Topic: The Elements Obeyed Him
Text: Joshua 10:7–24
7So Joshua ascended from Gilgal, he, and all the people of war with him, and all the mighty men of valour.
9Joshua therefore came unto them suddenly, and went up from Gilgal all night.
10And the LORD discomfited them before Israel, and slew them with a great slaughter at Gibeon, and chased them along the way that goeth up to Bethhoron, and smote them to Azekah, and unto Makkedah.
11And it came to pass, as they fled from before Israel, and were in the going down to Bethhoron, that the LORD cast down great stones from heaven upon them unto Azekah, and they died: they were more which died with hailstones than they whom the children of Israel slew with the sword.
Key Verse: “And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies” (Joshua 10:13).
Message
Doctor R.G Lee said, “Any man that has enough sense to make a clock certainly has enough sense to stop it.” So God who brought the universe into existence by spoken words can do anything He pleases with that universe and its numerous elements. Our text today reveals God’s control over His creatures as the sun standing still as an actual historical event. Laws of nature are simple processes which God has set in motion but because He is sovereign He can also alter, suspend, reverse or even cancel at any time. Joshua needed daylight to defeat his enemies in a battle and prayed to God to make the sun stand still. In response, God did not only stop the sun but also unleashed a storm of hail and fire on the enemies, helping the Israelites to victory.

Nothing is hard for God to do. Therefore, sinning youths can have their miracle of salvation and all believers can have healing, success, sanctification, deliverance and uncommon miracles. God will break protocol for you as you go out today. Have faith and ask according to God’s will.
Quote: Nothing is hard for God to do
Challenge: God reigns over all.
Prayer for today: Father, I need miracles: break protocols for my sake.
1. Admit that you are a sinner. "For all [humans] have sinned, and comes short of the glory of God....[and] the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 3:23)
2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
