The Word of God

In the beginning of the book of Joshua, Moses has just died. Joshua is now in charge of leading His people to the Promised Land. In Chapter 1 the Lord tells Joshua: “I will give you every place where you set your foot, as I promised Moses.”

This marvelous promise wasn’t just for Joshua — it can also be claimed by followers of Jesus today. This means that we, as we head into spiritual battle for souls, God promises to give us victory.

But, before we can experience this success, we need to understand the conditions for enjoying such a promise. The conditions are found in verse 8 of Joshua 1, where God says: “Do not let this Book of the Law depart from your mouth; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful.”

Even though Joshua was at least 65 years old at this point, the Lord took him right back to the basics – spending time with God and His Word. That’s the key secret to successful living through Jesus Christ.

The Bible is the essential element for success in all areas of our lives, including our witnessing. No matter how long you and I have been Christians, we must purpose to spend time each day with Jesus Christ, and His Word.

Then, as you share your faith, God really will give you ‘every place where you set your foot.’ Victory, success, God’s way, that’s it!
