Joshua 12 - 15 (26th Mar)

Joshua 12

This chapter covers a list of kings that were defeated by the Israelites. 2 kings from east of Jordan and 31 kings from west side of Jordan were all defeated by Israelites.

Joshua 13


Though the Israelites conquered many land but yet there were still land not conquered (v1). Then further in this chapter, it talks about the land on the east side of Jordan to be divided with the tribe of Reuben, Gad and Manasseh. The Levites were not given any inheritance because the Lord is their inheritance (v14, 33)

Joshua 14


This chapter is the continuation of the division of the land. But this chapter is the division on the west of Jordan. Also from v6 onwards, it talks about Caleb. Caleb was 85 years old and he is still strong as before (v10, 11). Caleb asked Joshua for the hill country and Joshua blessed and gave the hill country as Caleb’s inheritance.

Joshua 15

This chapter talks about all the land that was given to the tribe of Judah. This is a big piece of land.

Joshua 14:9 - 'The land on which your feet have walked will be your inheritance and that of your children forever, because you have followed the LORD my God wholeheartedly.'

God always wanted us to claim back the land for His glory. So wherever you go, wherever you set your foot on, pray and ask God to claim back the land for you so that His name be glorified. Go pray and claim your school or your workplace for the Lord and follow the Lord wholeheartedly.
