The Lord was with Joshua

Joshua 6:22-27
So the young men who had done the spying went in and brought out Rahab, her father and mother, her brothers and sisters and all who belonged to her. They brought out her entire family and put them in a place outside the camp of Israel.
Then they burned the whole city and everything in it, but they put the silver and gold and the articles of bronze and iron into the treasury of the Lord’s house. 
So the Lord was with Joshua, and his fame(reputation) spread throughout the land.
Why?
Anyone will be famous and blessed when the Lord is with him.
Joshua kept the promise and saved the whole family of Rahab. Except Rahab the whole city of Jericho was destroyed.
The city of Jericho has an incredibly long history of building and destruction.
The curse: The mound lay in ruins for 400 years, until Ahab's reign. Then Hiel rebuilt Jericho - and fell heir to the curse. (1 Kings 16:34)
How?
Keep follow the way of God for Jesus Christ is the fountain of blessing.
