• 1:49
  Speaker 2: in the future. Help us not to forget. In Jesus name,
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: I pray, Amen and Amn again. One thing that I
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: really appreciate about this series of thirteen weeks of lessons
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: for those who are new to the study. We go
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: thirteen weeks at a time and we study all kinds
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: of principles from the scriptures. But for the first time
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: that I can recall in recent past, and my mind
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: baby failing me on that we are continuing a story.
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: So the people of God were being delivered as God
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: heard their voice, they heard their moanings. He knew that
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: they needed to be delivered from captivity in so many
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: different ways, and we saw that journey under the leadership
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: of Moses. Okay, and now we continue the discussion and
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: journey under the leadership of Joshua, who came or picked
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: up the mantle from Moses. And so we begin with
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: the recipe for success. Let me ask you a question,
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: what is your recipe for success? I talk about success
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: a lot in my business, a lot about it. What
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: do you consider to be success? It could be in
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: your spiritual lives, It could be in your relationships or
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: in your personal development. What do you see as success
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: in your professional lives? And so the Bible actually gives
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: us a model of success, a model for success in
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: the context of our study, right from the Bible Book
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: of Joshua, chapter one and verse seven. Now, I want
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: you to listen to this keenly, not in a way
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: that you just get excited, or not in a way
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: that you're like, Okay, yeah, I've heard this before. But
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: I want you to forensically break this one down strategically.
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: If you were to build a model for success based
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: on this text, how would you diagram this? How would
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: you map it out? And the Bible reads, only be
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: strong and very courageous. This is the first word that
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: God is giving to his servant. Only be very courageous.
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: That you may observe to do all. So be courageous, strong,
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: observe to do all according to the law which Moses,
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: my servant, commanded you. So we're starting to see the
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: blueprint here. Do not turn from it to the right,
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: Do not turn from it to the left, that you
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: may prosper wherever you go. And so in just a
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: few words, we see a blueprint for success, or the
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: blueprint for success, and we see the outcome in just
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: a few words, let's break down this recipe that God
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: has given for success. First of all, the term to
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: be strong. To be strong means to be firm and steadfast, resolute.
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: Do not allow anybody to get you off your square.
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: I want you to look down and see yourself as
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: standing on a two foot by two foot square. And
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: there is where your calling is. There is where God
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: has determined that you or from the vantage point that
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: God has said or prescribed that you would work. This
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: is the way that you impact people. This is the
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: way that you impact processes. This is the way that
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: you impact protocol or the law. This is the way
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: that you deal with problems. God has called you to
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: be a certain way in this world. But be strong,
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: stay in your square, It's not that God is boxing
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: you in. It is, in fact, though, that if you
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: were a tool in a toolkit, then God created you
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: to be that tool in order to serve the function
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: of that tool. If you are a screwdriver, you're a
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: Philip said, screwdriver, then you are not a hammer. If
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: you are a hammer, then you are not a jef.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: You understand where I'm going with this. If you are
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: a jackhammer, you are not a tape measure. God has
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: called you a certain way, and he wants you to
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: be firm and steadfast to his calling. Okay, and then
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: be very courageous. See God said, according to the definition
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: of the term, to be bold, to be determined. This
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: is what he's telling his servant, after he has seen
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: a whole generation of people fall by the wayside. Be determined.
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: Do not be daunted, Joshua, do not be daunted. I
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: know that what you have in your past, or what
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: you've seen God's people go through, could get you down
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: if you allow it. I'm saying, don't let it get
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: you down. Be resolute, be bold, be determined, do not
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: be daunted. And then the word law. God said, to
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: observe and to be careful to do sam shamar. That
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: means to guard and keep and watchfully obey, don't miss
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: a spot. Joshua, I'm gonna give you the blueprint, Joshua.
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: Do not say, oh, it's not a big deal if
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: I have revealed it to you, Joshua. Let me just
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: say something to the people of God in twenty twenty five.
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: There are times that God has given us resources and
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: writings and inspiration. Some of you know where I'm going
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: with this. And when God gives you, let's just say,
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: he sends a prophet to you. He sends a prophet
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: to you. Maybe you're King David hah, and the prophet
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: that he sends to you is Nathan. If you were
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: to say that God, I don't need Nathan because the
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: Bible already says don't commit adulterree. Oh wait a minute, David,
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: but you did commit adult tree and so you in
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: your unrepentant state, David, King, David, I'm sending Nathan to
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: arrest your mind and your progress for the moment so
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: that I can get you back where on your school,
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: so you can be strong and resolute. You see. And
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: so when God gives you writings, he gives you the
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: truth in a way that you needed in these last days.
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: Do not say I don't need that, because God knows
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: your due, That's why he gave this. Let me continue,
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: be watchful and obey fastidiously what the law to rah
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: that instruction that teaching God's revealed will go back to basics, Joshua,
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: go back in twenty twenty five, God's people. Don't be
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: so creative that you have forgotten the fundamentals of God's
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: truth and you've turned it into something all complicated and
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: flowery and flamboyant. It's like, God, you have already given
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: us some truth, the truth in the word. Help us
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: to watchfully obey that word, those instructions that teaching god
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: Your revealed will and then don't turn turn not. That
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: word actually means to turn aside or to veer off.
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: Neither to the left, neither to the right. Do not deviate,
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: and then the outcome will come. You will be successful, Sakaw.
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: That word in Hebrew means to act wisely and have insight, prosper,
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: have insight that leads to success. So when he says
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: you will prosper, Joshua, when you will prosper God's people
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: in the last days. You will be successful wherever you go,
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: and I'm grateful that God has given us the recipe
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: for success through the lens of Joshua. Are you listening, peace.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us listening. Friends. Always remember we cannot
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: live by bread alone, but by every word that comes
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: from the mouth of God. This has been your daily
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: portion with El David Harris. Make it a great day. Yeah,
