THE RESTORER AND NOURISHER OF LIFE
TEXT: Ruth 4:15 “And may he be to you a restorer of Life and
Nourisher of your old age; for your daughter in-law, who loves you, who is better to you than seven
son’s has borne him.”
To restore means to bring back a situation or feeling that
existed before; to bring back to a former condition or to repair. And to
nourish simply means to keep a thing healthy or to allow a feeling, idea to
develop or grow stronger.
Before I proceed, I was supposed to be speaking on Divine
Recovery this week but Christ through a divine revelation has shown me to speak
on this topic “The Restorer and Nourisher of Life” Please read on enjoy be
blessed and Saved in Jesus Name Amen.
The scriptural text which we read above was the prayer of the
Women of Israel for Naomi & Ruth her daughter in-law, However before we go
on; Let us commit this session into the hands of God in prayer: Oh God, through
the Power of the Holy Spirit in the Name of Jesus Christ, send us the overflow
of your Favors, Grace and the Knowledge of truths through your blessed word, we
receive this word with joy and thanking believe that your power through it will
restore us & make us good vessels in your hands to achieve Restorations
& the auction to rebuild/repair that which sin or our enemies has damaged
in our Life, home, finance, marriage, relationship, communities & Nations,
and bring them back to a new life, good conditions/state in Jesus Mighty Name
we pray Amen.
Quotes: “In life’s journey, those who work by faith will
gain strength and those who work by sight will lose hope”
WHEN DECIDING A JOURNEY:
In Genesis 26, Isaac was deciding to go back to Egypt due to
famine in the land where he dwell and either by prayer or by divine
intervention God spoke to him not to go back to Egypt but to dwell in the land
of Gerar and he obeyed the word of God,
dwell in Gerar and Prospered in that land that he was called very prosperous
and even the king of the land feared him. This is your portion; in this times
of flood, famine and poverty, difficulties and deaths in the land in Jesus Name
AMEN.
However, the matter is different in the book of Ruth as
earlier mentioned above as it state an account of a Certain man named Elimelech
the husband of Naomi who had two Sons named Mah’lon and Chilion and due to
famine in the land of Israel went with his household to sojourn in the land of
Moab. Although, the scripture did not let us know if he ‘Elimelech” Left the
land by God’s instruction or by his own decision just like in the case of
Isaac. The account made us to know that as they dwell in Moab, His two son’s
got Married to Ruth and Orpah of the land of Moabites.
Thereafter, Elimelech dead and his two son’s Malhon and
Chilion dead without any child from their marriages at that time, which shows
that the death of those three men may have occurred within a shortest period of
time. Naomi was left in pains and sorrow and to make the matter regrettable,
back home in the land of Israel, there was blossom as of this time when the
household of Elimelech that has gone off from the fold to seek survival were in
death, pains and agony. Then Naomi decided to go back home and sojourned with
her husband’s family. The two daughter in-laws were left with very hard decisions
to make either to continue life with a barren woman (Naomi) without a son or to
go back to their separate homes. But since those who work by faith gain
strength and those who work by sight lose hope, Orpah chose to depart to her
parent and Ruth a woman of faith said “Entreat me not to leave you, or to turn
back from following after you; for wherever you go, I will go; and wherever you
lodge, I will lodge; your people shall be my people and your God, my God” Ruth
1:16
What life challenging situation are you that makes it seem
as if it is over for you in your Marriage, Finances, Job, Business, Family,
Academics, Health, Child Bearing or Relationship. This is just what I could a
temporary challenge or a trial of the moment. So my dear; don’t give up, it’s a moment to
stand your Ground. Though, the devil wants you to go out of God’s fold to seek
a false, cheap survival but Know that it is not the plan and purpose of God for
you.
If Ruth can make something out of nothing, create her
genealogy from a situation you could quickly ran out from and call it hopeless
situation, Child of God; God is closer than you think, He is too close in our
daily life challenges and ready to make something great out of that your
situation to glorify His own name. Surely, there’s hope for you. So do not let
that marriage or relationship be destroyed. The scripture said that those who
do know their God shall do exploits.
GOD WANTS YOU TO FORGIVE ONE ANOTHER:
Do not put your husband or wife away because of self-reasons,
not even when you feels your rights are been tampered do God wants you be
separated. God ask you to forgive one another and please note there’s no limit
to His forgiving you and the reason He’d ask you to forgive and let go is so He
can be your avenger and your God. So each time you want to take that fights by
yourself you are simply saying “I know you God can’t fight for me”
Now most of us make this mistake of saying “oh damn it,
don’t even preach to me, after all I had quit and you never know what I had
been through with that man/woman, I has nothing to lose and I wouldn’t even regret,
I am Free now.” I wish to make you
realize that it is your personal decision and never the decision of God and has
not the backing of God any were in the scripture. Can a man or Woman be free by
jumping from fire to frying pan? If that your marriage is fire, then it has
come to refine you. It is written that
except the gold is refined through the fire, it shall not become Gold. So that
your decision to jump into the frying pan is to be burnt or to wore out. I am speaking
to those of you whose marriage is Legal in the essence that it is recognized before
God and before the Law. I am not speaking to those who through their weakness
got pregnant for a man and decided to call him a husband. Yes, He can only be recognized
and your marriage be recognized only if all the rights are made rights before
the presence of God. Remember, when that your plan is out of God’s content,
that is out of God’s word then it is a plan gone too far. In so doing you’ve
just cut short the plan and purpose of God from the beginning of your creation
and that is creating a vacuum that you will need a restorer to fill, and such
restorers aren’t easy to come by but can easily be gotten through repentance
and developing a closer relationship with God and mind you, even if this stage
is easy yet you may have pass through a rough road to arrive on it. So the
right time is NOW.
