BE DETERMINED

By -

 According to the Bible, Elemelech took his wife Naomi and two children, Mahlon and Chilion, and relocated to Moab due to the famine in Bethlehem. Naomi and two widows of her sons named Ruth and Oprah were left behind after the man and his children passed away. After finding out that Jerusalem's economy is better, Naomi made the decision to return there. Naomi convinced the widows of her sons to stay back, despite their intentions to follow her back to Bethlehem. Oprah left, but Ruth remained and swore that death would be the only thing that could separate them. But Ruth said:“Entreat[e] me not to leave you, Or to turn back from following after you;

For wherever you go, I will go; And wherever you lodge, I will lodge; Your people shall be my people, And your God, my God. Where you die, I will die, And there will I be buried. The Lord do so to me, and more also,
If anything but death parts you and me. ”When she saw that she was determined to go with her, she stopped speaking to her. (Ruth 1:1-18). 

Ruth married Boaz and gave birth to Obed, the grandfather of great king David (the man after God's heart), and Ruth is mentioned in the genealogy of Jesus Christ in Matthew 1:5.

Ruth could have gone back and nothing would be heard about her again, just like Oprah, but she was determined. To be successful and great this year, it's crucial to have determination and discipline. Avoid being discouraged by anyone. Your Father in heaven is aware of what the future holds, even though you may not be aware.

Set your face like a flint, be focused, and determined, and you shall not be disgraced or put to shame. For the Lord will help you (Isaiah 50:7). God's help is limited to those who are united with Him, so today, acknowledge Christ as your Lord and Saviour, for He was sent to die for our sins (John 3:16), and you too can join His camp. Through Christ's strength, you will be able to accomplish everything (Philippians 4:13)

WITHOUT PRESCRIPTION

November 16th-22nd is designated as World Antibiotic Awareness Week, what is the reason behind it? Antibiotics (Greek anti, “against”; bios, “life”) is chemical compounds used to kill or inhibit the growth of infectious organisms. Originally, the term referred only to organic compounds, produced by bacteria or molds that are toxic or other microorganisms. The term is now used loosely to include synthetic and semisynthetic organic compounds. Although these drugs are excellent, they are being utilized improperly due to the lack of prescriptions, which is harmful and dangerous for our health. This is exactly what most Christians do. We seldom go to God to inquire before embarking on a project, but instead go ahead on our own strength. This is contrary to the Bible's advice to trust in the LORD with all your heart and not depend on our own understanding. Seeking his will in everything you do will guide you to the right path. ( Proverbs 3:5-6 ) The Gibeonite deceived Israel in Chapter 9...

THE HIJACKED LIFE

  The 9/11 attack, where two planes were hijacked and flown into the North and South Towers of The World Trade Center in New York City, resulting in both towers collapsing, remains one of the unforgettable occurrences in the world.   The attack was not planned by the original pilot of the plane, but it happened because some terrorist hijacked the plane from them. The Scripture mentions a demon-possessed man who lived in a tomb in Gadarenes. Despite being naked and unable to be held by a chain or shackles, it was discovered that an army of unclean spirits was inhabiting him. They are the ones controlling his life. They've hijacked it from him and make him do whatever they want. After Jesus removed them from his life, the man became still and free and began spreading the Gospel of the Lord ( Luke 8:26-39). Most of us are living a life that we don't want or like to live, but we can't control it. It's because our life has been hijacked by the devil or his agent in human for...

YOU STILL HAVE ACT IT OUT (THE MARVELOUS JOURNEY)

After viewing the documentary on Giannis Sina Ugo Adetokumpo titled ‘ The Marvelous Journey ’ from Prime Video. I was reflecting on how he grew up in a slum in Greece and achieved success as a basketball player for  Milwaukee Bucks  in NBA and his country. I inquired with God, 'Have you composed all of that?', The answer was, "Yes, but you still have to execute it." I recalled the vigorous practice, workout, discipline, and deep love for God and his family. Having a script written for you by the producer is not enough; you must show up and perform your role. “Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with your might” (Ecclesiastes 9 : 10). It's possible for you to be chosen to bring your family out of poverty, just like Giannis, or do some great things, but if you don't rise to the occasion. Someone else will be chosen by God. Remember, King Saul was replaced by little David just because of his disobedience. 1 Samuel 13:14 “But now your kingdom must end, for th...
