See, I have set the land before you; go in and possess the land which the Lord swore to your fathers-to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob-to give to them and their descendants after them.
-Deuteronomy 1:8 (KJV)If you have attended church, bible study or Sunday school regularly, you have probably heard the story of the Children of Israel: their escape from Egypt, their years of wandering in the wilderness and their ultimate victory as they captured the land that God gave them. Despite receiving a direct promise from God, they struggled in their journey to their promised land for 40 years. Being that we are descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the promise to possess land still applies to us today. As a real estate professional consulting with hundreds of individuals with the process of buying a home, Shakeima Clark Chatman has witnessed their struggle to break free from the slavery of renting and receive their promised land. In Possess the Land: The Believer’s Guide to Home Buying, Shakeima parallels the journey of the Children of Israel with the journey of home buying. This step-by-step guide will teach you how to use biblical principles to conquer the giants that have inhabited your promised land, increase your credit scores, decrease debt, and grow your savings account so that you can walk in the authority of God and receive the property that He has promised you. In Joshua 18:3, Joshua says to the Children of Israel, How long will you put off entering to take possession of the land which the LORD, the God of your fathers, has given you? I pose this same question to you. How much longer will you wait? There is no better time than now. It’s time to possess the land!!
