EX CHAMP (Open

Memorise:
Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, behold,
Please
Read: Joshua 7:1-5, 7 But the children of Israel committed a trespass
in the accursed thing: for Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son
of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, took of the accursed thing: and the anger of
the Lord was kindled against the children of Israel.
2 And Joshua sent men from Jericho to
Ai, which is beside Bethaven, on the east of Bethel, and spake unto them,
saying, Go up and view the country. And the men went up and viewed Ai.
3 And they returned to Joshua, and
said unto him, Let not all the people go up; but let about two or three
thousand men go up and smite Ai; and make not all the people to labour thither;
for they are but few.
4 So there went up thither of the
people about three thousand men: and they fled before the men of Ai.
5 And the men of Ai smote of them
about thirty and six men: for they chased them from before the gate even unto
Shebarim, and smote them in the going down: wherefore the hearts of the people
melted, and became as water.

When you
are not a champion, only a few people pay attention to you.
But by the
time you become a champion, you will be on the radar of many people, including
your enemies. A champion has more enemies to contend with than an ordinary
contender.
The
Almighty had warned the children of Israel not to take anything from Jericho as
booty, but Achan defied this instruction and stole part of the accursed
materials. Joshua did not know about this. This singular act brought a lot of
war causalities to the Israelites and turned the whole nation to ex-war
champions. Beloved of God, I want to encourage you to abstain from any form of
ungodliness because it is deadly (Romans 6:23). After a man’s sins are
forgiven, the next thing is for the fellow to stop living in sin and to perform
restitution (make good everything you’ve done wrong).
Prayer
Point
Holy
Spirit, please help to be vigilant in maintaining my victory in Christ and help
me not to fall into any temptation.
