No More Reproach – Today God Is First

No Extra Reproach

…”These days I’ve rolled away the reproach of Egypt from you”…. – Joshua 5:9

Joshua and the folk had simply crossed the Jordan River. They had been camped at Gilgal. However sooner than they may continue they had been required to circumcise the entire men, as a result of an entire new era had grown up whilst residing within the wasteland. That is the place Israel, like a bug in a cocoon, was once reworked. Circumcision is bloody, private, and it exposes all that you’re. God was once pronouncing that sooner than you’ll be able to change into His military, you should roll away the reproach of the Egyptian way of living. You’re now not a slave to the techniques of Egypt. This can be a time to place apart the previous way of living. Many are strolling round as goats in sheep’s garments, training a type of faith with out the real supply of reality and gear.

Sin in our midst testifies towards us. It assists in keeping us in Egypt and not lets in us to go into the Promised Land. Our lives should be circumcised to ensure that us to come back out of Egypt into our personal Promised Land of non secular blessing with God. This variation marks the primary time Israel starts to style the fruit of the Promised Land. Not more manna from Heaven. The manna stopped the day once they had been circumcised. There was once now not any manna for the Israelites, however that yr they ate produce from Canaan.

God is popping our plowshares into guns of affection to bring in a brand new era of office warriors. However we will be able to no longer be efficient if now we have the reproach of sin in our lives. Ask God to turn you what must be confessed nowadays in order that no reproach exists. The move of Jesus takes away all reproaches. Input the Promised Land with energy.
