God's Infallible Word! [ Joshua 6:26] Daily Bible Verses Devotional

Joshua 6:26 After the Lord God gave the city of Jericho into the hands of Joshua and the people of Israel, Joshua pronounced a curse on the city: “Cursed before the Lord be the man who rises up and rebuilds this city, Jericho. At the cost of his firstborn shall he lay its foundation, and at the cost of his youngest son shall he set up its gates”. Joshua the servant of God, after the conquest of Jericho, pronounced a cures on anyone who would rebuild Jericho. He didn't say that Jericho must not be rebuilt. But whoever would undertake the rebuilding of the city will have to lose his first born son and last born son. The reason for this consequence wasn't textually disclosed, but I think it is pointing to the fact God demanded that "the city (Jericho) and all that is in it are to be devoted to the Lord. Only Rahab the prostitute and all who are with her in her house shall be spared, because she hid the spies we sent" After about 500 years, this happened; In Ahab’s time, Hiel of Bethel rebuilt Jericho. He laid its foundations at the cost of his firstborn son Abiram, and he set up its gates at the cost of his youngest son Segub, in accordance with the word of the Lord spoken by Joshua son of Nun. 1 Kings 16:34 NIV. This would give us the clearer meaning of Isaiah 55:11 And it reads; "So is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it. Isaiah 55:11 NIV God's word once spoken becomes alive and active waiting to achieve the purpose for which it has been released. The Word of God spoken by Joshua centuries back lingered until it came to pass. Can you identify one or two things the Lord has said concerning you? You may forget it, but when it is time, it will manifest. God's Word can never prove false. It might take some time, but it will come to pass. O Lord my Father, your word is alive and active, fulfilling the purpose for which it is sent. Let the word you spoke concerning me be fulfilled in my life. In Jesus' name. Amen.
