“Glory to the Precious name of our Lord Jesus Christ”

Jeremiah 9: 15, 16 Therefore thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: “Behold, I will feed them, this people, with wormwood, and give them water of gall to drink. 

I will scatter them also among the Gentiles, whom neither they nor their fathers have known. And I will send a sword after them until I have consumed them.”

May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen

Hallelujah 

If we, the bride, the church do things which do not please God, he is making our life bitter – as a pattern.

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 not leave the love of Christ in any circumstance and should be careful. That is, the bride, the church, who is Naomi left Bethlehem and because she went to Moab due to the famine, she took wives of the women of Moab for her sons. As she did in this manner, God made her life bitter. After that, when she heard that God gave his people food and when she was planning to come from there to Bethlehem only Ruth said that I will not be separated from Naomi and they both came back walking. When they had come to Bethlehem, that all the city was excited because of them; and the women said, “Is this Naomi?” But she said to them, “Do not call me Naomi; call me Mara, for the Almighty has dealt very bitterly with me. 

I went out full, and the Lord has brought me home again empty. Why do you call me Naomi, since the Lord has testified against me, and the Almighty has afflicted me?” So Naomi returned, and Ruth her daughter-in-law with her, who returned from the country of Moab. Now they came to Bethlehem at the beginning of barley harvest.

My dear people, Naomi in her life was filled with the fullness of the grace of God. But God tested her faith first by sending famine. But she did not know how to stand in that test, and she is going away far from him. But she is going with fullness, but God is making her life desolate and empty and making it bitter. Only then she is realizing it. After she realizes it, she is going back to the place that she left and came. In this manner only many among us even though we received many graces from God, we carelessly do not bear the temptation and for their life of pleasure and enjoyment they go to the other Gentiles (those who have not received salvation) so God is making our life bitter. 

Therefore, my dear people we must never go far away from God and we must not backslide and fall and we must be careful. Also, loving people in Christ who are reading this if any of your lives have lost the grace of God and is a life of bitterness just like how Naomi realized and with a soul of life, she returned back let us also return back to God again. Let us submit ourselves.

Let us pray. May the Lord bless you all abundantly.
