STEADFASTNESS OF A DETERMINED SOUL 
TEXT:  Ruth 1: 15-19
Key verse:  Ruth 1:16 And Ruth said, Intreat me not to leave thee, or to return 
from following after thee: for whither thou goest, I will go; and where thou lodgest,
 I will lodge: thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God:

The Bible tells us that Orpah went back to her gods! What kind of husband can her gods give her? 'Your sister in law has gone back unto her people and to her gods. Return thou after thy sister in law. To your people and your god.' Ruth said, “Intreat me not to leave thee, or to return from following after thee....” This is a lady whose eyes have opened. This is a lady that said, I have exchanged my people for your people. I have exchanged my God for your God. I have accepted Him. I believe in Him. You have shown God in your life. 
I will never leave you. Your people are the people of Promise. God made a covenant with Abraham over your people. I have come across someone that will take me among these people. Nothing but death will separate between me and you. Where you lodge I will be there, in fact, I am going to serve you in that place. Yes, where you will die and be buried. I will die after you and be buried there. May the Almighty Creator do evil to my life if I don't keep to the promise I have made. 
Dear friend, did God show you kindness? Did God give salvation? Did God give you deliverance? Did God show His goodness to you? Why have you not promised to serve Him? Why have you not spoken like Ruth? This God shall be my God, forever and ever. He will be my guide from now even to the end. Why don't you make that promise? Why are you trying to be careless? Oh, the people didn't treat me well, if you see the way the people treated me I don't like those people. Was Ruth treated well? Naomi was rather pushing her to go back? Was it Naomi or God who was testing Ruth? Ruth passed God's test. 

Thought for the day: For this God is my God forever and ever. 
Song for the day: For this God is my God, Forever and ever, He will be….
Bible reading for the day:  Lamentations 3-5; Hebrews 8

For taking your time to study remain blessed. August Tuesday 27th TOPIC: CORRECT WATER BAPTISM TEXT: Mark 16:15-16 KEY VERSE: Matthew 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. The believer requires water baptism. The baptism that Jesus commanded is in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. It is done by immersion in water because the three Persons are One. In Acts of the Apostles, the people were baptizing in the name of Jesus. They used the phrase “in the name of Jesus” to indicate that the baptism was carried out as authorized by Jesus, and the baptism authorized by Jesus is that which is done in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. It is not to say that they dip people in water and say, “I baptize you in the name of Jesus.” The name of Jesus cannot represent the Godhead. The Father is not Jesus, the Holy Spirit is not Jesus, Jesus is God who be
