“Glory to the Precious name of our Lord Jesus Christ”

Zechariah 14: 21 Yes, every pot in Jerusalem and Judah shall be holiness to the Lord of hosts. Everyone who sacrifices shall come and take them and cook in them. In that day there shall no longer be a Canaanite in the house of the Lord of hosts.

May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen

Hallelujah 

We, the bride, the church should put on the whole armour of God.

My dear brothers and sisters in Christ, in the portion of the Bible that we meditated upon in the past days, we meditated along with patterns that for all of us, the bride, the church (male, female) God has ordained only one kind of portion.

Next, what we are meditating is that Joshua 17: 13 – 18 And it happened, when the children of Israel grew strong, that they put the Canaanites to forced labor, but did not utterly drive them out.

Then the children of Joseph spoke to Joshua, saying, “Why have you given us only one lot and one share to inherit, since we are a great people, inasmuch as the Lord has blessed us until now?”

So Joshua answered them, “If you are a great people, then go up to the forest country and clear a place for yourself there in the land of the Perizzites and the giants, since the mountains of Ephraim are too confined for you.”

But the children of Joseph said, “The mountain country is not enough for us; and all the Canaanites who dwell in the land of the valley have chariots of iron, both those who are of Beth Shean and its towns and those who are of the Valley of Jezreel.”

And Joshua spoke to the house of Joseph—to Ephraim and Manasseh—saying, “You are a great people and have great power; you shall not have only one lot, 

but the mountain country shall be yours. Although it is wooded, you shall cut it down, and its farthest extent shall be yours; for you shall drive out the Canaanites, though they have iron chariots and are strong.”

When we meditate upon the above-mentioned verses the children of Manasseh could not drive out the Canaanites. In that case they were made to do forced labour. Then the children of Joseph spoke to Joshua, saying, “Why have you given us only one lot and one share to inherit, since we are a great people, inasmuch as the Lord has blessed us until now?” God’s blessing was that in the church the people were increasing. The church was growing. 

Therefore the word of God that Joshua said if you are a great people, then go up to the forest country and clear a place for yourself there in the land of the Perizzites and the giants, since the mountains of Ephraim are too confined for you. This is because they did not drive out the Canaanites and that was a mistake upon them. 

Also, the children of Joseph said, “The mountain country is not enough for us; and all the Canaanites who dwell in the land of the valley have chariots of iron, both those who are of Beth Shean and its towns and those who are of the Valley of Jezreel.” And Joshua spoke saying, “You are a great people and have great power; you shall not have only one lot, but the mountain country shall be yours. Although it is wooded, you shall cut it down, and its farthest extent shall be yours; for you shall drive out the Canaanites, though they have iron chariots and are strong.”

The reason God is showing the above-mentioned things as a pattern to the church of God. The enemy to cunningly deceive the people he will receive place in the souls. Therefore, we must be watchful and first we must rebuke and bind the Satan. God should completely rebuke and bind and throw him away from our soul. For that to drive out the Gentiles from the land the portion is divided and is being given to everyone. In this manner when it was given, the children of Joseph even though they had great power they did not drive them away. Therefore we see that the forest mountain country is being given along with it.

Therefore, my dear people in this manner many among us even though we have the power of God we do not give it importance and according to their desire they live and do things which are not necessary and are becoming wicked. Therefore the power of our Lord Jesus, if we will be with strength within us then God will overcome everything. The enemy will be defeated and gone. We will be united in fellowship with Christ. Therefore, the word of the Lord in Ephesians 6: 10 – 17   Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. 

Put on the whole armour of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 

For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. 

Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, 

and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 

above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. 

And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God;

According to the above-mentioned verses if we put on the armour of God, we can overcome the enemies. In this manner by Christ let us overcome the enemy and receive victory.

Let us pray. May the Lord bless you all abundantly.
