How to thrive in enemy territory (1)
23 OCTOBER 2026
‘I have rolled away the reproach of Egypt from you.’
Joshua 5:9 NKJV

When Israel entered the Promised Land, there were thirty-one kings who had to be conquered. That means they’d be living in enemy territory. God told Joshua to ‘circumcise the sons of Israel’ (Joshua 5:2 NKJV). When it was done, the Lord said, ‘This day I have rolled away the reproach of Egypt from you.’ The ‘reproach of Egypt’ was the humiliation of slavery they’d endured for 400 years; now it was time to reclaim their birthright as God’s chosen people. Circumcision, then, was a symbolic separation from the past and a declaration of a new identity: no longer a slave, but free.

What about your old temptations, lusts, and shortcomings? He detached you from their power! It cannot be stated too often or too clearly – you are not the person you used to be! When Christ died, you died. When Christ was buried, you were buried. When Christ rose from the dead, you rose with Him. ‘You put off…the old man’ and ‘put on the new’ (Ephesians 4:22, 24 NKJV).

Satan is called ‘the tempter’ and ‘the accuser’. When he comes against you in either role, tell him: ‘I have been bought with a price. I belong to God’ (see 1 Corinthians 6:20). ‘I have not been given a spirit of fear but of power, love, and a sound mind’ (see 2 Timothy 1:7). ‘I cannot be separated from the love of God’ (see Romans 8:35). ‘I can find grace and mercy in the time of need’ (see Hebrews 4:16). ‘I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me’ (Philippians 4:13 NKJV).

Facing life's battles? It's crucial to know where your true strength comes from. It's not from energy drinks or worldly concoctions. True power comes from God.

During a break, I still wouldn't see Him. The attacks intensified, my anxiety and fear returned worse than ever. Sleep became impossible; I was just up walking, questioning what to do and why I couldn't find peace. My mind and health were attacked, leaving me in a terrible spiritual place.

In all things, seek to please God!
22 OCTOBER 2026
‘Our purpose is to please God, not people. He alone examines the motives of our hearts.’
1 Thessalonians 2:4 NLT

A young man studied violin under a world-renowned violinist and master teacher. He worked hard for several years perfecting his talent. The day finally came when he was called upon to give his first major public recital in a large city where both he and his teacher lived. Following each selection, which he performed with great skill and passion, the performer seemed uneasy about how to handle all the applause he was receiving. Even though he knew that those in the audience were musically astute and not likely to give such applause to a less than superior performance, the young man acted almost as if he couldn’t hear the appreciation that was being showered upon him.

At the close of the last number he performed, the applause was thunderous, and numerous ‘bravos’ were shouted. The talented young violinist had his eyes glued, however, on only one spot. Finally, when an elderly man in the first row of the balcony smiled and nodded to him in approval, the young man relaxed and beamed with both relief and joy. His teacher had praised his work! The applause of thousands meant nothing to him until he had first won the approval of his master.

That was Paul’s aim too, and it should be yours. ‘For we speak as messengers approved by God to be entrusted with the Good News. Our purpose is to please God, not people. He alone examines the motives of our hearts’ (v. 4 NLT). So the word for today is this: in all things, seek to please God!

Jeremiah 37-39, 2 Timothy 4

When the wind and waters rage and billows roll, the blessed Rock of Ages speaks peace to my soul. He holds me safe and warm in His arms, right here in the eye of the storm. No matter how this ship of mine may rock, His light leads me safely through the night.

A branch cannot live on its own; its life comes solely from the vine. Jesus declared, "Without me you can do nothing." Submission to His pruning leads to growth, while separation brings consequences. True development only happens when His word resonates within us.

Believe God for ‘Good Things’
21 OCTOBER 2026
‘You have promised these good things to your servant.’
2 Samuel 7:28 NIV

We strive each day to ‘walk by faith, not by sight’ (2 Corinthians 5:7 NKJV). But it doesn’t come easily. It takes a mind saturated in scripture to make a faith choice when you’re staring down the barrel of a situation that seems impossible. So how do you develop that kind of faith? For a relationship to thrive, both parties must invest time and energy into getting to know one other. Lasting connections are based on trust, and an intimate knowledge of the other person’s habits and character. And it’s the same with God. Over time, as you prove His faithfulness it becomes easier to let go of your fear and replace it with trust.

One author writes: ‘Getting to know God means walking with Him, spending time in His Word, getting to know His spotless character and the countless examples of His unfailing love illustrated in His ironclad promises. It means praying, talking, sharing all the details of your life and the inner workings of your heart. He knows it all already, but He enjoys the intimacy of the conversation. And like any balanced relationship, we can’t always be the one talking. We have to make time to listen, to come before the Lord and get quiet, by silencing the noise of our thoughts and the rush of our emotions.’

Remember, the only place fear has to work is in the empty space where your faith should be. Fear is based on what you see and hear. Faith is based on knowing that God’s Word is reliable, and that He has promised ‘good things’ to those who believe Him for them!

Jeremiah 34-36, 2 Timothy 3

Pharaoh's defiance: "Who is the Lord that I should obey His voice... I know not the Lord." Egypt worshipped many gods—sun, moon, stars and the sea—yet Pharaoh ignored the true and living God who created everything.
