Pastor Richard "Buddy" Wimberly "The Lord Magnified Joshua" Joshua 4:14

Joshua 4:14 On that day the LORD magnified Joshua in the sight of all

Israel; and they feared him, as they feared Moses, all the days of his life.

The children of Israel had followed Moses for 40 years and reverenced

(feared) him as God’s chosen leader for them. All the years of their

journeying under the leadership of Moses, they experienced many

wonderful miracles: (the Red Sea parted, the bitters waters made sweet,

the pillar of cloud and the pillar of fire, manna every day, water out of

a Rock, quail for meat, miraculous deliverances and provisions) but

they were all meant for them in the wilderness journey. Now Israel was

crossing the Jordan to receive the promise of the land that flows with

milk and honey. There is a new era for the people of God. There is a new

leader for the people of God. The people of God are always to follow

God, however God always has a chosen man who would will lead His

people into the fulfillment of the promise.

Sometimes it takes a while for the people to receive the authority of a

new leader and sometimes it takes a new leader a while to accept the

reality of the authority placed upon him.

We are all passed over and now I stand before you having today accepted

the authority placed upon me and I also sense you the people of God

receiving Bro Buddy as your leader. I am the Pastor of Lannie Road

Baptist Church moreover I am your Pastor. I affirm to seek to lead you in

all the ways of the Lord for all my days. I beseech you to honor me and

this body as we walk with the Lord in this new era. We are called to go in

and possess the land.

Jos 1:1 Now after the death of Moses the servant of the LORD it came to pass, that the

LORD spake unto Joshua the son of Nun, Moses' minister, saying,

Jos 1:2 Moses my servant is dead; now therefore arise, go over this Jordan, thou, and all

this people, unto the land which I do give to them, even to the children of Israel.

Jos 1:3 Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon, that have I given unto you,

as I said unto Moses.

Jos 1:4 From the wilderness and this Lebanon even unto the great river, the river

Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, and unto the great sea toward the going down

of the sun, shall be your coast.

Jos 1:5 There shall not any man be able to stand before thee all the days of thy life: as I

was with Moses, so I will be with thee: I will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.

Jos 1:6 Be strong and of a good courage: for unto this people shalt thou divide for an

inheritance the land, which I sware unto their fathers to give them.

Jos 1:7 Only be thou strong and very courageous, that thou mayest observe to do

according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded thee: turn not from it

to the right hand or to the left, that thou mayest prosper whithersoever thou goest.

Jos 1:8 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate

therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written

therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good

success.

Jos 1:9 Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid,

neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou

goest.
