Joshua 1:17. “According as we hearkened unto Moses in all things, so will we hearken unto thee: only the Lord thy God be with thee, as He was with Moses.” LEADERSHIP.

If I choose not to, it will adversely affect others They will wonder if I am going to start a new war Whatever I do, I must remember sisters and brothers Will decide if they will act on what God said before.

Like those from the east side of Jordan did choose To follow Joshua as they conquered the land They had everything to gain and nothing to lose As they committed themselves into Joshua’s hand.

“Father, there are those are following my lead. I know this and feel very unworthy of their trust. I am asking Thee to give me politeness, gentleness, kindness and a gracious spirit. I pray for gracious words to say, a defined vision for others to follow, a sense of godly trust in Thee that is evident to those who follow. I am asking that by Thee grace working in me, they will learn to trust and follow the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.”
