Joshua 7:1 But the children of Israel committed a trespass in the accursed thing: for Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, took of the accursed thing: and the anger of the Lord was kindled against the children of Israel.
However, with all of the warnings given by God, the temptation to take the accursed thing proved to be too great for one person, even Achan and therefore, what follows next is where our study will begin, for it will us give pause for concern as we observe all of the ramifications and consequences that follow. Several observations will be highlighted, and then, God will bid us to keep ourselves from the accursed thing in our day, lest we also become accursed.
[1] The accursed thing, or an accursed person could cause catastrophic damage to come upon others, if persons are not guided by God in all things. These are the days when you will have to pray about any, and everything, because there is a heavy curse resting upon the land. Especially will this be true if you plan to travel, especially to places where there’s the drum beat of war, or where you would associate with persons you don’t know, in close proximity.
For instance, because of the accursed thing across the globe, you would have to pray first before going on a cruise, lest some Hantavirus, or other sudden, unforeseen problem, puts a spoke in your wheels, possibly for months on end, as Covid once did. It doesn’t mean that you cannot go; all God is saying is that you should seek Him in prayer first, so that if He so chooses, He could give you a heads up of any potential problems that might arise out of the blue, of which you were not expecting.
Joshua 7:3 And they returned to Joshua, and said unto him, Let not all the people go up; but let about two or three thousand men go up and smite Ai; and make not all the people to labor thither; for they are but few.
May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!
