SteemChurch Telos Village: Widening the territory

Saludos a todos los feligreses de SteemChurch Telos.

A medida que avanza SteemChurch Telos Village, siempre es necesario mantener la intención de seguir expandiendo la vision, como Jabes el ilustre bíblico.

If you want to expand your territory and you do not find a way out, if you do not know how to move forward, you should only raise your eyes to the sky and follow 3 simple steps.

When Israel entered the promised land and Joshua began to distribute it, Caleb was given the mountain of Hebron, a land of giants, with large and fortified cities: "So Joshua blessed him, and gave Caleb the son of Jephunneh to Hebron; inheritance "Jos. 14:13.

But if we dig a little deeper into this event, we can realize that Caleb took 3 steps, thanks to which he could obtain the best land for inheritance:

1. He followed Jehovah: Caleb himself told Joshua: "And my brothers, those who had gone up with me, made the heart of the people faint; but I fulfilled following Jehovah my God "Joshua 14: 8. And this is what verses later recorded in the Bible: "Therefore Hebron became the inheritance of Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite, to this day, because he had followed the LORD God of Israel fully" Joshua 14:14.

2. He believed the Lord: Although his other ten companions brought bad news and made the hearts of the people faint, Caleb made a statement of faith: "Let us go up then, and let us take possession of it; because we can do more than them "Numbers 13:30, and when the people began to complain and rebel against God, again together with Joshua they said:" If Jehovah is pleased with us, he will take us to this land, and he will give it to us; Land that flows milk and honey. Therefore do not be rebellious against Jehovah, nor fear the people of this land; because we will eat them like bread; His refuge has departed from them, and Jehovah is with us; do not fear them "Numbers 14: 8-9.

3. He asked for it: Caleb did not think about it or desire it, but asked for it and reminded Joshua of the promise that Moses had made to him: "Give me now this mountain, of which Jehovah spoke that day; for you heard on that day that the Anakim are there, and that there are great and fortified cities. "Joshua 14: 12a.

When you do not have how to widen your territory, there is a way out. Look up, because up there are no limits. When you do not find how to advance, lift your eyes to heaven, and like Caleb, follow God faithfully, believe His promises and make a reckless prayer, ask without limits.

"Ask of me, and I will give you as an inheritance the nations, and as your possession the ends of the earth" Psalm 2: 8.
