BE STRONG AND COURAGEOUS
Now after the death of Moses the servant of the Lord it came to pass, that the Lord spoke 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 them, even to the children of Israel. Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon, that I have given unto you, as I said unto Moses. From the wilderness and this Lebanon even unto the great river, the river Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, and unto the great sea toward the going down of the sun, shall be your coast. There shall not any man be able to stand before thee all the days of thy life: as I was with Moses, so I will not fail thee, nor forsake thee. Be strong and of good courage: for unto this people shalt thou divide for an inheritance the land, which I swore unto their fathers to give them. Joshua 1:1-6
Many believers are finding it difficult to possess the inheritance Christ earned for them because they are not strong and courageous. Ignorance is no bliss. As a Christian, you have been made a Victor by the finished work of Jesus at Calvary and His resurrection. You are not a victim but victor. The first thing for your victorious Christian life is to change your mentality in this regard. That is when you can fulfill God's command to be strong and courageous.
Joshua saw how God greatly helped Moses and he never lost any battle. As Joshua was starting his ministry as Moses successor, God gave a promise and assurance. "No man shall be able to stand before you all your days. As I was with Moses, so will I be with you to help you." (Joshua 1:5).
God also told Joshua to be strong and courageous. The reason being that God had already given the Promised Land to the children of Israel and was ready to defeat and drive out the ungodly inhabitants. Joshua needed to be strong and courageous for him to lead the children of Israel into their inheritance. He needed to always remember that God was with him and the nation he was leading. Leaders are arrow heads and are so influential that if they have divine strength and courage, it rubs off positively on the followers. If they lack these vital divine leadership tools, it will affect the followers negatively. I pray that God will fill you with His Strength and Courage, in Jesus name.
