My beloved children in Christ, I greet and bless you all in the name of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. I am delighted to meet you all on this day, January 16th, through this daily Auspicious Word. May God bless you? What auspicious does the Lord have for us today?
Let us read Ruth 2:12. “The Lord repay your work and a full reward be given you by the Lord God of Israel, under whose wings you have come for refuge.” Nothing good has happened Brother, in everything there is a lack, in everything there is a struggle, in everything there is agony, in everything there is a loss, nothing is happening. I have struggled all I can. Children of God who are with tears to receive a full reward bring an end to the days wherein you depended on your talents and skills. Come and seek refuge with the God of Israel.
I have tried with my talents and skills, but nothing has happened. Personal loss and material loss, hardship and debt, disgrace is what I faced. Surrender yourself to the Lord and ask Him to lift you up. This verse says, when you seek refuge under the wings of the God of Israel, the Lord will give you a full reward. Just imagine the husband of the righteous woman Ruth passed away, brothers-in-law died, father-in-law died, and only her aged, widowed mother-in-law remained. Another brother-in-law’s wife remained. The whole family was in a state of gloom, they faced continuous loss, continuous deaths. Do you know what she did under such circumstances? She sought refuge from the Lord. The Bible says, she received a full reward from the Lord from whom she sought refuge. A full life that she did not imagine. God gave her a good husband called Boaz, a wealthy flourishing husband, a very rich husband, moreover he was a very good man. A righteous man who had a good business. He had several servants under him. God gave her this man. That is a full reward. Not only that, in the place where she thought her generations were cut off, God gave her a blessed child Obed. Jesus was a descendant in that line. In a place where she had lost everything because she sought refuge with the Lord she received a life, a comfortable living, a life partner, a child and a blessed life.
Do you know the reason for all this? It was her testimony. After her husband died, she never went behind any young men, or wealthy people, but safeguarded her integrity. This is what the Bible says. So, for God to bless you with a full reward, you must guard your integrity. In front of God, you should live with truth and integrity. If you live your life pleasing God, it is His responsibility to exalt and beautify you. He will exalt you. All your needs will be met by God. You will receive a full reward of a life-partner, a child, a husband, wealth. For all this the only price you must pay is to be a person of integrity in front of God.
Prayer: Dear Lord, we thank You. You gave a new lease of life to Ruth who lost everything. And You blessed her with continuous miracles and a full reward in her life. Lord, those who are reading this message are saying they have lost everything, beyond this, there is no meaning in life, no way to survive; they can’t progress beyond this, nobody will believe me and do anything. Those who are crying like this, Lord, wash them with the blood from calvary so that they become people of integrity. Help them uphold and maintain integrity. Ruth, who was a person of integrity, received one blessing after the other. For every person watching this program, falling at your feet and praying let them also receive one blessing after the other, one miracle after another, and one good thing after the other. In Jesus Name, Amen.
