Give me this Mountain

Sermon Description

Joshua 14:12 ‘’ Now therefore give me this mountain, whereof the Lord spake in that day; for thou heardest in that day how the Anakims were there, and that the cities were great and fenced: if so be the Lord will be with me, then I shall be able to drive them out, as the Lord said.’’

The statement in Joshua 14:12 is a clear definite request for purpose. It is a demand with the intension to possess, subdue and completely takeover the subject, which was on account of promise made. Mountain here depicts allocation, lot, place of abode, possession, etc. To Caleb, it is his divinely promised inheritance where he would plant his family and descendants for many generations.

There are certain forms of mountain: the family; foundation of where every life is built or destroyed

Education; where truth or error is inculcated in the life of many. The Politics and governance: where legislations are made for or against the kingdom. Religion: Powerful system of course, which people can die for. Economy: the resources of the society that fuels any other mountain.

Therefore, mountain can mean different things for different people:

To the children of Israel, it was the Promised Land that flows milk and honey

To  Elijah it was the conquest at mount Carmel.

To Jacob, it was the change of identity that ushers him to become a nation; Israel.

To Rachel, it was Joseph, the only Prime Minister of Egypt and the Preserver of life.

The second anointing and enthronement of David as king depended on the ancient conquest of Caleb at Hebron.

To Hannah, it was Prophet Samuel, one of the greatest prophets and judges Israel ever had.

To Apostle Paul, it was the gentile world.

All of these cases defined success for the people. However, every one of them had spiritual contentions by entities, which are keepers of the gate waiting to fight and retain their possession; whether ministerial, family, academic, social, or spiritual mountains.
