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 portraying the nature of God here on earth.  2 Peter  1:

PRAYING MEN

Text : 1Timothy 2:8. I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting. God gave explicit instructions to all of His children as to how we must live our lives. Some of these instructions cut across boards, of which all of God's children must obey. However, there are some instructions that are specific to gender or portfolios. We we'll be looking at some of these instructions today.  *THE MEN* From our text, there are two distinct responsibilities God wants men to undertake, and the two are intertwined. First, God wants men to pray. The word  'men' as used in our text is not generic as to mean all human beings. It is specifically requesting that all men should pray. Yes, God expects every of His children to pray, but He specifically called men out here.  A number of times,  when prayer meetings are called, the proportion of women in attendance always outnumbered men. This is because the devil knows the import of praying men.

BE CALM & LISTEN-3

Text: 1 Kings 19:12 "...and after the earthquake a fire, [but] the LORD [was] not in the fire; and after the fire a still small voice" Prophet Elijah fled after he received the life threatening message from Jezebel, the wife of King Ahab, because he didn't keep himself calm before the Lord.  *Endeavouring to listen to God in difficult times is a major prerequisite to your deliverance.*  Are you faced with a life threatening situation like Prophet Elijah, the first and most important thing you need to do is: "Set yourself before the Lord for His still small voice."  *"You will be saved from many unwarranted troubles if only you will always maintain your calm before the Lord and listen to Him."*  After Prophet Elijah heard the still small voice, then the Lord asked him, "What are you doing here?" This question shows that Prophet Elijah had left his rightful location and God-given assignment.  The windstorm he saw, revealed that he has been blow
