DEVOTION ~ RAHAB'S WORKS OF FAITH

-

Theme: Rahab's Works of Faith

Text: James 2:25

25 Likewise, was not Rahab the harlot also justified by works when she received the messengers and sent them out another way?


Rahab was known as a prostitute in her homeland Jericho and probably looked down upon. However, a twist of events made her attain a divine recognition in the genealogy of Jesus Christ. She displayed her faith in the God of the Israelites and aided the spies to escape from the men sent by the king. She went into a covenant with the spies to save her household. She kept the scarlet cord through her window and she was saved. Dear friends, the work that must be done ought to be done if we want to see results. Learn from Rahab to listen to the prompting of the Holy Spirit and work for Christ: There might be no spies in this dispensation but there are opportunities knocking at your door that can catapult you to the next level so grab it.


PRAYER: Almighty God, grant me divine wisdom like Rahab to act wisely when opportunities knock at my door. Lord help me! This I ask in the Name of Jesus Christ. AMEN!

Let us be informed that Christ's second return is for judgment.  √ Apollos was instructed in the way of Christ by Priscilla and Aquila, two faithful couples in Christ. After one of his public teachings, he was called aside by the couple who explained the scripture to him. His submissiveness to adhere to...

Do you feel you're forgotten, rejected or insecure? Dear beloved in the Lord, you're not forgotten, for God has engraved your name in His palms. Isaiah 49:16 See, "I have engraved you on the Palms of My Hands: Your walls are ever before Me". If God has engraved your name in His palms, it means He always sees or watches over you. Rise up and shake the fear and doubts off.  Declare, "I am not forgotten or alone. The LORD has engraved me in His Palms. Therefore, His eyes are fixed on me, and He protects me from the wicked. I decree all that I have is secured in the Name of Jesus Christ. AMEN!

What inhibits you determines what comes out of you. The two elements are light and darkness. The light within produces good, whereas darkness is evil. It is recorded in  Ephesians 5:8-9 For once you were full of darkness, but now you have light from the Lord. So live as people of light! For this light within you produces only what is good, right, and true.  Declare, "In the Name of Jesus Christ, I no longer walk in darkness but rather in light. Therefore, every product of darkness within and around me is extinct. I decree that my family and I live in light, and we enjoy what the light produces in fullness. Our deeds are good, right, and true. AMEN!"
