TOPIC: GOD’S WORD NEVER FAILS
MEMORISE: Not a word failed of any good thing which the LORD had spoken to the house of Israel. All came to pass (Joshua 21:45).
READ: Joshua 21: 43-45
[43]. So the Lord gave to Israel all the land of which He had sworn to give to their fathers, and they took possession of it and dwelt in it.
[44]. The Lord gave them rest all around, according to all that He had sworn to their fathers. And not a man of all their enemies stood against them; the Lord delivered all their enemies into their hand.
[45]. Not a word failed of any good thing which the Lord had spoken to the house of Israel. All came to pass.
EXPOSITION
It is of utmost importance that we prioritise and give heed to what God says about us, placing them above the prevailing opinions of society. We have a duty to fulfil the divine plans and purposes that God has ordained for our lives. Our text today shows that God had previously revealed to their forefathers the land that would be their inheritance. However, their journey was not without its challenges, as they encountered numerous obstacles and engaged in battles with various nations before finally reaching the Promised Land. God’s promises don’t automatically come to realisation; rather, we must remain unwavering and determined in the face of adversity.
When confronted with challenges along our own paths, it is imperative that we understand how to respond appropriately. Firstly, we must be adequately prepared in the Lord to confront and overcome these challenges. Don’t shy away from, or underestimate the obstacles that can impede your progress towards your promised land. Stand resolute and fight, relying on God’s strength and power in Christ to ultimately achieve victory. Also, always remember and hold fast to God’s promises in His Word. This helped Joshua a lot in successfully possessing the land that God had promised their forefathers. It is unfortunate that many of God’s promises remain unfulfilled in our lives due to our lack of perseverance. Firmly believe that no Word of God will go unfulfilled.
PRAYER POINTS
1. Lord Jesus, help me to know Your power in this confused World.
2. Grant me the opportunity to rely on Your Word for the fulfilment of Your promises for my life, Oh Lord.
3. Lord Jesus, prove further through, and in Your Church in the land, that Your Word never fails.
