1
00:00:01,199 --> 00:00:03,839
Speaker 1: Most of us eat every day, some of us too

2
00:00:03,919 --> 00:00:07,759
much because yesterday's food is not enough to supply energy

3
00:00:07,799 --> 00:00:11,560
for today's needs. Why then, do some of us expect

4
00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:15,039
yesterday's portion of heavenly manna, the word of God to

5
00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:19,000
keep us through today's challenges. On this program, we are

6
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:22,879
going to change all of that. Let's experience God's words

7
00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:25,920
today and receive the power we need to live healthy,

8
00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:30,839
vibrant lives. Welcome to your Daily Portion with your host,

9
00:00:31,039 --> 00:00:33,079
author speaker, Elle David Harris.

10
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:35,960
Speaker 2: Good morning, good morning, good morning. It is Sabbath. It's

11
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:40,200
the twenty seventh day of September in twenty twenty five. Hello,

12
00:00:40,399 --> 00:00:42,799
my name is El David Harris. I am your host,

13
00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:45,600
and this is your Daily Portion where we give you

14
00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,960
God's word every single day, and today is no exception.

15
00:00:49,399 --> 00:00:54,479
We are continuing. Actually we're beginning our new lesson study series,

16
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:59,320
Lessons of Faith from Joshua, and our caption for today

17
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:07,159
is Recipe for Success. Recipe for Success. I am so

18
00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:10,480
happy that you're here, and welcome to everyone joining us,

19
00:01:10,599 --> 00:01:13,239
especially those joining us for the very first time. I'm

20
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:16,120
asking you to go over to your Daily Portion dot com.

21
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:20,560
Please join our online community. Also, let us know where

22
00:01:20,599 --> 00:01:24,719
you are in the world at your Daily Portion dot com.

23
00:01:24,799 --> 00:01:27,239
This is one of the ways that we continue to

24
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:30,879
build faith and fellowship. Let's go ahead and pray and

25
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:34,159
then we will get underway. Father, thank you for this

26
00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:37,640
new Sabbath morning and for the opportunity for us to

27
00:01:37,799 --> 00:01:42,280
move into deeper into the story of how you led

28
00:01:42,439 --> 00:01:46,719
your people in the past and how we can get encouragement.

29
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:49,280
We can get encouragement for how you will lead us

30
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:53,799
in the future. Help us not to forget. In Jesus name,

31
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:58,920
I pray, Amen and Amn again. One thing that I

32
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:03,239
really appreciate about this series of thirteen weeks of lessons

33
00:02:03,239 --> 00:02:06,079
for those who are new to the study. We go

34
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:09,719
thirteen weeks at a time and we study all kinds

35
00:02:09,719 --> 00:02:13,960
of principles from the scriptures. But for the first time

36
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:17,520
that I can recall in recent past, and my mind

37
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:21,800
baby failing me on that we are continuing a story.

38
00:02:22,319 --> 00:02:26,439
So the people of God were being delivered as God

39
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:29,960
heard their voice, they heard their moanings. He knew that

40
00:02:30,039 --> 00:02:33,479
they needed to be delivered from captivity in so many

41
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:37,280
different ways, and we saw that journey under the leadership

42
00:02:37,439 --> 00:02:42,520
of Moses. Okay, and now we continue the discussion and

43
00:02:42,759 --> 00:02:48,039
journey under the leadership of Joshua, who came or picked

44
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:52,719
up the mantle from Moses. And so we begin with

45
00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:56,759
the recipe for success. Let me ask you a question,

46
00:02:57,439 --> 00:03:01,360
what is your recipe for success? I talk about success

47
00:03:01,479 --> 00:03:05,280
a lot in my business, a lot about it. What

48
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:08,039
do you consider to be success? It could be in

49
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:12,120
your spiritual lives, It could be in your relationships or

50
00:03:12,159 --> 00:03:16,240
in your personal development. What do you see as success

51
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:21,360
in your professional lives? And so the Bible actually gives

52
00:03:21,439 --> 00:03:26,280
us a model of success, a model for success in

53
00:03:26,319 --> 00:03:30,000
the context of our study, right from the Bible Book

54
00:03:30,159 --> 00:03:35,439
of Joshua, chapter one and verse seven. Now, I want

55
00:03:35,479 --> 00:03:38,639
you to listen to this keenly, not in a way

56
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:41,080
that you just get excited, or not in a way

57
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:43,240
that you're like, Okay, yeah, I've heard this before. But

58
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:47,800
I want you to forensically break this one down strategically.

