GIDEON WAS THE LAST PERSON ANYONE WOULD EXPECT TO BE USED BY GOD IN SUCH A GREAT WAY. <\/span><\/h2>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\"><strong>Judges 6:15-16<\/strong> <em>And he said unto him, Oh my Lord, wherewith shall I save Israel? behold, my family is poor in Manasseh, and I am the least in my father\u2019s house. And the LORD said unto him, Surely I will be with thee, and thou shalt smite the Midianites as one man.<\/em><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">2. THE LEAST INFLUENTIAL AND THOSE WITH THE LEAST OPPORTUNITIES ARE OFTEN GIVEN GREAT OPPORTUNITIES BY GOD. <\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">SAUL. <\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\"><strong>1 Samuel 9:21<\/strong> <em>And Saul answered and said, Am not I a Benjamite, of the smallest of the tribes of Israel? and my family the least of all the families of the tribe of Benjamin? wherefore then speakest thou so to me ?<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">BUT, ONCE WE HAVE BEEN GIVEN RESPONSIBILITIES AND OPPORTUNITIES, GOD EXPECTS US TO USE THEM PROPERLY. \u00a0SAUL TOOK THE ROUTE OF THINKING OF HIMSELF MORE HIGHLY THAN HE SHOULD.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">3. AN INSIGNIFICANT WOMAN, WHOM MANY BELIEVE USED TO BE A PROSTITUTE, CAME TO JESUS. <\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">SHE ACTED UPON WHAT JESUS HAD TAUGHT THEM&#8211;THAT HE WOULD BE CRUCIFIED. AND SHE ANOINTED HIM. BECAUSE OF HER FAITH, AND BECAUSE SHE ACTED ON IT, SHE IS NOTED IN THE GOSPELS. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\"><strong>Mark 14:7-9<\/strong> <em>For ye have the poor with you always, and whensoever ye will ye may do them good: but Me ye have not always. She hath done what she could: she is come aforehand to anoint My body to the burying. Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached throughout the whole world, this also that she hath done shall be spoken of for a memorial of her.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">4. SAVING FAITH MAY NOT SEEM LIKE MUCH AT FIRST. BUT IT BECOMES A HUGE FACTOR IN OUR LIVES. <\/span><\/h2>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\"><strong>Matthew 13:32<\/strong> <em>Which indeed is the least of all seeds: but when it is grown, it is the greatest among herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge in the branches thereof.<\/em><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">5. THINGS YOU DO WHICH SEEM INSIGNIFICANT CAN BRING PEOPLE TO TRUST THE LORD.<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\"> MANY TIMES WE DON&#8217;T KNOW THE THINGS WHICH WILL MOTIVATE PEOPLE TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THEIR OPEN WINDOW TO GET TO THE LORD. <\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\"><strong>Acts 5:15<\/strong> <em>Insomuch that they brought forth the sick into the streets, and laid them on beds and couches, that at the least the shadow of Peter passing by might overshadow some of them.<\/em><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">6. THINGS YOU DO CAN CHALLENGE OTHERS TO EXERCISE THEIR FAITH AND BE STRONGER IN FAITH. <\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">THE WIDOW WHO GAVE HER ALL FOR THE LORD. SHE WAS AN EXAMPLE TO THE MOST EDUCATED AND MOST RELIGIOUS PEOPLE ON EARTH. <\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\"><strong>Mark 12:42-44<\/strong> <em>And there came a certain poor widow, and she threw in two mites, which make a farthing. And He called unto Him His disciples, and saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That this poor widow hath cast more in, than all they which have cast into the treasury: For all they did cast in of their abundance; but she of her want did cast in all that she had, even all her living.<\/em><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">7. THE ONE WHO CONSIDERS HIMSELF THE LEAST CAN OFTEN ACCOMPLISH THE MOST. <\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">DON&#8217;T THINK YOU ARE LIMITED. IT IS GOD&#8217;S SPIRIT THAT DOES THE WORK. YOU SIMPLY SUBMIT TO HIM. <\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\"><strong>1 Corinthians 15:9<\/strong> <em>For I am the least of the apostles, that am not meet to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.<\/em><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\"> <strong>Ephesians 3:8<\/strong> <em>Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ;<\/em><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">8.
