WISE HARLOT 2

Text : Joshua 2:1.

 *And Joshua the son of Nun sent out of Shittim two men to spy secretly, saying, Go view the land, even Jericho. And they went, and came into an harlot's house, named Rahab, and lodged there.* 

Yesterday, we looked into some of the features that qualified Rahab to be regarded as a wise harlot. Today, we shall look into more of these features. 

However, it's important to note again that Rahab is a type of a fallen man, If she received salvation, then, man has a big hope through Jesus Christ. *God has made adequate provision for man to transit from being a harlot, who has prostituted with this world, to being the redeemed of the Lord.* 

Below are some of the steps she took :

1. She took them to the roof of her house. Joshua 2:6.

The roof is the topmost layer of any house. She didn't just welcome these soldiers in her house, she hid them at the topmost part of the house. 

This connotes that *God must be given the topmost priority in your life. When you make God your number one, He will make you His priority.* Matt. 6:33.

2. She covered them with flax. 

 _But she had brought them up to the roof of the house, and hid them with the stalks of flax, which she had laid in order upon the roof._ Jos 2:6.

She did this, so they would not be discovered by the King's men. 

It is not enough to hear God's word, you must treasure it enough so it doesn't slip from you. 

Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip.Heb 2:1.

Prov. 23:23 says Buy the truth, and sell it not; also wisdom, and instruction, and understanding.

You must *consciously treasure the seed of God's word in your heart and guide it jealously so it doesn't slip away.* 

3. She pleaded for mercy. 

 _Now therefore, I pray you, swear unto me by the LORD, since I have shewed you kindness, that ye will also shew kindness unto my father's house, and give me a true token:_ Jos 2:12. She didn't leave anything to chance, she opened her mouth and begged for mercy. 

Don't miss your day of visitation *. Be wise enough to ask mercy from the only one who can deliver you-Jesus, the son of God.* 

4. She extended the Salvation to everyone in her household. Through this 'harlot', everyone in her father's house was delivered from destruction. 

 *Extend the love of God to everyone within your circle of influence.* 

 *But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren.* 

Bible Reading : Judges 2:1-24.

THE GOOD FIGHT-2

Text:  1 Timothy  6:12   Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. Another thing to pursue in fighting the good fight of faith is Godliness. We understand through the Holy scriptures that godliness is profitable unto all things.   *For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.* 1 Timothy  4:8.  You will reap the reward of your godliness not only when you get to heaven, but from here on earth. And this is why we are admonished to exercise ourselves unto godliness. (1 Timothy  4:7), because godliness with contentment is great gain.1 Timothy  6:6. Godliness is the practice of conforming to the image of God by reflecting the nature of the kingdom of God in the course of everyday life. In other words, godliness is living and portray...

WAY MAKER-2

Text: Isaiah 43:19 Behold, I will do a new thing: now it shall spring forth: shall ye not know it?  I will even make a way in the wilderness,  and rivers in the desert. God promised that He will do a new thing for you, and that He will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. He has done this before, and He will do it again even in your own life.  When the children of Israel left Egypt, the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them, encamping by the sea, beside Pihahiroth, before Baalzephon.(Exodus 14:9). Just like anyone would react, the Isrealites became so fearful because there is neither way forward nor back for them to escape. Before them was the red sea, behind them were the Egyptian armies. They became perplexed and began to murmur against Moses. It is possible you are also in a situation like the Israelites- No way forward, and no way behind. Things may appear like you are ...

HIS VOICE- 2

Text : John 10:3. To him the porter opens; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calls his own sheep by name, and leads them out. We established yesterday that one thing you can't joke with as a true follower of Christ is *His Voice.* You must recognise and hearken to (obey) His voice. It is in doing this that your safety is assured.  Today, we want to see another responsibility of the Shepherd over His sheep.  To him the porter opens; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calls his own sheep by name, *and leads them out.* John 10:3.  He called you, that He might lead you. It is not enough for you to hear or recognise His Voice, you must allow Him to lead you as well.  Romans 8:14 says *For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.*   The Spirit leading you determines the family you belong to. Basically,  there are only two families in this world - the family of God, and the family of satan. In other words, we can say the Kingdom...
