Text: Joshua 1:10-15
(KJV)
10 Then
Joshua commanded the officers of the people, saying,
11 Pass
through the host, and command the people, saying, Prepare you victuals; for
within three days ye shall pass over this Jordan, to go in to possess the land,
which the Lord your God giveth you to possess it.
12 And
to the Reubenites, and to the Gadites, and to half the tribe of Manasseh, spake
Joshua, saying,
13 Remember
the word which Moses the servant of the Lord commanded you, saying,
The Lord your God hath given you rest, and hath given you this land.
14 Your
wives, your little ones, and your cattle, shall remain in the land which Moses
gave you on this side Jordan; but ye shall pass before your brethren armed, all
the mighty men of valour, and help them;
15 Until
the Lord have given your brethren rest, as he hath given you, and
they also have possessed the land which the Lord your God giveth
them: then ye shall return unto the land of your possession, and enjoy it,
which Moses the Lord’s servant gave you on this side Jordan toward the
sunrising.
KEY VERSE: “Until the LORD have
given your brethren rest, as he hath given you, and they also have possessed
the land which the LORD your God giveth them: then ye shall return unto the
land of your possession, and enjoy it…” – (Joshua 1:15)

DAILY MANNA FOR TODAY
A
wealthy businessman lay on his deathbed. His preacher came to visit, talked
about God’s healing power and prayed for him. When the preacher was done, the
man said, “If God heals me, I’ll give the church a million dollars”.
Miraculously, the man got better and was out of the hospital. Several months
later, the preacher bumped into him and said, “You know, when you were in the
hospital dying, you promised to give the church a million dollars if you got
well. We haven’t received it as of yet”. The businessman replied, “Did I say
that? I guess that goes to show how sick I really was”.
It
is good and honourable as children of God to always remember our promises, both
to God and our fellow men. Joshua reminded the tribes of Reuben, Gad and half
tribe of Manasseh about the promise they made in the presence of Moses to pass
before their brethren and help them to possess their portion of the land
(Deuteronomy 32:16-19).
Fulfilling
our promises shows our integrity and credibility. God always fulfils His
promises to His faithful children; so, believers ought to remember all their
promises to fulfil them. We should resemble our heavenly Father in
faithfulness, honesty and integrity.
Now,
reflect on all the promises you have ever made either to God or man. Are there
any you have not fulfilled? If you have conquered your own territory and
possessed your own inheritance on earth, remember to assist your brethren that
are still on the battlefield. Brethren who are facing vicious battles of life
should be encouraged and helped, particularly in providing physical necessities
and in prayers.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:
Make your word your bond.
