FIRE GLOBAL OUTREACH MINISTRY

Memory verse:-

"Now when all the kings west of the Jordan heard about these things—the kings in the hill country, in the western foothills, and along the entire coast of the Mediterranean Sea as far as Lebanon (the kings of the Hittites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites)— they came together to wage war against Joshua and Israel. However, when the people of Gibeon heard what Joshua had done to Jericho and Ai, they resorted to a ruse: They went as a delegation whose donkeys were loaded with worn-out sacks and old wineskins, cracked and mended. They put worn and patched sandals on their feet and wore old clothes. All the bread of their food supply was dry and moldy. Then they went to Joshua in the camp at Gilgal and said to him and the Israelites, "We have come from a distant country; make a treaty with us.”

The Israelites said to the Hivites, "But perhaps you live near us, so how can we make a treaty with you?” "We are your servants,” they said to Joshua. But Joshua asked, "Who are you and where do you come from?” They answered: "Your servants have come from a very distant country because of the fame of the Lord your God. For we have heard reports of him: all that he did in Egypt, and all that he did to the two kings of the Amorites east of the Jordan—Sihon king of Heshbon, and Og king of Bashan, who reigned in Ashtaroth.”

-Joshua 9:1-10

We ought to be very vigilant because there are people who are keen to use every or any means possible to subdue us or change our direction of victory over them. The devil like the Gibeonites is not wise but very crafty he knows more than us humans it only takes the wisdom and knowledge of the Lord for us to know all his ways.

Prayer:-pray for vigilance and the spirit of discerning

What to meditate on:

What is the difference between wisdom and craftiness?
