The secret ingredient - Courage

 

Text: Joshua 1:6 (KJV)

Be strong and of a good courage: for unto this people shalt thou divide for an inheritance the land, which I sware unto their fathers to give them.

Life has taught us numerous times that courage is a vital tool and it is a command. Think about it, when we want to go or start something new, the most important thing needed minus the idea is courage. It is like a secret ingredient in that particular idea, and it is very important to have it. Courage is that one principle that has the answer even in those difficult situations. It allows one to act despite their fears. It is also the willingness to take the risk, and this is part of our inheritance and benefits in Christ. Joshua 1:9- Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest. Although, oppositions and difficulties come our way without any schedule, we still need to believe and be courageous in the God that we serve.

The truth is, there is a God in us like literally, He lives in us, and He never fails or forsakes His own. This is our assurance. We need to be hopeful despite the situation because, at the end, victory will be ours through Jesus. We should tell ourselves that those fears are not real, and for us to do so, we need to be strong and have courage to face that fear. Remember, no one was born with a DNA outside his or her maker, so do not allow or introduce the otherwise. Psalms 139:14- …. for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvelous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well. I tell you, the real courage is from the Lord, so ask Him for help even as you face those storms. I pray God will help us, in Jesus name.

PRAYER POINTS:

1. Oh Lord, please give me a new heart of courage so as to face my challenges, and become victorious in Jesus name.

2.Father, please help us to be strong and not to be intimidated by the empty frightening situation before us, in Jesus name.

ACTION QUOTE: Remember, every storm come first with a threat, so face it with courage as the answer.
