I would like to quote Joshua 3:9-17 in my personal sharing points related to the events and
circumstances before Joshua leading the people of Israel crossing the River of Jordan.
9 And Joshua said to the people of Israel, “Come here and listen to the words of the LORD your God.” 10 And Joshua said, “Here is how you shall know that the living God is among you and that he will without fail drive out from before you the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Hivites, the Perizzites, the Girgashites, the Amorites, and the Jebusites. 11 Behold, the ark of the covenant of the Lord of all the earth[b] is passing over before you into the Jordan. 12 Now therefore take twelve men from the tribes of Israel, from each tribe a man. 13 And when the soles of the feet of the priests bearing the ark of the LORD, the Lord of all the earth, shall rest in the waters of the Jordan, the waters of the Jordan shall be cut off from flowing, and the waters coming down from above shall stand in one heap.”14 So when the people set out from their tents to pass over the Jordan with the priests bearing the ark of the covenant before the people, 15 and as soon as those bearing the ark had come as far as the Jordan, and the feet of the priests bearing the ark were dipped in the brink of the water (now the Jordan overflows all its banks throughout the time of harvest), 16 the waters coming down from above stood and rose up in a heap very far away, at Adam, the city that is beside Zarethan, and those flowing down toward the Sea of the Arabah, the Salt Sea, were completely cut off. And the people passed over opposite Jericho. 17 Now the priests bearing the ark of the covenant of the LORD stood firmly on dry ground in the midst of the Jordan, and all Israel was passing over on dry ground until all the nation finished passing over the Jordan
Joshua 3:9-17 (ESV)
Joshua 3:9-17 with the following 3 key points
• Unity – all 12 tribe leaders followed Joshua commends
• God selects the best time to manifest His might – Jordan was overflowing when they crossed
• Reacting to circumstances vs Strategic manoeuvering i.e. – The enemies were behind them when they crossed the Red
Sea – The enemies were in front of them when they crossed the
Jordan
At this stage of the project, I feel like I am Joshua. I have experienced many miracles God has done to ECCC.
To name a few :
• Putting up two buildings (the sanctuary and the existing pastoral wing) before we own the land was purely faith of our forefathers, especially during the 1980’s.
• Costing the church merely $500k for the 2.6+ acres of land plus 9,000 sq ft of the building just as manna from heaven.
• Became debt free in less than 5 years after the 2003 expansion was God’s work and strong commitments of our members.
I have experienced them all.
• Now I am an OLD man, I have the calling to
share what I have experienced with the younger
ones and remind others of God’s blessing to
ECCC.
Further Questions
• I will be available after the service• Consult with any council members, deacons or
