UNSTOPPABLE – RAHAB’S WISDOM

TEXT: JOSHUA 2: 8-26

INTRODUCTION
Last time, we learnt about Rahab’s environment in order to understand her limitations. The truth is that it is not about where you are or who you are now or the limitations of life around you, it is about the fact that you can still be unstoppable despite these things!

THE WISDOM OF RAHAB THAT MADE HER UNSTOPPABLE

1. YOUR CONDITION IS NOT PERMANENT AND THERE IS A PLACE CALLED TOMORROW
Jos 2:8 Before the men lay down, she came up to them on the roof

Eph 3:20 Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us,
Eph 3:21 to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen.

1. Every CONDITION in my life that wants to stop me and my dreams – I stop you now.
2. Every CONDITION in my life that has turned me to a stupid person, a “mumu” – Terminate them now.
3. Every CONDITION in my life that has turned me to a beggar and a person of less or no value, DESTROY them now.
4. The event that will eradicate the terror and fear in my life permanently – make it happen now!
5. DO A WORK IN THE LIFE OF (insert name) AND USE IT TO SHOW THE WORLD THAT GOD CAN TURN IT AROUND FOR ANYBODY!
6. I command let today favor me and let tomorrow smile on me for Good!

2. GOD USES PEOPLE! AND STILL USES THEM! AND WILL CONTINUE TO USE THEM!

Jos 2:4 But the woman had TAKEN THE TWO MEN AND HIDDEN THEM. And she said, “True, the men came to me, but I did not know where they were from.
JOS 2:8 BEFORE THE MEN LAY DOWN, she came up to them on the roof
JOS 2:9 AND SAID TO THE MEN, “I KNOW THAT THE LORD HAS GIVEN YOU THE LAND, and that the fear of you has fallen upon us, and that all the inhabitants of the land melt away before you.

7. Grant me the unstoppable favor that makes people competitors become their enabler and helper.
8. You use people, you caused Rueben and Simon to speak for Joseph when it matters most – RAISE VOICES FOR ME TO FIGHT FOR MY DESTINY
9. You used Haman to help and “MAKE” Mordecai great – Please Lord, use my enemies and haters to advance your plan for my life!
10. For me to be unstoppable, use random people to support my goals while they do not know that is what they are doing!

“AND SAID TO THE MEN, “I KNOW THAT THE LORD HAS GIVEN YOU THE LAND”
11. Associate me with winners so I can win too. Arrange me to meet with them!

3. PREPARE FOR THE BREAKTHROUGHS WHEN THE OPPORTUNITIES ARE NOT EVEN THERE YET
Jos 2:9 and said to the men, “I know that the LORD has given you the land, and that the fear of you has fallen upon us, and that all the inhabitants of the land melt away before you.
Jos 2:10 FOR WE HAVE HEARD HOW the LORD dried up the water of the Red Sea before you when you came out of Egypt, AND WHAT YOU DID TO THE TWO KINGS OF THE AMORITES who were beyond the Jordan, to Sihon and Og, whom you devoted to destruction.
Jos 2:11 And as soon as we heard it, our hearts melted, and there was no spirit left in any man because of you, for the LORD your God, he is God in the heavens above and on the earth beneath.
JOS 2:12 NOW THEN, PLEASE SWEAR TO ME BY THE LORD THAT, AS I HAVE DEALT KINDLY WITH YOU, YOU ALSO WILL DEAL KINDLY WITH MY FATHER’S HOUSE, AND GIVE ME A SURE SIGN

“FOR WE HAVE HEARD HOW the LORD dried up the water of the Red”
12. For me to be unstoppable, the information I need to hear in advance for me to identify opportunities when they come – let me hear it and let me find it.
13. When others are sharing testimonies, I will not be a bystander nor will I be an onlooker. Give me my own testimony Lord!
14. Every new skill that I need to acquire, every new habit that I need to acquire to turn random opportunities to Gold – give me now!
15. Every negative behavior and temperamental manifestation like – pride, anger, arrogance that has been stopping me – I STOP THEM NOW IN THE NAME OF JESUS.

4. USE WHAT YOU HAVE TO NEGOTIATE YOUR FUTURE

Jos 2:12 Now then, please swear to me by the LORD that, as I have dealt kindly with you, you also will deal kindly with my father’s house, and give me a sure sign
Jos 2:13 that you will save alive my father and mother, my brothers and sisters, and all who belong to them, and deliver our lives from death.”
Jos 2:14 And the men said to her, “Our life for yours even to death! If you do not tell this business of ours, then when the LORD gives us the land we will deal kindly and faithfully with you.”

