“Glory to the Precious name of our Lord Jesus Christ”
Psalms 71: 1 In You, O Lord, I put my trust; Let me never be put to shame.
May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen
Hallelujah
We, the bride, the church should safeguard ourselves daily so that our heavenly food is not decreased.
My dear brothers and sisters in Christ, in the portion of the Bible that we meditated upon in the past days, we meditated that we, the bride, the church should receive the anointing of the Holy Spirit and we also meditated regarding the pattern that we should renew ourselves.
Next, what we are meditating is that in the days when the judges ruled, that there was a famine in the land. Also, in Ruth 1: 1 – 7 Now it came to pass, in the days when the judges ruled, that there was a famine in the land. And a certain man of Bethlehem, Judah, went to dwell in the country of Moab, he and his wife and his two sons.
The name of the man was Elimelech, the name of his wife was Naomi, and the names of his two sons were Mahlon and Chilion—Ephrathites of Bethlehem, Judah. And they went to the country of Moab and remained there. Then Elimelech died there and she was left, and her two sons.
Now they took wives of the women of Moab: the name of the one was Orpah, and the name of the other Ruth. And they dwelt there about ten years.
Then both Mahlon and Chilion also died; so the woman survived her two sons and her husband.
Then she arose with her daughters-in-law that she might return from the country of Moab, for she had heard in the country of Moab that the Lord had visited His people by giving them bread.
Therefore she went out from the place where she was, and her two daughters-in-law with her; and they went on the way to return to the land of Judah.
And a certain man of Bethlehem, Judah, went to dwell in the country of Moab, he and his wife and his two sons. The name of the man was Elimelech, the name of his wife was Naomi, and the names of his two sons were Mahlon and Chilion—Ephrathites of Bethlehem, Judah. And they saw the famine and went to the country of Moab and remained there. Then Elimelech died over there; and she was left, and her two sons. Now they took wives of the women of Moab: the name of the one was Orpah, and the name of the other Ruth. And they dwelt there about ten years. But because her two sons Mahlon and Chilion also died; so the woman called Naomi lost both her two sons and her husband and becomes alone. Then she arose with her daughters-in-law that she might return from the country of Moab, for she had heard in the country of Moab that the Lord had visited His people by giving them bread. Therefore she went out from the place where she was, and her two daughters-in-law with her.
On the way to return to the land of Judah Ruth 1: 8 – 10 And Naomi said to her two daughters-in-law, “Go, return each to her mother’s house. The Lord deal kindly with you, as you have dealt with the dead and with me.
The Lord grant that you may find rest, each in the house of her husband.” So she kissed them, and they lifted up their voices and wept.
And they said to her, “Surely we will return with you to your people.”
When we meditate upon the above-mentioned verses, those who have been redeemed by Christ, saved and united along with Christ, the church if they leave from the truth of God and if they are as those who are stuck in sin and infatuation and lusts and their soul has entered Moab and if our soul will remain saying that this life is sufficient then God is saying as a pattern that Elimelech, the husband and the sons are dying and Naomi is being made alone. That is, the bride, the church because famine increased in the land goes into Moab and due to the reason that they remained there they lost all the spiritual goodness. In this manner if we leave the commandments of Christ and when we enter into the enjoyments of the world the grace that was before us God will remove from us and that is sure. After that, even if we remove the world, that is the deeds of the Gentiles that we have been holding on to, they will say that we will not go away from you. She is telling them to go to their mother’s house. Not only that The Lord deal kindly with you, as you have dealt with the dead and with me. The Lord grant that you may find rest, each in the house of her husband. So she kissed them, and they lifted up their voices and wept. And they said to her, “Surely we will return with you to your people.”
In this manner only if we will go away from God the deeds of the Gentiles will follow us and we also will lose the goodness that we have received in our soul. Therefore, let us submit ourselves so that in our land, which is our soul there is no famine of food and so that we will be as those who do not move away from God.
Let us pray. May the Lord bless you all abundantly.
