Courageous Faith: Consecration Before Conquest

Every one of us wants victory or success in life. The desire to win seems to be a part of our DNA or our makeup. You can see this trait in millions of Americans who fanatically follow their favorite sports team. We want our team to win. The fact is our Creator God wants us to win! Jesus said in John 10:10, “I came that you may have life and have it more abundantly.” An appropriate paraphrase would be “I came so you could win.” In the book of Joshua, God desired for the children of Israel to win by conquering and taking the land of promise. However, before conquest He wanted them to be completely consecrated to Him. Likewise, God desires for us today to consecrate ourselves to Him and conquer our problems and experience true success in life. This morning’s message is entitled, Consecration Before Conquest.
