THE LIFE OF JOSHUA – LESSON 11

THE DAY THE SUN STOOD STILL

After the conquest of Jericho and Ai, Joshua and Israel returned to their base camp at Gilgal. The news of their victories spread rapidly through Canaan. It caused great fear. The Hittites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites formed an alliance to pool their armies to fight together against Israel.

Meanwhile, the leaders of Gibeon took a different strategy. They seemed to understand that nobody could survive by fighting Israel and their God, Jehovah. They made a deceitful plan. They went to Gilgal and pretended to be from a faraway country. They proposed to make a league with Israel as servants to them. It would include their surrounding neighbors.

In Joshua 9:14-15 we see that Joshua and his princes did not inquire of God about this. They simply followed their own reasoning. They made that alliance with Gibeon. They “bought the lie.” Three days later Joshua found out about the deceit. It was too late to change anything because they were already bound to an oath of allegiance. However, the Gibeonites and their allies would become servants to Israel.

Upon hearing of Gibeon’s alliance with Israel, the kings who had allied themselves to fight against Israel set out to destroy Gibeon. The Gibeonites appealed to Joshua to come defend them. Joshua and Israel came to their aid. Joshua fought successfully against those five kings killing many of their soldiers. God also sent large hailstones which killed many of them.

Joshua wanted complete victory that day, but the day was getting late, and they were still fully engaged in battle. This is the day that Joshua spoke to Jehovah and commanded the sun and the moon to stand still.

God granted Joshua that miracle and time stood still. The day was prolonged to give Israel complete victory. The five kings, knowing that they were beaten, hid in a cave. When the battle was finished Joshua found them and had them executed.

The story of Gibeon shows that Joshua was not perfect. He failed to ask the LORD about these Gibeonites. By trusting his own judgment, he made a mistake. Consequently, he could never rid the country of the inhabitants of Gibeon or their allies in Cheph’irah, Bee’roth, and Kir’jathjearim (Joshua 9:17). This mistake meant he could never purge Canaan of the pagans as he had been commanded. It was a failure.

Despite Joshua’s failure, God granted the miracle that Joshua spoke by causing time to stand still so that the battle could be completely won. That was a miraculous victory. It shows you and me that even when we foolishly make a serious mistake, God will still answer and bless us when we call upon Him as Joshua did.

FAITHFUL

Over the years I have met people of many different positions. I say positions not levels deliberately. We tend to see people that have high positions as deserving more honor than someone that is what most would call a common laborer. We often deem success as having “things.”

I was part of a church years ago where the pastor made a very profound statement. It was, “Man says loves things and use people, but God says love people, and use things.” Some would do anything to climb the ladder of power and become what the world would call successful. They use their friends and family to get there. Sadly, when they get to the top, they find it is very lonely.

The opposite is true in the kingdom of God. Jesus said in Luke 16:10-13, “He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much: and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much. If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon (riches) who will commit to your trust the true riches? And if ye have not been faithful in that which is another man’s who shall give you that which is your own? No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other, or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon (riches.)”

In Mark 10:44 Jesus spoke and said, “And whosoever of you will be chiefest, shall be servant of all.” Jesus came as a suffering servant. He came to serve and not be served. He was found faithful all the way to the cross. He is our example of being faithful.

Servanthood means we are faithful with what God gives us. Be it much, or a little, what we do with what he gives us determines our reward in heaven. A servant’s heart means it looks to serve others and not be served. It lives a life of selflessness, not a life of selfishness.

When Jesus comes back, he will reward us for our faithfulness with what we have been given, not for our success the way the world sees it. Do not be jealous when someone has more than you. They will be held more responsible than you. Remember, it is not about “things.” It is about being found faithful.

PROPHETIC EXHORTATION

HELEN SANDERS

Woe unto the prophets that would prophesy that all is good when there is a shaking and quaking coming that will bring men to their knees and bring destruction and famine. Woe to those that sit in the pew and listen for a tickling ear message, for I would say that your ears will burn with the word of God that will bring down houses that say they are of me, and they are not. Woe unto them that prophesy that riches and fame are yours for the asking, for I would say unto you that the riches of this world shall bring you down saith the Lord. This is the season of cleansing, and my fire shall burn throughout the land. It will burn in the churches that have stood on the fence and they shall be burned without repentance. It shall burn in lives that have compromised the word and have shared what men want to hear rather than what I would have them hear. The day of the false prophet will be made more clearer than ever. For I will expose those that have secret sin and will bring them to their knees in repentance or will burn them up along with their vanities saith the Lord. For this is the hour that will bring much sorrow to those that have not heeded the call to come to me and be repentant of heart. For there will be much sorrow as plague after plague will be sent just as in the days of Moses before Pharaoh. For I will bring judgment on those that have said good is evil and evil good. It will start with those in leadership and will come down into the houses of those that have little for they have turned their backs to me. They have hardened their hearts and have become as hard as stone. For those stones shall be crushed under the weight of my judgment. I would say this is not the hour to play the game of church. This is the hour for the true church to rise up and be the mouthpiece to call sin, sin and evil, evil. This is the hour to rise and shine and be what I have called you to be. But woe unto those that have heard the call and have not heeded it, for surely as the handwriting was on the wall, your days are numbered saith the Lord. Turn, turn back to me with a repentant heart and I will spare you. Be the watchman that soundeth the alarm when they see evil coming. Be the ones that will pay the price no matter what the cost shall be saith the Lord. For the time is at hand that these things shall take place. There are no more warnings. For I have declared it saith the Lord.

Apostle Pat Murray

PROPHETIC EXHORTATION

We know from reading the accounts in the Bible; David really didn't look as if he had much going for him. Think about it...He was an underdog, a nobody from nowhere, a Hebrew hillbilly, he was rejected by his father, and he was put down and made fun of by his brothers. Even still, in spite of where David had been or what he’d endured; None of it kept him from going on to become one of the most famous kings and military strategist of all times. Yes, his life’s occupation quickly went from a shepherd boy to a king; And his address was changed from the pasture to the palace. True, David was known to be a murderer and an adulterer...But he did not allow his past to dictate his future. In fact, in the end David was remembered as a man after God's own heart. So look up from where life may have left you; And know that if David overcame all of his obstacles in life...Then you can too. The thing that made David go on to become such a great man of God was because he remained patient in difficult times, he had a teachable spirit...And he always had a repentant heart before God.
