Topic: ZERO TO HERO PART 4- RAHAB
Biblical Text: “By faith the harlot Rahab perished not with them that believed not, when she had received the spies with peace”. [Hebrews 11:31]
Rahab was a harlot in the land of Jericho. When Joshua sent spies to the land of Jericho, they came to the house of Rahab and lodged there. Some people went to tell the king of Jericho that some spies came from the land of Israel and that they were staying in the house of Rahab. The king of Jericho ordered Rahab to bring the spies to him. He also ordered the gates of Jericho to be shut to prevent them from escaping. But Rahab denied that the spies were with her. The King then ordered a comprehensive search in the land and even outside of Judah for the spies. Before they could search Rahab’s house, Rahab helped them escape through a cord by the window of her house. She told the spies that she believed their God and begged them to save her and her family alive when they come to battle the land of Jericho. The spies promised to do as she had requested. Rahab advised the spies on how to escape from their pursuers at the mountain. The spies arrived at Israel safely and briefed Joshua about their findings and their promise to save Rahab. When Joshua and the people of Israel attacked the land of Jericho, only Rahab the harlot and her entire family were saved; all the people of Jericho with all their animals were destroyed and the city burned. The Lord opened the heart of Rahab the harlot to accept Him and He took her from a zero to a hero. Another trait that took Rahab the harlot from a zero to hero was her hospitality and love to the strangers. It was love that qualified Rahab to be listed among the elders of faith in the book of Hebrews. Accepting Jesus into our lives is very important; it takes us from a zero to a hero!
KNOW IT ∞ God can take you from a zero to a hero when you accept Him into your life and show love, care and hospitability even to strangers.
READ IT ∞ Joshua 2:1-21; 6:17-25
PRAY IT ∞ Jesus, thank you for coming into my heart to take me from a zero to a hero. Father, help me to show love and care even to strangers in Jesus Name.
