Shalom sdr, my devotion today, Mon, Apr. 26, KINGS (Jos. 12:8). There were 32 kings whom were defeated by Joshua. They and their troops were so many. But they were not able to stand before Joshua. Joshua was nobody. He and his people were nobody. But he could defeat the kings easily. Nobody could stop Joshua for long. Every king lost their crowns in no time. Joshua was feared by the people at that time. Who was Joshua?
a. He was not a king.
He was never called as a king. There was no King named Joshua. There was never coronation or ordinance for Joshua as a king.
b. He was not a prophet.
He was never been called as a prophet. Although, he could be a prophet. He never claimed himself as a prophet.
c. He was not a seer.
He could not see the future. He could not predict the future.
He was nobody. He had no title. He was just a simple man. He was not a giant, handsome man, high educated man, etc. Many times he was called as the servant of Moses (Num. 11:28, Jos. 1:1). Yet, he was invincible. What was his secret? Walking with God. If we walk with God, we would be invincible. ASH.
