DAY SIXTY NINE | FIVE CHALLENGES OF SUCCESS – 5

Joshua 1 : 6, ” Be strong and of good courage, for to this people you shall divide as an inheritance the land which I swore to their fathers to give them.”

The fifth challenge for good success is THE FEAR OF CLOSE ENCOUNTERS.

In the land God promised to Israel there were enemies and giants. Great challenges lay ahead of them. Possession did not appear easy from the sidelines. Nothing is ever won or lost without engagement. You must fight the battle to win the battle. Victory belongs to those who get in the arena and fight for their lives and their futures. Before Joshua led the people to posses their “promised land”, a whole generation under the leadership of Moses refused to engage the enemy, and had chosen instead to turn away from the promises of God.

Refusal to engage your future will result in the following:
Nothing will ever be won or lost. They just slowly die.
You will wander through life in a boring wilderness of routines and rituals.
You will never possess the great dreams deep within.
You will live life vicariously through others.
You will settle for trivial things and small portions in life.
You will forever be suspicious and resentful of others.
Your only battles will be for survival.
You will struggle with the success of others.
You must engage to possess. Learn to engage God, others, your dreams and promises, the enemy, your future so that you can win the fight and enjoy the victory. Make a huge decision right now to engage life to possess it with all your might.

I promise you, there will be challenges and battles both within and without like you have never experienced before, but we both know that you are possessing what really matters.

Its your future! Go get it!
