“7. And the women answered one another as they played, and said, Saul hath slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands.”

“8. And Saul was very wroth, and the saying displeased him; and he said, They have ascribed unto David ten thousands, and to me they have ascribed but thousands: and what can he have more but the kingdom?”

People’s words about you are their opinion, what you do with it, is your choice.

Welcome to this new week and Happy 1st Sunday of the Month. All things shall be possible for you this month. This week we are taking our study further to ‘Lessons from King Saul and David’. We all know how David became a part of King Saul’s Soldier by defeating Goliath. After the victory the women sang the praise of David saying, “Saul hath slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands” this triggered a thought in the heart of King Saul and he said, “They have ascribed unto David ten thousands, and to me they have ascribed but thousands: and what can he have more but the kingdom?” 

Brethren, what others think and say about you is their fact not the truth of who you are. Many times their words is to wake you up to your responsibilities not to get the bad side of you. It’s your decision to act or react on every words directed towards you. Saul couldn’t make the right choice after those words, he took it personal and reasoned beyond the saying of men, “and what can he have more but the kingdom?”.

As leaders, we should know that stones will be thrown at us severally at different times, so we should be able to listen and think rightly, better still, we turn to God who assigned us the assignment. King Saul got it all wrong by reacting to the saying of the women. People’s words is their opinion about you, what you do with what they say is your choice. Make a choice you can defend.

Good Day and God bless you.

“13. So Boaz took Ruth, and she was his wife: and when he went in unto her, the LORD gave her conception, and she bare a son.”

“14. And the women said unto Naomi, Blessed be the LORD, which hath not left thee this day without a kinsman, that his name may be famous in Israel.”

“15. And he shall be unto thee a restorer of thy life, and a nourisher of thine old age: for thy daughter in law, which loveth thee, which is better to thee than seven sons, hath born him.”

“16. And Naomi took the child, and laid it in her bosom, and became nurse unto it.”

I see God restoring your Joy, changing your situation and giving you everlasting testimonies in Jesus Mighty Name, Amen.

I welcome you to the last episode of the study, “Lessons From Naomi and Ruth”. It’s been a wonderful study and i know that God has ministered to us during these series, may His name be praise in Jesus name, Amen. 

Finally, the God of restoration rewarded Naomi by giving Ruth a home and a child. A hopeless situation turned to a generational blessing. Her determination to follow Naomi wasn’t in vain, this is to show that God rewards commitment and sacrifice. Ruth, who was unable to bear children in Moab became a mother in Bethlehem, her mother in-law became a grand mother of Obed. 

Brethren, nothing is impossible for God if we will pay the price and be determined to face every situation before us. There’s Joy in waiting on God, risking things and sacrificing for others.

The God that brought back the hope of Naomi will restore your hope. Ruth was as good as a maid when she followed Naomi but God gave her a home with Boaz and blessed her with Obed, that same God will visit your tattered situations and cause you to smile in Jesus name, Amen. Pay the price. Make the sacrifice. Take the risk and God will crown your effort.

Good Day and God bless you.

“1. Then Naomi her mother in law said unto her, My daughter, shall I not seek rest for thee, that it may be well with thee?”

“2. And now is not Boaz of our kindred, with whose maidens thou wast? Behold, he winnoweth barley to night in the threshing floor.”

“3. Wash thyself therefore, and anoint thee, and put thy raiment upon thee, and get thee down to the floor: but make not thyself known unto the man, until he shall have done eating and drinking.”

Everyone desires to be rewarded for their sacrifice of love not to be enslaved. 

How selfless are you in giving freedom to your servants? How far can you go to be kind enough to those who served you wholeheartedly? Ruth, a good and kind hearted daughter in-law, brought home what she had gleaned. Naomi was happy when she got to know Ruth worked in Boaz farm. She felt it’s time to allowed her have a home and gave her instructions on how to present herself to Boaz as a good wife to be. Most times, we refuse to release our good, faithful and useful servants or helpers. We find it difficult to let them have access to opportunities in order to keep them enslaved, that wasn’t the case with Naomi. She made sure she instructed Ruth and succeeded in making her a wife to Boaz. 

