TOPIC: JOSHUA THE COURAGEOUS YOUTHFUL LEADER
TEXT: Deuteronomy 34: 1-8
WEDNESDAY OCTOBER 19TH
Key Verse: “This book of the law shall not depart out of your mouth, but thou shall meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shall make thy way prosperous, and then thou shall have success” (Joshua 1:8)
God instructed Moses to select from the heads of the tribes of Israel one person each to go and spy on the land of Canaan, and to bring the report of their findings to the congregation of Israel. A greater number of the spies brought an evil report to the congregation and the people revolted against Moses and Aaron. They even made a proposal to pick a leader who will lead them back to Egypt, but Joshua and Caleb encouraged the people before Moses, and said, “Let us go up at once, and possess it; for we are well able to overcome it”.
We have in our midst today people who will discourage you from taking bold steps to serve the Lord or come out of sin. We are ready to go to any length to encourage you to remain steadfast in the Lord, like Joshua and Caleb. Those destroyers are the caterpillars in our midst, while the builders are the pillars. Many were the followers of Jesus Christ in His days of ministry, but the Bible tells us that some went back and followed Him no more (John 6:60-66) because the message was too hard for them to bear. Know that the mix of multitudes is still among us as in the days of Moses. Never get discouraged by evil winds around us, remain encouraged, and stay on in HOREMOW, which is the waiting room for heaven.
Joshua was a youthful and courageous leader who took brave steps to fight, win and conquer lands for the children of Israel as instructed by God. Notable events in the life of Joshua are the crossing of the Jordan, the fall of Jericho, the battle of Ai, and the renewal of the covenant between God and His people. What can God say about you?
