Hello Assistants,
"Israel served the Lord all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders who outlived Joshua, who had known all the works of the Lord which He had done for Israel." Joshua 24:31
When we live in obedience to the word of God, we have the certainty that wherever we go and whatever we set our hands upon we will be more than victorious. That is exactly what happened to Joshua and the Israelites who lived under his authority. Joshua never hesitated in doing what God had told him to do though everything he did required sacrifices from him, but he did everything wholeheartedly and for this reason God didn't deny to bless him in whatever he needed.
One of the reason why God hasn't answered most of the prayer that many people pray is because they refuse to obey what God has required from them. Everyone wants to receive, but when they are called to give they don't want to do it. They Come up with several excuses, they create a lot of obstacles. God always acts with us according to the way in which with deal with Him. Everything that He wants from us is to obey His word and many times for us to do it we have to go against our own will.
