The promise of a land
JOSHUA 11;16-19 the taking of the land
The completion of the task JOSJUA 11:21-23

AT us get to know something about Joshua
JOSHUA WAS THE CHIEFT AID TO MOSSES AND THE MILITARY COMMANDER OF THE AIRM FORCES OF ISRAEL.

JOSHUA AND KALAB WAS THE TWO SPIES THAT HAD FAITH,THAT THEY COULD CONQUOR THE LAND.THEY TOLD MOSES WE CAN DO IT WITH GOD

JOSHUA WAS ALSO THE CHIEF COMMANDER OF THE ISREALITS ARMY HE WAS A WARROR HE HAD ALREADY WON MENY BATTLES

GOD HAD ALREADY PREORDINED JOSHUA LIFE

REMEMBER TIS PROMIS LAND WAS FIRST GIVEN TO ABRAHAM AND THEN TO HIS SON AND GRANDSON , ISSAC AND JACOB

WHE GOD GAVE THE PROMISE TO ABAHAM ALL HE HAD TO GO ON WAS FAIT IN WHAT GOD HAD SAID

A THOUGHT. SOMETIMES ALL YOU HAVE IS THE PROMISE OF GOD. R.K.B.C. WAS BIRTH OUT OF THE PROMISE OF GOD. PASTOR AND LADY HAD THE FAITH THAT GOD WOULD DO WHAT HE SAID

KEEP IN MIND JOSHUA HAD HELP MOSES HAD LED GOD’S PEOPLE THROUGH THE RED SEA ,MOSES LED THEM OUT OF BOUNDAGE.

THEY ARE AT THE JOURDIN RIVER NOW THEY NEED TO CROSS OVER INTO THERE BLESSING,

GOD HAD ANOTHER MAN JOUSHUA TO ENTER THM INTO THE BLESS LAND


WE, ARE THE ISREALITS THE WORLD IS A PICTURE OF THE WILLINESS.


IT WAS ONE THING TO BE REDEEMEDE FROM EGYPT. BUT ANOTHER THING TO BE VICTORIOUS

THOUGHT. IT IS ONE TO BE REDEEMED FROM THE WORLD.BUT ANOTHER TO BE VICTORIOUS OVER THE WORLD. WE BEEN REDEEMED WE TRYING TO GET OUR ININHERDANCE WHICH IS GET TO THAT NEW CITY CALL HEAVER WHERE NO MORE DYING ,NO CRYING THAT CITY JOHN’S TALKS ABOUT.

THAT IS WHAT THIS LESSON IS ALL ABOUT JOSHUA IS TEACHING US THAT FAITH IS ‘’THE VICTOR THAT OVERCOMES THE WORLD (1JOHN 5:4)
WE MUST OVERCOME THE WORLD AS THE ISREALITES OVERCAME THE WILDNERESS.

GOD, COMMANDED TO MOSES TO PHARAOH WAS LET MY PEOPLE GO’

NOW MOSES IS DEAD AND THE HAVE MORN 30 DAYS AND THEY ARE AT THE JORDIN RIVER ON THE EDGE OF THE PROMICE LAND THEY CANSEE IT BUT THE JORDIN RIVER IS BETWEEN THEM THERE IS ANOTHER RIVER

IN VERSE 1 GOD GIVR JOUSHA THE AROUSING CALL

ARISE MY SERVANT IS DEAD FILL IN THE GAP TAKE UP THE MANTLE OF LEADERSHIP CROSS THIS JOURDIN TO THE PROMISE LAND.

GOD CAVE THE PROMISE IN V.V.2-5

1.PROMISE OF THE PROMISE LAND
2.PROMISE OF CONQUERING ALL ENEMIES V5

THIS IS A PICTURE OF BELEIVERS’S FULL AND VICTORIES LIFE.

THESE ISRAELITES WOULD FACE OPPISITON THER WOULD BE ENEMIES WHO WOULD RAGE WARE AGAINST THEM AT ENY MEANS NESSARITY.

AS BELEIVERS WE HAVE ENEMIES TRIALS AND TEMPTIONS THAT CONFRONT US . IF WE WOULD HAVE FAITH WE COULD LIVE A VICTORIOUS LIFE THROUGH THE PRESENCE AND POWER OF GOD THAT IS THE ONLY WAY TO BE VICTORIOUS YOUNG FOLKS IT GOT TO NBE THROUGHT THE POWER OF JESUS WHO IS THE CHRIST.


PS44:5 THOUGH THEE WILL WE PUSH DOWN OUR ENEMIES THROUGH THY NAME WILL WE TREAD THEM UNDER THAT RISE UP AGAIN

3. HE PROMISE UNBROKEN PRESENCE AND REST OF GOD V5

THOUGHT2. THAT IS THE SAME PROMISE HE GAVE US
‘LOW I AM WITH YOU ALWAYS ,EVEN UNTIL THE END OF THE WORLD. AMAN (MAT;28:20)

IF WE ONLY HAD FAITH IN THE PROMISE THAT IS ALL JOSHUA HAD

IN VERSES 6-7 HERE IS THE CHARGE V6 REAPED IN V 7-9

GOD ENCOURGED JOSHUA HE SAID BE STROUNG AND COURAGEOUS IN HIS TASK HE HAD TO DEFEAT SOME POWERFUL NATIONS WHO PEOPLE WAS EVIL TO THE CORE THEIR CUP NOF INIQUITY HAD BECOME SO FULL UNTIL GOD WAS USING THE ISRAELITIES AS HIS INSTRUMENTS OF JUDGMENT UPON THEM

2. GOD ENCOURAGE JOSHUA TO BE STROUNG IN OBEYING HIS LAW OR COMMANDMENTS

THESE ARE ALL THE THINGS HE HAD TO DO TO GET THE VICTORY

1.HE WAS TO OBEY ALL GOD’S LAW
2.HE WAS NOT TO TURN AWAY FROM GOD’S WORD
3.HE WAS NEVER TO STOP SHARRING GOD’S WORD
4.MEDITATE ON GOD’S WORD DAY AND NIGHT . THIS WOULD ASSURE OBEDIENCE

THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT GET THIS
THE RESULT OF HIS OBEDIENCE WOULD BE PROSPERITY AND SUCCESS. ALL THAT HE AND THE ISRAELIITES PUT THERE HANDS TO WOULD PROSPER AND BE SUCCESSFUL

THE LESSON HERE IS WE MUST BE STRONG AND COURAGES IN OBEYING GOD.WE MUST KEEP HIS COMMANDMENT, WE MUST NEVER TURN AWAY FROM HIS WORD RATHER WE MUST MEDITATE ON IT DAY AND NIGHT. IF WE OBEY OBEYGOD.,LIVING IN HIS WORD AND KEEPING HIS COMMANDMENT,WE WILL PROSPER AND BE SUCCESSFULIN WHEATEVER WE DO. THE PROMISE IS DIVEN TO ONLY THOSE WO OBEY GOD.
