A life of victory does not occur accidentally. No, for the followers of Jesus, victory is promised but is not automatically procured. So much of a life of breakthrough, overcoming, and winning hinges upon how Christians respond to the opposition in life and the offers from God. The words of God to an up and coming leader in ancient Israel are so simple, but they are actually crucially strategic. When Joshua was commissioned by God to lead Israel, the Lord told front what he would need to continually do in order to win in the warfare. His five statements to this new leader help us today to both chase and embrace a life of victory and overcoming.
