laying the foundation for success pic ok


-instead of preparing for fight, God ask the Israelites to circumcise the men... 
-God plans towards us never easy but always for your good!
we are always eager to start things at the beginning to clear when we have yet to accomplish in the previous year


1. God wants us to be established in His identity
-our failures do not define us... We are God's people!

Joshua 5 4
Circumcision is a convenent with God for Isreal

Joshua 5 9

Ipc
If our mindset is still as a slave, we will think tt we will think tt it will be better as a slave than in the promise land when there's challenges

Luke 23 9
Jesus remained calm and collected when He is accused and utter not a single word!
   Jesus' identity is rooted in God's love

Luke 23 Isiah
Jesus knew that it is God's plan to bring good
If ppl are laughing at our sufferings, we will have the last laugh
   It will be used by God for His glory

Romans 8


2. God want is to be in partnership with us
Don't work just for ourselves, but with God
Sowing and reaping + God

Joshua 5

Pic
Don't be lazy, work alongside with God, sow the little that we have
   If we have nothing left, we have 1 thing --- faith!
      Continue to pray, believe and work
God wants us to work and leave the outcome to Him
   With God, the little can become much
We must do our part!

Don't compare our resources with others.. 
This will put us into the trap of comparison
Though 

Jeremiah

Proverbs 13

Probee s13

Lazy ppl only wishes, and build castle in the air... But God wants us to put our hands to the ground and build our houses

Keep working, there's a timing for everything


3.

Joshua 5
God does not show favourism, pick sides... But God is for us

Pic
Are we on God's side
   Joshua himself have to first be conquered by God... Complete obedience
   Everything about us, we must be willing to let go and let God

Matt 4

Joshua 6
The victory is given to us, not by our own strength
   Submission, faith and trust in God

Romans 8
We must come to a place of relationship
Victory in the eyes of God maybe different from ours


Summ
It requires us to change
