Memorise: What shall we then say to these things? if God be for us,
who can be against us? Romans 8:31
Read: Deuteronomy 31:5-8 (KJV)
5 And the Lord shall give them up before your face, that ye
may do unto them according unto all the commandments which I have commanded you.
6 Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them:
for the Lord thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he
will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.
7 And Moses called unto Joshua, and said unto him in the sight of
all Israel, Be strong and of a good courage: for thou must go with this people
unto the land which the Lord hath
sworn unto their fathers to give them; and thou shalt cause them to inherit it.
8 And the Lord, he it is that doth go before thee; he will be with thee, he will not fail thee, neither forsake thee: fear not, neither be dismayed.

Message:-
When the leadership of the children of Israel was handed over to Joshua, he was really afraid. He knew it would take a lot of wisdom to resolve conflicts and deal with complaints among his people.

He had
also seen how they were faced with huge obstacles in the past – the Red Sea,
lack of food and water in the wilderness, enemies coming against them and many
more. Joshua was sure he would need a special anointing to overcome such
obstacles if they came up again.

God however, knew that with fear in the heart of Joshua, he
would not be able to lead the Israelite's to the Promised Land, so He had to
remind him:
“Have
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.”
Joshua
1:9
Beloved, if you will succeed in your divine
purpose and assignment, you must be strong and courageous, confident that God
is with you at all times. Fear is a strategy of the devil to limit you; never
allow it in your heart. No matter how great a task is, as long as God is with
you, you have succeeded already.
Open Heaven 17 October 2020 Saturday: Prayer Point
The Israelite's were afraid of Goliath and
would have been delivered into the hands
of the Philistines, but for David’s godly confidence (1st Samuel
17:24). Despite the fact that David was young, the moment he stepped into the
situation, everything changed. All God needed to deliver His people was
courage, not necessarily skills, Your abilities are not sufficient to guarantee
your success. God is however, more than enough to help you succeed. All He
needs is your courage; not experience, connections or skills – Just courage.
Good courage is taking steps in the face of
fear, difficulties and danger with the confidence that God is with you.
As you go about your various activities
today, be strong and of a good courage. God is with you and you will definitely
overcome, in the mighty name of Jesus.
Prayer Point
