Joshua’s Qualities of Leadership

  • Nothing distracted him from pursuing the fullest victory. Do not be distracted or disoriented, but keep your eyes on the chief task. (v. 10:19)
  • He communicated what made him strong by taking every teaching opportunity. (v. 10:25)
  • He pursued his goals step by step with forethought. (v. 11:23)
  • He used his errors as learning moments. (v. 11:6)
  • He believed God without reservation (vv. 1:6, 10:42, 11:6) despite knowing that he had enemies who were coming for him. (v. 11:20—a verse especially for those who think they know more about God than God does)
  • He obeyed God completely (v. 11:15)—a worthy statement to be striven-for in each of our lives.

  • We do not need to "cover" for God—He needs no apology. He will have victory.
  • Do not pray according to man’s natural laws, but according to God’s promises—but make sure they are relevant to the subject.
  • Let God call you to that same sense of general-ship in your life:
    • Be faithful.
    • Be creative.
    • Take the initiative.
    • Trust & obey—no slacking, no shirking, no falling short of His commands.
