Then Joshua said to the children of Israel: “How long will you neglect to go and possess the land which the Lord God of your fathers has given you?
Joshua 18:3
A time came when the whole congregation of the children of Israel assembled together at Shiloh, and set up the tabernacle of meeting there. Even though they had captured most of the land, there were still seven tribes of the children of Israel which had not yet received their inheritance. Joshua then asked them how long they were going to wait around until they took possession of the land. This teaches us a number of important lessons about our own journey here on earth:
- The land is there for you to possess
Joshua told the children of Israel that God had already given them the land and that land was there to be possessed. God has placed a land or territory for all of us as His children to inherit here on earth. That land represents an assignment that He has placed you on earth to fulfil. When you wait on Him and obey Him, He will promote you to possess the land:
Wait on the Lord, and keep His way, and He shall exalt you to inherit the land; when the wicked are cut off, you shall see it.
Psalm 37:34 (NKJV)
- The key to possess the land is taking action
Joshua told the children of Israel that the land was there for them to possess and was encouraging them to take action. Likewise whatever assignment God has placed in your heart to achieve can become a reality if you are determined to take action to bring it to pass. James tells us that if we say we have faith but we don’t take action it is completely useless:
Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.
James 2:17 (NKJV)
Prayer
Dear Lord, please help me not to be a hearer of Your Word only but to be a doer in Jesus name.
