TOPIC – Heroes Of Faith: Rahab (Mountain Of Fire and Miracle Ministries, MFM Devotional 9 September 2026)
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Isaiah 23, Isaiah 24, Mark 5, Mark 6.
FIRE SCRIPTURE: Joshua 2:1-21 (KJV)
1 And Joshua the son of Nun sent out of Shittim two men to spy secretly, saying, Go view the land, even Jericho. And they went, and came into an harlot’s house, named Rahab, and lodged there.
2 And it was told the king of Jericho, saying, Behold, there came men in hither to night of the children of Israel to search out the country.
3 And the king of Jericho sent unto Rahab, saying, Bring forth the men that are come to thee, which are entered into thine house: for they be come to search out all the country.
4 And the woman took the two men, and hid them, and said thus, There came men unto me, but I wist not whence they were:
5 And it came to pass about the time of shutting of the gate, when it was dark, that the men went out: whither the men went I wot not: pursue after them quickly; for ye shall overtake them.
6 But she had brought them up to the roof of the house, and hid them with the stalks of flax, which she had laid in order upon the roof.
7 And the men pursued after them the way to Jordan unto the fords: and as soon as they which pursued after them were gone out, they shut the gate.
8 And before they were laid down, she came up unto them upon the roof;
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.
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.
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.
12 Now therefore, I pray you, swear unto me by the Lord, since I have shewed you kindness, that ye will also shew kindness unto my father’s house, and give me a true token:
13 And that ye will save alive my father, and my mother, and my brethren, and my sisters, and all that they have, and deliver our lives from death.
14 And the men answered her, Our life for yours, if ye utter not this our business. And it shall be, when the Lord hath given us the land, that we will deal kindly and truly with thee.
15 Then she let them down by a cord through the window: for her house was upon the town wall, and she dwelt upon the wall.
16 And she said unto them, Get you to the mountain, lest the pursuers meet you; and hide yourselves there three days, until the pursuers be returned: and afterward may ye go your way.
17 And the men said unto her, We will be blameless of this thine oath which thou hast made us swear.
18 Behold, when we come into the land, thou shalt bind this line of scarlet thread in the window which thou didst let us down by: and thou shalt bring thy father, and thy mother, and thy brethren, and all thy father’s household, home unto thee.
19 And it shall be, that whosoever shall go out of the doors of thy house into the street, his blood shall be upon his head, and we will be guiltless: and whosoever shall be with thee in the house, his blood shall be on our head, if any hand be upon him.
20 And if thou utter this our business, then we will be quit of thine oath which thou hast made us to swear.
21 And she said, According unto your words, so be it. And she sent them away, and they departed: and she bound the scarlet line in the window.
MEMORY VERSE: By faith the harlot Rahab perished not with them that believed not, when she had received the spies with peace. – Hebrews 11:31 (KJV)
MOTIVATIONAL QUOTES: The walk of faith can be lonely and seem foolish, but it yields great dividends.
PRAISE AND WORSHIP: Take praise and worship songs as led by the Holy Spirit.
PROPHETIC WORD FOR TODAY: Today, may you receive faith that is unafraid, in the Name of Jesus.
MFM Devotional For Today 2026 MESSAGE:
Today, we look at Rahab. The Bible describes her as a harlot living on the city wall. The city wall must have been a good place for business; she could easily target travellers for her trade. Also, living on the city wall meant she had access to information more quickly than those living in the city. This woman had heard of the mighty deeds of the God of Israel and her response was faith in Him.
While the king of Jericho and his advisers were looking for ways to arrest the situation of the Israelites, she knew they were fighting a lost cause. She knew that the God who could part the Red Sea would not have any trouble penetrating the city wall of Jericho.

Hebrews 11 tells us that Rahab hid those spies by faith. From her, we learn brazen faith, faith that is unafraid. She risked her life for what she believed to be the truth. She could have been killed for treason because she was protecting the enemies of the state. But she knew better; she knew that Yahweh was more powerful than the state.
Despite her flawed lifestyle, she was willing to submit to the God of Israel. God did not reject her because she was unclean; He accepted her and made her part of His people. She also dragged her entire family with her. In the same vein, God will not reject anyone who is willing to forsake his or her old lifestyle and accept His free gift of salvation through Jesus Christ (John 6:37).
Rahab, according to James 2:25, proved her faith by her works. Hiding the spies and making an agreement with them was proof of her faith. What are you doing to prove your faith in Jesus Christ? Learn from Rahab today. Protect the servants of God; there are blessings attached.
In the end, Rahab’s faith paid off. Not only was she grafted into the family of God, she also became an ancestress of our Lord Jesus Christ (Matthew 1:5).
