Tuesday, July 9, 2024Key Verse
“So the people shouted when the priests blew with the trumpets: and it came to pass, when the people heard the sound of the trumpet, and the people shouted with a great shout, that the wall fell down flat…” (Joshua 6:20).
Text — Joshua 6:20-27
Message
The Wall of any house or city, is very important for security and preservation. Once the wall is down, the house, the city and the people are subject to all forms of attack and invasion. Jericho in our study had been marked down for destruction and possession. Before the children of Israel, the wall of Jericho was intimidating and almost impenetrable. Yet, to possess their promised inheritance, they must bring down the wall of Jericho. As the children of Israel obeyed strictly the rules and instructions given by God through Joshua, and acted by faith, the wall of Jericho fell down and they possessed the land.
Today, Jericho wall represents barriers and problems that must be brought down before you can enjoy your promised inheritance. Like the children of Israel, you can bring down all things that symbolize Jericho wall through faith and obedience to the word of God! No matter how intimidating those barriers are, you can overcome and possess your blessings. Of utmost importance is the promise of our mansions in heaven. We must persevere, and overcome all hindrances to get there.
