BE STRONG AND COURAGEOUS
By Pastor Ayo-Simeon Agbelusi
The Lord has commanded you to make progress and continue to win on every side. He’s leading the journey and that’s why you can never be hindered from your attaining your glory land. Say to yourself, I am unstoppable. I am moving forward.
“Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.” — Joshua 1:9 (KJV)
Joshua stood at the edge of transition. Moses was gone. The responsibility was great. The future was unfamiliar. Yet God did not begin with strategy—He began with a command: Be strong and courageous.
Strength in Scripture is not self-confidence; it is God-confidence. Courage is not the absence of fear; it is obedience in spite of it. The Lord anchored Joshua’s assignment in one unshakable promise: I am with thee whithersoever thou goest.
Every new season requires courage. New responsibilities, new challenges, new territories will test your resolve. But the same God who calls you forward goes before you. His presence is your assurance. His promise is your stability.
Today, reject intimidation. Refuse discouragement. Step forward in obedience. The God who commissions you also accompanies you.
Prayer: Father, I receive Your command to be strong and courageous. Strengthen my heart for every assignment You have given me. Remove fear and replace it with bold faith. Let me walk confidently, knowing You are with me wherever I go in Jesus’ name, Amen.
