OBEY FIRST
Joshua 6

God established breakthrough often starts when you begin to see where there is nothing to see in the physical. Responding to God’s command that calls for looking and seeing where there is nothing in place, is a demonstration to the fact that faith is being activated. God commanded Abraham, “For all the land which you see I give to you and your descendants forever. And I will make your descendants as the dust of the earth; so that if a man could number the dust of the earth, then your descendants also could be numbered.” (Genesis 13:15-16) A man that has passed the age of child bearing was commanded to see where he never stepped on. Not just to see but to also imagine descendants that could not be numbered. When God says it is done, it becomes a done deal. The children of Israel, after years and years of journey to their promised land, the King of Jericho was not enough to deny or upset God’s plan. They were set to enter, but the King of Jericho was determined to deny them. Here is the plan of the king of Jericho in Joshua 6:1, “Now Jericho was securely shut up because of the children of Israel; none went out, and none came in.” Man can shut you out from where God is taking you, but the key to every door is in the hand of God. They have put up schemes to eliminate you from where God is taking you by shutting all doors on you. Also, they have opened you up for failure so there will be reason for you not to gain your position. All you need to do is to hear from God as you read through your Bible daily. You will hear it that God is in absolute control. Do you believe that God can see you through? If you believe, what are you hearing in the Word of God? Whatever you are hearing or whatever you have heard in His Word is what you need to begin to see. What you hear determines what you receive and whatever you receive will determine what you become. God intervened in Jericho’s bold attempt to deny the children of Israel. God spoke His word to Joshua the leader of the children of Israel in Joshua 6:2, “And the LORD said to Joshua: “See! I have given Jericho into your hand, its king, and the mighty men of valor.” God commanded Joshua to see the victory in place before it was there in the physical. Knowing the promises of God that says, He will never leave nor forsake His people, begin to see your victory from today and it will be in place for you in Jesus Name. Joshua saw and it became a done deal.

Prayer for today: The grace to be consistent in responding to your command is what I ask for this day O Lord my God.
