[S] Joshua 1:2-3 --
2 "Moses My servant is dead; now therefore arise, cross this Jordan, you and all this people, to the land which I am giving to them, to the sons of Israel.3 "Every place on which the sole of your foot treads, I have given it to you, just as I spoke to Moses.
[O] This message from God to Joshua tugs my heart today because being in a leadership position is constantly like being Joshua in this phase of his leadership. And come to think of it, when God called Moses by the burning bush wasn't quite ready to run with the ball and was full of fear and inadequacy. I don't think I will ever graduate from this school of leadership where I need to continuously learn about arising to go into the enemy territory and claim it as I trust in God's provision 100%. And that is what I need to pass on as a legend to my children, so they will carry it onward with the same attitude.
[A] The keyword, arise, spoke to me significantly as I need to arise despite the circumstance I am/will be in because that's the life of a spiritual leader to claim what God has already won for me.
[P] Dear Father, I am going to arise and be the claimer of Your fame and glory in the enemy territory (this world). May I be faithful at my own church and in my own community I belong. Please continue to remind me that You have given all these to me already. In Jesus' name. Amen.