59
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:51,199
If you were to build a model for success based

60
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:54,439
on this text, how would you diagram this? How would

61
00:03:54,479 --> 00:03:57,319
you map it out? And the Bible reads, only be

62
00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:03,919
strong and very courageous. This is the first word that

63
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:09,599
God is giving to his servant. Only be very courageous.

64
00:04:09,639 --> 00:04:15,560
That you may observe to do all. So be courageous, strong,

65
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:21,399
observe to do all according to the law which Moses,

66
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:24,759
my servant, commanded you. So we're starting to see the

67
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:29,480
blueprint here. Do not turn from it to the right,

68
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:34,160
Do not turn from it to the left, that you

69
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:38,199
may prosper wherever you go. And so in just a

70
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:41,879
few words, we see a blueprint for success, or the

71
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:46,399
blueprint for success, and we see the outcome in just

72
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:50,879
a few words, let's break down this recipe that God

73
00:04:50,959 --> 00:04:55,000
has given for success. First of all, the term to

74
00:04:55,120 --> 00:05:01,240
be strong. To be strong means to be firm and steadfast, resolute.

75
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:04,680
Do not allow anybody to get you off your square.

76
00:05:04,759 --> 00:05:07,079
I want you to look down and see yourself as

77
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:10,920
standing on a two foot by two foot square. And

78
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:14,399
there is where your calling is. There is where God

79
00:05:14,519 --> 00:05:18,519
has determined that you or from the vantage point that

80
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:22,519
God has said or prescribed that you would work. This

81
00:05:22,639 --> 00:05:24,879
is the way that you impact people. This is the

82
00:05:24,879 --> 00:05:27,879
way that you impact processes. This is the way that

83
00:05:27,959 --> 00:05:31,480
you impact protocol or the law. This is the way

84
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:34,879
that you deal with problems. God has called you to

85
00:05:34,959 --> 00:05:37,920
be a certain way in this world. But be strong,

86
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:41,759
stay in your square, It's not that God is boxing

87
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:44,800
you in. It is, in fact, though, that if you

88
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:48,279
were a tool in a toolkit, then God created you

89
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:51,480
to be that tool in order to serve the function

90
00:05:51,759 --> 00:05:54,800
of that tool. If you are a screwdriver, you're a

91
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:58,160
Philip said, screwdriver, then you are not a hammer. If

92
00:05:58,199 --> 00:05:59,920
you are a hammer, then you are not a jef.

93
00:06:00,519 --> 00:06:03,279
You understand where I'm going with this. If you are

94
00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:06,480
a jackhammer, you are not a tape measure. God has

95
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:09,319
called you a certain way, and he wants you to

96
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:14,519
be firm and steadfast to his calling. Okay, and then

97
00:06:14,639 --> 00:06:20,040
be very courageous. See God said, according to the definition

98
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:24,360
of the term, to be bold, to be determined. This

99
00:06:24,399 --> 00:06:27,240
is what he's telling his servant, after he has seen

100
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:32,439
a whole generation of people fall by the wayside. Be determined.

