Joshua Installed as Leader

After the death of Moses the servant of the Lord, the Lord said to Joshua son of Nun, Moses’ aide:“Moses my servant is dead. Now then, you and all these people, get ready to cross the Jordan Riverinto the land I am about to give to them—to the Israelites. I will give you every place where you set your foot, as I promised Moses. Your territory will extend from the desert to Lebanon, and from the great river, the Euphrates—all the Hittite country—to the Mediterranean Sea in the west. No one will be able to stand against you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will never leave you nor forsake you. Be strong and courageous, because you will lead these people to inherit the land I swore to their ancestors to give them.

“Be strong and very courageous. Be careful to obey all the law my servant Moses gave you; do not turn from it to the right or to the left, that you may be successful wherever you go. Keep this Book of the Law always on your lips; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful. Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.”

10 So Joshua ordered the officers of the people: 11 “Go through the camp and tell the people, ‘Get your provisions ready. Three days from now you will cross the Jordan here to go in and take possession of the land the Lord your God is giving you for your own.’”

12 But to the Reubenites, the Gadites and the half-tribe of Manasseh, Joshua said, 13 “Remember the command that Moses the servant of the Lord gave you after he said, ‘The Lord your God will give you rest by giving you this land.’ 14 Your wives, your children and your livestock may stay in the land that Moses gave you east of the Jordan, but all your fighting men, ready for battle, must cross over ahead of your fellow Israelites. You are to help them 15 until the Lord gives them rest, as he has done for you, and until they too have taken possession of the land the Lord your God is giving them. After that, you may go back and occupy your own land, which Moses the servant of the Lord gave you east of the Jordan toward the sunrise.”

16 Then they answered Joshua, “Whatever you have commanded us we will do, and wherever you send us we will go. 17 Just as we fully obeyed Moses, so we will obey you. Only may the Lord your God be with you as he was with Moses. 18 Whoever rebels against your word and does not obey it, whatever you may command them, will be put to death. Only be strong and courageous!”

  • Yes we have to continue to build up our sisters and brothers in faith so we cant get complacent or comfortable.



  • Prophetess Dannetta Moore said:

    We must not get complacent in what God has given us, but we must press on building up our brothers and sisters in faith.  God always brings about clarity when we seek Him. God never releases things to us that will bind us, but His blessings are rich without any sorrow.

    Lord let us be in an agreement with this verse.

  • After the death of Moses, the Lord said to Joshua, my servant Moses is dead, and for him and all the people to get ready to cross over the Jordan River into the land that God was getting ready to give them. Joshua told the people that that had to pass over Jordan and they will posses the land because God had said it. The people of Israel obeyed Joshua and all he commanded them to do, they did it without murmuring or disputing whether they should go or not.

  • Dare to say Yes."If it is right and it is God Just say Yes."If God is leading you, trusting and guiding you with His idea" Just say yes. "Yes when God puts a passion within you that you can"t dismiss" Yes when doors open that you can't explain. When you say Yes to Jesus He Promised to never leave, abandone or fail you after you have really commited to do God's work and God's will. After you have checked the price what is it going to cost. Jesus made it clear that everything that is nice has a price. It's Still Yes. We know the price we'll have to pay to succeed, but we also know the price we'll have to pay if we walk away and ignore the call. He needs us to be leaders strong and courageous and with faith. He is calling us. I don"t know what lies before us, it might be risky, but trust Him, stay connected with Him and He will bless you, and He will be with you everywhere you go. Mother: Pastor Shirley Lee.......... Send me Lord I'll go. where you lead I'll follow.  .

  • God is the same, yesterday, today, and future, unchanging. God is omnipotent, he is forever. Incredible he did it for Moses, he'll do it for you. Victory grace and mercy, and incredible God deserves incredible praise.
  • Amen it is the same for us that the Lird will be with us. We are to be strong and courageous.
  • Amen when it's your time to move in to leadership God will be with you to lead His people where he will have them to be. When you help the people of God he will give you rest in your own land. Amen
