What character Gideon displayed, when, following his famous victory, the people pressed upon him their desire that he should be King over them. Turning down their request, he strongly stated “The Lord shall rule over you”! However, one thing we learn, is that peace demands virtue, and sadly Gideon's later life was not as virtuous as his beginning. Man of faith that he was, he sadly succumbed to the snare which often awaits us should we not maintain our spiritual vigilance.
Amongst the many things we can learn from the life of Gideon are: 1) It is indeed God that must rule over us, fear Him more than man. 2) Even great spiritual men can leave uncertain legacies. 3) Never do those things not authorised of God, keep to the simplicity of biblically ordained worship. 4) Worship is now not of outward appearance, but inward, of the heart. 5) Be always spiritually vigilant. 6) Pray that God may raise up men and women of faith to be champions in their own day and generation
