BE STEADFASTLY MINDED!

Ruth 1:18 When she saw that she was stedfastly minded to go with her, then she left speaking unto her.

The story of the book of Ruth is a short one but so full of golden nuggets of truth. From our opening scripture, we see someone making a bold statement with lots of confidence. A lot has happened prior to this time. A man named Elimelech from the tribe of Judah left Bethlehem (house of bread) for the land of Moab due to famine. In a process of time he died; and later on his sons Mahlon and Chilion died also.

The only surviving member as at this time was the wife, Naomi. The implication of all this is that Naomi had lost everything. Upon hearing that God has visited His people in giving them bread, she decided to return home. Her two daughters in law, Ruth and Orpah decided to return with her.

Naomi knowing that there was nothing she could give to these poor widows insisted they stay in their homeland. They all pressed to go with her but she told them to go back. The Bible tells us that Orpah kissed her mother in law but Ruth clave unto her. These are her words:

GOD WILL BEAUTIFY YOU WITH SALVATION

GOD WILL BEAUTIFY YOU WITH SALVATION

Psalms 149:4 For the Lord taketh pleasure in his people: he will beautify the meek with salvation.

There are two important things in this scripture I want you to take notice of: firstly, the Lord takes pleasure in you; and secondly He will beautify the meek with salvation. What a joy to know that God takes pleasure in the new creation, the born again believer in Christ.

What does it mean when the Bible says God takes pleasure in us? It simply means He delights in us; we are His delight and joy. That means when God looks at you His masterpiece and handiwork, He is excited at what He has made.

It does not matter what you might have done in life, the truth is God delights in you because you are His own. This was made possible through the cross when Jesus died and gave His life for us. Now the scriptures call us beloved of God; you are God's beloved (Jude 1:20). You have to believe this truth irrespective of the sins you have committed. God foreknew your sins long ago, and yet He sent Jesus to come and die for you. Now we are accepted in the beloved.

OUR GIVING REVEALS GOD'S GENEROSITY

OUR GIVING REVEALS GOD'S GENEROSITY

Luke 6:38 Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.

You cannot out give God. And you do not lose by giving to God. God is our source and not man. All that we have today was given to us by God. What most believers don’t see when they give is God’s generosity. What do I mean by our giving reveals God’s generosity?

There is no farmer that planted a crop and reaped the same amount. What you harvest is always greater than what you sow. When we give to God, what we receive in return far outweighs what we gave; and that’s God’s generosity.

EVIDENCE OF GRACE

EVIDENCE OF GRACE

For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace. Romans 6:14 KJV

I heard of a disturbing news of how a leader of a fellowship on one of the campuses in the country, slept with several of the ladies in the fellowship. And his basis for doing that was because, as a new creation in Christ Jesus, sin does not affect your spirit. This guy is really sick and needs a mental check up; he truly lack the understanding of the grace gospel.

It is true that sin can’t affect the recreated human spirit. Your spirit has been perfected (Hebrews 10:14). But that shouldn’t be the basis for living a sinful lifestyle; rather it should be our springboard for victory. Most people don’t have the full revelation of scripture hence their misguided interpretation, which in turn affects the outcome of their lives, and thereby destroying them in the process.
