Life In Jesus Ministry

And Moses said to the people, "Fear not, stand firm, and see the salvation of the Lord , _which he will work for you today..
Exodus 14:13 ESV

The word salvation in Hebrew is "Yeshuah the root word of which is "yasha" which means deliverance, help, rescue prosperity, to save, security and victory. It is also the root word of "Yehoshua" or "Yeshu" or Jesus.

In your deepest fear, in your times of turmoil, in your gravest situation there is Jesus, - rescuing, delivering, providing protection and giving you victory. Do be afraid but stay still and trust Jesus to provide you victory. Hallelujah.

‘A land for which the Lord your God cares; the eyes of the Lord your God are always on it, from the beginning of the year to the very end.’Deuteronomy 11:12

God guarantees you around-the-clock care. But you have a part to play as well: ‘If you earnestly obey My commandments which I command you today, to love the Lord your God and serve Him with all your heart and with all your soul, then I will give you the rain for your land in its season, the early rain and the latter rain, that you may gather in your grain [provision for all your needs], your new wine [joy and happiness], and your oil [the power and presence of God]. And I will send grass in your fields for your livestock [investments], that you may eat and be filled [blessing and success in your business and career].’(Deuteronomy 11:13–15 NKJV)

Bottom line: walk with God, trust him and honour Him in all you do, this will be one of the most blessed years of your life and a life changing decade. Hallelujah to one true God.

At that time Joshua spoke to the Lord in the day when the Lord gave the Amorites over to the sons of Israel, and he said in the sight of Israel, "Sun, stand still at Gibeon, and moon, in the Valley of Aijalon." And the sun stood still, and the moon stopped, until the nation took vengeance on their enemies. Is this not written in the Book of Jashar? The sun stopped in the midst of heaven and did not hurry to set for about a whole day.Joshua 10:12‭-‬13 ESV

The Israelites unleash a surprise attack on the Amorites, and right from the beginning the battle goes well. But as the sun sinks toward the horizon, General Joshua faces a decision. The victory isn’t complete, and once it gets dark, the rest of the Amorites will slip away. Joshua sizes up the situation and delivers one of the most gloriously unorthodox prayers in the Bible. He has the audacity to ask God to make the sun stop in the sky. To freeze time on behalf of His people. And God gives Joshua exactly what he asked for.

God still desires to make the sun stand still over the life of every believer. He is perfectly willing to perform the impossible in our lives if we have the audacity to ask. If we are not daring to believe God for the impossible, we are sleeping through some of the best parts of your Christian life. And further still, if the size of your vision for your life is not intimidating to you, there’s a good chance it’s insulting to God. Live the audacious faith life - every day.
