THE RIGHT APPROACH TO MINISTRY IS COURAGE

Looking at Joshua 1:1-9, we are being encouraged to be very courageous in other to fulfill our ministry, not just being courageous but be very courageous so as to be able to fulfil those ideas God has loaded in our lives to solve the problems in the world.

"Only be strong and very courageous, that you may observe to do according to all the law which Moses my servant commanded you” (v. 7 NKJV)

Joshua was going to lead the Israelites into enemy occupied Promise Land. God restated His faithfulness to Israel and to Joshua, and commissioned him with these words: "Be strong and very courageous, for to this people you shall divide as an inheritance the land which / swore to their fathers to give them" (v.6). However, strength and courage would depend on Joshua's attitude to 'this book of the law.

"Be strong and of good courage," that is God's combat instruction to you, which is necessary for victory. The nature of your assignment and its hazards should compel you to draw strength from the Lord. You must be determined to face the task, do not chicken away in fear. Be strong and very courageous in the midst of attacks, criticism or disapprovals. Do not be intimidated, for intimidation is a weapon of the enemy. Jesus had strong oppositions but He was never intimidated. Timidly cannot be associated with kingdom service. "For God has not given us a spirit of in timidity, but of power and of Jove of a sound mind" (2 Tim. 1:7).The good news is that God has promised to be with you (Matt. 28:20). Truly the presence of God strengthens the heart and inspires courage. In this new day, be strong and very courageous because God is with you.

Therefore, it is expected for you and I to fulfill the mandate of God in our world today, we must be very courageous to carry out this divine assignments.
