter 1 Elizabeth was of the daughters of Aaron&amp;nbsp; . She and her husband Zechariah were
righteous before God , walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the
Lord blameless but Childless , &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Comic Sans MS&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;Her
husband, Zechariah had been chosen to go the temple and burn incense before the
lord on the this specific day, while in the temple&amp;nbsp; the &amp;nbsp;angel Gabriel appears to Zechariah with a
message from the most High God saying that he and Elizabeth would have a child.
We lean this child’s name was to be John and that john would be the forerunner
of the Messiah &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Comic Sans MS&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;Because
Zechariah asked th3ee angel how this could happen . Zechariah became speechless
and would remain so until after john’s birth . Zechariah’s time of service ended
and he went home to his wife. She conceived and stated “ The lord has done this
for me, In these days he has shown his favor and taken away my disgrace among
the people&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Comic Sans MS&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;Six
months later The angel Gabriel visited Mary and told&amp;nbsp; her whas was going to happen in her life.
After Mary’s encounter with Gabriel and the Holy Spirit, she went to visit her
relative Elizabeth.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Scripture tells us
what happened next&amp;nbsp;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTKMu8-XfYdFqBBmaQ7kCGleeNg2x_ll0p48FXZB3f4I882a66vaQEORkyiHI1S_KVMIXbhOrBuMiYqbc2f_utYjTqrY7zYcmuVVlyOBbOiSzgFMpchZQClS3ZJlyV4swcczg5u65t9PyWfrsdVFcz6euOM_TrFzr5vxaBmco0u7ly8eYBegfLYg/s322/elz%201.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;322&quot; data-original-width=&quot;250&quot; height=&quot;320&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTKMu8-XfYdFqBBmaQ7kCGleeNg2x_ll0p48FXZB3f4I882a66vaQEORkyiHI1S_KVMIXbhOrBuMiYqbc2f_utYjTqrY7zYcmuVVlyOBbOiSzgFMpchZQClS3ZJlyV4swcczg5u65t9PyWfrsdVFcz6euOM_TrFzr5vxaBmco0u7ly8eYBegfLYg/s320/elz%201.jpg&quot; width=&quot;248&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Lucida Handwriting&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;“When
Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the baby leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth was
filled with the Holy Spirit.&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;In a loud voice she exclaimed:
‘Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the child you will bear!&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;But
why am I so favored, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?&amp;nbsp; As
soon as the sound of your greeting reached my ears, the baby in my womb leaped
for joy.&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;Blessed is she who has believed that the Lord would
fulfill his promises to her!’” (Luke 2:41-45 NIV.)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

praise to the god who had kept his oath in their lives.&amp;nbsp;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhslHlGiLju4KbbvHBXD9oC-XgN9M4t1xge3PbmubJhsPfh3FjZm5Gm0xbPhQzK6zXCaTnuVOXVCRTgu0wdxaldqS3AIXo-pc-t8PGj5CuT0fXKoEjIWXMQZ8L8kvB_RV8ll7WiGyGszoCOUXtsPqRwCUuTp7kp55H5dP34tnz0DKZPbCQclDPfRA/s225/elis%203.jpeg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;225&quot; data-original-width=&quot;225&quot; height=&quot;225&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhslHlGiLju4KbbvHBXD9oC-XgN9M4t1xge3PbmubJhsPfh3FjZm5Gm0xbPhQzK6zXCaTnuVOXVCRTgu0wdxaldqS3AIXo-pc-t8PGj5CuT0fXKoEjIWXMQZ8L8kvB_RV8ll7WiGyGszoCOUXtsPqRwCUuTp7kp55H5dP34tnz0DKZPbCQclDPfRA/w275-h225/elis%203.jpeg&quot; width=&quot;275&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Comic Sans MS&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;What can we learn from life of Elisabeth &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;background: white; line-height: 18.0pt; margin-bottom: 12.0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list .5in; text-align: justify; text-indent: -.25in;&quot;&gt;&lt;!--[if !supportLists]--&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #0a0a0a; font-family: Symbol; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol;&quot;&gt;·&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 7pt; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-emoji: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;

not only like a political leader but also as a profit&#39;s respected by all the
people. Her story helps us to rethink about leadership and shows how God can
use anyone regardless of gender and social status to accomplish his purposes &lt;span style=&quot;mso-spacerun: yes;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

entered into the period, called the period of the Judges, this was a time of
great political and spiritual instability for god’s people. The absence of a
strong leadership lead to a downfall of moral and social lifestyle. The people
who turn away from God, worship the idles of nabouring natation’s and suffer in
the hands of their enemies. In their suffering they would cry up to god who
then rise up a judge to deliver them.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 107%;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8lXfY3roT9p8FO3S2oWO72FBf8YgQ3u81OLp_eQDpCBujUAWczVM2qGpEMKWr56jZgKT2dtTl1t6tw5a4Pwxu7RXehzfTOH2yE9I22GuKL4zUVvoIYEFnq23uuxneFB1PKmbDOZ8jbE3UaTPtm0aIzAEoBKkSc16YuiGMHJuPskhI9qC5f0aNPQ/s500/deb2.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;500&quot; data-original-width=&quot;500&quot; height=&quot;270&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8lXfY3roT9p8FO3S2oWO72FBf8YgQ3u81OLp_eQDpCBujUAWczVM2qGpEMKWr56jZgKT2dtTl1t6tw5a4Pwxu7RXehzfTOH2yE9I22GuKL4zUVvoIYEFnq23uuxneFB1PKmbDOZ8jbE3UaTPtm0aIzAEoBKkSc16YuiGMHJuPskhI9qC5f0aNPQ/w270-h270/deb2.jpg&quot; width=&quot;270&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

book of&lt;span style=&quot;mso-spacerun: yes;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Judges in chapter 4 vers 4 “ And
Deborah , a prophetess, the wife of Lapidoth, ,she judged Israel at that time”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 107%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: georgia;&quot;&gt;Vers 5 : says that “she dwelt
under the palm tree of Deborah between Ramah and Bethel in mount Ephraim and
the children of Israel came up to her for judgment “&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

establishing a direct communication with god with his people and back to the covenant
they have neglected . As a judge Deborah resolved disputes and made very
important dissections, this combined legal, administrative and often military aspects
.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 107%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: georgia;&quot;&gt;In ver 6:- we see Deborah call
&lt;b&gt;Barak&lt;/b&gt; the son of Abinoam as a warrior leader to fight against the enemies of Israel

thousand men from the tribe of Naphtali and Zebulun &lt;span style=&quot;mso-spacerun: yes;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Deborah and the Canonists under the leadership by Sisera began &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

The 900 chariots were the pride of the Canionites army &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 107%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: georgia;&quot;&gt;In vers 14 Deborah, speaks to

left “. This battle put an end to Canaanite’s oppression against the Israelites.
The victory came from God and not from human strength or strategy &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 107%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: georgia;&quot;&gt;The victory over the Canaanite’s

Barak sang a song of Triumph. This song recorded in Judges Chapter 5 praising
God&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 107%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: georgia;&quot;&gt;After the song the bible

generation as a model of faith, courage and wise leadership . Her success as a
leader, demonstrated that effective leadership comes not from physical strength
or military power but from wisdom, faith and from the wisdom to unit and
inspire the people.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
