" So the Lord said to Joshua: “Get up! Why do you lie thus on your face? Israel has sinned, and they have also transgressed My covenant which I commanded them. For they have even taken some of the accursed things, and have both stolen and deceived; and they have also put it among their own stuff. Therefore the children of Israel could not stand before their enemies, but turned their backs before their enemies, because they have become doomed to destruction. Neither will I be with you anymore, unless you destroy the accursed from among you. Get up, sanctify the people, and say, ‘sanctify yourselves for tomorrow, because thus says the Lord God of Israel: “There is an accursed thing in your midst, O Israel; you cannot stand before your enemies until you take away the accursed thing from among you.” (Joshua 7: 10- 13)
You see, the same Israel that conquered Jericho and her mighty men of valor was disgraced before the "few" people of Ai (Joshua 7:2-5) because sin was found among them.
In this race, God will only work wonders in a life that is His and His alone. A consecrated man is a victorious man any day, anytime. The presence of God precedes His wonders and you cannot command the presence of God when your life is not consecrated to God. (Psalm 24:4-5)
So today, put away from yourself that which impedes your relationship with God and ask Him to sanctify you. Jesus loves you

.....Surely his salvation is near to those who fear him, so our land will be filled with his glory.Psalms 85:9 (NLT)
