  6. INTRODUCTION Last time that I preach here, I told us from scripture that his divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through our knowledge of him who has called us into his own glory

  7. and goodness. And I remember telling us that knowledge is power and lack of knowledge means that God will reject us because we do not have knowledge. Today by the grace of God we shall be looking at the only way to true prosperity and victory which depends on comes only

  8. through our total dependence or reliance on God’s word. The charge on Joshua and Timothy can never be down played because the command was an imperative command, which is serious. We shall be looking at reasons why and how we too can follow even

  9. in the foot-steps of our Lord and savior Jesus Christ.

  10. REASONS WHY AND HOW WE TOO CAN FOLLOW EVEN IN THE FOOT-STEPS OF OUR LORD AND SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST.

  11. Why was Timothy a young person charged with this responsibility of nightly handling the word of truth? • 2 TIMOTHY 4:3: In order not to develop itching ears which leads astray. • 2 TIMOTHY 4;2: To rebuke, to reprove and to exhort with complete patience • 2 TIMOTHY 3: To stand firm because in the last days Godlessness will abound

  12. HOW CAN A CHRISTIAN OVERCOME SHAME AND BECOME PROSPEROUS? • 2 TIMOTHY 2:15: By rightly handling the word of truth • JOSHUA 1:8A: by simply not allowing the word of God to depart from his mouth • JOSHUA 1:8B: By meditating and being doers of the word of God James 1:22 day and night.

  13. OUR CHIEF EXAMPLE TO FOLLOW (JESUS CHRIST) • MATHEW 4:1-11.

  14. CONCLUSION Our chief example to follow. (Jesus Christ) will not abandon his trust in God to provide a way out: Jesus replied to each of Satan’s temptations with reference to scripture to each of

  15. Satan’s temptations with reference to Scriptures. “The Sword of the Spirit” in God’s word (Eph. 6:17) and Jesus relied on Scripture for victory in his spiritual struggle. TAKE THE HELMET OF SALVATION AND THE SWORD OF THE SPIRIT, WHICH IS THE WORD OF GOD. NIV

  16. GO IN PEACE AND SERVE THE LORD.
