BECOME HIS COMMANDER
Joshua 1

Joshua 1:1 – “After the death of Moses the servant of the LORD, it came to pass that the LORD spoke to Joshua the son of Nun, Moses’ assistant, saying: ‘Moses My servant is dead. Now therefore, arise, go over this Jordan, you and all this people, to the land which I am giving to them—the children of Israel. Every place that the sole of your foot will tread upon I have given you, as I said to Moses.’” Moses, the servant of the Most High God, completed his divine assignment as ordained by God. After Moses, a new leader in Joshua was unfolded. Joshua needed to fit into big shoes. Without God’s intervention, there would have been no way for Joshua to step into Moses’ shoes. The Word of God that came to Joshua was a word of command to move forward and not to be discouraged. God alone is the Commanding Commander who can never miss it in His given commands. For every man that listens and hears His command, it is impossible for the obedient one not to become a commander in the hand of God, the Commander. It is written in Joshua 1:10-11, “Then Joshua commanded the officers of the people, saying, “Pass through the camp and command the people, saying, ‘Prepare provisions for yourselves, for within three days you will cross over this Jordan, to go in to possess the land which the LORD your God is giving you to possess.’”Right after Joshua heard from the Commanding Commander, he himself became commander of the people of God. Is there anything that is denying you from hearing His command concerning your new assignment as a leader in your place of job; as shepherd that is shepherding the sheep of God? Hearing from God and obeying His command in every area of life or in every direction where the Lord has planted your feet is what will make a difference. In regard to how you proceed from where you are now into where He is taking you, operating as a commander in control should be directly rooted in your obedience to His command. It is impossible to receive a command from Him and not become a commander. God is a faithful God and His command will never fail you except that you fail to take to His command. It was testified of Joshua that he feared the Lord and he served the Lord in sincerity. In the fear of God, inhabit the wisdom to be obedient and not fall out of His command. Be a success of the position He has blessed you with by walking in the word of His command.

Prayer for today: Ask God for His command to sound in your direction. Ask also for His command to reign and rule in every area of your operation.
