GOD IS WITH YOU

Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be dismayed: for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go. Joshua 1:9

In more than over no times, God tells us in His Word, "fear not". He gives the reason why we should not be afraid: "for I am with you."

God told Joshua this very thing when Joshua found himself in a challenging situation.

When Moses died, God chose Joshua to succeed him. He was tasked to lead the children of Israel to the Promised Land.

Joshua was stepping into the shoes of that great prophet of God who struck a rock and water came forth, who prayed and manna fell from heaven, who stretched forth his rod and parted the Red Sea.

The Promised Land was also occupied by giants and it was going to take fierce battle to take possession of it.

Moreover, the children of Israel were stubborn and very difficult people to lead. In order to succeed in his new responsibility, God told Joshua, "Be strong and very courageous." God tells Joshua this again and again.

Why? He knows that how we perform have a lot to do with whether we function in faith or fear.

So He commanded him not to fear. And God reminded Joshua that He is with him.

Joshua got a hold of that revelation and eventually took the people over into the Promised Land. And God is telling you today to "fear not". He will never leave you.

Are you facing a challenging and dreadful situation? Don't be afraid. Be bold and very courageous for the Lord is with you in whatever you do and wherever you go.

Prayer: Father, I receive strength in the name of Jesus to overcome the spirit of fear and timidity.

Scriptural Reading: Joshua 1- 9

Discern This Time!

TEXT: LUKE 12:49-59

KEY VERSE: “And he said also to the people, When ye see a cloud rise out of the west, straightway ye say, There cometh a shower; and so it is. Ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky and of the earth; but how is it that ye do not discern this time?” (Luke 12:54,56).

Our Lord, Jesus Christ knew that our present generation would be preoccupied with quest for knowledge of the present and future. He knew that man’s scientific and technological apparatus would be inadequate to answer these concerns. He mocked the short-lived power of those who could predict a rain but could not foresee the revival of righteousness which He brought.

The Bible is also mocking today’s “all-knowing” world leaders who cannot discern global occurrences as happening according to Bible prophecy relating to the end of the world. As we read the passage for today, the Jews in Jesus’ days could not understand the storm of the impending violent Roman overthrow of their city and country in AD 70. They were also ignorant of benefits the teaching and sacrifice of Jesus was going to bring.

The counsel of Jesus holds true today for the sinner: God is both the adversary and judge of the unrepentant sinner; while on the way to the judgment seat, the sinner is encouraged to acknowledge the claims of Jesus Christ and through Him, obtain pardon and eternal life. Refusal to do this will lead to a life of punishment in hell.

For the believer, we are reminded that everything we are, everything we do and everything we own really belongs to God and should be used for the Kingdom work. We are to invest all our resources in heaven’s Stock Market which never crashes.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: This is the day of grace: repentance and salvation are still possible now.

Darlene Zschech: popular christian worship leader, Ends Chemo (Video below)

Nearly five months ago, former Hillsong Church worship pastor Darlene Zschech announced that she had breast cancer and would undergo chemotherapy. Now the popular singer and songwriter is thanking prayer warriors for their efforts during the battle.

Zschech announced she has officially finished her last round of chemo and says hallelujah is the best word to describe how she feels about it. The battle isn't over. She starts radiation this coming week and that will last six weeks.

"I shall be glowing from the inside out," she quips. "And then that's it. Never again."

Zschech again thanks her fans for continued prayers.

"On the days where I have felt I cannot do it anymore, I literally have felt the strength of people praying for me," she wrote on her blog. "The power of the Holy Spirit to comfort and strengthen has been beyond what I have ever experienced before. Again, I am so thankful for every one of you."

Zschech says she's had a lot of time to think—and think deeply. During this time, she says, she's reflected and prayed on many things.

"I cry easily, not necessarily sad tears, but tears all the same," she says. "Even when I'm laughing I end up crying. I think the tears have taken the place of words for the time being. This too shall pass. One day the words to define this season will come. And I pray they bring hope to all who hear."

"Even though I unashamedly begged for God to heal me before treatment," she says, "He said to me that as I walked through He would never leave me.

"This is the truth for all of us today, no matter what you may be facing, even if God feels far away, our loving Father will never leave us or forsake us. I take great pleasure in knowing this beyond a shadow of a doubt. He is with me. He is with you."

Zschech says she's excited about leading worship Sunday at church—the first time since the journey started.

"Even if its [sic] a bit rough and ready, leading people to the courts of our God is my greatest honor. I simply cannot wait!" she says. "His presence truly is heaven. We will pray on Sunday night for all those needing healing, and for all of you who've asked us to pray for loved ones. Yes we shall. Healing, in Jesus name."
