Still Eligible – Go Take the Land
Chapter Overview:
These chapters break down the inheritance given to the descendants of Joseph, specifically his two sons—Ephraim and Manasseh.
It’s a passage full of divine order, spiritual inheritance, and boldness, especially in how it highlights women stepping into what’s theirs and how fear can keep you from taking the land God already said is yours.
Key Scriptures to Read & Reflect On:
Joshua 16:1–4 – Boundaries of Ephraim and Manasseh’s inheritance
Joshua 17:3–6 – The daughters of Zelophehad boldly claim their portion
Joshua 17:14–18 – The people of Joseph complain about not having enough land
Joshua 1:9 (Reminder of God’s command to be strong and courageous)
What to Reflect On:
The Boundaries Were Set, But Action Was Still Required.
The land was assigned, but they still had to possess it.
What areas of your life has God already spoken over, but you haven’t stepped into yet?
Women Were Not Overlooked.
The daughters of Zelophehad stood up and claimed what was theirs—even in a time when women were rarely given land.
Just like Achsah in Joshua 15, they asked in boldness… and received.
Are you letting culture or fear keep you from asking God for more?
Don’t Let Complaining Blind You to Opportunity.
The tribe of Joseph had numbers and strength but still complained. Joshua reminded them: Go clear the forest. Drive out the enemy. Take the land.
Are you sitting on the solution and calling it a problem?

“Lord, what inheritance have I not claimed yet? Am I waiting for You to move when You’ve already told me to step forward?”
“Have I disqualified myself from something You’ve already qualified me for?”
“Am I afraid to ask for what I truly desire—like Achsah or the daughters of Zelophehad?”
Declarations:
“I am still eligible. What God has for me is for me.”
“I will not let culture, fear, or delay rob me of my inheritance.”
“I will see opportunity where others see limitation.”
ARISE Wisdom Nugget:
“Sometimes the land is yours, but the giants are still present. That doesn’t mean it’s not yours—it just means you’ve got to fight for it.”
