Oct 2024 - Have I not commanded you, to be strong and courageous? Yes, You did God!!

Sabbath Shalom- Happy Oct 2024.

Have I not commanded you, to be strong and courageous? Yes, You did God!! 

Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go. - Joshua 1:9

This verse is like a pep talk, call to action, to step into next step, to face the God arranged trials telling us to have faith and trust in God's plan. When God's got our back, we have got nothing to worry about. Amen. 😊. He's like our personal superhero, giving us strength, courage, and all the wisdom we need to face any challenge. Period. We are called to be strong and courageous like Joshua, to meditate on God’s word so that we know His precepts above any accusation of the enemy or the culture around us. 

• This scripture emphasizes the need for courage as the Israelites face the challenges of conquering the Promised Land.
• The verse doesn't simply tell Joshua to be strong but gives a reason - "for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go." God's presence is the source of strength and courage for Joshua.
• The phrase "wherever you go" signifies that God's presence is not confined to a specific location. ADONAI is with His people wherever they are.

In Summary, this verse is a foundational principle for Christian living - facing challenges with courage due to God's constant presence and He should banish all fear and discouragement. True courage comes from trusting in God's promises and faithfulness.

Joshua was strong and courageous because he knew His God was with him. We should be also declare that God is with us, He will never leave us nor forsake us and will watch over us. Hallelujah ☺️

Wishing you an outstanding Oct 2024. 

Peace be upon The State of Israel and Us.🙏 
Shalom. 🙏🙏
In His Grip...🙏🙏🙏

God rewriting life stories

God rewriting life stories Reference Ps 18:20-24 Psalm 18:20–24 (The Message) captures David’s reflection on how God restored and renewed his life when he fully surrendered to Him. In Eugene Peterson’s paraphrase, the language feels vivid and personal—more like a heartfelt testimony than a formal psalm—showing how God restores, remakes, and redefines those who turn to Him. Amen. "God rewrote the text of my life when I opened the book of my heart to His eyes" is perhaps the most powerful image here. It shows that when David welcomed God into his innermost being, God transformed his story—redeeming it, reshaping it, and giving it new meaning and purpose. Hallelujah!  David says God “made my life complete” when he laid everything before Him, and that God “rewrote the text” of his life. This language highlights honest surrender, repentance, and the experience of being restored by God. 2 Corinthians 5:17 makes the same basic claim in a more compact form: “if anyone is in Chris...

I will Bless the Lord

I will bless the Lord, at all times...  Reference: Ps 34:1 - I will bless the LORD at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth. One of the most important attitudes we can embrace in life is making it a habit to bless Him continually. I use the word “lifestyle” on purpose—it’s not just for when we feel like it, but also for when we don’t, because it’s essential. It’s not only about what we do, but who we are.  David’s steady commitment was clear in his words. He received countless blessings from the Lord even before he became well-known. Before everyone knew his name, the Lord knew him for his constant praise and gratitude. Out in the fields, tending sheep in the green pastures, he would sing, dance, and bless the Lord. That was David's preparation to the bigger assignments.  Verse 4 from this chapter really spoke to me: I sought the Lord, trusting in His word, and He answered me, delivering me from all my fears. So, I bless the Lord—Amen, Hallelujah. He...

Real battle, Different rules

Real battle, different rules Refer 2 Cor 10:3-6- NIV- For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. 4 The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds . 5 We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ. 6 And we will be ready to punish every act of disobedience, once your obedience is complete. Paul's tone changes sharply in 2 Corinthians 10. After pleading gently for generosity toward the poor, he turns to face his critics, and he is no longer soft-spoken. They claimed he was bold on paper but timid in person, a man who threatened discipline from a distance and would never dare follow through face to face. In short, they questioned whether he had the apostolic authority he claimed. Paul's answer was to describe his ministry as spiritual warfare. The world is unprinciple...
