Courageous Faith - 2
"Be 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" - Joshua 1:6.
Sometime
courageous faith leads to dangerous situations. The people listed in
this passage did not always conquer the enemy without any injuries.
"Some faced jeers and flogging, while still others were chained and put
in prison. They were stoned; they were sawed in two; they were put to
death by the sword. They went about in sheepskins and goatskins,
destitute, persecuted and mistreated—the world was not worthy of them.
They wandered in deserts and mountains, and in caves and holes in the
ground" (Hebrews 11:36-38)
Even if we experience persecution or hardships because of our faith, we know that God has the ultimate victory. As this passage highlights, God gave His people the victory over the fortified walls of Jericho.
He used the least likely people, including a pagan prostitute, to bring about His plans and victories. Gideon was greatly outnumbered, yet he conquered the enemies. Barak trusted in God's plan and he defeated the enemy. Samson accepted God's call and delivered the Israelites from the Philistines. Jephthah trusted in the power of God, and God gave him the victory. David was able to defeat Goliath because he trusted in the one true God of Israel. Samuel fought the unfaithfulness of God's children and called a nation to repentance. Prophets like Daniel, who closed the mouths of lions, trusted God and triumphed.
I believe we can do same and even more, we can engage the enemy through faith in the victory procured for us by His blood, we just need to be courageous in all our faith adventures.
Pray with me; Lord, by your shed blood for me, I overcome all demonic opposition contending with my advancement in life in Jesus name!
Have a victorious week in Jesus name!
