No More Shame


Hello everyone,
     Do you really know how much God wants to honor you and exalt you? Probably not! When He called Joshua after the death of His servant Moses, and gave him all the instructions of what he had to do to enter and possess the promised land, which would consequently put an end in all the suffering and shame the Israelites had been carrying for forty years. Joshua quickly obeyed Him and without hesitating he put every direction into practicing by doing exactly as God told him to do. He fully obeyed God. Whatever God asked from him he gave. "But all the silver and gold, and vessels of bronze and iron, are consecrated to the Lord; they shall come into the treasury of the Lord.” Joshua 6:19
     When we give to God what He asks from us we show to Him that we don't depend on what we are giving but we depend on Him. This is everything He needs from us. God doesn't divide His authority and glory with anybody. This has been the biggest mistake many people have made, they want God to remove the shame away from their lives, but they don't want to depend on God alone. They lean on many other things and this has prevented God from manifesting His power in their lives.
After sacrificing all the gold, silver and bronze as God had asked from him, Joshua was covered with God's authority to fight and overcome all his enemies. Not one of them could resist him all the days of his life, there was no more shame, no more poverty nor misery among the people of Israel. All the nations that turned against him were defeated before his eyes. Joshua was fully respected and feared by everyone to the point of seeing other kings bowing down before him. "And the men of Gibeon sent to Joshua at the camp at Gilgal, saying, 'Do not forsake your servants; come up to us quickly, save us and help us, for all the kings of the Amorites who dwell in the mountains have gathered together against us.'” Joshua 10:6
     Dear reader, do not accept to keep being put to shame by your enemies (problems), when God wants to exalt you and honor you. You have to depend on Him only, that's why He requires our sacrifice. When you depend on what you have or keep depending on others to solve your problems, God won't interfere in your situation and your enemies will prevail against you all the days of your life. What has been holding you back? Fear, doubts, weakness, worries with what others would say against you? If you do believe that God is with you, then there's no reason to behave like this. No one else can take this shame away from you and exalt you, but God alone. Make yourself dependable on Him through your sacrifice.
     No more shame, enough is enough.
