To succeed – follow God’s words to Joshua Joshua 1:5-9 (5) “NO ONE will be able to STAND their ground AGAINST you as long as you live. For I will be with you as I was with Moses. I WILL NOT FAIL OR ABANDON YOU. (6) Be STRONG and COURAGES, for you will lead My people to posses all the Land I swore to give their ancestors. (7) Be STRONG and very COURAGES. OBEY all the LAWS of Moses gave you. Do not turn away from them, and you will be SUCCESSFUL in EVERYTHING you do. (8) STUDY this BOOK of the law continually. MEDITATE on it DAY and NIGHT so you may be sure to obey all that is written in it. ONLY then will you SUCCEED. (9) I COMMAND you – be STRONG and COURAGES! Do not be AFRAID or DISCOURAGED. For the LORD your God is WITH YOU wherever you go.” Joshua’s new job consisted of leading more than two million people into a strange new land and conquering it.. What a challenge – even for a man of Joshua’s caliber! Every new job is a challenge. Without God it can be frightening. With God it can be a great adventure. Just as God was with Joshua, He is with us as we face our new challenges. We may not conquer nations, but every day we face tough situations, difficult people and temptations. However, God PROMISES that He will NEVER ABANDON us or FAIL to help us. By asking God to DIRECT us, we can Conquer many of life’s challenges. Many people think that PROSPERITY and SUCCESS come from having Power, Influential personal contacts, and a relentless desire to get ahead. But the STRATEGY for Gaining Prosperity that God TAUGHT Joshua goes AGAINST such criteria. He Said that to SUCCEED Joshua must FIRST – be STRONG and COURAGES because the task ahead would not be easy, SECOND – obey God’s law, and THIRD – CONSTANTLY READ or STUDY the Book of the Law (Bible) – God’s WORD. To be successful, FOLLOW God’s WORDS to Joshua. You may not succeed by the worlds standards, but you WILL be a SUCCESS in God’s eyes – and HIS OPINION LAST FOREVER!! John 12:47-50 “And if anyone hears My WORDS and does not believe, I do not judge him; for I did not come to judge the world but to save the world. (48) He who REJECTS Me, and does NOT RECIEVE My WORDS, has that which judges him—the WORD that I have SPOKEN will judge him in the last day. (49) For I have not spoken on My own authority; but the Father who sent Me gave Me a command, what I should say and what I should speak. (50) And I know that His command IS EVERLASTING LIFE. Therefore, whatever I speak, just as the Father has told Me, so I speak.”