If you are not freed from where you served, you can’t be a leader. Even if you were enslaved you don’t need to do the same to others, do what is right, give people opportunities to be on their own. Show them how to fish and stop giving them fish, it will always add honour to your life like Naomi did. Naomi was willing to let Ruth have her home despite being the only helper she has, you can do the same by rewarding them awesomely.

Good Day and God bless you.

“14. And Boaz said unto her, At mealtime come thou hither, and eat of the bread, and dip thy morsel in the vinegar. And she sat beside the reapers: and he reached her parched corn, and she did eat, and was sufficed, and left.”

“15. And when she was risen up to glean, Boaz commanded his young men, saying, Let her glean even among the sheaves, and reproach her not:”

“16. And let fall also some of the handfuls of purpose for her, and leave them, that she may glean them, and rebuke her not.”

“Your new season is attached to your consistent attitude and habit.”

Brethren, the change we need and long for is attached to our consistent habit and attitude towards strangers and others that comes our way. Let me start with this, Abraham’s consistent attitude and habit was what activated the birth of Isaac, Genesis 18. His attitude of hospitality prompted him to invite the three strangers into his home and fed them not knowing it was his final test to activate Isaac. The shunamite woman’s consistent attitude was what played out when she invited Prophet Elisha to have a meal with her household consistently and also built him a place to relax whenever he passes by, 2nd Kings 4:8-37. Our consistent habit is the link between our now and the change to come our ways. Acts 5:1-10 talked about the story of Ananias and Sapphira, their consistent habit of untruthfulness played out publicly which led to their death. 

Here, we saw how Ruth showed her consistent habit of appreciation to the favour bestowed on her by Boaz not knowing it was the begining of the change they’ve been waiting for. Having shown her attitude of gratitude, Boaz extended favour to her to dine with him, an access to enjoy more harvest. What’s your consistent habit; nagging, fighting, cheating, helping, hospitality, looking down on others? It’s the link between you and where you desire to be. Do away with those habit that can hinder you from enjoying the good plans of God for your life. Seasons are attached to our consistent habit.

Good Day and God bless you.

“13 “I hope I continue to please you, sir,” she replied. “You have comforted me by speaking so kindly to me, even though I am not one of your workers.”

WELCOME TO MAY, OUR MONTH OF POSSIBILITIES.

No matter how qualified you are for a favour, learn to show appreciation because it unravels the unknown favour.”

Boaz, a kindred of Elimelach, praise Ruth’s for her attitude and behaviour towards her mother in-law. He elongated how she left her family to be with Naomi and cared for her. These are the reasons he couldn’t send her away from his field. Despite all these accolades, Ruth never praised herself but showed appreciation for noticing her and even prayed to continue enjoying more favour from Boaz. Ruth requested for more favour instead of praising herself. She couldn’t hide her feelings from Boaz but revealed her desire to enjoy of his favour.

How appreciatives are you when you enjoy underserved favour? Do you feel too big to show appreciation or you are down to earth with gratitude? Many believers even find it difficult to be grateful to God for His mercy and favour upon their lives how much more will they show gratitude to men? Our show of gratitude opens the door to more favour and kindness. 

How grateful are you to your spouse or you claim, “it’s his/her duty I don’t need to give more accolades”. Do you always see people’s gesture of love towards you as little? Unappreciated favour is unrepeated favour. It’s time to be grateful for all the love showered on you by everyone, even to your children as a parent. Stop taking gratitude lightly, show appreciation even when it’s not up to your expectation remember, you never paid for it. Be a grateful person for every love you received, it’s opens the door for more.

Good Day and God bless you.

“12. The LORD recompense thy work, and a full reward be given thee of the LORD God of Israel, under whose wings thou art come to trust.”

It’s the last day of the month, to God be the Glory for His presence around us throughout, may His name alone be praise forevermore, Amen. 

