1. THE BOOK OF JOSHUA! THE PROMISED LAND.

THE PROMISED LAND.

The first five books of Genesis lead Israel up to Canaan, and Joshua complements these by leading Israel into Canaan.
The Author describes Israel’s SETTLEMENT IN CANAAN.

This book covers twenty-five years and describes one of the most memorable conquests in History.

The occupation of this small strip of land is scarcely larger than Wales.

According to Jewish tradition, Joshua is this book’s author and focal figure.

Joshua is a book about graphic movement, campaign, conquests, and subjugation.

(Bringing into submission).

We see Israel going up, winning through, and settling in.

1. Entering the land. Chapters 1-5.

2. Overcoming the land. Chapters 6-12.

3. Occupying the land. Chapters 13-21. This is really the central message of the book.

“THE VICTORY OF FAITH IN GOD”

It is the opposite of the Book of Numbers, where failure and unbelief existed. They failed to enter, and they failed to overcome.

This challenges us as we use our faith to overcome the World.

1 John 4.

Also, read…

Hebrews chapter 11. and be challenged by the Heroes of FAITH.

These people held fast to their profession of faith without doubt. They believed in God that…

“HE IS FAITHFUL WHO PROMISED.”

True faith is confidence in what God “Has done in Christ Jesus.”
So, please don’t throw away when things GET TOUGH!

Don’t cower in fear or draw back from what He has called you to do.
One preacher who came to our church said that the true meaning of faith is …TAKE A RISK! Similar to possessing, BLIND FAITH! Stepping out into the unknown in obedience to God

“FAITHFUL IS HE THAT CALLS YOU AND HE WILL ALSO DO IT.”

So Step out!

So often God calls us into an area where we have no natural ability, so we depend entirely upon Him.

It is so exciting to be in the deep end and find that you actually learn to swim!

You accomplish seemingly impossible things. He teaches you that as you take that risk, you must trust Him totally.

Praise God that you can do everything through Christ, who strengthens you.”

Philippians 4:13.

THEN HE GETS THE GLORY!

God has another wonderful Promised Land for those who are born again.

It’s a Heavenly home. An eternal Home He has prepared for you.

A place free of sickness, pain and death.

A place of spiritual blessings of peace and joy, abounding in love.

Where we will be His people and He is our God.

No evil can enter its gates, nothing that defiles or tells a lie.

Jesus Christ will walk with you in sweet fellowship, and you will worship at His feet in Praise and honour.

How do you enter such an awesome place?

You admit you are a sinner. Believe that He died and rose again. Invite Jesus to save you.

Surrender all that you have and are into His love and care.

Then follow Him.

By His Holy Spirit, He will change your life and receive you into this Promised Land of Heaven to dwell with Him forever.

Amen
