DAY 17 - Joshua 1–12 | 12 WEEKS - 84 DAYS THROUGH THE BIBLE - A CHRONOLOGICAL KINGDOM JOURNEY

Welcome to our official 12-Week Bible Reading Program at Shekinah – Kingdom Ready Nation! Over the next 84 days, we’ll embark on a journey through the Bible in chronological order, uncovering God’s Kingdom plan as it unfolded throughout history.

DAY 17:

Scripture: Joshua 1–12

Title: Crossing the Jordan: Faith Possesses the Promise

OVERVIEW:

With Moses’s passing, Joshua assumes the leadership of Israel. The nation stands on the brink of entering the Promised Land after a forty-year wilderness journey.

God commands Joshua with a powerful directive: BE STRONG AND COURAGEOUS. The success of Israel’s mission will not hinge on military might but on unwavering obedience to God’s Word.

In a miraculous event, Israel crosses the Jordan River, paralleling the crossing of the Red Sea. Just as God delivered Israel from Egypt through water, He now guides them into the fulfillment of their promises through water.

Upon reaching the land, Israel commences the conquest of Canaan. The fall of Jericho serves as a testament to the fact that victory belongs to the Lord, not human strategy. However, when Israel experiences defeat at Ai, it becomes evident that covenant obedience is the key to success.

Through a series of campaigns, God grants Israel victory over multiple Canaanite kings, solidifying their presence in the land.

These chapters illustrate that God fulfills His promises, but His people must walk in faith and obedience to experience them.
