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

Signs And Wonders Should Be According To Biblical Pattern

God's blessings shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. Signs And Wonders Should Be According To Biblical Pattern Text: Mark 16: 17 – 20 Wednesday May 8th Key verse: Obadiah 17 “Upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions.” God has prepared to direct us on holy service unto Himself. He tells us when the lives and services of people are corrupt because from the heart of men proceed the works they do. When people are righteous and holy, their service is also righteous and holy. Hence, the word says, make the people holy then their service will be holy, so if you accept to live a life of holiness, then the fruit of your service will be holy. So, it is very important to accept the life of holiness because the God that made you is holy; He will give you grace to be holy. You just make up your mind to be holy. Do not accept that no man can be holy; then Jesus came for nothing, Jes...

God’s Extra Effort In Restoring The Backslider

God's blessings shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. God’s Extra Effort In Restoring The Backslider  Sunday May 12th Text: Jeremiah 3: 15 – 17 Key verse: Ezekiel 33: 11 Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord God, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel.  Receive the word that will change you, restore you, reestablish you and give you back the hope of eternal life. Come back! The Lord is pleading. Can you see the effort of God in your life? And can you see madness in your life; resisting every effort God is making. God is calling you. Retrace your ways. Follow the good old way. Go and confess those things, do not keep them. Your problem is, you want to serve God but you have not confessed your sins openly because of shame, fear and  pride which shall be dissolved in hell. That is where your problem is. Yes, you wa...
