Title: Life's Prosperity
Contents
Prosperous life (Joshua 1:1-9)
The most important thing in life is a person's thoughts.
It can be said that a person's thoughts determine the direction of a person's life.
If a person's thoughts are good, they become good people. If they have bad thoughts, they become evil people.
The people of today are the people they thought they were to this day.
Those who think to be blessed will be blessed, and those who only think to be cursed will be cursed.
A person with a noble mind becomes a noble person, and a person with a low mind becomes a lowly person.
※So, the devil first penetrates the thoughts of the devil and enters people through our thoughts.
This is because if you captivate people's thoughts in this way, you can control all of a person's actions and life as they please.
In today's text, Israel was the great leader, and after the death of his precious servant Moses,
As his successor, Joshua was appointed by God.
As you know, Joshua was a servant who followed Moses and ran errands.
How scared and trembling would you have been when you received such a great mission?
At this time God appeared to Joshua and said, 'I will be with you as I was with Moses...
I will not leave you nor forsake you; be strong and courageous,
Lead this people to the Promised Land.'
From the point of view of your parents, whether you are a grown son or an immature child,
The same interest and love goes to both the grown-up and the disabled.
God is not only for great men like Moses
All people of God who believe in Jesus Christ and are saved are the same.
He is someone who cares and takes care of you with love.
God is not only the great God who created the universe, but also
He counts even the hairs on our heads, and interferes with the fall
You are a delicate God, a good God.
So, how do you live a prosperous life?
1. You must have great faith and dreams.
John 3:16 says, "so that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life."
If you have a dream of great faith in living in this world like the wilderness right now, you will win and live a prosperous life
In Joshua 1:3-5, God said to Joshua, who lacked the guts, “Everywhere the soles of your feet tread I will
I have given you … There will be no one against you in your lifetime.
For as I was with Moses, so I will be with you."
He encouraged us and told us to conquer the land of Canaan with a vision.
Today, we too must move forward with big dreams and visions while we live in a world like the wilderness.
Only then can we receive all the blessings that God has prepared and live a prosperous life.
When you have a big dream of faith according to God's will, you can live a life of extraordinary success and prosperous life.
Your church is also in the spirit of saving more souls.
I believe that if you have big dreams, you will receive great revival and blessings.
2. You must have strong and bold faith.
Fearful, trembling, weak, and anxious hearts are often given by Satan and the devil.
2 Timothy 1:7 says, “God has not given us a spirit of fear,
but power and love and a sober heart.”
Only when we have strong and courageous faith can we fight and overcome the enemy devil and live a prosperous life.
Joshua 1:5 says, “No one will be able to stand against you all the days of your life, for I am with you as I was with Moses.
I will never leave you nor forsake you; be strong and courageous.”
To overcome the devil and overcome temptations, you must be strong and courageous. In addition
He also said in verse 7.
“Only be strong and extremely courageous.”
Verse 9 says, “I have not commanded you, but be strong
Be extremely courageous, do not be afraid, do not be dismayed.”
I hope you will receive these words as words spoken to you and be strong and courageous.
Isaiah 41:10 says, “Do not be afraid, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you, I will help you.
yea, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.”
When you have strong and bold faith, you will win and live a prosperous life.
3. Be loyal to your work
Before becoming the leader of Israel, Joshua served Moses well.
If you look at Joshua 1:1, "When Moses the servant of the LORD died, the LORD spoke to Joshua the son of Nun, Moses' servant, saying," Joshua did well as a servant to Moses before becoming a great leader.
Before becoming a servant of God, he must have served well as a servant of men.
Even though Moses was a human being, was he not without faults and mistakes?
As we know, Moses also had a Cushite woman, a Gentile woman.
It was enough to tap the staff once against the rock, but in anger I struck the rock twice.
It's easier to be disappointed when you see someone close up often than when you see them from afar.
Still, Joshua served Moses well without complaining or rebelling.
God is a God of order.
Moses' brother Aaron and sister Miriam slandered Moses and said, 'Are you the only prophet?
We are also prophets.” But Miriam, the leader, was disciplined even with leprosy.
It was received from God.
In fact, Joshua, who was close to Moses, was more likely to complain or rebel.
But Joshua was a good servant until Moses died.
He became a great servant of God and received tremendous blessings.
Even today, many churches have saints as deacons and kwons. Until I became an elder, I humbly followed and served the Lord's servant.
.After becoming an elder, he tries to take over the role of the chairman of the session, hijacking the authority of the chairman of the session, and trying to do his own thing.
There are many cases where the Lord's church is also swamped, and they themselves do not receive blessings.
Because Joshua was a good servant of men, he became a servant of God and received great blessings.
4. Do not lean to the left or right
Becoming a great leader or a successful person to the end
If you want to live a prosperous life, you must not lean to the left or the right.
You have to stay focused and live a balanced life.
Therefore, God said to Joshua, 'Do not turn to the left or to the right, and you will prosper wherever you go.'
The same goes for faith.
If the Tao falls into too much mysticism, who has seen what rather than the words of the Bible?
You will listen more to what you hear.
In the end, they believe in it more and follow it, but are deceived by the devil and eventually fall into hellfire.
When we cry out and pray, we have to clap and believe passionately when we sing.
Through the fire of the Holy Spirit, you can experience gifts and have living faith.
It is difficult to have experiential faith if you do not pray with your mouth open during your lifetime and do not believe in earnestly.
The Bible tells us that we must not lean to the left or the right in our religious life. We must not be deceived by the devil, nor do we get frustrated in the middle.
It is said that you will receive prosperous blessings and live a blessed life.
5. We must obey the Word
To live a prosperous life, you must obey the Word of God.
This is the most important.
Jos 1:8 says, “Do not let this book of the law depart from your mouth, and meditate on it day and night.
Be careful to do all that is written in them, and your way will be smooth, and you may prosper.”
Psalm 119:105 says, "Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path."
You must always meditate on the Word and live a life of obedience to win and prosper.
In 1 Samuel 15:23, God says, “The king has rejected the word of the Lord,
The LORD also forsook you to become king.”
In 2 Chronicles 36:16 and below, the Jewish people "smile at the angel of God and despise the word.
They reviled the prophet, and brought the wrath of the Lord upon his people, and made them irretrievable.”
I see in the bible,
As the Lord held him, the miracle of the five fishermen took place.
The Lord held him, and the lame got up and walked.
As the Lord upheld me, my dry hands were restored.
The Lord holds me, so I will not sink when I pass through the water.
It is said that it does not burn when it passes through the fire (Isaiah 43:1-2).
The Lord is holding you and me. So please believe that good things like Joshua will happen to me as well. If you obey the Word, blessings will come and you will prosper. Hallelujah! - Amen -
