When Joshua declared and proclaimed that he and his house, they will serve the Lord.
It was a total commitment to follow Jesus.
And us?
The time has come to make a choice.
Even though our parents were not believers, even though we came out of an idolatrous family, there is a decision to be made, there is a path to follow, a God to serve and it does not depend on others.
Joshua, faced with a discouraging, incredulous, distracted people had to make each one face up to his responsibilities.
Israel may not have experienced the wonders that God had performed with their fathers, but he had heard of them, he had testimonies, experiences but he was always ready and eager to follow other gods at the slightest opportunity.
Who split the Red Sea in two and cleared the way for him to cross?
Who made the manna fall from heaven in the desert?
Who made the water come out of the rock?
Who knocked down the wall of Jericho?
Day after day, the Lord proved himself, he displayed his love, he was faithful.
With all this, like these people, we are always oblivious, we fail to appreciate the mighty hand of God, we always walk around worried glances, we will always run to Egypt to rejuvenate ourselves and to serve idols, our hearts are always closed and we quickly abandon the path of God.
We must understand that we will not follow Jesus for what he gives us, we serve him for what he is for us.
This is why we must have a relationship with the Lord.
Miracles are not enough to cleave us to the Lord, if we do not cultivate the love of Jesus, if we do not nurture this flame, if we do not focus on the word of God, if we do not let God be us. break and heal our hearts, we will find everything normal, we will always be insensitive, spectators in our father’s house.
We need to know that there is a price to be paid, there are principles attached to walking with the Lord.
One of the rules for being blessed is to love the Lord with all of our heart.
Genesis, 35: 2 – Jacob said to his house and to all that were with him, Take away the foreign gods that are among you, and cleanse yourselves, and change your clothes.
Exhort others to return unto the Lord!
Jacob is the father of Israel, it is he Israel, it is he who bears the blessing, it is from him that the blessing comes, it is he who has the authority to transmit the generational anointing, c he is the one who will release grace and give the witness.
For the rest, Jacob had to make things clear, all those who were still wrong and who sheltered foreign gods had to make up their minds, position themselves and no one could do it for the other.
Remove = remove, remove, renounce, separate, abandon …
Let us take out of our lives and our hearts all the practices which are against God, which is of the world, which is futile, which is useless.
Back to God,
Let’s go back to the source,
Purify our hearts and honor the Lord,
He is worthy of praise,
He is the one on whom our lives depend,
He is faithful.
Hello the village
Good day
