BIBLE TEXT: "By faith the harlot Rahab perished not with them that believed not, when she had received the spies with peace" (Hebrews 11:31).
A stigma refers to attitudes and beliefs that lead people to reject, avoid, or fear those they perceive as socially unacceptable. It is a symbol of disgrace or infamy. Nicky vigjcy, has no limbs and hands, yet is an Evangelist and a motivational speaker. He overcame his limitations and lives such an amazing life. Rahab was a woman of abandoned character. As a harlot, she belonged to a low class of human beings that many would not want to be associated with. Her strong faith in God made her to risk her life in protecting Israeli spies. Her action of faith paid off when the Israeli soldiers invaded Jericho to destroy the city and she was spared along with her entire family. Rahab later became an ancestoress of Jesus.
Are you ashamed or humiliated by anything in your life? Nothing should frustrate your goal in life. You can still be fulfilled in life whatever your shortcomings or background. Be born again and give your stigma to Jesus. He turns sorrows into joy.
