THEME: THE WALLS OF JERICHO MUST FALL
TITLE: AM ONE OF THEM
Joshua 6:17-25
- Jericho was a city which was self sufficient meaning it had good land, soil, water.
- The walls of Jericho were built because;
* They wanted to protect what they had
* It was acting as a protection from the attacks of their enemies
- When the isrealites wanted to attack the city of Jericho, they sent spies.
- The people of Jericho knew that there city was invaded
- The people of Jericho started looking for the spies that had invaded there city
- So the spies found Rahab the pr******te and asked her to hid them in her house
- When the spies where about to leave Jericho, Rahab recognised that she wasn't different from the people of Jericho
- The people of Jericho used to live in sin and Rahab was a pr******te
- She asked for one request that is to be spared with her family when the time comes for the City of Jericho to be attacked
- When the walls of Jericho were destroyed Rahab and her family were spared.
- Rahab the pr******te is in the linage of Jesus Christ.
- When God wants to elevate you, He will destroy the human system that you depend on.
- Jericho had a system, they depended on the walls,fertile land, good water, good soil.
- Rahab depended on Jericho's system.
-When God wants to elevate you he will first of all destroy the human system that you are used to in order for him to manifest his power in your life
- We are all coming from different backgrounds full of curses, full of systems Therefore our cry should be for God to Remember us
- Some people depend on their jobs, wealth, marriages, witch doctors etc
- If God isn't involved in our lives then whatever that we depend on is useless
- Just like Rahab depended upon the broken system of Jericho and she cried for mercy from the spies, we also depend upon the broken system of this world
- Our duty is to cry for Mercy from our God so that we can also be spared from the eternal Judgment
2 Corinthians 5:17
[17]Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
1 John 1:8
[8]If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
- Be imitators of Christ.
1 John 1:9
[9]If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
- Forget the past
James 4:8
[8]Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.
- Grow in the things of God.
