MFM Daily Devotional Today: 7 October 2026 – Heroes of Faith: Barak
It is impossible to have faith in God without humility. When you have faith in God, you don’t mind who gets the recognition as long as God is glorified. Today’s hero of faith is Barak, the man who was used by God to subdue the army of Jabin, king of Canaan.
God used Deborah to call Barak and inform him of his divine assignment. He did not argue with God; he only asked for Deborah to go with him (Judges 4:7-8).
Deborah was a representative of God. Faith recognises that nothing can be done through human efforts alone without divine presence. Like Barak, we should strive to carry God’s presence everywhere, knowing that we are and can do absolutely nothing without Him.
In Judges 4:9, Deborah tells Barak that Sisera would be defeated by a woman. He was to be the captain of the army but God would not let him defeat the captain of the enemy’s army. At this point, many of us would have thought it wasn’t worth it.
Many would have thought they were being used; they would go as far as saying the woman should be the captain of the army and God should leave them alone. But, Barak did not do any of those things. He did not even feel intimidated by the fact that God was using women. Many men need to learn how to honour women as fellow heirs of the grace of God (1 Peter 3:7), they need to learn to put their ego aside and let God glorify Himself, even if He does it through women. Barak understood his own assignment and pursued it.
This lesson needs to be learnt by many believers today. Beloved, everyone in the kingdom has a specific assignment. Some people may have assignments that make them look more prominent than others but, I assure you, they are not more important than the ones whose assignments keep them hidden. We all work together to showcase the glory of God. Like Barak, we all need to recognise our specific callings and function in them by faith. May the Lord be glorified through us, in Jesus’ name.
