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

Them That Sin, Rebuke Before All

God's blessing shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. Them That Sin, Rebuke Before All   Monday 24th March Text: 1 Timothy 5: 19-22 Key verse: Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear. 1 Timothy 5:20 God wants you to avoid doing evil while saying you want to go to heaven. You may be a member of a worldly church and be saying, “It is my tribal church; if I leave them, they will be angry. I do not want them to be angry.” Is it God you want to make angry by your compromise? You will see the anger of God indeed. It is through the word that you perfect the people, and as a result, the Bible says, “Thou shalt not suffer sin upon your brother. Thou shall reprove him.” Your brother or sister has done a bad thing, and you do not bother. You leave them in their sins. They may do the same to other people. The Lord says, “Correct them.” Do not allow sin to be in them because sin will take them to hell. The Bible says, “Them that sin, rebuke befo...

The Testimony Of Jesus Is Spirit Of Prophecy.

God's blessings will continually accompany you for dedicating time to your studies. The Testimony Of Jesus Is Spirit Of Prophecy.  Monday 10th November  Text: Jude 1: 2-5 Key verse: Jude 1: 3 Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints. The faith of Jesus has already been delivered and it is written in the scriptures. Whatever prophecies, revelations or dreams that comes must not be contrary to the standard in the scripture. They must speak the same thing. The testimony of Jesus is spirit of prophecy. Every prophecy or revelation must honour Jesus and must be according to the written word. Even where they are new things, they must not contradict because the Bible is a summary of the things Jesus did. The Bible cannot contain all things. It must be according to what the scripture has already signified, ...
