After the national circumcision following the 40years of wandering in the wilderness and failure to keep the Abrahamic Covenant (Gen.17:10-14), the Israelites were poised to match into and possess the promised land.
The first assignment was to TAKE THE CITY OF JERICHO through OBEDIENCE to simple instructions: walking around the walls and blowing the trumpet on the last lap and shouting out loud (Jos.6:1-5).
NB: After the circumcision appeared the Captain of the Lord host (Josh.5:13-15).
Therefore, the Gilgal dimension goes with FAITH and OBEDIENCE to divine instructions.
Faith sees beyond the size of a challenge or opposition. Faith focuses on the incomparable superiority of the source of the instruction ( Heb.11:1,6 ).
Apostle Peter walked on water when there was faith, but as soon as he began to focus on appearance, he sank ( Matt.14:24-31).
These are times of boisterous winds/waves, and so our focus must be on the Lord of all circumstances (cons. Pro.21:31). Initially, Apostle Peter obeyed the Lord with precision and enjoyed the supernatural until he disconnected from his source and began to sink.
There is no place for disobedience at Gilgal, as that was the bane of King Saul’s reign causing him forfeiture of founding a dynasty and loss of office and the Spirit of God (1Sam.13:4-15, 15:20-23, 16:14).
When there is faith, prayers are answered and declarations/decrees are established (Mk.11:23,24).
Let’s rise up to exercise our faith in prayers and declarations.
