PRAISE & WORSHIP

1.My faith looks up to Thee,
Thou Lamb of Calvary,
Savior Divine;
Now hear me while I pray;
Take all my guilt away;
Oh, let me from this day
Be wholly Thine.

2. May Thy rich grace impart
Strength to my fainting heart,
My zeal inspire;
As Thou hast died for me,
Oh, may my love to Thee
Pure, warm, and changeless be,
A living fire.

3. While life’s dark maze I tread,
And griefs around me spread,
Be Thou my Guide;
Bid darkness turn to day,
Wipe sorrow’s tears away,
Nor let me ever stray
From Thee aside.

4. All thru life’s transient dream,
Until death’s sullen stream
Shall o’er me roll,
Blest Savior, with Thy love,
Fear and distrust remove;
Make me Thy grace to prove
Transform my soul

PROPHETIC WORD FOR 5/10/22:
I DECREE THAT YOUR NAME WILL NOT DISAPPEAR FROM THE BOOK OF LIFE AND THE WORD FOR RECORD OF THE GREAT, IN THE NAME OF JESUS.

FIRE SCRIPTURE: RUTH 4:9-12

And Boaz said unto the elders, and unto all the people, Ye are witnesses this day, that I have bought all that was Elimelech’s, and all that was Chilion’s and Mahlon’s, of the hand of Naomi.

10 Moreover Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of Mahlon, have I purchased to be my wife, to raise up the name of the dead upon his inheritance, that the name of the dead be not cut off from among his brethren, and from the gate of his place: ye are witnesses this day.

11 And all the people that were in the gate, and the elders, said, We are witnesses. The Lord make the woman that is come into thine house like Rachel and like Leah, which two did build the house of Israel: and do thou worthily in Ephratah, and be famous in Bethlehem:

12 And let thy house be like the house of Pharez, whom Tamar bare unto Judah, of the seed which the Lord shall give thee of this young woman.

5/10/22 MESSAGE:
God rules in the affairs of men. The life of a believer is not guided by luck or the stars but by the Saviour. God loves His own, cares for them and provides all their needs. He is called the God of providence because He knows in advance what the entire mankind is going to need (physically and spiritually), and He meets those needs. The first time we find the word “providence” in the Old Testament was in the story of Abraham’s offering of Isaac upon the altar.

In Genesis 22:7-8, “And Isaac spake unto Abraham his father, and said, My father: and he said, Here am l, my son. And he said, Behold the fire and the wood: but where is the lamb for a burnt offering? And Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt offering: so they went both of them together.” That was a great need in the life of Abraham and God providentially met that need by providing a ram for the sacrifice. Later, God also provided the supreme Lamb that was sacrificed to save mankind.

God accomplished His purposes through divine providence. He knew ahead that there would be famine in Egypt in the future and that He desired to preserve some people. He allowed Joseph’s brothers to sell him as a slave and for Joseph to be in Egypt before the famine began. He also providentially enabled Joseph to interpret Pharaoh’s dream, proffer solutions that impressed the king who made him a prime minister in Egypt. In Genesis 50:15-21, Joseph told his fearful brothers that God arranged all that happened to use him to save many people from death and destruction.

Similarly, Ruth’s meeting with Boaz was not an accident. It was providentially arranged. The day she met Boaz, the owner of a field where she gleaned, Boaz received her kindly. God gave her favour with him and he later became her husband (Ruth 4:10).

That was how Ruth came into the genealogy of Jesus Christ. The purpose of God in all things is the salvation of His elect people in Christ. So He uses everything in their lives also for their eternal good and salvation.
