3. The Lord encourages Joshua to represent the tribe of Ephraim in reconnoitering
the promised land. “Yet there shall be a space between you and it about two
thousand cubits by measure come not near unto it, that ye may know the way by
whichyemustgo;foryehavenotpassedthiswayheretofore.”(Joshua 3:4)
Joshua told his people that they should know the way before they start a new
journey to lead Israel into Canaan as it was essentially a military operation.
Joshua found himself confronted by a personage who might be a foe or ally. His
challenge elicited that the stranger was neither, but commander of the army of
The Lord who had come not to help but to supersede Him. He was to learn that
thereisaspiritualsideeventoearthlywarfare.
When time came for Joshua to assume full command of the Nation, he was
fortified with strong reassurance. “Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of
a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for The Lord thy God is
withtheewhithersoeverthougoest.”(Joshua 1:9)
Joshua was granted privileges and so he possessed the power of clear decision
and direction fromThe Lord that he might know the way by which he must go and
live for The Lord and feel the responsibility of accomplishing His work. Jesus
said to His disciples “Go ye unto all the world and preach the word, and make
disciples.” (Matt. 28: 18 ).Thank God for the assurance that the word is a heritage
for allwho loveTheLord.
The more we grow in grace the more we depend upon God for His wisdom. You
know in all your hearts and in all your souls that not even one thing has failed of
allthegoodthingswhichTheLordyourGod spoke concerningyou.
We need to choose you this day to serve The Lord whole heartedly to the trust
worthiness of God. The blessings we enjoy this and everyday come from our
loving father to help us on our way. But as for me and my house, we will serveThe
Lord.(Joshua 24:15).
This New Year The Lord may give each one of us a new direction to our mind,

May God bless you and your family as you choose the right way to serve Him

WISDOM FOR THE HEART
The Bible abounds with men of merit, it also abounds in many other things with
principles of fellowship. God’s primary method is to make men self-known. “The Lord
hathsought outamanafterHis own heart”(ISamuel13:14).
But in many cases, it was often marred by failure.The key to David’s life was his attitude
towards God. God’s glory was His greatest concern; it is recurring theme of His Psalms.
In his fight with, Goliath, he showed no concern for personal glory. His life was marked
notby ambition,butby aconsumingdesiretosecureGod’s glory.
He praised God continually with his whole heart. His drift from this position, through
serious, was temporary rather than habitual. Towards the end of his life he wanted to
build a house for The Lord. To him this would be the crowning achievement (2 Samuel
7:1-3). When God denied His proposal He did not sulk, but did what all he could to
prepare for its building by his son, Solomon. His desire kindled Solomon’s enthusiasm
(II Chor 6:8-9). David was the only one in the Bible called a man after God’s own heart
(Acts 13:22) He was so called because David did what was right in the eyes of The Lord,
and had not turned aside from anything that The Lord had commanded him all the days
ofhislife,exceptinthematterofUriahtheHittite(1Kings 15:5).
Likewise, we speak of Abraham’s faith and of Moses’ meekness. Every man is a
representative of some feature wrought into him developed in him. When we think of a
man, the future is always uppermost in our mind. Our attention is drawn not to the man as
a whole but to the characteristic which marks him in particular. So, if one calls us to
passes the faith ofAbraham, another will bid us to remember the patience of Job. These
features are God’s thoughts, and when all the features of all the men are gathered and
combined, they represent Christ. It is as though God had scattered one man over the
generationsandinamultitudeofmenunderHis mightyhand.
In other words, ifThe Lord has called us to a work, His resources are available right up to
the fulfilment of that calling. The supply is there according to the gift, the race according
to the gift, the vital force according to essential function. It is all there blessed be unto
Him.
Today as Christians we are facing many challenging issues in India. Nevertheless, our
God is the God of all history with sovereign wisdom and understanding. Today the
gospel is advancing throughout India despite heavy odds. Our Graduates in Good News
Bible College and Seminary are transforming their societies with their profound love for
God and passion for perishing souls. We thank our Graduates for their sincere
commitmentandeffortsinbuildingtheKingdomofGod.
We always give thanks to God and gracious prayers to Him and strategic partnership
with you. When I pray for you daily my heart is filled with gratitude and joy for the
fellowship and the way that God has brought us together with a purpose to fulfill the
great commission to reach the un-reached millions of dying souls all over the world. It is
my sincere prayer and desire that “Each one….Teach one – Each one…Reach one”.
Jesus Christ has promised “I will build my Church” and the gates of hell will not
overpowerit.”(Matt.16:18)
We praise God the gospel continues to impact our lives all over India. May The Lord’s
richestblessings beuponyouallandyour families-throughouttheNewYear.
