FULFILLING DUTIES WHEN AND WHERE STRATEGICALLY PLACED.

GREETINGS BELOVED. AM SO GRATEFUL TO GOD FOR THE GIFT OF LIFE HE GAVE ME, MY FAMILY MEMBERS AND ALSO TO EVERYONE OF YOU AND YOUR FAMILIES. NOT FORGETING THOSE READING TODAYS BLOG POST. HOPE WE DOING GREAT?GLORY TO GOD ALMIGHTY.

SO TODAY I WILL BE SHARING WITH YOU ON THE MESSAGE I HAVE TITLED "FULFILLING DUTIES WHEN AND WHERE STRATEGICALLY PLACED". OUR BIBLE PASSAGE IS TAKEN FROM THE BOOK OF RUTH CHAPTER 1.

RUTH WAS THE DAUGHTER IN LAW OF NAOMI. WE WERE TOLD IN THE SCIPTURE THAT NAOMI LOST HER HUSBAND ''ELIMELECH'' AND HER TWO SONS ''MAHLON AND CHILION''.

RUTH AND ORPAH WERE THE WIVES OF MAHLON AND CHILION. THIS IS A SHORT INTRODUCTION. WELL MOST TIMES GOD PLACES US STRATEGICALLY IN SOME PLACES AT A CERTAIN PERIOD OF TIME AND IN DIFFERENT CIRCUMSTANCES. WHEN GOD DOES THIS, HE EXPECTS US TO FULFIL OUR DUTIES, WE ARE NOT EXPECTED TO GO AWAY EVEN IF THE SITUATION SEEMS AS IF NOTHING GOOD OR BETTER IS EVER GOING TO HAPPEN THERE. IMAGINE ORPAH LEAVING HER MOTHER IN LAW AT THAT POINT WHEN SHE NEEDED HER THE MOST, EVEN IF NAOMI SUGGESTED SHE GOES BACK TO HER MOTHERS HOUSE AFTER THE DEATH OF HER HUSBAND, SHE WOULDN’T HAVE GONE IF SHE GENUINELY LOVED HER MOTHER IN LAW NAOMI. THE WOMAN WAS MOURNING AND AS WE ALL KNOW IN TIMES LIKE THAT WE NEED THOSE CLOSEST TO OUR HEARTS TO BE THERE FOR US. ONE OF THEIR DUTIES WAS TO TAKE CARE OF THEIR MOTHER IN LAW, COMFORT HER, HELP HER AND STAY WITH HER AFTER SOMETIME IT IS THEN RIGHT FOR THEM TO RETURN BACK TO THEIR VARIOUS HOMES. BUT ORPAH FAILED TO FULFIL HER DUTY GOD STRATEGICALLY PLACED HER IN THE LIFE OF NAOMI. BUT RUTH ON THE OTHER HAND DID FUFIL HER DUTY SHE WAS STRATEGICALLY PLACED FOR. SHE DECIDED TO STAY WITH HER IN THE HARD TIME OF HER LIFE. WE CAN SEE THESE IN VERSE 16- 17 ‘’ And Ruth said, Intreat me not to leave thee, or to return from following after thee: for whither thou goest, I will go; and where thou lodgest, I will lodge: thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God:

17 Where thou diest, will I die, and there will I be buried: the Lord do so to me, and more also, if ought but death part thee and me.

LESSONS TO LEARN.

• NEVER THINK GOD HAS FORGOTTEN US. NO MATTER WHAT COMES OUR WAY, HE SURELY HAS LINED UP THE RIGHT PEOPLE WHO HE WILL WORK THROUGH TO BE THERE FOR US LIKE RUTH. THE BIBLE SAYS EVERY GOOD AND PERFECT GIFT COMES FROM THE LORD ‘’JAMES 1:17

• SECONDLY WHEN WE ARE MEANT TO BE OF HELP TO PEOPLE, ITS NOT ADVISABLE TO DEPART JUST LIKE THAT EVEN IF THE PERSON SAYS HE OR SHE DOESN’T NEED HELP. SOME PEOPLE WONT OPENLY TELL YOU THEY NEED YOUR HELP BUT WISDOM OF GOD WILL TELL YOU AND YOU ARE SUPPOSE TO RENDER HELP TO THE VERY BEST OF YOUR ABILITY.

• EXERCISE PAITENCE AND ALSO BE SENSITIVE TO OTHER PEOPLES NEEDS AROUND YOU.

• ALWAYS TRY TO BE OF HELP IN ANY LITTLE WAY, EITHER THROUGH TIME SPENDING WITH THE BROKEN HEARTED, THROUGH RESOURCES AND FINANCES, THROUGH COMPLIMENTS AND KIND WORDS, THROUGH PRAYERS AND CONSOLATIONS.

• TRY TO FULFIL YOUR DUTIES ALWAYS AND WHEN YOU ARE STRATEGICALLY PLACED/

ITS NOT A COINCIDENCE YOU FIND YOURSELF WHERE YOU ARE TODAY. GOD MUST HAVE PLACED YOU THERE FOR A PURPOSE. SEE YOU MEET A NEED TODAY, PUT A SMILE ON SOMEONES FACE BECAUSE YOU ARE SOMEBODY’S MIRACLE WAITING TO HAPPEN.

HAVE A NICE WEEK FRIENDS AND REMEMBER TO FULFIL YOUR DUTIES GOD EXPECTS OF YOU. YOU ARE A MIRACLE WAITING TO HAPPEN. YES YOU HEARD ME RIGHT. GOD BLESS YOU ALL AS YOU READ HIS WORD AND PUT IT INTO PRACTICE.
