TOPIC : FAITH IN HARD TIMES
TEXT: JOSHUA 10:10-14
[10]And the LORD discomfited them before Israel, and slew them with a great slaughter at Gibeon, and chased them along the way that goeth up to Bethhoron, and smote them to Azekah, and unto Makkedah.
[11]And it came to pass, as they fled from before Israel, and were in the going down to Bethhoron, that the LORD cast down great stones from heaven upon them unto Azekah, and they died: they were more which died with hailstones than they whom the children of Israel slew with the sword.
[12]Then spake Joshua to the LORD in the day when the LORD delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel, and he said in the sight of Israel, Sun, stand thou still upon Gibeon; and thou, Moon, in the valley of Ajalon.
[13]And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies. Is not this written in the book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down about a whole day.
[14]And there was no day like that before it or after it, that the LORD hearkened unto the voice of a man: for the LORD fought for Israel.
Joshua the savant of the Lord was confronted by four kings in a bloody war.
The Lord commanded him to attack and not to be afraid.
He attacked them and the Lord rained down hail stones on his enemies also.
When Joshua saw that it was getting dark and that he needed day light to complete his victory, he commanded the sun to stand still until he was done destroying his enemies and the Lord honoured his words.
So a mortal man can control the nature.
God wants us to have total dominion over all His creation.
I do not know what you are grappling with now, but if you will dare to speak with faith, you will soon be victorious.
God bless you.
With the God I serve, nothing shall be impossible.
Your case is not bigger than God.
May you have a God filled day in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
Your Victory is already guaranteed
It is well, do not give up, with God all things are possible
