Is God sending you a Rahab figure, a secret encourager, from an unusual source?
Israel were about to step into their inheritance, the place they should always have occupied after God delivered them out of Egypt. (What is your inheritance today?) On the first occasion they came to their land, Moses sent out twelve spies but the majority missed it. Ten of them brought back a bad report and convinced the whole nation not to trust God and go in and take the land. The majority often won’t take the ‘Step of Faith’ required to go God’s way.
2 Then Joshua son of Nun secretly sent two spies from Shittim. ‘Go, look over the land,’ he said, ‘especially Jericho.’ So they went and entered the house of a prostitute named Rahab and stayed there. Joshua 2
Joshua only sent two spies to go and spy out the land, IT WASN’T GOING TO A VOTE THIS TIME, he was just gathering information. In our day, the ‘main stream media’ is the primary influence on millions of people’s lives and it’s mostly contrary to God’s direction and purpose, intentionally so. God may speak to us through a few voices, Joshua and Caleb, and He may not speak loudly.
24 But because my servant Caleb has a different spirit and follows me wholeheartedly, I will bring him into the land he went to, and his descendants will inherit it. Numbers 14
The two spies Joshua sent into the land met Rahab and though she was one of the ‘enemy’ she encouraged them.
9 and (Rahab) said to them, ‘I know that the Lord has given this land to you and that a GREAT FEAR OF YOU has fallen on us, so that all who live in this country are MELTING IN FEAR BECAUSE OF YOU. Joshua 2
Rahab also spoke words of wisdom to the two spies (unbelievers may also have wisdom from God for us, don’t be quick to discount them). Moses father-in-law, Jethro gave him good advice to administer justice to the nation. Exodus 18
Rahab’s words must have meant a lot to the Israelites, both the spies and those to whom they reported. God may be bringing someone to us today to speak wisdom and direction to us. They may look different from what we expect, but still give good advice and prove trustworthy. They may be a Rahab or Jethro whom God has sent to help us into the new phase of His plans. Be open to Godly wisdom, however it comes to you. If it doesn’t jar/clash with your spirit, it may be from the Lord.
