BUNDLES ON PURPOSE

Text : Ruth 2:16

And pull out some heads of barley from the bundles and drop them on purpose for her. Let her pick them up, and don’t give her a hard time!”

 God commanded the Israelites that ".... when you reap the harvest of your land, you shall not wholly reap the corners of thy field, neither shall you gather the gleanings of your harvest.And thou shall not glean your vineyard, neither shall you gather every grape of you vineyard; you shall leave them for the poor and stranger: I am the LORD your God" (Lev. 19:9-10)

This command was given by God to allow the poor and strangers have some remnants to glean after the harvest. 

Gleanings are the fallen ears(drop off from the main harvest). Gleanings are mere remnant that the land onwer(farmer) can afford to let go. 

When Ruth came back with her mother in-law to Israel, she will go to Boaz's farm to glean. 

Unknown to her, Boaz had instructed his servants to allow Ruth to glean from the very sheaves and not just the remnants.

 In the same vein, the Lord will be commanding His angels to drop tangible blessings on your path this year.

As Ruth was following the harvesters with the mind of gathering all the fallen ears, she suddenly realised they are dropping bundle(sheaves) on Purpose. 

Jesus mentioned this in John 4:38. I sent you to harvest where you didn’t plant; others had already done the work, and now you will get to gather the harvest.

This was the experience of Ruth. She harvested where she has not planted. 

You must be prepared to receive all that the Lord will be dropping for you on Purpose. Do not forget that when those blessings come your way, they are on purpose. Boaz commanded they drop sheaves on purpose for Ruth because of Naomi. Every blessing God will bring your way is for the sake of Jesus. Hence, it must be presented back to Him.

So Ruth gathered barley there all day, and when she beat out the grain that evening, it filled an entire basket.She carried it back into town and showed it to her mother-in-law. Ruth also gave her the roasted grain that was left over from her meal. Ruth 2:17-18

When the blessing comes, please do not forget to present them to God in thanksgiving. You must also learn to give thanks and appreciation to the vessel God has used for you.

Great Blessings will be dropping on your laps this year. But do not forget to always trace the source of the blessings. Simply return to show appreciation in the spirit of humility.

 *EXPECT BUNDLE ON PURPOSE THIS YEAR!!* 

 *PRAYER FOCUS:* 

1.Pray that God will divinely link you to the right fields and people to work with this year.

 2. Pray that God will help you to follow all the instructions He will be giving you directly and through authorities He has placed over you.

3. Pray for right heart and attitude of appreciation.

THE GOOD FIGHT-2

Text:  1 Timothy  6:12   Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. Another thing to pursue in fighting the good fight of faith is Godliness. We understand through the Holy scriptures that godliness is profitable unto all things.   *For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.* 1 Timothy  4:8.  You will reap the reward of your godliness not only when you get to heaven, but from here on earth. And this is why we are admonished to exercise ourselves unto godliness. (1 Timothy  4:7), because godliness with contentment is great gain.1 Timothy  6:6. Godliness is the practice of conforming to the image of God by reflecting the nature of the kingdom of God in the course of everyday life. In other words, godliness is living and portray...

WAY MAKER-2

Text: Isaiah 43:19 Behold, I will do a new thing: now it shall spring forth: shall ye not know it?  I will even make a way in the wilderness,  and rivers in the desert. God promised that He will do a new thing for you, and that He will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. He has done this before, and He will do it again even in your own life.  When the children of Israel left Egypt, the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them, encamping by the sea, beside Pihahiroth, before Baalzephon.(Exodus 14:9). Just like anyone would react, the Isrealites became so fearful because there is neither way forward nor back for them to escape. Before them was the red sea, behind them were the Egyptian armies. They became perplexed and began to murmur against Moses. It is possible you are also in a situation like the Israelites- No way forward, and no way behind. Things may appear like you are ...

HIS VOICE- 2

Text : John 10:3. To him the porter opens; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calls his own sheep by name, and leads them out. We established yesterday that one thing you can't joke with as a true follower of Christ is *His Voice.* You must recognise and hearken to (obey) His voice. It is in doing this that your safety is assured.  Today, we want to see another responsibility of the Shepherd over His sheep.  To him the porter opens; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calls his own sheep by name, *and leads them out.* John 10:3.  He called you, that He might lead you. It is not enough for you to hear or recognise His Voice, you must allow Him to lead you as well.  Romans 8:14 says *For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.*   The Spirit leading you determines the family you belong to. Basically,  there are only two families in this world - the family of God, and the family of satan. In other words, we can say the Kingdom...
