Joshua - Inheritanceಮಾದರಿ
"You are old and advanced in years."
God promised Joshua that Israel would possess whatever he laid hold of. So Joshua went out and conquered. With the conquest of Jericho and AI, he divided the land like a military tactician. All told, Joshua defeated thirty-one Canaanite kings (See Joshua 12 for a list of the defeated kings). Then Joshua heard what every warrior dreads to hear: "You are old and advanced in years, and the work is not finished."
God gave Israel the Promised Land, but Joshua did not claim it all. He looked forward to a future day when Israel would possess all God promised them. It hasn't happened yet.
God promises us every Spiritual blessing. We can seek them our entire lives and not lay hold of them all. We look forward to that Day when we possess everything God promised us. It hasn't happened yet.
Challenge:
- Memorize Ephesians 1:3
- What has God promised you that you can't possess without His help?
About this Plan
Joshua and the Israelites were given a Promised Land inheritance. God gave it to them when He made a covenant with Abraham in Genesis 15. We also have a promised inheritance. This week we will explore the Spiritual inheritance we have in Jesus. A promise worth fighting for. This heavy-duty stand-alone plan is also part 8 of a 10 part series.
