DESCRIPTION

Charles E. Cowman preaches about the unclaimed territory of Divine
promises, drawing inspiration from Joshua 1:3 where God promises every
place the sole of their foot treads upon. He emphasizes the importance
of claiming and appropriating God's promises through obedient faith and
believing obedience, comparing it to the Israelites' failure to possess
the full extent of their promised land due to not fully treading on it.
Cowman urges believers to take possession of the vast promises of God,
encouraging them to march through their inheritance with faith and
confidence.

"Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon, that have I
given unto you" (Joshua 1:3).

Beside the literal ground, unoccupied for Christ, there is the
unclaimed, untrodden territory of Divine promises. What did God say to
Joshua? "Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon, that
have I given unto you," and then He draws the outlines of the Land of
Promise--all theirs on one condition: that they shall march through the
length and breadth of it, and measure it off with their own feet.

They never did that to more than one-third of the property, and
consequently they never had more than one-third; they had just what they
measured off, and no more.

In 2 Peter, we read of the "land of promise" that is opened up to us,
and it is God's will that we should, as it were, measure off that
territory by the feet of obedient faith and believing obedience, thus
claiming and appropriating it for our own.

How many of us have ever taken possession of the promises of God in the
name of Christ?

Here is a magnificent territory for faith to lay hold on and march
through the length and breadth of, and faith has never done it yet.

Let us enter into all our inheritance. Let us lift up our eyes to the
north and to the south, to the east and to the west, and hear Him say,
"All the land that thou seest will I give to thee." --A. T. Pierson

Wherever Judah should set his foot that should be his; wherever Benjamin
should set his foot, that should be his. Each should get his inheritance
by setting his foot upon it. Now, think you not, when either had set his
foot upon a given territory, he did not instantly and instinctively
feel, "This is mine"?

An old colored man, who had a marvelous experience in grace, was asked:
"Daniel, why is it that you have so much peace and joy in religion?" "O
Massa!" he replied, "I just fall flat on the exceeding great and
precious promises, and I have all that is in them. Glory! Glory!" He who
falls flat on the promises feels that all the riches embraced in them
are his. --Faith Papers

The Marquis of Salisbury was criticized for his Colonial policies and
replied: "Gentlemen, get larger maps."