16. Lord, give me today an opportunity to discuss and negotiate matters about my future.
17. There is something I have left – friendship, gift, talent e.t.c that I can use to fast track my future. Father – let them not die, let them now be wasted.

“as I have dealt kindly with you, you also will deal kindly with my father’s house, and give me a sure sign “
18. FATHER, BRING TO REMEMBRANCE EVERY GOOD AND GREAT DEED I HAVE DONE AND USE IT AS A FOUNDATION FOR REWARDS AND RESULTS FOR ME!

5. WHEN THE OPPORTUNITY FINALLY COMES – GRAB IT, MAXIMIZE IT AND SEAL IT.

Jos 2:13 that you will save alive my father and mother, my brothers and sisters, and all who belong to them, and deliver our lives from death.”

Offer something. Bring something to the table.
Jos 2:15 Then she let them down by a rope through the window, for her house was built into the city wall, so that she lived in the wall.
Jos 2:16 And she said to them, “Go into the hills, or the pursuers will encounter you, and hide there three days until the pursuers have returned. Then afterward you may go your way.”

Get a commitment and get it written down and nailed in concrete.
Jos 2:12 Now then, please swear to me by the LORD that, as I have dealt kindly with you, you also will deal kindly with my father’s house, and give me a sure sign

Understand your part and what can make the opportunity fail
Jos 2:17 The men said to her, “We will be guiltless with respect to this oath of yours that you have made us swear.
Jos 2:18 Behold, when we come into the land, you shall tie this scarlet cord in the window through which you let us down, and you shall gather into your house your father and mother, your brothers, and all your father’s household.

19. Every spirit of confusion that does not allow a man to know and maximize when the opportunity come – I bind and cast you out of my life.
20. From today, surround me with people who will not only commit but will be willing to help me for the rest of my life!
21. The power and stronghold that make a man miss opportunities in life, I reject you in my life and that of my family.

6. EXPECT THE BEST AND PLAY YOUR PART

Jos 2:19 Then if anyone goes out of the doors of your house into the street, his blood shall be on his own head, and we shall be guiltless. But if a hand is laid on anyone who is with you in the house, his blood shall be on our head.
Jos 2:20 But if you tell this business of ours, then we shall be guiltless with respect to your oath that you have made us swear.”
Jos 2:21 And she said, “According to your words, so be it.” Then she sent them away, and they departed. And she tied the scarlet cord in the window.
Jos 2:22 They departed and went into the hills and remained there three days until the pursuers returned, and the pursuers searched all along the way and found nothing.

22. The spirit of hopelessness, the power of pessimism, the dam of confusion that makes a man believe that this next opportunity or opportunities will not work, I bind you and uproot you from my life permanently in Jesus name.

“And she said, “According to your words, so be it.”
23. Every promise that you have made men to give me that they have either failed to keep or their capacity to keep it has gone – REVIVE IT LORD AND VISIT ME!

7. TOMORROW WILL BE ALRIGHT!

Jas 2:23 This is what the Scriptures mean by saying, “Abraham had faith in God, and God was pleased with him.” That’s how Abraham became God’s friend.
Jas 2:24 You can now see that we please God by what we do and not only by what we believe.
Jas 2:25 For example, Rahab had been a prostitute. But she pleased God when she welcomed the spies and sent them home by another way.
Jas 2:26 Anyone who doesn’t breathe is dead, and faith that doesn’t do anything is just as dead!

See the genealogy of Jesus!
Mat 1:1 The book of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.
Mat 1:2 Abraham was the father of Isaac, and Isaac the father of Jacob, and Jacob the father of Judah and his brothers,
Mat 1:5 and Salmon the father OF BOAZ BY RAHAB, and Boaz the father of Obed by Ruth, and Obed the father of Jesse,
Mat 1:6 and Jesse the father of David the king. And David was the father of Solomon by the wife of Uriah,

24. Irrespective of my past – my tomorrow will be alright!

“Jas 2:26 Anyone who doesn’t breathe is dead, and faith that doesn’t do anything is just as dead! “
25. By faith, I decree action into my life, action to breathe into my career, action into my destiny!

LAST PRAYER POINT
26. AT THE END OF THE DAY, RAHAB ENDED WELL IRRESPECTIVE OF HER PAST STRUGGLES. I DECREE AND DECLARE, I WILL END WELL AND HAVE FULL AND COMPLETE TRANSFORMATION INTO DIVINE GLORY

FOR IN JESUS NAME WE HAVE PRAYED.
