Pastor Nicholas Tsakis shared with us on Sunday 13 February 2011 from Joshua 1:6. The Scripture there encourages us to be strong and very courageous. We're urged to obey God and meditate in His Word day and night, to be careful to do everything written in it.
We were born for success, inherent with a desire to be better than what we are. True success and prosperity comes from the knowledge of knowing God is with us.
• WITH YOU: You can be strong and courageous because I am with you, God told Joshua. In fact, true courage comes out when your back is against the wall.
• OBEDIENCE: Notice, also, how we are called to be obedient in Joshua. That didn't mean picking and choosing what Joshua wanted, but being obedient to God. Neither could Joshua just rely on his moods to set his course and actions.
• WORD: The wisdom you need is in the Word of God. Meditate on it, absorb it and be obedient to it,
Success was not guaranteed unconditionally. It comes with personal responsibility, to be the very reflection of Jesus Christ.
So be encouraged that obedience and saturating yourself with the Word of God leads to true and lasting success, with confidence in Him.