My charge for us this morning is this, Are you receiving blessings or curse? Do men freely releases blessings on you or avoids speaking of you? Blessing is provoked likewise, curse is provoked. When your impact is felt even people who knew you not nor benefited from your act will bless you knowingly and unknowingly. 

I remember an instance over twenty years while living in Lagos state, Nigeria. A little boy was playing his ball in a place close to an opened suck away. His ball ended up in a suck away and the little boy jumped along to retrieve it. I came in at the right time seeing the boy floating in the suck away, then I did all that’s in my power to rescue him while others were watching and shouting. After that scene, it was rain of prayers on me coincidentally, his father was a Pastor. Everyone around releases one blessings and the other on me. When your presence and contribution is felt it attracts blessing, when it’s a thorn in other’s flesh it attracts curse or rejection. What are you attracting, blessings or curse? It may be time to check your ways and your life. It may be the last opportunity you have to be a new person. Boaz rained blessings on Ruth because of her contribution to Elimelach’s family. What do people release on you? It’s time to think.

Good Day and God bless you.

“8. Then said Boaz unto Ruth, Hearest thou not, my daughter? Go not to glean in another field, neither go from hence, but abide here fast by my maidens:”

“9. Let thine eyes be on the field that they do reap, and go thou after them: have I not charged the young men that they shall not touch thee? and when thou art athirst, go unto the vessels, and drink of that which the young men have drawn.”

“10. Then she fell on her face, and bowed herself to the ground, and said unto him, Why have I found grace in thine eyes, that thou shouldest take knowledge of me, seeing I am a stranger?”

“11. And Boaz answered and said unto her, It hath fully been shewed me, all that thou hast done unto thy mother in law since the death of thine husband: and how thou hast left thy father and thy mother, and the land of thy nativity, and art come unto a people which thou knewest not heretofore.”

Your efforts, sacrifices and contributions are known and will be rewarded in Full.

Like I said early last week in one of my teachings, your sacrifices will be rewarded, it can’t be overlooked or forgotten. I will say that again, many are watching that will soon speak to someone about you, don’t be discourage when you can’t see the reward of your labour, keep spreading your seeds till the harvest come. Many may be trolling you, reproaching and mocking your efforts, close your eye to them, someone is somewhere watching and ready to reward you. Your diligence, hard work and consistency are recorded, don’t quit till the rewarder will come.

Boaz called Ruth and explained to her about all he has heard and seen about her before coming to his farm. He’s been hearing of her sacrifices and the help rendered to Naomi way back from Moab and now she’s proving it again and again by fending for her. Keep doing your best to be of help because you don’t know the day of your visitation. Your impact speaks ahead of your presence, her person was already known to Boaz before he met her in his farm. Your attitude, diligence, effort and kindness speaks ahead of you don’t quit being good, don’t quit being helpful and Influencing others because God has ordained someone to reward you. And I pray today, the grace, strength and enablement to keep the fire on will rest on you in Jesus name, Amen. In that marriage, ministry, workplace, and over those situations, don’t be discouraged because God has arranged someone to lift that burden off you, it will soon be a reality in Jesus name, Amen.

Good Day and God bless you.

“5. Then said Boaz unto his servant that was set over the reapers, Whose damsel is this?”

“6. And the servant that was set over the reapers answered and said, It is the Moabitish damsel that came back with Naomi out of the country of Moab:”

“7. And she said, I pray you, let me glean and gather after the reapers among the sheaves: so she came, and hath continued even from the morning until now, that she tarried a little in the house.”

Beloved of God, Happy Sunday to you all. This Week shall speak well for us in Jesus Name, Amen.

Ruth, being the stranger with different stories was noticed by all in Bethlehem. Her diligence, attitude and sacrifice was known, even the foreman of Boaz couldn’t resist helping her. Boaz came to check on his business and found a stranger working zealously to the extent of noticing her present. It was as if she worked harder than the other women who had been working in his farm before then. He was forced to inquire about her, why? She was noticed because of her activeness. 

