Main Text: Judges 1:5-7
Supporting Texts: Judges 1:1-8, Judges 1:18, 1 Samuel 30:1-8

INTRODUCTION:
In Judges 1:5-7, we encounter Adonibezek, a king who fought against Israel and inflicted great pain upon others. However, when justice came for him, he was made to face the consequences of his actions. Adonibezek’s story serves as a reminder of the power of God’s justice and how those who rise up against God's people will ultimately face retribution. Just as Adonibezek caused pain by amputating the thumbs and big toes of his victims, God will rise to fight on your behalf and break the power of the adversary that seeks to limit your progress and destiny.

1. THE DESTROYER OF YOUR LIMITS

a) The Enemy That Seeks to Bind You
Adonibezek’s strategy was to limit his enemies by cutting off their thumbs and toes. The enemy that seeks to bind you in your destiny wants to prevent you from functioning at full capacity.

b) The Spirit of Delay and Disfavor
Just as Adonibezek’s actions were intended to bring disgrace and limitation, the enemy sometimes seeks to delay and disfavor your destiny.

c) Preventing Progress and Advancement
A limitation in your walk with God can prevent you from advancing and achieving the fullness of your purpose.

d) A Call to Rise Above Oppression
Like the Israelites, it’s time to rise above the oppression and limit of your Adonibezek.

e) Biblical Example: Judges 1:5-7, where Adonibezek’s reign was broken by Israel, shows that God will fight for you and break every limitation that seeks to hinder your progress.

2. THE PRINCIPLE OF DIVINE RETRIBUTION

a) What You Sow, You Shall Reap
Adonibezek faced retribution for the suffering he caused. God will ensure that every enemy who works against your destiny will not go unpunished.

b) Divine Justice is Unavoidable
Just as Adonibezek met his downfall when he was captured and faced the same fate he had inflicted on others, so God will bring judgment to those who plan against you.

c) God Fights for His People
The Israelites were victorious because God was on their side. You will experience victory because the Lord will fight for you.

d) Victory is Guaranteed in the Lord
Every weapon formed against you will fail because of the justice and power of God.

e) Biblical Example: In Judges 1:5-7, when Adonibezek was captured, his punishment mirrored his wicked deeds, showing that God executes justice against those who oppress His people.

3. EMPOWERED TO OVERCOME THE ENEMY

a) The Lord’s Battle Strategy
Just as the Israelites were empowered to overcome Adonibezek, God will equip you with the tools necessary to defeat your enemies.

b) God’s Power Will Prevail
Every attack against your progress will be neutralized by the power of God.

c) Rising in Authority and Dominion
The same authority that raised Jesus from the dead is the authority you possess to overcome the enemy.

d) Stepping into Your Victorious Destiny
God’s power will ensure you step into your purpose without any hindrances.

e) Biblical Example: When the Israelites defeated Adonibezek, they did so with divine empowerment, showing that with God, you can overcome every adversary.

CONCLUSION:
Adonibezek’s life serves as a warning to every adversary who dares to limit or fight against God’s people. Today, I declare that the spirit of Adonibezek will be broken over your life. Every enemy that seeks to limit, bind, or oppress your destiny will face divine retribution. God will rise up in your defense, break every limitation, and empower you to fulfill your purpose without hindrance.
