*TOPIC: THE VICTORY OF JESUS*
“Now these are the kings of the land, which the children of Israel smote, and possessed their land on the other side Jordan toward the rising of the sun, from the river Arnon unto mount Hermon, and all the plain on the east:” Joshua 12:1
*MESSAGE*
Joshua 12 recounts a list of kings that Israel has defeated. The list goes into great detail by not only giving the names of the defeated kings, but also going to great length to describe the land over which the defeated kings previously ruled. The vast size of this territory is a testament to God’s ability to conquer great kings and great lands.
These victories are minor in comparison to the far greater victory won by Jesus himself. He did not simply win a battle against a pagan king, but he defeated Satan, sin and the principalities of darkness. He did not merely conquer a portion of land, but he secured his rule and reign over all the earth (Ephesians 1:21–22).
By virtue of Jesus’ work, he is worthy of all honour, fame and glory forever. All things, both in heaven and on earth, both temporal and cosmic, both now and forever, are placed under his kingly rule. This list of victories may be “great,” but it pales in comparison to the ultimate victory of Jesus.
*ACTION POINT*
?️ What victories has King Jesus won for you? Remind yourself of them today and thank Him.
*SCRIPTURES*
Joshua 12:1–6; Ephesians 1:21–22; Matthew 4:8-10
*PRAYER POINTS*
1. Jesus, thank You because there is no king, no kingdom, no power that you cannot overcome.
2. By Your limitless power, silence every voice of condemnation in my life in Jesus’ name;
3. I declare that the victory of Jesus will not cease in my life in Jesus’ name.
