Normally when problems occur, you’re busy trying to find solutions which actually makes you fall further into a maze. However, even within crises, Rahab, with strong assurance, helped spies. A fragile woman changed the world. You, too, must restore the blessings and faith that Rahab received.
1. Enjoy the Throne and the Blessings that Transcend Time and Space
At that time, Rahab’s act of hiding the spies was a resolution to stake her life. She was able to boldly help the evangelists because she knew the blessings of the throne and the blessings that transcended time and space. Rahab said, “I know that the Lord has given you this land,” and praised “the true God of heaven and earth.” Judging from her belief, it’s not an exaggeration to say that Rahab was actually the main figure of the fall of Jericho.
2. Shine the Light toward the 237 Nations
Rahab knew of the strength of the covenant that saved the 237 nations. She had such strong assurance to the point of lying in order to save the spies. She even gave them detailed information. Ultimately, as a reward for helping the evangelists, she received the blessing of being recorded in Jesus’ genealogy. Likewise, if you accurately hold onto just the covenant, you’ll receive eternal answers.
The strength to save the world and age starts from a small covenant. No matter how small your covenant may seem, God will use you if you accurately hold onto it. Thus, the incidents and meetings in your field must go according to the stream of the covenant.
Dear God, armed with Rahab’s heart, help me to hold onto the covenant, enjoy the blessings of the throne, and the blessings that transcend time and space. I pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

Oh! to be like Thee, blessed Redeemer,
This is my constant longing and prayer; Gladly I’ll forfeit all of earth’s treasures, Jesus, Thy perfect likeness to wear.
