The Sun Stood Still - Victory by Divine Intervention Pastor Chidi Okorie Episode 1316 - SendMe Radio

In Joshua 10, a dramatic and miraculous battle unfolds. When five Amorite kings led by the king of Jerusalem form an alliance and attack the city of Gibeon (who had made peace with Israel), the Gibeonites call on Joshua for help. Joshua marches his army all night from Gilgal and surprises the enemy.

Key Events
•Divine Assurance: God tells Joshua not to fear, promising victory.
•Supernatural Aid: As Israel attacks, God throws the enemy into confusion. Then, large hailstones fall from the sky, killing more enemy soldiers than the sword.
•The Sun Stands Still: Joshua prays, and in one of the Bible’s most astonishing miracles, the sun stops in the sky, extending the day so Israel can fully defeat their enemies.
•Victory Secured: The five kings hide in a cave and are captured. Joshua executes them and hangs them on trees, showing Israel’s complete dominance.
•Southern Conquest Continues: Joshua leads Israel to conquer many southern cities—Makkedah, Libnah, Lachish, Eglon, Hebron, and Debir—devoting all to destruction, as God had commanded.

This chapter reveals God’s power over nature and history. When God fights for His people, nothing—not even the sun—can stand in the way. It’s a call to courage, obedience, and bold prayer.
