God’s No Is Still a Setup for Victory

In this episode rewind , Tola highlights the pivotal moment when God tells Gideon he has too many men. This was a divine strategy that didn’t make sense from a human perspective. Reducing the number of soldiers before going into battle would seem counterproductive, but God's ways are not our ways.

Tola shares how this applies to our daily lives as nurses, leaders, mothers, wives, and entrepreneurs. God often gives us instructions that do not align with conventional logic, and this is where faith becomes practical. Faith is not just a belief, it is obedience to divine strategy even when it seems unreasonable.

God’s intent was not only to give Gideon the victory but also to ensure that the glory returned to Him. In the same way, when we follow God’s unique strategies in our lives, we begin to see results that cannot be explained by credentials, background, or effort alone. This reminds us that obedience positions us to walk in peace, grace, and ease, not by our strength but by His direction.

Key Takeaways:

• Divine strategies often do not make sense in the natural, but they lead to supernatural results.

• God trims our "numbers" so we will rely on Him rather than our own qualifications or resources.

• Many people seek signs because they are overwhelmed by too many voices. Stillness and centering in God's Word clarify His strategy.

• Success in nursing, business, and family comes when you choose to obey God's leading, even in the small and unusual things.

• Every victory you experience is a reminder to give the glory back to God, not to your intellect, experience, or training.

Faith in Action Reflection:

• Reflect on areas in your life where God may be calling you to implement a new or unusual strategy. Are you resisting because it doesn't make sense?

• Are you waiting for a sign instead of simply obeying what you already heard from God?

• Write down recent compliments or wins in your life. How did God show up in those situations? Were there divine strategies behind the success?

• Identify one area where you tend to speak negatively (money, parenting, nursing). Replace those statements with Scripture-based affirmations.

Reflection Questions:

1. What instruction has God given you that seems illogical or inconvenient?

2. Are you trying to make your life work by human strategy instead of spiritual guidance?

3. How can you make your faith more practical this week?
