Topic: Have Officials To Help
Text: Josh 3:1-3 "After 3 days the officers went throughout the camp..."(2)
If you check very well, you'd see that Joshua was the sole leader or sole succeeding founder appointed by God to lead the Israelis into the promised land. If you study Joshua chapter 1:1-9 where the account of God's interaction n instructions to Joshua was recorded, you'll see that God never instructed him to get officials to help him. But wisdom let Joshua to have officers who went round the camp(2).
Recall Moses' encounters with God, God never told Moses to get helpers too, Exo 3-14. But when Jethro his father in-law saw how Moses gets wearied doing almost everything alone, he counselled him to get helpers, Exo 18:13-24. Dear leader, you need helpers n volunteers to assist you to realise your goals. Even if you're the founder or owner of the vision, you need true helpers. Ask the One Who called n gave you the assignment to bring your way helpers. 🌹
Early in the morning, Joshua n the Israelis moved out from Sh*tim to Jordan n camped there for 3 days, Josh 3:1-2. As a leader know when to give yourself n those you're leading rest. Don't overwork yourself n your followers. Rest is important.
"After 3 days the officers went throughout the camp, giving orders to the people"(2-3a). Joshua has the mandate, but it was his officials who went round the camp to instruct the people. Also note that they went throughout the camp(2b). No one was left out. Let you n your helpers be thorough in your tasks. Everyone should be carried along in your leadership. Assign officers/helpers that will ensure that everyone is carried along
PD: Be engraced to be an exemplary leader like Joshua, in Jesus name
