| CONCLUSION | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
1. The children of God reaching the Promised
Land after fighting many battles, is like a foreshadow of the Christians today, who have to fight a Fight
of Faith, to make it to Heaven. 2. As the Bible says, in the multitude of counsel, there is safety. In the context of this Book, we should understand the importance of having a Spiritual Covering, and having the Counsel of Godly Men in our Lives 3. The key to success and prosperity, is obeying the Laws of God, and not indulging in Carnal Sins and Idolatry. 4. It should be noted that God raised Moses to deliver God's children from the captivity of Egypt, and to take them to the Promised Land, in order to serve God. Therefore, serving God, is the most important thing to do in our life. 5. Therefore, the Determination and the Commitment of Joshua mentioned in Joshua 24:15 "Choose for yourself this day whom you will serve......, but as for me and my house we will serve the Lord" THE END
