Prophetic word for 10/9/22:
I DECREE INTO YOUR LIFE THE POWER AND THE STRENGTH OF GOD TO JUMP OUT OF THE VALLEY OF SORROW AND FRUSTRATION, IN  THE NAME OF JESUS.

Fire Scripture: Ruth 4: 13-21:-

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.

17 And the women her neighbours gave it a name, saying, There is a son born to Naomi; and they called his name Obed: he is the father of Jesse, the father of David.

18 Now these are the generations of Pharez: Pharez begat Hezron,

19 And Hezron begat Ram, and Ram begat Amminadab,

20 And Amminadab begat Nahshon, and Nahshon begat Salmon,

21 And Salmon begat Boaz, and Boaz begat Obed.

PRAISE & WORSHIP:

1 My hope is built on nothing less
than Jesus’ blood and righteousness;
I dare not trust the sweetest frame,
but wholly lean on Jesus’ name.

Refrain:
On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand:
all other ground is sinking sand;
all other ground is sinking sand.

2 When darkness veils his lovely face,
I rest on his unchanging grace;
in every high and stormy gale,
my anchor holds within the veil. [Refrain]

3 His oath, his covenant, his blood,
support me in the whelming flood;
when all around my soul gives way,
he then is all my hope and stay. [Refrain]

4 When he shall come with trumpet sound,
O may I then in him be found:
dressed in his righteousness alone,
faultless to stand before the throne. [Refrain]

10/9/22 MESSAGE:

There are many lessons to learn from Ruth. As a foreigner, she might have considered Naomi’s counsel as odd when she advised her on what to do with Boaz, but she knew Naomi was kind, trustworthy and filled with moral integrity.

Beloved, when you see somebody whose counsel is in line with the word of God, the experience and knowledge of such person can be useful to you. Ruth would have amounted to nothing if she did not heed her mother-in-law’s advice.

Secondly, do not allow your past to hold you back. Ruth had so many reasons to withdraw into her shell and live in obscurity but she didn’t. You must strive to fulfill the purpose for your life regardless of your past experiences or what you are presently passing through. God is faithful and He will keep His word concerning your life.

Thirdly, have faith in God of Israel like Ruth. Although she has never been to the land of Israel before, she had faith in the God of Israel and declared: “Thy God shall be my God.” What a great faith-Heb 11:1.

Furthermore, she was a woman of noble character. She showed unreserved respect and honour to her mother-in-law. She worked hard in the field to provide food for both of them. She did not behave herself unseemly before the young men in the city and God honoured her. She became the grandmother of Jesus Christ.

Also, note that against all odds, redemption is always possible. Ruth believed that God will provide and as a result of her faith, God did a miraculous work of redemption in her life.

Beloved, your present circumstances not withstanding, God has a plan for you.

Above all, have a good legacy like Ruth who through faith, hope and good character eventually became the grandmother of Jesus Christ. There is no limit to what God can do through you if you allow Him by committing your all to him.

There is hope in the devastating times in your life and Christ Jesus is that hope. Your past is not your final destination only if you put your trust in God. Move forward in faith to possess your possession, in the name of Jesus.
