1 After the death of Moses the servant of the Lord, the Lord spoke to Joshua son of Nun, the servant of Moses, saying:2 Moses my servant is dead; now therefore arise, go over this Jordan, thou and all this people, unto the land which I give to the children of Israel.3 Every place that foot on the sole of your foot, I gave unto you, as I promised Moses.4 From the wilderness and this Lebanon even unto the great river, the river Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, and unto the great sea to the west of the sun shall be your coast.5 Nobody can resist all the days of thy life. As I was with Moses, so will be with thee; not leave you nor forsake you.6 Be strong and of good courage, for you shall cause this people to inherit the land which I swore to their fathers to give them.7 So just be strong and very courageous, taking care to do according to all the law which Moses my servant commanded thee: turn not away, neither to right nor left, in order that you may be successful wherever you go.8 shall not depart from your mouth about these laws, meditate on it day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and prosper.9 Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of good courage, not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with you wherever you go.Joshua 1: 1-9
In a very objective, our message that God is telling us that He will give us the place where pisarmos, He will give us the place that dream.
If one day we dream of something because it is such a dream originated in the heart of our God.Every dream that really comes from our God for our lives, in fact, it is a promise from him to us, and how all the promises of God, well that dream will be fulfilled in our lives.
Just as the Lord told Joshua that he would win everywhere he, Joshua, put the soles of your feet He's also saying the same thing to us.
We note that our God said He would give the victory to Joshua about all the places that he, Joshua, put his feet. They noted that the Lord did not say he would give the victory to Joshua, where John Paul or put their feet but where Joshua placed his own feet.
That is why the Lord said to Joshua yesterday and today, He says to each one of us:
Arise! Pass this Jordan.
Today, the Lord is saying that we must rise up and we should not only look at the barriers, obstacles and difficulties of life. We must not stop because the face of adversity to do our part he does his. We have to do our part, but more that we have to bear in mind that our success or victory comes only from the powerful hands of our loving God. That's what we have to truly understand.
Our Lord told us that when we obey what He tells us no one can stand in for as he was with Moses, so He will be with us. He will not forsake us, He will not forsake us.
What our God asks of us is that we have faith in Him, the Lord Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit of God and we have our minds and our hearts focused on His promises wonderful and infinite strength and power that he alone has to give us. So we must be brave and courageous! So we must be strong! So we should not fear anything or anyone!
So! My brother and my sister that's what we do. The Dream is our God has placed in our hearts, but with trust in God, the Lord Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit of God must have faith, courage and hope, and every day we get up and walk towards the realization of those dreams that you placed in our lives. It is precisely those dreams that there will lead us to conquest and achievement of all our plans that God has reserved for each of us.
And not only is it not. There's more.
Our God also said that in addition to a fulfilling life, He also has a life of prosperity and success for all children.
Yay! Cool! That our God is awesome!
What we must do to gain access to these blessings?
Brothers and sisters! Our God is a God of love and a God of life. He wants and has always the best for each of us. So we can have access to all the blessings that He has reserved for each of us He asks only that, steadfastly observe his words and commandments.
Let us remember the commandments of our God:
1 - God spoke all these words, saying:
I am the Lord your God who brought thee out of Egypt, the house of bondage. Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
God in his infinite love for man never ceases helpless, He always comes to his rescue. What he expects the man to make that man act with justice and recognition as your Lord and be with Him for a faithful and grateful heart.
Transgression against God is very serious when a man does not recognize God as their Lord and Creator and still fall short of His glory does not belong. Therefore, Honor, Praise and bless the wonderful name of the Lord.
2 - Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above or on earth beneath or in the waters under the earth. Do not bow down thyself to them nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me, and showing mercy unto thousands of them that I love and keep my commandments.
This mystery is such that God again orders the man did not give glory, honor and praise to anyone, for he alone is the Master of the Universe.
The Lord warns us not to do or that we have at home and anywhere, picture or image carved in order to represent him, for God is a spirit. Being a Spirit He should be worshiped in Spirit and truth.
This kind of thing is a very serious mistake before God. In the Bible we can often see how God is sad and hurt when one of His glory to another person.Whoever she is, because Jesus is the only mediator between God and man (Timothy Chapter 2 - v. 5-6.). And no other name on earth or in heaven, and that man must use to invoke the name of Almighty God. (Philippians Chapter 2 - v. 7-11)
God makes it clear to the man who changed the glory of Him as He is disappointed with this act of injustice and unfaithfulness to Him
God is faithful and you? You are loyal to Him?
The Lord says that, for those who love the heart he has mercy always and strictly punish those who are close to his commandments, including passing the punishment for future generations. This is so that the offender suffers the consequences of his infidelity, but also that he suffered at seeing his offspring also suffer similar punishments.
3 - Do not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain: for the LORD will not hold him guiltless who takes His name in vain.
God asks us to have total reverence to his name.Never use God's name lightly.
4 - Remember the Sabbath day to sanctify it. Six days you shall labor and do all thy work: But the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God. On that day thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates. For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea and everything in them, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it.
The Sabbath day must be respected and be experienced in order to give glory, honor and praise to the Sovereign Lord, going to church, meditate on his words, works to assists, helping the poor, and take your holy name for all people who do not know. We must work and be chasing money, but of wisdom and greater intimacy with God.
Pay close attention to this: God speaks Saturday and not Sunday. So the Sabbath is Saturday and not Sunday.
He tells us to do as that man has his divine protection and knows how to handle life's difficulties. God knows that man is weak and sinful by nature and that only with your help it can overcome the great and many challenges of everyday life.
God wants to bless us and this is only possible if we put ourselves in his presence, to get in touch with his heart through his word and his divine company.
5 - Honor thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee.
Nobody will have a happy life is not honoring your father and mother, if man does not learn to appreciate those who generate it here on earth.how could he respects the supreme Lord of creation. That is why he warns that parents are worthy of all honor and respect from their children, and that this will be key to a happy and lasting.
6 - Thou shalt not kill.
7 - Do not commit adultery.
The first act of loyalty should always be towards God and always recognizing our One, Sovereign, Almighty and Good God and worship him alone.
Not having any image of God, because God is a spirit;Do not worship to any man;Do not glorify anything other than God himself;Do not betray the trust of God;Do not betray the trust of his wife;Do not betray the trust of her husband;Do not betray the trust of children;Do not betray the trust of the family;Do not betray the trust of the boss andDo not betray the friendship of him who placed all his trust in you.
8 - Thou shalt not steal. Do not look at all against life, against the lives of others, not killing the faith, not to kill the excitement, the sense not to kill, not to kill and not kill friendship within himself, love of neighbor.
Do not steal anything or anyone.
9 - Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor.
Never lying, especially when it is undermining the dignity and life of his neighbor.
10 - Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is thy neighbor.
Do not be jealous;Do not be jealous;Do not want anything that is not yours;Do not want your neighbor's wife;Do not want the next man;Do not want the car the next;Do not want the job and the nextDo not want the house the next.
Exodus 20 to 1: 17
When we obey the commandments of our God we can count on the protection and blessings of our Almighty God in our lives and in the lives of our family.
See also Leviticus ch. 26 - v. 1-10 all the blessings and wonderful promises that God reserves for those who truly love and obey his commandments.
Amen and thank God. Stay in the peace of the Lord Jesus Christ.