You know, many civil servants dodged responsibility in places of work to the extent that their absence is never noticed or relevant. They are always coming with one excuse or the other to avoide being active. Whereby some will be seen as “Oga pikin”, meaning, “The Boss Children” just because they are more active and always available for any assignments. They tend to enjoy favour more than others in place of work and elsewhere, which side do you belong, the Noticed for activeness or Noticed for laziness? When you’re around is your presence relevant or not? Do you carry out every assignment directed to you or you give excuses why you can’t do them? Ruth was noticed by her activeness not idleness. Think on where you belong and take the necessary step to be noticed. When you are noticed favour isn’t far from you.

Good Day and God bless you.

“3. And she went, and came, and gleaned in the field after the reapers: and her hap was to light on a part of the field belonging unto Boaz, who was of the kindred of Elimelech.”

Divine Direction is linked to our personality and diligence.

Yesterday, we discussed about Ruth’s diligence, she wasn’t familiar to the terrain but decided to go look for something to do in order to take care of the family. Today, our focus is shifting to how she was led to the right place to glean on her first day on duty, this is God in action. When you diligently do God’s will He divinely leads your path accordingly. Ruth enjoyed divine direction by going into the farm of someone who was their relative, wealthy and a good person and finally showed her favour. Divine favour is worked for you don’t just earn it. Let’s take a thought backward, if she had stayed back in Moab will she be connected to this favour? The answer is No. When we sacrifice for others on behalf of the Lord He rewards us beyond our expectations. She walked in to the farm of Boaz, a soon to be husband to her.

Our attitude to life and human is a link to what we are going through and experiencing at the present. Our commitment to serve and follow others has a way to open the doors of unexpected favour to us. Sometimes the risk or sacrifice seems like a waste but take it and move on. Divine direction is always attached to an attribute. Remember the servant of Abraham in Genesis 24, who went on a mission to get Isaac a wife, he learned how to pray from Abraham whom he has served for years and did the same and Divine direction was the result. Yes, you’ve sacrificed for many but it turned out to be a regret, that’s not the reason to stop helping, sacrificing or taking risk, do to someone else and that may open you up to Divine Direction. Ruth sacrificed all by leaving Moab to follow the God of Naomi and He gave her Divine Direction, may your services opens you up for Divine Direction in Jesus name, Amen. Keep serving and be on the look out for your reward.

Good Day and God bless you.

“1. And Naomi had a kinsman of her husband’s, a mighty man of wealth, of the family of Elimelech; and his name was Boaz.”

“2. And Ruth the Moabitess said unto Naomi, Let me now go to the field, and glean ears of corn after him in whose sight I shall find grace. And she said unto her, Go, my daughter.”

“God does not bless a lazy hands, for an idle hand is a workshop of the devil. Be diligent.”

We all know that Naomi was an old woman by this time and she can’t do much for her living. Ruth was young and active but she knows no where she can turn to because she was new to the city but because of her diligence she seek for the survival of both of them by telling her mother-in-law, 

“Let me now go to the field, and glean ears of corn after him in whose sight I shall find grace.”

She neither ask for where to go or wait for her to instruct her on what to do, she acted and went in search of their survival. Are you that man or woman, lady or guy waiting for manna to fall from heaven without doing anything? That’s laziness, good fortune doesn’t follow those who never dare to do something with their lives. Ruth would have given an excuse of being a visitor, a Moabite among the Hebrews. She would have asked the woman to direct her or introduced her to someone but Instead, she went out to search for where to earn for their survival. Stop waiting for empty promises, stop praying inside the room without going out in search for job. Stop waiting for someone to introduce you to someone, go out there and search for what to do. Diligence is all about “responding to your ability” – Responsibility. Search for something to lay your hands on. Remember the book of proverbs, 22:29, which says, 

“29. Seest thou a man diligent in his business? he shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before mean men.”

Diligency announces a man not idleness. Get up and find something to do. If job is not visible, get a hand work to learn, go for a seller rep, make something out to sell, you can’t continue to wait for someone who has forgotten your existence. Start a small business till you get what you desire. Be diligent in something.

Good Day and God bless you.
