Courage To Advance
Focus Word: Courage to advance
Focus Verse: Joshua 1:9 says Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.”
Declaration: I move forward without fear; God’s presence guarantees success and progress today.
Always remember - wherever you go, God will be with you! This is the Immanuel presence of God.
There are 4 major pointers in this message:
Courage is often needed at the edge of promise.
Joshua received this word when he was standing at the threshold of the promised land. Moses had led the crowd up to that point, and from there like a baton being passed, it was now handed over to the next generation. The curtain has fallen on the man of God, Moses, and next Joshua who received blessings from Moses’ hand himself, has taken on the mantle of leading the crowd to the Promised Land.
Courage is not only for crises. It is often required when entering new seasons.
Deuteronomy 31:7 says Then Moses summoned Joshua and said to him in the presence of all Israel, “Be strong and courageous, for you must go with this people into the land that the Lord swore to their ancestors to give them, and you must divide it among them as their inheritance.
Psalm 27:14 says Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord.
Isaiah 43:19 says See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?
I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.
God is the Ancient of Days but He prefers to do new things!
New territory can feel intimidating. God never calls you for work without going ahead of you.
Movement breaks paralysis. Courage lies in taking the first step most of the time. Once you take that first step forward, you will find the courage.
Courage is not the absence of fear.
There are two types of fear; negative fear and positive fear. Negative fears are phobias, and positive fear is when you see a fire and you don’t jump into it because you know you will be in harm. Positive fear is something that is good for you, and benefits you. The fear of God is a type of positive fear, it is not a phobia rather it is the type of fear which brings out reverence, love, obedience etc.
God did not tell Joshua to be fearless, He tells him to be courageous because courage decides who gets the final word.
Psalms 56:3
2 Timothy 1:7
Mark 5:36
No matter how courageous you are, there will be fear inside everyone! A person without any fear will fall into problems in life. Faith and fear may knock at the same door. Courage chooses which one enters. You will feel pressure but still be able to move on.
Courage grows from God’s presence.
The Lord your God will be with you wherever you go. This is what gives us courage. Generally, we find courage when we know that there is someone with us. The source of Joshua’s courage was not personality, it was the presence of God.
Exodus 33:14
Hebrews 13:5-6
Psalms 23:4
Confidence increases when companionship is certain. The environment may not change but the company changes everything.
Presence produces courage!
Courage is given to advance not to be stuck.
Joshua’s command was connected to movement which means that we need courage to advance and move forward. God gives us courage when we are given something new in our lives, be it an assignment, a project, a ministry, a business, a course etc. Difficult conservations, bold obedience, occupying territory, breaking stagnation, to come out of all of these.
Philippians 3:13-14
Acts 4:29
Micah 2:13
Courage is functional and the Holy Spirit will be the one who gives you the courage to move forward. Do not let in fear! Let in the spirit of Courage which is from God.
