God Qualifies the Called

Be strong and of good courage: for unto this people shalt thou divide for an inheritance the land, which I sware unto their fathers to give them. Joshua 1:6 (KJV)

Bible Reading: Joshua 1

Today’s word is an encouragement to someone God is calling for a specific purpose in His kingdom but you are reluctant and refusing to yield to God’s call because you feel you are unqualified for the task. The truth is this: You are right! You are really unqualified and no one is qualified for God’s assignment but God qualifies whoever He calls. God’s work cannot be carried out by human strength, that’s why God empowers us by the Holy Spirit (Acts 1:8).

In our Bible reading today, God transferred the baton of leadership to Joshua after the death of Moses. Joshua was terrified because he knew what Moses passed through when he led the children of Israel. For example, he was there when the people grumbled, murmured, and blamed Moses for everything. He was present when Moses went to Mount Sinai for forty days and upon his arrival met the children of Israel worshiping graven image among others. Joshua saw the task ahead and his inability to handle it. However, God’s word comforted him the same way God is speaking to you this morning, “be strong and be courageous; wait upon the Lord for a renewal of strength; trust Him and allow His Spirit to help you carry out His assigned task to you”.

There are some assignments that need training and you have to learn by giving yourself to learning so that you can be effective. At KSi, we encourage you to answer God’s call upon your life. Rely on Him to fulfil your divine assignment in your office, at home, at church, at school, among your colleagues and in every area of endeavour. God bless you.

Action Point: Pray to God to help you fulfil His assignment.

Daily Confession: Lord I thank You for You qualify whoever you call and You have called me, I have answer, please help me and lead the way and I choose to follow in Jesus name.

Intercessory prayer: We pray for clarity, boldness and faith to as many who have been called by God for specific assignments.

Hymn: Lead us heavenly Father lead us

​For we have no help but Thee.
