FAITH CAPSULE: Always remember that the Word of God is God.
Joshua 6
The Word of God is God.
The Bible speaks that, in the beginning, was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. (John 1:1)
The Word of God is sent for man to behold God in His Word, to see God.
The ability to listen to God in His word will make man behold (see) God for direction, live life for God, and not become wasted in the face of this wicked world.
Always remember that the Word of God is God.
Without a doubt, when one listens to the Word of God, one must behold (see) the word of God and be built up with boldness and character.
The combination of boldness and character is a winning combination.
Boldness and character are rooted in listening to see and be living life by the Word of God will make one a winner, a winner to the glory of God.
In the Word of God, there is a direction that never fails.
For example, Joshua needed to behold (see) the word of God to gain boldness and character for winning over Jericho.
Jericho posed as an enemy attempting to stop the advance of the Israelites to the Promised Land.
Joshua 6:1-2 records the calling of Joshua to see (to behold) in the Word of God, “Now Jericho was securely shut up because of the children of Israel; none went out, and none came in. And the Lord said to Joshua: “See! I have given Jericho into your hand, its king, and the mighty men of valor.”
See in what the Word of God speaks to you to receive what you see, to become of you.
Joshua moved by what he saw in the word of God as direction to go against the enemy (the challenge of the Jericho wall). For Joshua, the Bible record the result of seeing and action according to the Word of God: “The wall fell down flat. Then the people went up into the city, every man straight before him, and they took the city. And they utterly destroyed all.” (Joshua 6:20-21)
With listening, gain understanding to see in the Word of God, to address your challenge victoriously.
Joshua listened; he was able to behold (to see) direction in the word of God as he gained character and boldness to become the winner over Jericho.
At all times, God wants all to see in Him (His word) to engage in a direction not to be a failure.
Payer for today:
Ask that you begin to hear, see and receive in the Living word of God for victory, not to be a victim of fear of the enemy with its attempt to deny you from moving forward in the plans of God for your life.
Ask that the Living word of God for direction to victory become activated in your life, to bring down flat every work of the enemy to fail in your life just as the WALL of Jericho of the enemy fell flat in the name of Jesus.
