It’s your daily dose of Fresh Manna Read: Joshua 1: 1-9
"Get ready" is a phrase that we all experienced being told at some point in our lives, whether by a parent, friend, teacher, minister, or coach. We have heard those words told to us for so many different reasons. But when God he tells us to get ready, he is preparing us for action. We have to make it up in our minds that we want what God wants for us. That by any means necessary we have to obtain our blessing and lay hold of our possession. We have to cross over from the old into our new. The crossing becomes a challenge when we are not equipped to withstand what comes up against us while we are trying to possess our promise. We have to leave our old way of thinking, working, seeking, and living to possess something fresh and new that is going to propel us into our promised destiny. With every attempt to move forward, our past will always want to hitch a ride. We can’t allow our past to dictate our future. In order to possess and take hold of our God-given inheritance, we need to pack light! Let the past stay in the past and don’t invite it along, it will only be a hindrance to where you are going.
The scripture says, “There shall not any man be able to stand before thee all the days of thy life…I will not fail thee nor forsake thee. This is a powerful declaration and a bold statement that only requires your belief. God's word becomes manifested when you come into agreement with it. To know that your enemy or foe cannot overtake you should be a relief. This is such a wonderful assurance on your journey to possess the promise God has prepared for you. All the days of our lives we can take heart knowing that nothing can happen without God's approval, and even then, what's allowed is in a controlled environment! There are limits and boundaries to what God allows in our life along the way to our possession. If you believe that God is in complete control and he is all-powerful, who can contend with him? Who can stand in obstruction before him? No one! If our mighty God is for us, who can be against us as we set out to possess what he has spoken? No plan of the enemy can stand against God’s divine construct for our lives.
We are able to possess our promise with simple instructions. (1). He requires that we cloth our self with courage (2). We must abide in his word and meditate on it day and night and lastly (3). Obey his instructions. The bible declares that when we do these things he will make our ways prosperous and then we shall have good success! There is an order that God wants us to follow. Our life journey will definitely have some roadblocks, hills, mountains, rivers, and valleys but be not dismayed, for the Lord thy God is with us. Are you ready to possess your promise? Are you ready to say yes to God’s way? Are you ready to have good success? If you are ready, get into agreement with heaven and sound the alarm and declare I am crossing over into my promise!
