Title: We Are the Possibility of God

Joshua 1:2 We are the possibility of God
Good luck when you have it!! Does it mean that the seat after you leave is that big? If that person is the leader, the successor who succeeds him will inevitably have a greater burden. After Moses, the national hero and great leader, passed away, Joshua became the new leader.
Joshua who became the leader of over 2 million peoples Who is he? Are you the lucky one? Are you a good person in line?
It means that you must have great responsibility and leadership that you have become a leader before entering Canaan. This is something that the community needs to know, and you need to know it yourself.
If you look at history, leaders have that much self-confidence. The crowd also acknowledges it and submits to its leadership. However, there is a new fact that can be learned through the history of the Bible.
There is a difference between the leaders people try to establish and the leaders God has established.
Most of the leaders people are trying to establish are Hakbeol. Character. ability. built by delays. It's a possibility if you line up well or have strong backers.
1 Samuel 10:24 - Saul is chosen as the first king of Israel. He was taller than ordinary people. (He's tall, strong, and handsome)
After 1 Samuel 11:11, in the midst of a war between Ammon and Israel, Saul drove out Ammon and had a great victory / At this time, go to verse 12. “The people said to Samuel, “How can Saul be any different from us? Who is the Chinese? Bring them out, and we will kill them.”
In fact, Samuel opposed the election of Saul as king. The king himself was against it. But the people asked for a king to rule over them rather than God.
Seeing Saul victorious in battle, the people say, “Look, our choice was excellent.”
But God's standard is a religious standard.
1 Samuel 16:7 "The LORD said to Samuel, "Do not look at his countenance or stature; I have forsaken him; I do not look like a man. A man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart."
Even if I lack a little in appearance, even if I am a little short in height, even if I look small, or even if I am a little behind in my background and education, I see the center of my faith.
God is still looking for one person. We are looking for leaders who will reveal the glory of God in the nation and the nations within that community. Can't you guys be us? No, bless you.
Is there anyone who is giving up ahead of time saying I can't?
This is my situation, this is my situation, this is my appearance, etc. Please take a look at yourself to see if you are giving up on yourself.
I am trying to find our own potential through Joshua this time.
First, the possibilities of God begin with those who are prepared.
In verse 1 of the text, it says that Joshua was Moses' servant. the meaning of servant
‘Sherat’ is interpreted as one who serves as a servant for Moses. It means that he humbled himself and served Moses as a servant, not an actual servant. A more specific word is 'helper. It means 'collaborator'. Joshua followed and served like Moses' shadow for 40 years.
The Bible does not specifically speak of Joshua. There is no record that he was educated like Moses or had a good origin. just a slave. It is recorded only as a person who served Moses closely.
What would you have seen? Moses meets God. Moses obedient to the Word. Moses always interceding for the people of Israel. You must have always seen Moses who loved God.
Who is around me is so important.
When a spiritual person is always near, only spiritual things are always alive. There is joy in having spiritual conversations, sharing grace together, sharing joy, sharing gratitude, sharing prayers, evangelism and service.
When you are with a spiritual person, you will receive new strength, feel God's love, and overflow with grace. But if not, that's a huge minus for saints.
By the way...
If you live as a couple for 8-10 years, you can see that quarrels have become a habit. If you do research, you can see that many crises will find and spread to the family at this time. You start to see a lot of things you didn't see blinded by love at first, and you realize that there are more cons than pros.
Things that have been covered start with “Why are you like this… and sometimes reveal faults and shortcomings.
At this time, mature couples try to understand and cover them. Be patient with each other and move on. And we constantly strive to keep love from getting cold.
Joshua was with Moses for 40 years. Perhaps he knew and saw more than Moses' wife. He was everywhere in his ministry. No doubt Joshua saw Moses' human side. You must have seen the figure of a fragile human being capable of rising to gossip. But he already loved and respected him beyond his generous understanding.
He covered human weakness and respected even his weakness.
Dear saints, this principle is the most necessary part in our home, company, community, and church life. What causes constant conflict and discord in human relationships? Because they don't respect it and show it off.
In front of the kids, why is your dad like that? why is your mom like that
My kids really... I gave up / and broke me off easily. Why is this?
Because of our sinful nature. We all have a sinful nature. You never know when that sinful nature will be revealed. Even if it's okay, the moment a part becomes weak, it reveals its sinful nature. The moment you feel hurt or your self-esteem collapses, you express your feelings verbally and verbally.
The secret that we can overcome this sinful nature is through the perfect love of Jesus Christ. Let the perfect love of Jesus Christ guard our hearts and minds.
The way we can fill our minds and hearts with the perfect love of Jesus Christ is by strengthening the basic life of the saints.
All you have to do is focus on all worship services, and do your best to pray and serve. If you serve with unchanging heart, the Lord will give you grace when the time is right. bless you that will be put to use.
Gimpo - Elder Lee / Relay office / Development / Downturn / Always going well (I watched as an associate minister for over 2 years)
Four reasons for this - 1. Thorough morning worship 2. Open at 7pm 3. Close at 9pm 4. Thoroughly holy water on Sundays
Even if there are no customers, rain or snow - it doesn't change/ After all - on the way to and from work, the real estate is open.
Consistent mind makes success
Please believe that God, who has worked together for good, will use you in your life of faith. Please prepare yourself for that belief.
Second, God's potential begins when we have faith and vision.
Joshua was an active and enterprising believer. His active faith is shown at Kadesh-Barnea. Moses sends 12 spies from Kadesh-Barnea, where Canaan is visible. Their report was unanimous: “The land is definitely a blessed land. But we will never be able to get into it. In war, we will all die.”
At this report, the people were greatly discouraged and wept all night. They blamed Moses and blamed God for bringing them out of Egypt. There was a movement of rebellion, and a crowd was rising up saying that we should go back to Egypt.
At this time, there is a person who tore his clothes and got up. The spy Joshua. he cries
“We can definitely go in. ..they are our rice”
saints
A person of God must have such enterprising faith. You must have unwavering faith. You must see exactly what God will do with the eyes of faith and run toward the goal.
We have to listen to the gaze of faith and the voice of the Holy Spirit that God has given us, not the public's gaze or the voice of the masses.
Even if the environment does not change and people look different, they should not be shaken in the slightest.
If you go forward with faith, God will surely help you. God's power will be greatly manifested in the path of God's people.
The Lord says to the believers who go forward with this faith.
Isaiah 41:10
“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, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.”
The Lord will help you. The Lord will hold you with a strong hand.
Sometimes the Lord speaks even when I am weak.
“He gives strength to the weary, and he gives strength to the powerless. Even the youth grow weary and weary, and the young men stumble and fall; but those who wait in the Lord will find new strength. I will walk, and I will not be weary.” Isaiah 39:29-31
Fellow classmates,
God uses people who are thoroughly prepared. You use people through a lot of training. hard training. training called the podium. You are making God's leaders through relationship training with people and material training.
Therefore, wait and endure with prayer and patience. Even if you feel resentful and complain about it, cover it with the grace of the Lord. Do not sin with your mouth.
Forgive the faults and mistakes of wives and husbands. love it Children forgive and love their parents. Serve yourself so that there is no resentment against each other
Humble yourself like a servant and serve in the church at home.
what you dream of The Lord will make that vision come true.
There is a praise that I would like to offer together at this time.
“The way of life that the Lord showed me”
