MESSAGE
Ptr. Melecio Supnet
2Moses my servant is dead; now therefore arise, go over this Jordan, thou, and all this people, unto the land which I do give to them, even to the children of Israel.
3Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon, that have I given unto you, as I said unto Moses.
4From the wilderness and this Lebanon even unto the great river, the river Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, and unto the great sea toward the going down of the sun, shall be your coast.
5There shall not any man be able to stand before thee all the days of thy life: as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee: I will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.
6Be strong and of a good courage: for unto this people shalt thou divide for an inheritance the land, which I sware unto their fathers to give them.
7Only be thou strong and very courageous, that thou mayest observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded thee: turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that thou mayest prosper withersoever thou goest.
8This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.
9Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.
a. God chose Joshua to lead the Israelites
* never make promises to God that you cannot fulfill
* Just before Joshua stand before what God has commanded him. He was blessed by God
* God has given the needs of Joshua in Advance
* If we decided to follow the Lord. Let's remove all the reservations
2. Once we decided to follow the Lord - the Lord is with us
* The companionship of the Lord
v. 5 " I will never leave thee nor forsake thee"
" It is sad to be alone"
3. The commandment of Joshua. v. 8
" The book of the law shall not depart from thee"
* Let us continue to have our daily devotion
Why should we read the Bible?
a. This is our strength
The reasons why we failed to read the bible is we are:
- tired
- busy with work / family
- have other things to do
b. this book straighten our path.
The commandments and instructions of God is in the Bible
* Let us renew our faith this 2009
v. 16-18
* All the commandment that you will command us - we will follow
* Let us do our tsk on the Lord
* If possible - let us take the first step and do the work for Christ
Let us Follow God
Specially the leaders which God has given us
Let us all Ask:
"God - what can I do for you?"
Ptr. Lorenzo Bobis
PERSONAL APPLICATION:
It's true - during my baby Christian times - I have been condemned and not nourished as a baby christian - I have been fed with meat instead of milk -- but despite all that I have been through , which I think is God's way of building a solid and firm christian faith in me -- yes I am still here - serving our Lord... but what I think is enough is not really enough... I still have to do more task for our Lord and so this is the reason why I have decided to put this website a possibility so I can share God's goodness to people who does n't know Christ.
but let us not stop from here... let us always ask ourselves: "What can I still do for Christ?"
