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...

Theme: The Devil's Devices (Part 5)  Text: 2 Corinthians 2:11 Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. The second device used by the devil is DOUBT. Doubt is a powerful tool in the devil's arsenal that robs men of God's best I'll like us once again to look at Genesis. [1]NOW THE serpent was more subtle and crafty than any living creature of the field which the Lord God had made. And he [Satan] said to the woman, Can it really be that God has said, You shall not eat from every tree of the garden? [2]And the woman said to the serpent, We may eat the fruit from the trees of the garden, [3]Except the fruit from the tree which is in the middle of the garden. God has said, You shall not eat of it, neither shall you touch it, lest you die. [4]But the serpent said to the woman, You shall not surely die, [5]For God knows that in the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing the differe...

Theme:   Your Inherent Power Level Defines Your Glory Level   Anchor Text:  Mark 13:26 King James Version And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory. Glory is desired by most of us. We seek dignity, honour and even praise that is worthy of a successful life. Yet as believers we don't seek it the wrong way like others do. The anchor text says when Jesus returns He will be coming in both power and glory. Is there a relationship between this two amazing words and concept? If so how are they related? I'll try to explain it as best as I can... 1 Corinthians 15:41 says _ 'There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differeth from another star in glory.' _ This means that the level of glory displayed be it Divine, human or even created things differ. Why is there such difference? Using stars to illustrate, we know that _ 'stars shine becaus...
