The Sun Stood Still

DAY 102

TEXT: JOSH 9-12

Rhema Verse: Joshua 10:13b-14

“…The sun stopped in the middle of the sky and delayed going down about a full day. There has never been a day like it before or since, a day when the Lord listened to a human being. Surely the Lord was fighting for Israel!

MESSAGE:

         Joshua prayed, that’s why the sun stood still. For whom? For the Gibeonites, it was a royal city full of the best fighting men, but then, they heard and believed God’s word through Moses and now they are Israel’s converted-enemy (for they swore an oath).

         When their betrayed allies were coming up against the Gibeon’s, they asked for Joshua’s help. And God assured Joshua none of his enemies will live, once again he displayed his power, he showered hailstones from heaven, and the SUN STOOD STILL!

         It shows us the power of prayer and relying on God. Without God’s strength none can be accomplished. And for the Gibeonites, because they believe GOD, HE fought for them. The Gibeonites portrayed how the Gentiles received their salvation. GOD gave Jesus once and for ALL!

PROMISE: The Lord said to Joshua/Nerie, “Do not be afraid of them; I have given them into your hand. Not one of them will be able to withstand you.”

COMMAND: Do not be afraid!

WARNING:

APPLICATION: It’s empowering to know that GOD is fighting for me. I need to PUSH: Pray Until Something Happens!
