“BELOVED, YOU ARE CHOSEN TO BE GOD’S HEROIC SERVANT”
Saints of God Most High, hear God’s word for you today:
“But you are a chosen people, the King’s cohanim, a holy nation, a people for God to possess! Why? In order for you to declare the praises of the One who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light” (1Peter 2:9).
You are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a dedicated nation, God’s own purchased, special people, that you may set forth the wonderful deeds and display the virtues and perfections of Him Who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.
The truth is not always what we want to hear. Truth may languish but can never perish. Truth needs no crutches but if it limps it is a lie. A person who speaks the truth is always at ease. Therefore, behold truth, hold on to it and never sell it for a lie.
- God’s heroes are people of their word.
- God’s heroes do not make decisions based on one sided stories.
- God’s heroes follow after God.
- God’s heroes make difficult decisions based on the leading of the Holy Spirit.
- God’s heroes are not afraid of difficult encounters.
- God’s heroes are bible-based Christian believers, not wishy washy, unsteady wavering, unstable people.
- God’s heroes honour God in all things.
- God’s heroes sacrifice their lives for others.
BOAZ: GOD’S HEROIC SERVANT
Who was Boaz? (Ruth 2-4:1-17) Here is a little statistic of the book of Ruth.
The book of Ruth is a simple historical record of life in Israel during the time of Judges. It is the 8th book of the bible with 4 chapters, 85 verses and 2578 words.
It contain 16 questions and it is the first book of the bible without a prophecy.
Boaz was a Bethlehemite, a man of his word and sensitive to other people’s needs (Ruth 2:1-4).
He was a man of responsibility, integrity, successful and a shrewd businessman.
Boaz loved God so much and wanted God’s blessings on those around him including those who worked in his fields (Ruth 2:2-4).
He would always greet his workers because he was a godly man (Ruth 2:4).
He was a leader with a heart of gold and generous with his God-given resources.
He was a model of kindness required in all godly leaders and believers alike. We must learn how to reach out to all those God has put under our influence.
Let us be HEROIC SERVANTS of God Most High from today in Jesus’ mighty name, Amen!*
Somebody shout, “AMEN HALLELUJAH!”
Shalom and good morning.
