CONQUER OR BE CONQUERED
TEXT: Joshua 17:8-18
KEY VERSE:
“But the mountain shall be thine; for it is a wood, and thou shalt cut it down: and the outgoings of it shall be thine: for thou shalt drive out the Canaanites, though they have iron chariots, and though they be strong.” - (Joshua 17:18)
Columnist Herb Caen wrote in the San Francisco Chronicle: “Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up, it knows it must run faster than the fastest lion or it will be killed. Every morning, a lion wakes up, it knows it must outrun the slowest gazelle or it will starve to death. It doesn’t matter whether you are a lion or gazelle; when the sun comes up, you’d better be running”.
The children of Joseph needed to fight against the Canaanites and displace them because their lot in the Promised Land was small. They desired an additional lot to be allocated to them. But because the Canaanites that dwelt in the valley had chariots of iron and were strong, they could not fight, defeat and get more land. Therefore, they had to remain in a tight environment, bordered by an enemy nation with potential to unseat them in the future.
Life sometimes leaves us with few options. You either face life battles and win or you rest and be conquered. The children of Joseph were told they either fight and dominate the environment, or be conquered and dominated by their enemies. Under such situations, it becomes necessary to fortify oneself and take on the enemy.
We must understand the power of our God and stop highlighting the advantages of our adversaries. We must be fervent in prayers as we take on the enemies of our faith. Even when it appears we are comfortable, we must realise that the battle is not over yet. Each time we wake up to see a new day; we must not rest on our oars until we reach heaven’s finishing line.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Run the race of survival every day with faith.

BE WARY OF WICKED WAYS
TEXT: PROVERBS 12:5-8
MEMORY VERSE: "The wicked are overthrown, and are not: but the house of the righteous shall stand" (PROVERBS 12:7).
James Kasten worked as a sailor after College. His mother, Kate, was a Christian. She taught James the Word of God and exposed him to holiness of life. In the ship, his mates vowed to defile him through fornication, smoking and hard drugs.
James had a rough time working with them, but he remained steadfast in his faith. His mother interceded for him daily, and James later discovered that her prayers helped to sustain him in the faith. Like James, Christian youths should be wary of wicked ways.
The International Standard Bible Encyclopedia defines 'wicked' as: "A mental disregard for justice, righteousness, truth, honour, virtue; evil in thought and life; depravity, sinfulness and criminality." These are sinful attributes which a Christian youth must abhor.
Avoid wicked youths in your school, workplace and community. Association with the wicked will dampen your love and zeal for God, resulting in backsliding. To remain in the faith, feed on God's Word, pray without ceasing, fellowship with God's children and you will escape the reward of the wicked, and inherit the blessings of the righteous.
QUOTE: Fellowship with God's children.
CHALLENGE: Be wary of the wicked and their ways.
PRAYER: Lord, give me the grace to avoid wicked peers.
