YOUR WALL OF JERICHO WILL FALL DOWN IF YOU FOLLOW DIVINE INSTRUCTION (Sunday, 4th October 2026)
Text for Today: Jos. 6:1-21 “And it happened when the people heard the sound of the trumpet, and the people shouted with a great shout, that the wall fell down flat.” (vs.20).
When the children of Israel were done wandering in the desert 40 years Moses had died and Joshua was in charge. They were to occupy the land flowing with milk and honey, the Promised Land but Jericho stood in the way. God told Joshua how to take Jericho (Joshua 6). Jericho was a well-fortified city, when they shut the gates the citizens inside were protected. Joshua and the people of Israel believed God and did what He told them to do. The city was conquered because they believed the promise of God. They did not physically fight a battle; God did the work for them. God could have used a fault line that leveled Jericho’s walls, but it doesn’t matter how He fulfilled His promise, the important thing is that it was God’s responsibility to work out the details; they simply believe His promise and complied with it.
Many of us have also had instances where, ignoring the facts, we trusted God, and we saw His deliverance. So, are you facing giants and walled cities? Does it seem there will be no answer and nowhere to turn? Perhaps if you think back, you’ll remember where the Lord has delivered you before? If He did it once, He’ll do it again. I charge you to simply follow divine instructions and see how great our God is, in taking care of our battles. Most of all, we all have the unchangeable promises of an unchangeable God (2 Peter 1:4). He has promised to never leave us or forsake us (Heb. 13:5) and to go with us to the end of the world (Matt. 28:20). With promises like that the giants don’t look so big, do they?
You are a Champion!
Further Study: 2 Kings 4:1-7.
