November Teaching Series: Women of God in the Holy Bible
Today’s Topic: Rahab – Faith That Changes Our Future
Scripture: Joshua 2:9–11 (KJV)
Verse 9: “And she said unto the men, I know that the LORD hath given you the land, and that your terror is fallen upon us, and that all the inhabitants of the land faint because of you.
Verse 10: For we have heard how the LORD dried up the water of the Red sea for you, when ye came out of Egypt; and what ye did unto the two kings of the Amorites, that were on the other side Jordan, Sihon and Og, whom ye utterly destroyed.
Verse 11: And as soon as we had heard these things, our hearts did melt, neither did there remain any more courage in any man, because of you: for the LORD your God, he is God in heaven above, and in earth beneath.”
TODAY’S REFLECTION: FAITH THAT CHANGES OUR FUTURE
The remarkable story of Rahab reminds us that our past does not have to determine our future when we place our faith and trust in Almighty God.
Rahab lived in the city of Jericho, a city facing destruction. Although she was not an Israelite and had lived a life that many would have considered unworthy, she recognized the power and authority of the living God.
When the Israelite spies entered Jericho, Rahab made a life-changing decision. Rather than allowing fear to control her actions, she chose to believe in the God of Israel. Her declaration in Joshua 2:11 reveals the depth of her faith: “for the LORD your God, he is God in heaven above, and in earth beneath.”
Rahab’s faith was not merely something she spoke about; it was demonstrated through her actions. She protected the spies and trusted that God would preserve her household.
Because of her faith, Rahab and her family were spared when Jericho was destroyed. Her story did not end with deliverance. God allowed Rahab to become part of the family lineage through which our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ would eventually be born, as recorded in Matthew 1:5.
What a powerful testimony of God’s grace, mercy, and redeeming love!
TODAY’S INSPIRATIONAL ENCOURAGEMENT
There are seasons in our lives when the challenges before us appear greater than the resources available to us. We may face financial hardships, family responsibilities, health concerns, employment uncertainties, or circumstances that seem impossible to overcome.
However, Rahab’s testimony teaches us that faith in God can change the direction of our future!
We must never underestimate what God can accomplish through one act of obedience, one sincere prayer, or one decision to trust Him completely.
Our circumstances may be difficult, but our God remains faithful.
Our resources may be limited, but God’s power is unlimited.
Our needs may be GREAT, but our God is GREATER!
The same God who delivered Rahab and preserved her household is able to sustain us, provide for our families, open doors of opportunity, restore what has been lost, and lead us into a brighter future according to His divine will.
Philippians 4:19 (KJV) declares:
“But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.”
Today, let us believe that God is still working on our behalf, even when we cannot see the evidence of His divine intervention.
Our faith today can become the testimony of our tomorrow!
TODAY’S PRAYER: LORD, MEET OUR GREAT NEEDS!
Our Most Gracious, Loving, and Heavenly Father,
We come before Your throne of grace this morning with humble hearts, thanksgiving, praise, and complete dependence upon You.
Heavenly Father, we acknowledge that You are the Creator of heaven and earth, the giver of life, the source of every good and perfect gift, and the One who possesses unlimited power to meet every need in our lives.
Lord, today we bring before You the needs of every member, follower, supporter, and family represented throughout Dockery Ministries.
Father, we acknowledge that our needs are GREAT!
Our financial needs are great. Our family responsibilities are great. Our physical, emotional, and spiritual needs are great. The burdens we carry, the obligations we must fulfill, and the challenges we face sometimes appear greater than our human ability to overcome them.
BUT LORD, WE TRUST AND BELIEVE THAT YOU CAN MEET THE GREAT NEED!
Father, we ask You to open the windows of heaven and pour out blessings according to Your perfect will.
Where there is financial hardship, provide sufficient resources.
Where there is unemployment, open doors to meaningful employment.
Where there is sickness, grant healing, strength, and restoration.
Where there is uncertainty, provide wisdom, clarity, and divine direction.
Where there is discouragement, restore hope, peace, and confidence in Your promises.
Where there are unpaid bills, overdue obligations, housing concerns, transportation needs, educational expenses, and family responsibilities, Father, we ask You to make a way.
Lord, remember every household connected to Dockery Ministries. Remember our children, our elderly, our disabled, our caregivers, our working families, our unemployed, and those who are struggling silently with burdens that only You know.
We ask that no legitimate need among us go unnoticed. Give us the wisdom to manage the resources You provide, the courage to remain faithful during difficult seasons, and the compassion to help others whenever we are able.
Just as You remembered Rahab and preserved her household, we ask You to remember our households today.
Father, increase our faith so that we will not become discouraged by the magnitude of our circumstances.
Help us to remember that nothing is too hard for You.
We declare our confidence in Your divine provision, not because of our own strength or righteousness, but because of Your unfailing love, abundant mercy, and everlasting faithfulness.
LORD, OUR NEEDS ARE GREAT, BUT WE BELIEVE THAT YOU ARE ABLE TO MEET EVERY GREAT NEED!
We surrender our concerns, our families, our finances, our futures, and our entire lives into Your capable hands.
We thank You in advance for hearing our prayers and for the ways You will provide according to Your divine wisdom and perfect timing.
In the mighty, matchless, and precious name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, we pray.
AMEN AND AMEN!

TODAY’S FAITH DECLARATION
“My past does not determine my future. My circumstances do not limit God’s power. My needs may be GREAT, but my God is GREATER! I will walk by faith, trust in His promises, and believe that He is able to meet every need in my life according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.”
MIZPAH BENEDICTION
Genesis 31:49 (KJV)
“And Mizpah; for he said, The LORD watch between me and thee, when we are absent one from another.”
May the Lord watch over us, protect our families, strengthen our faith, and supply our every need until we meet again.
May God bless you and keep you in His loving care!
