Men and Women of Faith 🔥 and Courage, Joshua (Part 1) A God chosen Leader not a Self-propped One

By Pastor and Mrs Chifamba

Joshua 1:9

Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.

Joshua‬ ‭3‬:‭7‬ ‭

“And the Lord said to Joshua, “This day I will begin to exalt you in the sight of all Israel, that they may know that, as I was with Moses, so I will be with you.”

1 Peter‬ ‭5‬:‭6‬ ‭

“Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time,”

THE WORLD AND THE CHURCH IS SUFFERING BECAUSE OF SELF MADE LEADERS WHO MANIPULATE THEMSELVES INTO POWER UNRECOGNIZED BY GOD AND WORSE STILL UNKOWN TO DEVILS!

Hosea‬ ‭8‬:‭4‬ ‭

“They made kings, but not through me. They set up princes, but I knew it not. With their silver and gold they made idols for their own destruction.”

‭‭

Acts‬ ‭19‬:‭13‬-‭16

“Then some of the itinerant Jewish exorcists undertook to invoke the name of the Lord Jesus over those who had evil spirits, saying, “I adjure you by the Jesus whom Paul proclaims.” Seven sons of a Jewish high priest named Sceva were doing this. But the evil spirit answered them, “Jesus I know, and Paul I recognize, but who are you?” And the man in whom was the evil spirit leaped on them, mastered all of them and overpowered them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded.”

JOSHUA WAS CHOSEN BY GOD AND WAITED FOR GOD’S TIME FOR HIM TO TAKE THE LEADERSHIP OF ISRAEL. FOR OVER 60 YEARS HE PATIENTLY AND DILIGENTLY WORKED AS A SEVANT OF MOSES.

Proverbs‬ ‭22‬:‭29‬ ‭

“Seest thou a man diligent in his business? he shall stand before kings; He shall not stand before mean men.”

‭‭

Exodus‬ ‭17‬:‭14‬ ‭

“Then the Lord said to Moses, “Write this as a memorial in a book and recite it in the ears of Joshua, that I will utterly blot out the memory of Amalek from under heaven.””

Exodus‬ ‭24‬:‭13‬ ‭

“And Moses rose up, and his minister Joshua: and Moses went up into the mount of God.”

Colossians‬ ‭3‬:‭23‬-‭24‬ ‭

“And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ.”

LET ALL WHO STRIVE TO BE LEADERS STRIVE FIRST TO BE SPIRIT FILLED LIKE JOSHUA. LEADERSHIP WITHOUT THE SPIRIT OF GOD IS A DISASTER

Zechariah‬ ‭4‬:‭6‬ ‭

“So he answered and said to me: “This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel: ‘Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,’ Says the Lord of hosts.”

‭‭

Numbers‬ ‭27‬:‭19‬

“And the LORD said unto Moses, Take thee Joshua the son of Nun, a man in whom is the spirit, and lay thine hand upon him;”

Deuteronomy 34:9

And Joshua the son of Nun was full of the spirit of wisdom; for Moses had laid his hands upon him: and the children of Israel hearkened unto him, and did as the LORD commanded Moses.

LET ALL THAT ARE IN LEADERSHIP PRAY TO BE SPIRIT-FILLED

Psalms‬ ‭51‬:‭10‬-‭11‬ ‭

“Create in me a clean heart, O God, And renew a steadfast spirit within me. Do not cast me away from Your presence, And do not take Your Holy Spirit from me.”

Luke 11:13

If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?
