✍️ During World 🌎 War 2 the Air Force had a special squadron known as the "Pathfinders". It was made up of the best pilots in the air force. The Pathfinders were sent in before the main force of bombers to mark the targets. They had special incendiary bombs that set alight the targets so the squadrons would know where to drop the bombs. They were not distracted by the anti-aircraft fire or the night fighters sent to get them. They were men full of courage that could be counted on to fulfill their missions. They risked their lives so that the other pilots could make their missions successful.

Their mission of pathfinders is like the two spies sent to Jericho. We saw how Rahab was saved through faith in God. After the spies returned to Joshua, they gave a full report of their mission. We read this account in Joshua 2:23-24. So, the two men returned, descended from the mountain, and crossed over; and they came to Joshua the son of Nun, and told him all that had befallen them. And they said to Joshua, "Truly the LORD has delivered all the land into our hands, for indeed all the inhabitants of the country are fainthearted because of us". After hearing the report, Joshua acted immediately. God said He would go before Israel into Canaan like Pathfinders.

Beloved, do not take any step in your life without a word and instructions from your pathfinder who is the Lord Almighty through the directives of the Holy Ghost. Do everything possible to always hear from Him through the reading and listening to the word of God before leaving your house daily and before any life decisions. May God, give you🫵 grace to read and listen to His words in Jesus Name 🙏.

Bible said in Joshua 3:2: "And it came to pass after three days, that the officers went through the host"; After three days Joshua sent the officers of the people through the camp with instructions on the river crossing. Why did he take so long? Why didn't he issue orders to move out the next day? I believe that God didn't tell him immediately what to do. I believe that God let the people look at the flooded river for three days to show them that humanly speaking the situation was just impossible. God wanted the people of Israel to recognize their need for Him to act on their behalf. After three days, God told Joshua what to do, and he relayed the command to the people through his officers.

Beloved, what has the Lord told you🫵 concerning your day as you read this devotional? Make sure you receive a word from Him before leaving the house, and surely you will come back home safely and give thanks to Him for His faithfulness in Jesus' mighty name 🙏.

God's first command to Israel was "Follow the Lord"; Joshua 3:3 says: and they commanded the people, saying, When you see the ark of the covenant of the LORD your God, and the priests, the Levites, bearing it, then you shall set out from your place and go after it. They were to follow the ark of the covenant into Canaan. Why were they commanded to do this? What did the ark of the covenant represent? God's presence rested above the mercy seat between the cherubim.

Beloved, you🫵 are not permitted to take any step today without the Lord going ahead of you🫵. In Exodus 33:14-16, Moses said to God "Unless your presence goes with us, we are not going anywhere, for how can we be different if not that your presence goes with us." There is no glory without God's presence. If the glory of God will be seen all over you, God's presence must go with you🫵. I prophesy to you🫵 that every step you🫵 take today will be directed by God and the Holy Ghost in Jesus' Mighty Name 🙏.
