Inherit Your Inheritance

Glory Days
Chapter 2
Joshua 1:1-6

In Joshua 1:1-6 we read about the death of Moses and the leadership of God's people was given to Joshua. Moses may be dead, but God is alive. The leader has passed, but the Leader lives on.

Joshua had reasons to say "I can't" to God's assignment:

1) Moses was gone.
2) The people were inexperienced.
3) The Canaanites were ruthless

But God gave Joshua reasons for faith:

"Arise, go over the Jordan, you and all this people, to the land which I am giving to them" (Joshua 1:2). Joshua wasn't sent to take the land, but to receive the land God had taken for him.

Joshua received his inheritance. Have you received yours? If you have given your heart to Christ, God has given Canaan to you. He "has blessed (you) with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly palaces in Christ" (Ephesians 1:3).

Conversion is more than the removal of sin. It is a deposit of power. (2 Corinthians 5:17, Hebrews 13:21, 2 peter 1:3) You fight from victory, not for victory.

You were placed in God's family (John 1:12). Since you are a part of God's family, you have access to the family blessings (Ephesians 1:4, Romans 8:16-17, 1 John 4:17).

Why do we still worry and fret?

1) We don't know about our inheritance.
2) We don't believe in our inheritance.

The Promised Land life is yours for the taking. The same force that raised Christ from the dead will turn every "I can't" into "I can" (Philippians 4:13).
