Pastor Adeboye began by acknowledging the depth and complexity of Joshua 10, suggesting that a verse-by-verse examination could easily extend over a month.
“We have been on this series for 47 weeks, and we still have one or two more discussions before we move on to another series,” he noted, emphasizing the richness of the biblical narratives they were exploring.
He recounted the events in Joshua 10, where surrounding kings, upon hearing that their neighbors had formed an alliance with Israel, decided to preemptively strike.
“All the remaining kings ganged together to attack those who had made a league with Joshua,” Pastor Adeboye explained. In response, the besieged allies sought Joshua’s help, prompting divine intervention.
Pastor Adeboye highlighted God’s reassurance to Joshua: “Don’t worry yourself; I will take care of the situation. I will fight for you.” This divine promise set the stage for a remarkable demonstration of God’s power.
