I NEED WISDOM

DAY 100

TEXT: Deut 33 - JOSHUA 4

Rhema Verse: Deuteronomy 34:9 “Now Joshua son of Nun was filled with the Spirit of wisdom, because Moses had laid his hands on him. So the Israelites listened to him and did what the Lord had commanded Moses.

MESSAGE:

         For a long time Joshua looked up to Moses. He saw the miraculous signs and wonders done in Egypt to set Israel free. Joshua saw how Moses managed  “stiff-necked” 600,000 men excluding women and children. He waited for Moses beside the tent, while he was talking and reasoning to GOD. He must have felt he can’t be like Moses because ‘Moses is Moses’, that’s why Moses and the LORD kept on telling him to be strong and courageous.

         But this is what I saw: Because he submitted and obeyed Moses, because he did not compromise to the popular report when he was sent as a spy, because he waited for his right timing, and because he waited for the presence of the LORD in the tent: GOD raised and lifted him up and filled him with GREAT wisdom. Only he and Caleb went in to the Promised Land among all their generations.

PROMISE: If you gather GOD’s wisdom, it will lift you up in life.

COMMAND: Gather wisdom: the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom… (Proverbs 9:10)

WARNING:  

APPLICATION: Joshua became a very good follower to Moses. In return what he sow he reaped GREATER than he expected!
