Theme: Complete Obedience: Requirement for Success 
Anchor Text: Joshua 11:15
_As the LORD commanded Moses his servant, so did Moses command Joshua, and so did Joshua; he left nothing undone of all that the LORD commanded Moses._

One of the most successful period the Israelites ever had in their history as a nation was under Joshua's leadership. In fact most theologians and bible scholars refer to the book of Joshua as a book of success. While the book of Judges is a start contrast as it records a lot of failures of the Israelites as a nation.

Remember what the Lord Himself told Joshua in Chapter 1 verse 8? 'This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.' 


That verse is an indication that success was foremost in the mind of God when He assigned Joshua the task of leading the Israelites. How Joshua achieved this success was primarily based on His obedience. The Lord told Him that he (Joshua) is to do according to all (not some but all) that was commanded in the book of the Law.

If we know the scriptures well, we know that the book of the law was written by Moses as the Lord instructed him. And our anchor text said that Joshua did not leave anything undone of all that Moses commanded him as the Lord commanded Moses. That means it was complete and total obedience to instruction and commands.

We all know that partial obedience prevented Moses from entering the promise land because he struck the rock instead of speaking to the rock. Just that cost him dearly.

Saul the first king of Israel also suffered the same fate. Partial obedience cost him his throne and a dynasty that was to exist forever. 'Obedience is better than sacrifice' was the remark Saul got from the prophet Samuel.
 
The level of success you enjoy is dependent on your level of obedience to Divine instructions and commands

Prayer: Spirit of the Living God work in us and cause a transformation so strong in us that our wills be fully submitted and obedient to your instructions and directions. May we not try to do things by our own intellect and strength rather we would live in complete compliance to your commands in Jesus name

Theme: My God: My Shepherd Anchor Text: Psalms 23:1 The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. The 23rd Psalm is one of the most well known passages of the Bible. The description is so vivid and real that it is certain that the one who wrote this understood and must have an in-depth experience concerning that which he wrote. The 23rd Psalm is a psalm of assurance and it's opening verse sets that in motion immediately. David probably thought of himself as a shepherd leading those sheep through the mountains and finding pasture and water for them. Not to mention the times he had to fight beasts to keep them safe. He then thought of how God had led him through the years and all he could say was the Lord is my Shepherd. How often have you thought of God's guidance, provision and protection deeply for these are the functions of a Shepherd towards his sheep. He guides them, provides for them and protects them. The Lord is my Shepherd: I don't need to go worrying abo

Topic: Love Not The World Text: 1 John 2:15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him . John the Apostle had a personal relationship with Jesus during His time here on Earth. The relationship was so deep that he was referred to as "the beloved" of Jesus. Therefore, he understood what it means to love Jesus and be loved by Jesus. In his epistle, he decides to speak a great deal about love. Love is one of the major themes of this apostle. So much so it earned him the nickname 'The Apostle of love" John submission is that anyone who loves the world does not have the love of the Father. Which is why he encouraged the believers no to love the world, nor the things in it. Sadly, many believers have not only fallen in love with the world, but have laid in bed with the world. This is the tragedy of the 21st century church. The Greek word which is translated as the "world

Theme: Isaiah 43:18-21 interpreted in relation to  Salvation. (Pt 11) Sub Theme: All will Honour God Anchor Text: Isaiah 43:20 The beast of the field shall honour me, the dragons and the owls: because I give waters in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert, to give drink to my people, my chosen. Based on our anchor text, we discover that the reason the beast of the field, dragons and the owls would honour God was because He gave waters in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. Like we have established already that the Holy Spirit is the One who causes waters in the wilderness (salvation) and rivers to flow in the desert (Holy Spirit baptism). These creatures mentioned weren't physical rather they were spiritual entities. They were the demonic forces that try to oppose God's rule on Earth. And in order for God to establish His authority, He needs to make use of human entities as well. So Jesus gave His disciples a glimpse of how this is to work even though the Ho
