40The seventh lot came out for the clans of the tribe of Dan:
41The territory of their inheritance included Zorah, Eshtaol, Ir-shemesh, 42Shaalabbin, Aijalon, Ithlah, 43Elon, Timnah, Ekron, 44Eltekeh, Gibbethon, Baalath, 45Jehud, Bene-berak, Gath-rimmon, 46Me-jarkon, and Rakkon, including the territory across from Joppa.
47(Later, when the territory of the Danites was lost to them, they went up and fought against Leshem, captured it, and put it to the sword. So they took possession of Leshem, settled there, and renamed it after their father Dan.)
48This was the inheritance of the clans of the tribe of Dan, including these cities and their villages.
The tribe of Dan was the group of people who descended from the fifth son of Jacob.
The tribe of Dan never fully conquered this area as a result of a lack of faith in God.
Brethren, the Danites are no different than us because of our sinful nature. As we examine our inheritance in Jesus let’s ask ourselves this question:
What have we not fully conquered as a result of a lack of faith?
A few examples could be, a dependency, an addiction, a loss, a hurt, forgiveness, bitterness etc.
John 8: 31So He said to the Jews who had believed Him, “If you continue in My word, you are truly My disciples. 32Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
33“We are Abraham’s descendants,” they answered. “We have never been slaves to anyone. How can You say we will be set free?”
34Jesus replied, “Truly, truly, I tell you, everyone who sins is a slave to sin. 35A slave is not a permanent member of the family, but a son belongs to it forever. 36So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.
King Jesus is the chain breaker!
Will your faith set you free?
Blessings
