Eternal rock of Ages, glory be to Your Name. Beloved, this our God is too much O!!!!!!!!!! What a beautiful week and a blessed one indeed. Thank God for the promise of the month is founding fulfillment in my life: I hope you have same testimony too.

My joy overflowed this week because God did something outstanding for me. Yes! Very outstanding; it’s big for mouth for now I believe one day you will hear about this wondrous work of God in my life. Praise the Lord.

A good look at the weekly ministration tells us a lot about God and our Lord Jesus Christ. Am yet to overcome the very Word of God when He called Himself “I AM that I AM and he asked us what do you want me to be for you?

We also saw our Lord Jesus saying that He is not an ordinary rose but He is a Rose of Sharon! O Praise the Lord. He also told us wonderful things about Himself such like the Resurrection and life. He is Only Begotten Son, He is full of grace. He is full of Truth, He is the Bright Morning star, He is our Justification, He is our Healer, He is Everything to us. He is more than we can call Him. Glory be to Jesus.

Beloved, back to the business of the day, our monthly promise of God has gone forth as usual but is only those who are ready and sensitive in the spirit will posses their possession. Coming our way today is the voice of God realizing to us the secret of month.

Do you want to sing a new song then you must be ready to go up the mountain to possess your possession. God give us a gift but we must labour to possess it. Yes! Labour is of different category and we must not negate our part and waiting on God alone.

Sometimes after we have prayed, we must work to bring it to past, for faith and work goes hand and hand- Jas 2:18. Faith without work is dead- verse 26. Therefore we must labour to make our faith functional. Praise God.

The teachings of today will open us up the secret of Israelite and God’s very Word to Joshua. You will learn what makes most of the old time prophet strong in the place of their calling. Praise the Lord.

Come let’s go for more discovering:

                            

See, the Lord your God has set the land before you. Go up and take possession of it as the Lord, the God of your fathers, has told you. Do not be afraid or discouraged.—Deuteronomy 1:21

One of the paradoxes of the Christian life is that God’s gifts often require labor on our part. God brought the Israelites to the Promised Land and told them He was going to “give” it to them (Num. 13:2). The gift of the Promised Land sounded great to the Israelites until they realized that, with the gift, came battles against giants and fortified cities! Perhaps they assumed God was going to obliterate the inhabitants of the land before they entered. Ideally for the Israelites, they could then have entered a vacant land with houses and cities already built and ready to inhabit.

Instead, God said they would have to fight for it. They would not have to fight in their own strength, however; God would be present to fight for them. God would bring down the walls of cities, give them strategies to defeat their enemies, and empower their warriors to fight. The Israelites would have a divine advantage over anyone they fought, but they would still have to fight.

It would be wonderful if, when we become Christians, God would fill our minds with a complete knowledge of the Bible and with Bible verses already memorized. It would be easy if God would instill in us a delight in spending hours in prayer each day and a fearless desire to share our faith with others. But God doesn’t relate to us that way. Instead, He gives us the free gift of His salvation and then tells us to “work out” our salvation in fear and trembling (Phil. 2:12b). Are you discouraged because the Christian life is more difficult and challenging than you expected? Don’t be. God’s gifts to you are perfect because, through them, God makes you perfect as well (Matt. 5:48; James 1:17).

Did you read that? God’s gift to us is perfect and you will get more beautiful as the day go by, Praise the Lord. Joshua is one man that not only enjoyed the gift of God, He also enjoy the backing of God as he lead the children of Israelite to fight the battle to posses their promise land. Praise the Lord. There is still more to discover:

                        

“Only be thou strong and very courageous.” Joshua 1:7

Our God’s tender love for His servants makes Him concerned for the state of their inward feelings. He desires them to be of good courage. Some esteem it a small thing for a believer to be vexed with doubts and fears, but God thinks not so. From this text it is plain that our Master would not have us entangled with fears. He would have us without carefulness, without doubt, without cowardice. Our Master does not think so lightly of our unbelief as we do.

When we are desponding we are subject to a grievous malady, not to be trifled with, but to be carried at once to the beloved Physician. Our Lord loveth not to see our countenance sad. It was a law of Ahasuerus that no one should come into the king’s court dressed in mourning: this is not the law of the King of kings, for we may come mourning as we are; but still He would have us put off the spirit of heaviness, and put on the garment of praise, for there is much reason to rejoice.

The Christian man ought to be of a courageous spirit, in order that he may glorify the Lord by enduring trials in an heroic manner. If he be fearful and fainthearted, it will dishonour his God. Besides, what a bad example it is. This disease of doubtfulness and discouragement is an epidemic which soon spreads amongst the Lord’s flock. One downcast believer makes twenty souls sad.

Moreover, unless your courage is kept up Satan will be too much for you. Let your spirit be joyful in God your Saviour, the joy of the Lord shall be your strength, and no fiend of hell shall make headway against you: but cowardice throws down the banner. Moreover, labour is light to a man of cheerful spirit; and success waits upon cheerfulness. The man who toils, rejoicing in his God, believing with all his heart, has success guaranteed.

He who sows in hope shall reap in joy; therefore, dear reader, “be thou strong, and very courageous.”

Yes! Anyone who sows in hope shall reap in joy. Go sowing; come in with sheaves, Praise God.

The joy of the Lord will continue to be our portion. We must miss our reward as God’s children we may sow in tears but we will reap rejoicing.

I believe it has been a wonderful time in God presence. Thank You so much for honouring God with your time and money. He will reward you and you will possess your possession in Jesus Name. today, receive the grace to be courageous in Jesus Name. Glory be to God on high.

Have a wonderful weekend. See you next week by God’s grace. Glory be to God on high.

But before we go, I want us to sing this song.

We are able to go up and take the country

To possess the land of Judea; to the sea

But the demons may be on the way to hid

God will surely give us victory.

Only move on to the rejoice side,

move on to the rejoice,

move on to the righteous side of God, alleluia,2x

O! move on move on

Move on move on

O! move on to the righteous side of God. Alleluia 2x

Remain blessed in the Lord.
