RUTH: BIBLICAL EXAMPLE OF A VIRTUOUS WOMAN MONDAY MARCH 12
TEXT: RUTH 1: 7-19
Key verse: “And Ruth said, Entreat 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:” Ruth 1: 16
There are many accounts of virtuous women in the scriptures. But in this study we shall consider the life of Ruth and study the virtuous qualities of her life: (a). She cleaved to the God of Israel and forsook the gods of her people. She loved God and received a new heart from Him. The love she exhibited for God and those around her showed clearly that she was born again. Ruth 2:12. (b). She sought fellowship with the righteous and never allowed the sweetly godly fellowship to cease for a moment. (c). She forsook material things in worship and commitment to God. These include the following; Idols of her land; her friendship with Orpah; the possibility of getting married; The possibility of having children; Union with her family members. (d). She was impressively humble in her speech and actions. She was really ornamented with a meek and quiet spirit, which before God was of great delight (e). She was pure and holy in her relationship with all the people to the point that the whole city knew about her. Ruth 3:11. (f). She was selfless, industrious and caring. She laboured to feed and care for her mother in-law. She never sat at home idle, but sought for work and gave herself to hard work to take care of herself and her mother in-law. (g). When the issue of marriage to Boaz came in, she treated it with all purity.
Ruth was rewarded by God for her commitment to righteousness and holiness. She was truly a virtuous woman according to the scripture. The people around her called her virtuous because of the character she exhibited. Naomi, Boaz and the people around her praised her for her virtuous character. She obtained favour in the sight of God and men and was fully rewarded. She got married according to God's gracious work in her life and her marriage was to a highly favoured man called Boaz. Ruth who did not give birth in her first marriage was now blessed with a child who became one of the great men in Israel by name Obed. Her commitment and holiness brought her into the genealogy of Jesus as one of the great grandmothers of Jesus on earth! Know that there is great reward for holding fast to your faith in Christ and for righteous and holy living in this world. Great rewards await you on earth and in heaven if you continue steadfastly to the end despite temptations and trials on your way.
Thought for the day: Ruth was rewarded by God for her commitment to righteousness and holiness
Song for the day: Great is the Lord and greatly to be praised
Bible reading for the day:
Deuteronomy 17-19; Mark 14:1-25

UNDERSTANDING ETERNITY WEDNESDAY MAY 10 TEXT: Psalm 90: 1 - 2 Key Verse: “The Lord is King forever and ever: the heathen are perished out of his land Psalm 10:16 People that understand eternity are always careful. Eternity means forever and ever, it means ever-lasting, ever-living, never dying. Trillion upon trillion years, eternity is still on, in fact it is life without end. There are two extreme ends of eternity: The kingdom of God called third heaven where God the Father, God the son, God the Holy Ghost, twenty-four elders, saints of God that make heaven, holy angels of God, and entire host of heaven dwell now presently; Hell-fire, where Satan, demons, and sinners that have died in their sins are presently kept. God is the One that introduced eternity. He lives forever. It is not a choice, the One who created us is forever, hence you will live forever, but what matters is where you will live eternally. Remove God from the way, then t...

TOPIC: HOW TO BE SANCTIFIED (PART 2)

HOLINESS REVIVAL MOVEMENT WORLDWIDE HOREMOW DAILY DEVOTIONAL BY PASTOR PAUL RIKA INTERNATIONAL DIRECTOR. DATE: FRIDAY JULY 17, 2026. TOPIC: HOW TO BE SANCTIFIED (PART 2) TEXT: HEBREWS 11:1-6 1. Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. 2. For by it the elders obtained a good report. 3. Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear. 4. By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh. 5. By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God. 6. But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligent...
