God Will Keep You

Joshua 14:8-9

To be faithful unto God is to follow the will of God for your life with everything that resides in your heart.
In believing God we do so by the heart and not anything else.

Our sensual perceptions can't believe God for our life because the sensual perception is underpinned by the rationale.

One of the fundamental characters of God is of such that God is of such that God is faithful.

For God to be faithful is defined on a level of understanding which stipulates to mean that once God gives you his word it’s from the depth of his heart and this God will follow-up on his word for your life to fulfill it.

Once God gives you his word, God immediately embarks on following up the word he gave you and placed over your life whole hearted.

And God expects the recipient of his word of faith to follow his word whole hearted and see the word being brought to pass and to fulfillment by the working and faithful hand of God.
Part of being faithful unto God by the recipient of the word of God is to testify of God's faithfulness.

Its utterly impossible to testify of God's faithfulness if you did not receive and believe (follow-up) the word of God whole hearted.

Caleb argues in the book of Joshua 14:8-9,’ But my brothers who went with me frightened the people from entering the promised land.

For my part, I whole hearted followed the Lord my God.
So that day Moses solemnly promised me, “The land of Canaan on which you were just walking will be your grant of land and that of your descendants forever, because you whole hearted followed the Lord my God.”

"Indeed and in fact following the Lord will cause God to grant you his promises.

And it’s impossible to recall that God is no man that he should lie.

Everything he promises unto you he will bring to pass in your life.

Time will never stop ticking in your favor as long as you have a promise from God by virtue of the fact you follow God whole hearted.

In the book of Joshua, Caleb further insists in 14:10,"God has kept me alive and well as he promised for all these forty years since Moses this promise even while Isreal wandered in the wilderness.

Today am eighty five years old and I am as strong now as I was when Moses sent me on a journey and I can still travel and fight as well as I could then”.

Thus by examining Caleb's narrative we understand that once God promises you his goodness out of your whole hearted fellowship with him then he will keep you and never let you become weak, feeble and wearily.

But God will keep you mighty and strong so that you live to possess and enjoy his promises over your life.
