Faith Capsule: To hear and see in the word of God is the key to open door.

Joshua 6:1-21

The Lord God spoke concerning the challenge of the children of Israel, “I have surely seen the oppression of My people who are in Egypt, and have heard their cry because of their taskmasters, for I know their sorrows.  So I have come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up from that land to a good and large land, to a land flowing with milk and honey, to the place of the Canaanites and the Hittites and the Amorites and the Perizzites and the Hivites and the Jebusites.” (Exodus 3:7-8) Does that sound like He is speaking to you? Are you experiencing any challenge that seems like it is taking forever? It is true that what He says to one speaks to all. Just like He said to the Israelites, He is also speaking to you. If you have cried or you are crying to Him because of what takes a position of taskmasters in your life, be rest assured that God has spoken and it shall come to pass.
The spoken word of God is a done deal. When He speaks, nothing under heaven is in positon to deny His word. When He speaks agents of delay also strike in attempt to deny man from possessing the promise of God’s word. It is important for man to know that delay cannot deny when God speaks to one’s challenge. Regard less of the magnitude of any hindrance; man must know to see the word of God by hearing and receiving the promise of God as the key to open door of deliverance and preservation. Imagine God speaking a way out of bondage of over four hundred years without any concrete force on ground to challenge Pharaoh. When He is set to deliver His promise all that you need is to see what He says as a done deal.
Among the great challenges that stood against the Israelites, was a closed gate where no one went out, and none could come in. Are you experiencing any challenging confrontation that insists on stopping you from where God has spoken for you to go to? The children of Israel needed to go through Jericho, in order to continue their journey according to God’s word but Jericho was securely shut up because of the children of Israel; none went out none came in.(Joshua 6:1) Is your confronting situation like that of Jericho? Joshua’s victory over Jericho was encased in God’s key message to Joshua as written in Joshua 6:2, “…See! I have given Jericho into your hand, its king and the mighty men of valor.” (Joshua 6:2) Joshua heard the word; he saw in the word and was able to receive victory according to God’s word of promise.
