  2. Jesus’ first victory was over his most powerful foes—Satan and the demons. Expelling them from heaven, he hurled them down to the earth.

    Knowing that their time is short, these wicked spirits have vented their violent anger on mankind, causing great woe.

    This woe is symbolized in Revelation by the ride of three more horsemen. (Revelation 6:3-8; 12:7-12) In line with Jesus’ prophecy concerning “the sign of [his] presence and of the conclusion of the system of things,” their ride has resulted in warfare, famine, and deadly plague. (Matthew 24:3, 7; Luke 21:7-11)

    Like literal birth pangs, these “pangs of distress” will no doubt continue to intensify until Christ ‘completes his conquest’ by destroying every vestige of Satan’s visible organization.*Matthew 24:8.

  4. JEHOVAH WAS WITH JOSHUA - HE WILL BE WITH US! ~

    To succeed in his assignment, what did Joshua need?

    Let us turn the clock back some 35 centuries. Forty years have passed since millions of Israelites were delivered from Egyptian bondage under the mighty hand of Jehovah. 

    The prophet Moses has taken the lead. Now at the age of 120, he views the Promised Land from a distance and then dies atop Mount Nebo. His successor is Joshua, a man “full of the spirit of wisdom.” (Deut. 34:1-9) The Israelites are about to take possession of Canaan. To succeed as their leader, Joshua will need God-given wisdom. He will also have to exercise faith in Jehovah and prove to be courageous and strong.—Deut. 31:22, 23.

    At the end of his life, in his farewell address, he said: “You must be very courageous to keep and to do all that is written in the book of the law of Moses by never turning away from it to the right or to the left.” (Josh. 23:6) 

    We too need the courage to obey Jehovah at all times. This includes occasions when mere men demand that we act contrary to God’s will. (Read Acts 4:18-20; 5:29.) If we prayerfully rely on Jehovah, he will help us to take such a courageous stand.

    HOW WE CAN MAKE OUR WAY SUCCESSFUL

    To act with courage and have success, Joshua needed to do what?

    To have the courage needed to do God’s will, we must study and apply his Word. That is what Joshua was told to do when he became Moses’ successor: “Be courageous and very strong to take care to do according to all the law that Moses my servant commanded you. . . . This book of the law should not depart from your mouth, and you must in an undertone read in it day and night, in order that you may take care to do according to all that is written in it; for then you will make your way successful and then you will act wisely.” 

    (Josh. 1:7, 8) Joshua followed that counsel, and ‘his way was successful.’ If we do likewise, we will have greater courage and success in God’s service.

    “Be courageous and strong. . . . Jehovah your God is with you.”—Joshua 1:9

  5. IS MONEY THE FIRST THING IN YOUR LIFE? CAN'T LIFE WITHOUT? ???

    (Proverbs 18:11) The valuable things of the rich are his strong town, and they are like a protective wall in his imagination."

    The spirit of the world promotes “the desire of the eyes” by encouraging greed and materialism.

    (1 John 2:16) because everything in the world—the desire of the flesh and the desire of the eyes and the showy display of one’s means of life—does not originate with the Father, but originates with the world."

    It has nurtured in many a determination to be rich. 

    (1 Timothy 6:9-10) However, those who are determined to be rich fall into temptation and a snare and many senseless and hurtful desires, which plunge men into destruction and ruin. 10 For the love of money is a root of all sorts of injurious things, and by reaching out for this love some have been led astray from the faith and have stabbed themselves all over with many pains."

    That spirit would have us believe that a stockpile of material things will provide lasting security. We should ask ourselves, ‘Has my life become focused on a quest for material comforts and pleasures?’ By contrast, God’s spirit-inspired Word encourages us to have a balanced view of money and to work hard to provide material necessities for ourselves and our family. 

    (1 Timothy 5:8) Certainly if anyone does not provide for those who are his own, and especially for those who are members of his household, he has disowned the faith and is worse than a person without faith."

    God’s spirit helps those who receive it to reflect Jehovah’s generous personality. Such ones are known as givers, not takers. They value people more highly than things and gladly share what they have when they can afford to do so.

    (Proverbs 3:27-28) Do not hold back good from those to whom it is owing, when it happens to be in the power of your hand to do [it]. 28 Do not say to your fellowman: “Go, and come back and tomorrow I shall give,” when there is something with you."

    And they never allow the pursuit of money to take precedence over serving God.

    Song 138

    Jehovah Is Your Name
    (Psalm 83:18)

    1. The living and true God—
    The God of all creation
    In ev’ry generation—
    Jehovah is your name.
    We’re honored and we’re proud
    To be your congregation.
    In ev’ry tribe and nation,
    Your glory we proclaim.

    (CHORUS)
    Jehovah, Jehovah,
    There is no God like you.
    There’s no other in the heavens
    Or on the earth below.
    You alone are God Almighty,
    And this all men must know.
    Jehovah, Jehovah,
    We have no other God but you.

    2. You cause us to become
    Whatever you desire,
    To do as you require—
    Jehovah is your name.
    And Witnesses for you
    Is what you’ve kindly named us.
    We’re honored you have claimed us—
    A people for your name.

    (CHORUS)
    Jehovah, Jehovah,
    There is no God like you.
    There’s no other in the heavens
    Or on the earth below.
    You alone are God Almighty,
    And this all men must know.
    Jehovah, Jehovah,
    We have no other God but you.
    (See also 2 Chron. 6:14; Ps. 72:19; Isa. 42:8.)

  9. 16 "The trees of Jehovah are satisfied,

    The cedars of Lebʹa·non that he planted,

    17 Where the birds make nests.

    The home of the stork is in the juniper trees.

    18 The high mountains are for the mountain goats;

    The crags are a refuge for the rock badgers.

    19 He has made the moon to mark the appointed times;

    The sun well knows when to set.

    20 You bring darkness, and night falls,

    When all the wild animals of the forest roam about.. (Psalms 104:16-20)
