Team Up _ Pt 8

<p>Monday 30th November 2020</p> <p>Hello and a beautiful Monday to you in the name of Jesus.</p> <p>It is interesting that today, Monday is the 30th of November.

That will not be our portion in the name of Jesus.</p> <p>Let us read Joshua 9: 12 - 15 (NKJV)</p> <p>12 This bread of ours we took hot for our provision from our houses on the day we departed to come to you. But now look, it is dry and mouldy. 13 And these wineskins which we filled were new, and see, they are torn; and these our garments and our sandals have become old because of the very long journey.” 14 Then the men of Israel took some of their provisions; but they [e]did not ask counsel of the Lord. 15 So Joshua made peace with them, and made a covenant with them to let them live; and the rule
