DAY6 - 21 Day of Prayer & Fasting – Encouraging yourself In The Lord!

DAY 6 - MEDITATE ON HIS WORD AND THEN JUST DO IT.

Jos 1:8 This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.

Joh 8:31 Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, "If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed.
Joh 8:32 And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free."

Joh 15:7 If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you.

Joshua was again commanded to be strong and very courageous, being careful to obey all the Law that God gave to Moses. This command is based on God’s power through His Word. This is a stronge exhortation, indicating that greater strength of character would be required to obey God’s Word faithfully and fully, especially to win the battles that lie ahead!

The emphasis in these verses is clearly on His written Word. To enjoy prosperity and be… successful in the Conquest of Canaan, Joshua was to do three things with regard to His Word:
(1) The Law was not to depart from his mouth; he was to talk/speak/confess it (cf. Deu 6:7);
(2) He was to meditate on it day and night, to ponder/think about it.
(3) He was to do everything written in it, to obey its commands fully and living by them. (Jas 1:22-25).

Joshua’s life demonstrates that in a practical way he lived according to the teachings of the Law of God, the only portion of the Word of God then in written form. This alone explains the victories he achieved in battles and the success that marked his entire life.

The Lord himself has said Abide in His Word! And when you do like Joshua you will make your way prosperous, then you will have good success, and you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you.
