FAITH CAPSULE: As foolish as any prescription to breakthrough could sound, if it is from God, expect an undeniable breakthrough.

Joshua 6

It is written in 1 Corinthians 1:25, “…the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.” Imagine trying to break through a wall that is strong and fortified; too tall to climb and too wide to break down. In order to break through such a wall, you have been given instructions to march around this wall for a certain amount of days. While marching you are to remain quiet and have no communication with those around, on the last day of marching you are told to make the loudest shout. What can marching or a loud shout do to break down this impenetrable wall of hindrance? Would this not be considered as foolishness of the highest order? Indeed and in truth, God is not a complicated God but a complete and consistent God. Whenever He is about to do something huge, He will give a very minute direction that could place an unbeliever or sometimes a self acclaimed believer in a foolish mode. The children of Israel witnessed the enormous outstretch, and miraculous hands of God   on their journey before they approached the Wall of Jericho. To arrive in the Promised Land the children of Israel had to pass through the wall of Jericho.The people of Jericho knew quite well not to allow the children of Israel passage. As a result the people of Jericho made a move, “Now Jericho was securely shut up because of the children of Israel; none went out, and none came in.” (Joshua 6:1) Our enemies can try to delay us but they cannot deny us from the promises of God. God responded to the situation by telling Joshua what to do. Joshua 6:3-5, “You shall march around the city, all you men of war; you shall go all around the city once. This you shall do six days.  And seven priests shall bear seven trumpets of rams’ horns before the ark. But the seventh day you shall march around the city seven times, and the priests shall blow the trumpets. It shall come to pass, when they make a long blast with the ram’s horn, and when you hear the sound of the trumpet that all the people shall shout with a great shout; then the wall of the city will fall down flat. And the people shall go up every man straight before him.” The children of Israel did exactly what was commanded of them without room for foolishness or doubt. More than what was expected happened to the wall of Jericho, not only did it fall down but if fell down flat, as mentioned in the Bible. As foolish as your prescription to deliverance could sound, if it is from God, expect an undeniable breakthrough.

Prayer for today: Ask the Lord God to deliver you from every act or spirit of unbelief.
