A Mission Done Well

Joshua 1:1b -3

The Lord spake unto Joshua the son of Nun, Moses' minister, saying,

Moses my servant is dead; now therefore arise, go over this Jordan, thou, and all this people, unto the land which I do give to them, even to the children of Israel.

Every place that he sole of your foot shall tread upon, that have I given unto you, as I  said unto Moses.

***After Moses' death God commanded Joshua to become the new leader and continue  to lead his people as Moses did. Joshua's mission was to lead the people across the Jordan River to the Promise Land, a land of milk and honey. 

*** God's other commandment to Joshua was to strong and of good courage; to meditate in His word day and night to be prosperous; He would not fail or leave him.


*** This is the commandment and promise that God make to leaders in the Church today: to be lead by the Holy Spirit; to continually meditate in His word; and to carry out His mission. If we continue to do what God called us to do and keep His commandments He will continue to lead, be with us and keep us from all harm and danger.

*** God knows that there is a battle that has to be fault, and a victory that needs to be won. A race that has to be ran. The race is not given to the swift or strong but the one that endure to the end.

*** By obeying God, Joshua was able to take over all the land, hills and country that he walked on by winning the battle against other nations.


Joshua 11:23

So Joshua took the whole land, according to all that the Lord said unto Moses; and Joshua gave it for an inheritance unto Israel according to  their divisions by their tribes. And the land rested from war.


Lets continue to carry out God's mission by obeying and meditating in His word.


Until we meet again - soon.
