There is More

Saturday 17 December
READ: Josh. 13: 1 - 2
MORE LESSON: Phil. 3: 12

Joshua was a man that did great things and was mightily used of God. He was called by God to step into the shoes of Moses the man of God and he succeeded in leading Israel from the wilderness into the Promised Land. He built on what Moses achieved and took it further for another generation. We need men that will take the work of the fathers in one generation and build on it in their own generation. We do not want men that will destroy the work of previous generations by spoiling all that has been handed over to them. The ceiling of the last generation should be the ground floor for the next generation as they build on the work of God. Like Joshua was, I pray that God will make you a son in His Kingdom that builds on the work the fathers have done before in Jesus.
It was Joshua that led Israel across Jordan and the river dried up in full wet season as the ark of the Lord led the way across (Josh 3:14-17). Joshua led Israel to battle against Jericho and won without ammunition, it was obedience to the instructions of God that made the walls of Jericho come crumbling down. Joshua was in battle against the enemies of the people of God one day and it was becoming so dark such that the enemy would escape under the cover of the night. He commanded the sun to stand still and Heaven honoured his voice. He won many victories for the people of God and conquered lands for Israel.
However, in the text of today, we see God challenging Joshua at old age that he could have done more. Very few men have achieved what Joshua did for God's Kingdom but the Lord says there was room for him to do more if he had explored that possibility. This leaves us thinking that no man is qualified to say that he has arrived and he cannot move forward in his furthering God's Kingdom. There is the reason to move forward in your career, ministry, family, finance and destiny.
This is not time to rest your oar and start talking about how you used to do exploits in the 80s and 90s. This is the time to do more than you have ever done before. The Spirit of God will come upon you today to do greater things and move forward, in Jesus’ name. What is more, Jesus commanded us, when He was leaving the earth, to do more than He did. Jn 14:12 says, Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father. Friend, Jesus said if you believe you can do more, therefore believe and do more.

Prayer/Action
* Ask God to anoint you to carry the torch of His light to the end of the world, in Jesus’ name.
* Ask God that you shall not die until you fulfil all your God-given assignments on earth, in Jesus’ name.
