Famous for God

By Praise Nnaji

“The Lord was with Joshua; and his fame was noised throughout all the country.” Joshua 6:27.

 In Joshua 1:5, God specifically told him that no man on earth would be able to stand against him all the days of his life, and that as He was with Moses so shall He be with him, He will neither leave nor forsake him. And we know according to Numbers 23:19, “God cannot lie.” 

Joshua became famous because God was with him. Would Joshua have been able to do all that he did without God? Think about it. Peter already disqualified himself after the great catch and his encounter with Jesus. 

But Jesus told Peter that He had a better job for him. From fisher-man to “fishers of men.” - Matthew 4:19. In Acts 9:32-43, - Peter healed the man that was sick of palsy for 8 years, he also raised Dorcas from death. 

And it was known throughout all Joppa; and many believed in the Lord. King Saul forgot Daniel 2:21 which says that, “God changes the times and seasons; He removes kings and sets up kings: He gives wisdom to the wise, and knowledge to those who have understanding.” 

King Saul went from fame to shame, because the fame got into his head, he disobeyed God, and God replaced him with David. -1 Samuel 16:1 Psalm 34:5, “those who look to Him are radiant; their faces are never covered with shame.” 

Our fame for God will not be turned into shame, in Jesus mighty name. 

You will have good success this 2021.  

Remain blessed.  Shalom.
