He Who Leads A Team Determines The Stake Of The Team

ByCCGA Media

Text for Today: Jos. 6:1-10 “And he said to the people, proceed and march around the city,.” (vs. 7a).

A team is as strong as the capacity of the leader who is at the front. No wonder the Bible says in Zechariah 13:7 that, “Strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered.” He who leads a team determines the stake of the team at the end of their assignment.

The capacity of the leader to see greatness right from the inception of the task will go a long way in motivating the team to greatness. From our text for today, in the face of such a great obstacle, Joshua complied with the plan of God.

Though he may not have completely understood the plan or its significance, he followed God. Joshua moved the people to action. God could use a man like Joshua because he was a man of faith and a man of obedience.

He simply followed as God instructed. And the people followed. God instructed the people of Israel to carry the trumpets, with the ark of the Lord following for six days, and they were not to speak (vs. 8-10).

On the seventh day they were to follow this routine with one addition: They were to shout in glory to God because the city had been delivered to them, (vs. 16). What an act of faith it was for Joshua and the people to march around the city! No previous battle had ever been won in such a manner. Yet around the city they all marched.

It was an act of faith and an act of obedience. As they marched circle after circle around the city, I’m sure they could see the seeming impossibility of the situation. Yet they walked.

Many today pride themselves on living within reason, but God called His people to live by faith. See you at the top.

You are a Champion!

Further Study: 2 Chron. 15:1-23.
