As we read Joshua Chapter 5 we can learn some valuable lessons for victory in the Christian life in all the battles that we face.
God prepared His people with some unusual strategies before they went to war.
Israel is now in enemy territory within easy reach of the enemy and God gives instructions to Joshua for circumcision which will cause all the men of the nation to be temporarily incapacitated.
Secondly I want you to notice that the nation of Israel took time out to celebrate the Passover.
Through circumcision, the nation of Israel was a marked out nation from all the other nations around about them.
Circumcision reminded them that God had made Promises to them and he had given them a land. Circumcision showed that they belonged to God.
The Israelites were a people of Promise, seen in their circumcision and the Israelites were a people of the Passover.
They had to remember what God had done for them in their past history.
There are battles to fight in our land.
Our land is being invaded by immorality and philosophies and false religions and evil on a large scale.
Are you aware of the battles? Are you aware of the deceptions?
Israel not only had to remember the Passover but they had to eat of the Passover Lamb.
Every Christian not only needs to remember their deliverance in Christ but we need to remember that we must feed on Christ.
We must remember to be nourished by Christ as we are built up by Him, in His Word.
Are you growing in Christ are you feeding on the Lamb of God and His Word, or are you slowly dying of spiritual starvation as you consume the junk that the world offers?
