WE ARE ABLE


READ: JOSHUA 14:6-14
Those who are in the right standing with god have their language too. You will know them when you come in contact with them. They are positive, full of hope and bubbling with life. “Then Caleb quieted the people before Moses, and said, ‘let us go up at once and take possession, for we are well able to overcome it.’” (Numbers 13:30).  
The 10 spies said they could not possess the Promised Land because of the giants. Caleb and Joshua said that they were more than able. In fact Caleb said that the giants were bread for them as long as God was with Israel (Numbers 14:9).
For the one who is steadfastly with God, the presence of giants in their promised possession is not to hinder them from entering, but to be bread for Jehovah Nissi to feed on. The strength of the steadfast can be explained. They have God with them and that is what makes them tick. “I can do all things through Christ who strengths me.” (Philippians 4:130).   
The man who knows God will see problems as stepping stones into testimonies. He will be full of confidence because through the power and grace that he receives from Christ, he is able to accomplish any task. According to Daniel 11:32, strength and exploits follow those who know their God intimately. No wonder three young Hebrews could stand before a great king like Nebuchadnezzer, look him in the face and tell him they would not bow to his idol.
Zechariah 4:6-7 says your mountain will become a plain. In the mighty Name of Jesus I prophesy to you that great mountain presently giving you sleepless nights will have been levelled this time next month. When the Lord brings it to pass, testify about it to God’s glory! Join the growing number of those whom the world has nothing to offer. Be an overcomer and increase in faith through regular study of God’s Word. Believe God for the impossible. All things are possible to those who believe. You will surely see a manifestation of what you believe. You are more than able through Christ.
MEMORIZE: PHILIPPIANS 4:13 –I can do all things through Christ who strengths me.
