Joshua 7:13 (NKJV) 13 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.”
We want to talk today about accursed things.
In this particular verse, God was speaking to Joshua about a man named Achan.
Achan had a coveting issue (Joshua 7:21). He had taken some things from a battle they were in. He then hid them under his tent.
They consisted of a beautiful Babylonian garment, two hundred shekels of silver, and a wedge of gold weighing 50 shekels.
God had warned them not to take anything. By doing what he did, his sin and disobedience affected the whole of the children of Israel.
That’s right. It opened the door for defeat and destruction on them all.
They had to get rid of him, his family and all his goods in order to fix things.
Accursed things are things that God says, “don’t touch”.
What accursed things do we have today in our home or in our walk that have brought doom on us and have even affected others around us?
This is a big deal and it has become a major problem in the lives of many, many believers.
So, let’s take a closer look at this tomorrow.
