Joshua has received instructions from God - be strong and of good courage. His first instruction to the children of Israel is this - prepare yourselves for in three days we are passing over this Jordan to take the promise land. The first city to be taken was going to be Jericho. During this time also the river Jordan has overflowed its banks. How are the children of Israel going to cross this river? Never forget this - the greatest challenge to any great endeavour lies at the beginning and at the end. The first step and the last step is the most challenging. At the beginning, one has to contend with the sweet influences of procrastination but also fear at times. The fear of drowning if you start this project, this endeavour. Israel took three days to prepare. Never start a project without waiting on the Lord for divine intelligence. Joshua got to know how to cross the Jordan at the end of the three days. Let the priests with the ark of covenant move in first and as soon as their feet touches the waters it will part a way for you. Easy! Nothing can and nothing should stand between you and your promise land. They Ason realised that the first city to contend with was Jericho. What did Joshua do? He sent spies to gather military intelligence. People of God, whatever you want to do after praying research about it. Find out more what others have done in that same project, what was their challenge, etc. By intelligence Joshua soon learnt that the walls of Jericho are not ordinary. 12 horses can race on the wall. How are they going to bring this wall down? But you know what? If God has delivered a thing or a people into your hand no matter what you will take it. Joshua and Israel soon learnt that the people of Jericho are afraid even though their walls are thick. His also raised for them an insider to help them. Rahab, an harlot, who no one regarded is the one Jehovah raised as an insider for victory. Precious One this message is for you.
