Topic: The Jericho Wall. # Text : Corinthians 15:33 (Be not deceived,evil communications corrupt good manners). * Sometimes the wall hindering your progress could be someone you have relationship with. Even the people you love may be a hindrance to your progress.In Genesis 12:1-5 Abraham took lot with him when God called him to leave his family behind and go to a place that He would show him. However, it wasn't until lot separated from him in Genesis 13:14--17 that God spoke and showed him the land He had promised. The spiritual authority a person submits to can also hinder the person's progress ( 1 kings 13:1--24), This is why you must carefully choose your spiritual father or mentor with the Holy Spirit guidance. John 15:20 says that the servant cannot be greater than the master. So whoever you choose to be your master will determine how far you can go. Prayerfully choose someone who is constantly growing so that there wont be a limit to your progress.Another kind of person that can be a wall of Jericho that is hindering your progress is your friend. To a great extent those you call your friends will determine how far you will go in life. Ammon would have lived a long and good life as a son of David, but he ended up badly because he had the wrong friend in 2 Samuel 13:3. There are people who pose as friends but are actually like the Wall of Jericho.If you have such friends,stay away from them this year 2025 because they are enemies of progress. If you have a friend who you only gossip with, but you never pray or discuss the Bible, that friend will become a hindrance to your progress, if you have friends whose pieces of advice are always contrary to what the Bible says and are always encouraging you to reduce your dedication to God, such friends are a wall of Jericho between you and God's perfect plan for your life, beloved please run away from such friends this year. Prayer say LORD help me to stay away from friends that will hinder my progress in life this year in Jesus name.
