Take New Territories

Joshua 17:14-15 NKJV "Then the children of Joseph spoke to Joshua, saying, “Why have you given us only one lot and one share to inherit, since we are  a great people, inasmuch as the Lord has blessed us until now?” So Joshua answered them, “If you are a great people, then go up to the forest country and clear a place for yourself there in the land of the Perizzites and the giants, since the mountains of Ephraim are too confined for you.”

This is the year of achievements! Hallelujah! God's grace to make uncommon accomplishments is available for you and I and we must take full advantage of it.

The children of Joseph were great, strong and blessed; and they were given just a lot; it was insufficient and they wanted more. They obviously expected Joshua to apportion more lots to them, probably to take from another tribe and give to them; but Joshua told them that if they wanted more they should go up to the forest, clear it, and get more! That's what some of you need to do instead of complaining.

Maybe you are not getting enough from your job, stop complaining, get up and take new territories because you are great and blessed! We like to say that "life" gave us this and that, if you are dissatisfied then get up, go up and take new lands! You don't have to settle for less than you need when God has made grace available for you to get as much as you want. Stop complaining and waiting for some mysterious opportunity, be proactive; the place may be looking like a forest right now, but with some effort it can become a very beautiful land. Take new territories!
