TOPIC: Rahab, The Sanctified
MEMORISE: By faith the harlot Rahab perished not with them that believed not, when she had received the spies with peace. Hebrews 11:31
BIBLE READING: Proverbs 28:13
13 He that cover his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confess and forsake them shall have mercy.
MESSAGE:
One of the beautiful stories I have read in the Bible is that of Rahab. It constantly reminds me of how God can change the destiny of an individual. Rahab was known as a prostitute, but when she preserved the Israelite spies, she told them: “I know that the LORD hath given you the land, and that your terror is fallen upon us, and that all the inhabitant of the land faint because of you” (Joshua 2:9).Christian-themed motivational products
Eventually, Rahab became transformed as she grew in her knowledge of the God of Israel. She went on to marry Salmon, a prince of the tribe of Judah, and together, they had a son named Boaz, who later married Ruth. She became the great-great-grandmother of King David, and by extension, part of the lineage of Jesus Christ.
Beloved, no matter your past, God can change you like He changed Rahab and me too. He can make you fit into His glorious plan again if you surrender all to Him and forsake sin completely. Sin destroys destinies, but salvation and sanctification in Christ can give total restoration.
