By faith Rahab initiated a vow that gave her god’s honor and glory Joshua 2nd chapter illustrates the strength of a vow. Rahab the prostitute knew Jericho was going to be destroyed. She knew the same God who dried up the Red Sea would also defend Israel against Jericho. Rahab hid Israel’s two spies on her own, without even having a covenant with them. When the king of Jericho’s men questioned Rahab, she sent them on a wild goose chase to save the spies’ lives. Armed with proof that a covenant with Israel was in order, she approached the spies to exchange vows. In other words, I spared your life, now spare me and my father’s house; give me a “true token” which it the evidence you will keep your word. Rahab swore to remain silent about the spies’ mission and they in turn swore to spare her and her family’s life and give them favor. The token was to bind the scarlet cord in her window so when Israel invaded the land, the contract on her life was cancelled. Her successful appeal removed her name from death row. Everything subject to death was replaced with eternal life. Rahab was not only spared, but honored for her faith in the “Heroes Hall of Faith” in Hebrews 11:31 as well as favored to be in the lineage of Jesus Christ as Boaz’s mother in Matthew 1:5. Rehab had evidence at her disposal to receive abundant life, but so do we. The blood of Jesus Christ is the miracle that supernaturally disannuls any covenant with premature death. Psalms 103:2-5 pledges God to forgive all our iniquities, heal all our diseases, crown us with loving kindness and tender mercies, redeem our lives from destruction and satisfy our mouths with good things [words] so our youth is renewed like the eagles [strong, soaring, and overcoming, The Amplified]. Learn to always trust in Jesus’ Blood!
