Title: Receive strength for the mountains.
“As yet I am as strong this day as on the day that Moses sent me; just as my strength was then, so now is my strength for war, both for going out and for coming in. Now therefore, give me this mountain of which the LORD spoke in that day; for you heard in that day how the Anakim were there, and that the cities were great and fortified. It may be that the LORD will be with me, and I shall be able to drive them out as the LORD said.”Joshua 14:11-12 NKJV
Caleb the son of Jephunneh at 85 years of age was as strong in faith and vision as he was at the age of 40. He said God had kept him alive, strong and sharp. He did not ask for the valleys and plains, no - he demanded the mountain. He was now ready to possess the mountains. Both mentally and physically, he was ready for the mountain.
Point of reflection:
You need renewal of strength for the mountain climb. In the mountain is your blessing. You also critically need mountain climbing skills. You need to up-skill. His word says in Isaiah 40:31 NKJV: "But those who wait on the LORD Shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint.” You also need to ask for the mountain, ask for great accomplishments for your God, opportunities to bear much fruit for the kingdom of God. Jesus Christ said in John 15: 7-8 NKJV : "If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you. By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; so you will be My disciples.” Remember your land of milk and honey, your blessing, your joy, peace, satisfaction and all that follows is found in your fruitfulness for the kingdom of God. Fruitfulness will come as you challenge yourself to doing things differently, challenging yourself to move into new areas. You will need to sharpen your skills or even new skills in the process.
Do you desire strength to bear much fruit? When you are ready-
Prayer for renewal:
Heavenly Father in the name of Jesus Christ, I thank you for your grace and mercy. Thank you for giving me Jesus Christ through whom I have redemption, forgiveness of sin and access into your presence. I acknowledge the risen Jesus Christ as Lord of my life today and I ask you Father in the name of Jesus Christ for strength to bear much fruit for you. Open my eyes to see areas I need to renew, sharpen and strengthen my skills for the harvest. In Jesus Christ's name I pray. Amen.