101
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:36,519
Do not be daunted, Joshua, do not be daunted. I

102
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:39,560
know that what you have in your past, or what

103
00:06:39,639 --> 00:06:43,319
you've seen God's people go through, could get you down

104
00:06:43,399 --> 00:06:45,199
if you allow it. I'm saying, don't let it get

105
00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:50,279
you down. Be resolute, be bold, be determined, do not

106
00:06:50,439 --> 00:06:53,639
be daunted. And then the word law. God said, to

107
00:06:53,759 --> 00:06:58,000
observe and to be careful to do sam shamar. That

108
00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:03,480
means to guard and keep and watchfully obey, don't miss

109
00:07:03,519 --> 00:07:07,439
a spot. Joshua, I'm gonna give you the blueprint, Joshua.

110
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:10,079
Do not say, oh, it's not a big deal if

111
00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:12,800
I have revealed it to you, Joshua. Let me just

112
00:07:12,839 --> 00:07:15,560
say something to the people of God in twenty twenty five.

113
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:19,959
There are times that God has given us resources and

114
00:07:20,079 --> 00:07:23,759
writings and inspiration. Some of you know where I'm going

115
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:26,160
with this. And when God gives you, let's just say,

116
00:07:26,199 --> 00:07:30,360
he sends a prophet to you. He sends a prophet

117
00:07:30,399 --> 00:07:33,639
to you. Maybe you're King David hah, and the prophet

118
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:36,199
that he sends to you is Nathan. If you were

119
00:07:36,279 --> 00:07:40,360
to say that God, I don't need Nathan because the

120
00:07:40,439 --> 00:07:44,800
Bible already says don't commit adulterree. Oh wait a minute, David,

121
00:07:44,839 --> 00:07:47,920
but you did commit adult tree and so you in

122
00:07:47,959 --> 00:07:52,360
your unrepentant state, David, King, David, I'm sending Nathan to

123
00:07:52,759 --> 00:07:56,959
arrest your mind and your progress for the moment so

124
00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:00,000
that I can get you back where on your school,

125
00:08:00,319 --> 00:08:03,360
so you can be strong and resolute. You see. And

126
00:08:03,399 --> 00:08:05,800
so when God gives you writings, he gives you the

127
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:09,240
truth in a way that you needed in these last days.

128
00:08:09,279 --> 00:08:13,480
Do not say I don't need that, because God knows

129
00:08:13,519 --> 00:08:16,560
your due, That's why he gave this. Let me continue,

130
00:08:16,839 --> 00:08:21,879
be watchful and obey fastidiously what the law to rah

131
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:29,000
that instruction that teaching God's revealed will go back to basics, Joshua,

132
00:08:29,639 --> 00:08:32,639
go back in twenty twenty five, God's people. Don't be

133
00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:37,919
so creative that you have forgotten the fundamentals of God's

134
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:41,840
truth and you've turned it into something all complicated and

135
00:08:42,399 --> 00:08:46,200
flowery and flamboyant. It's like, God, you have already given

136
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:49,799
us some truth, the truth in the word. Help us

137
00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:54,399
to watchfully obey that word, those instructions that teaching god

138
00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:58,919
Your revealed will and then don't turn turn not. That

139
00:08:59,039 --> 00:09:02,000
word actually means to turn aside or to veer off.

140
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:05,720
Neither to the left, neither to the right. Do not deviate,

141
00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:11,799
and then the outcome will come. You will be successful, Sakaw.

142
00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:18,120
That word in Hebrew means to act wisely and have insight, prosper,

143
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:23,039
have insight that leads to success. So when he says

144
00:09:23,159 --> 00:09:28,159
you will prosper, Joshua, when you will prosper God's people

145
00:09:28,279 --> 00:09:34,679
in the last days. You will be successful wherever you go,

146
00:09:35,279 --> 00:09:38,440
and I'm grateful that God has given us the recipe

147
00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:44,320
for success through the lens of Joshua. Are you listening, peace.

148
00:09:45,039 --> 00:09:48,519
Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us listening. Friends. Always remember we cannot

149
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:51,600
live by bread alone, but by every word that comes

150
00:09:51,639 --> 00:09:54,720
from the mouth of God. This has been your daily

151
00:09:54,759 --> 00:10:00,279
portion with El David Harris. Make it a great day. Yeah,
