.....::::: LIVE LIKE JESUS CHRIST :::::.....

Some of us see Jesus as what He truly is; God, the human representation of God on earth and even their personal Savior. But what if I told you that this God was at the same time a Man but a humble one at that? He was willing to give up His rights in order to obey God and serve people. Like Christ, we should adopt a servant-like attitude, serving out of love for God and others. But my question is when did it become about US? We often turn a blind eye to our very own selfishness, pride, or evil by claiming they are our "rights". For example, some think they can cheat on a test because they deserve to pass, or spend all their money because they worked hard for it. Or even worse, get an abortion because they have the right to control their own body. FALSE! If we say we are disciples of Jesus Christ, we must also say we want to live like Him! Are you selfishly clinging to your rights, or are you willing to serve? You have the choice: approach life expecting to be served or look for opportunities to serve others. Please let that sink in....

Philippians 2:3-7 "Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others. In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage; rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness."

.....::::: A PROSTITUTE NAMED RAHAB :::::.....

Shocking that I'd mention a prostitute right? Well Rahab was a prostitute in the city of Jericho. Being a prostitute, she lived on the edge of society, one stop short of rejection. Her house was built right into the city wall. It provided lodging and favors to travelers. It was a natural place for the Israelites to stay and be mistaken for her customers.

The Israelites were about to invade Jericho and this worried Rahab. Yes she was afraid but she turned to the Lord for salvation. Her faith gave her the courage to hide the Israelite spies. Though her position was not favorable, she took the risk.
God often uses people with simple faith to accomplish His great purpose, no matter what kind of past they have had  - like Rahab - whom we are inclined to reject. God remembers her because of her faith and not her profession. If you ever feel like a failure, remember that Rahab didn't allow her past to keep her from the new role God had for her. Think all the more He can do with you!!!

Joshua 2:1 - "Then Joshua son of Nun secretly sent two spies from Shittim. “Go, look over the land,” he said, “especially Jericho.” So they went and entered the house of a prostitute named Rahab and stayed there."
