Scripture

Joshua 1:5-9

[5]No one will be able to oppose you as long as you live, for I will be with you just as I was with Moses; I will not abandon you or fail to help you.

[6]“Be strong and brave, for you will be a successful leader of my people; and they shall conquer all the land I promised to their ancestors.

[7]You need only to be strong and courageous and to obey to the letter every law Moses gave you, for if you are careful to obey every one of them, you will be successful in everything you do.

[8]Constantly remind the people about these laws, and you yourself must think about them every day and every night so that you will be sure to obey all of them. For only then will you succeed.

[9]Yes, be bold and strong! Banish fear and doubt! For remember, the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”

Courage to Conquer

Every battle looks fierce until you face it, every Goliath look insurmountable until you face it, every red Sea looks uncrossable until you face it. The courage to face your fear is the winners' trade secret.

It was Bishop David Oyedepo who said "what you don't want you don't watch, what you don't confront you can't conquer, nothing moves until you move". In redemption we are already a victorious; we are not a fighting army but a singing and rejoicing army. However, if you are not courageous to take what belongs to you, it will seem like your victory in Christ is a lie. The enemy is out to create several illusions of divers situations and people that look like they will swallow you but it's all a lie, once you take courage in the truth that God is with you and make your bold move he backs out immediately.

Courage is rooted in knowledge that the almighty is with you ALWAYS. You don't have to pray him into your life, he is already there. He remains silent until you move with the God-is-with-me mentality. He is already right there with you, do what you have to, say what you have to, be what you are meant to; nothing is strong enough to stop you or shut you down.

Prayer

Father I receive grace to take steps that will change my life positively no matter how scary they look for I know you are with me and you are leading me in Jesus name.

You are supernatural.

I love you.
