TODAY'S DAILY BREAD
TITLE: 'Conquer Your Jericho' (2)
TEXT: Joshua 5:1-12
MEMORY VERSE: "At that time the Lord said to Joshua, “Make flint knives for yourself, and circumcise the sons of Israel again the second time.” (Joshua 5:2 NKJV).
COMMENTS
Before conquering Jericho, God told Joshua to ‘circumcise the sons of Israel again the second time’. Six hundred years earlier, God had inaugurated the practice of male circumcision. He told Abraham that it would be ‘a sign of the covenant between Me and you’ (Genesis 17:11 NKJV). What was the message here? Remember whose you are! In a sense, all believers have been circumcised. Paul wrote, ‘When you came to Christ, he set you free from your evil desires, not by a bodily operation of circumcision but by a spiritual operation’ (Colossians 2:11 TLB). That means you are now God’s child (John 1:12); Christ’s friend (John 15:15); a member of Christ’s body (1 Corinthians 12:27); a saint (Ephesians 1:1); redeemed and forgiven of all your sins (Colossians 1:14); complete in Christ, lacking in nothing (Colossians 2:10); free from condemnation (Romans 8:1-2); God’s co-worker (2 Corinthians 6:1); seated with Christ in the heavenly realm (Ephesians 2:6); God’s workmanship (Ephesians 2:10); a citizen of heaven (Philippians 3:20); adopted into God’s family (Ephesians 1:5); born of God, and the evil one cannot touch you (1 John 5:18). Again, Paul wrote: ‘Consider yourselves to be dead to the power of sin and alive to God’ (Romans 6:11 NLT). So when the devil draws near, stand up to him and say: ‘What are you doing here? I am dead to you!’ Don’t stand for his accusations, and don’t cower at his attacks. When he dredges up your past mistakes, tell him who you are ‘in Christ’ (2 Corinthians 5:17 NKJV). He has no recourse to this truth. He knows who you are. He just hopes you don’t or that you’ll forget.
If you have not given your life to Christ;
There's still time to accept Jesus as your Lord and personal Saviour right now without hesitation. The next minute may be too late.
PRAYER TO GIVE YOUR LIFE TO CHRIST
Heavenly Father, I’m sorry for living a life without you. I want to know you now and ask for your forgiveness. Thank you that you love me so much that you sent your Son to die for me on the cross.
Lord Jesus, thank you that you paid the penalty for my sin on the cross and now I am forgiven. I accept you as my Saviour and King.
Holy Spirit, please breathe upon me now, filing me with your life-giving presence, that I may follow Jesus all the days of my life. Amen
