Joshua 8:1-2 (the capturing and destruction of Ai) 1The Lord said to Joshua, “Take all the soldiers with you and go on up to Ai. Don't be afraid or discouraged.

So then, beloved ones, the flesh has no claims on us at all, and we have no further obligation to live in obedience to it . For when you live controlled by the flesh, you are about to die. But if the life of the Spirit puts to death the corrupt ways of the flesh , we then taste his abundant life. (Romans 8:12-13 TPT) It's the spirit of God that puts to death the flesh man, unless the Holy Spirit h...

But Martha became exasperated with finishing the numerous household chores in preparation for her guests, so she interrupted Jesus and said, “Lord, don’t you think it’s unfair that my sister left me to do all the work by myself? You should tell her to get up and help me.” The Lord answered her, “Martha, my beloved Martha. Why are you upset and troubled, pulled away by all these many distractions?...

So consider carefully how Jesus faced such intense opposition from sinners who opposed their own souls, so that you won’t become worn down and cave in under life’s pressures.

Hebrews 12:2 GNTD In Canaan/is this new season we need to fix our eyes on Jesus more than what G...

Shipwreck is meant to remove the Egyptian teaching-things that were taught by our unpleasant  past  To always remind us that t...

Sovereign : Mninimandla onke ( possessing supreme or ultimate power) . So again we see that it is entirely up to God to show mercy or to harden the hearts of whomever he chooses.