It is not by sharp practice but God’s making that the very
marriage which Ruth entered begat Obed, and Obed gave birth to Jesse and Jesse
is the father of King David and the very linage of Jesus Christ Our Savior. Had
Ruth out of the suffering, sorrow and pain ran away, you can Imagine how only
that singular act would have cut short or delayed the redemption purpose of God
for man.
The Scripture said “Now to the married I command, yet not I
but the Lord. A wife is not to depart from her husband. But even if she does
depart, let her remain unmarried or be reconciled to her husband and a husband
is not to divorce his wife.” 1 cor 7:10-11. You see, the new trend in today’s
world is that people behaves as if there’s a portion of the scripture in the
New Generation Believers life in the order of our Most High Priest Jesus Christ
where divorce is supported. Even in the case of unfaithfulness the scripture
reveals that if you eventually divorce, you should remain unmarried for the
rest of your life. Please read 1cor 7:10-11.
One sad thing about the divorce
thing is that it is becoming a cankerworm eating up the Church in this
generation as well as our society. Most senior pastors and junior pastors are
now at will divorcing their wife/husband and find is easy to tell the congregations
“Please respect my wish” And the worst ugly part of it all is those government
policies that support divorce and sharing of wealth. People now enter into a
false marriage with the intentions of divorcing and sharing wealth they never
worked for so sad the broke the other partner who committed all her love, care
and concern only to be left brokenhearted. Had the Government set their
policies to read that whosoever that chose to divorce should go summit their
wealth to a certain Orphanage home or a reserved home where the children gotten
out of such marriage shall be kept and trained. I am sure no one will indulge
in false marriages, contract marriages and divorces of any nature. At least, if
you aren’t afraid Government will cease all your assets, you will be passionate
to see how your kids grow up and remain in your marriage.
Human being are like rubber band
and except they are stretched, their through colors or true self can’t
manifest. The number of single parent mothers and fathers today is alarming and
no one seem to be doing anything about it. A lot number of Children grow lacking
proper parental care. That exert type of care mother and father has to give to
a child and not the one given by a single mother or father. If we be sincere to
our self, no mother can be a father and no father can be a mother at the same
time. Under such circumstance half of these children grow to be what they’re
not supposed to be: drug addicts, suicide bombers, gamblers, prostitutes, Armed
Robbers Etc. it will surprise you to know that severally I had been opportune
to speak with some good number of these children and I know their pains, some
of you may not, and that is sad.
Some of them I had meet in police
cell, prison custody and their jungles, they wouldn’t have been in the shit
they’re been through if only mum and dad had been there for them they laments regrettably.
When once you separate, you had caused both physical & spiritually vacuum, as
well had created a loop hole, a total vacuum only that you and your spouse
present & unity can fill. I once realized from their prison visit, when I met
the son of a Royal Highness from the city of port Harcourt whose mother
separated from the father and the father remarried and because the man feels
that his divorced wife was a prostitute, he termed all her children bad eggs as
well. I met that boy in the custody and the Spirit of God told me this is why I
brought you here “This Boy” Sincerely, they were several boys in that very particular
cell but I was trying to figure out why this person is special and supposed to
be why I am here. Just within that interval his cell mates where calling him
pastor. I was keen to know why a pastor can be criminal because I was told by
the authorities all the boys are criminals and while I try to maintain not to
get them upset, I gave all the inmates money.
And they were calling me senior bros and I made my presence with them
turn like a friendly gist get together and it was full of fun for them. And
they began to be open to me, one gist us, how they use to go kidnapping after
he was so frustrated by his dad and step mom activities in the house, as the
Home has become a hell for him. He was bold to say that he refers the custody
and going back home to meet the horror again as tears roll out of his eyes I feel
like crying and the other told us how they use to steal and several of them
confessed as I led them to God in prayers and then back to the one they refer as pastor
, I asked why are you calling this other black friend pastor, all of them busted
to laughter hahaha and one immediately
reached the side of that young black boy and draw a King James Bible from his
side and showed me bros see now and they begin to laugh again & narrated to
me that since he came into that place, he has been preaching to them and
praying every two hours infact, their cell presido said that he has been there
for so many years but that since that boy came in, no one has he seen like that
before, he said this boy does look criminal and don’t even have the lever for
it. He is not supposed to be here Oga, E dey even spoil show for me here o
meaning that the boy is not supposed to be there that his presence is causing
bad business since the boy is bridging him from collecting money from other new
inmates and from beating and intimidating them as usual not as if he can fight
him back but because his words are so convicting. So I called the boy and asked
him what bring him into here. He told me that is not as if he has not sinned in
the past, but that he is innocent of been called an armed robber and been here.
He narrated to me how dad and mum divorced and
life after their separation has led him to be sleeping under the bridge (
flyover) as he’s dad disowned him. he recounted that what led to it was certain
day that he’s snatched a certain woman hand pulse due to hunger and to make the
matter worse, he’s sibling was dying in their old house were their father
abandoned them as he built a new separate house for himself & his second
wife and a day following they had gone ground begging money but no one seem to
show concern, that next morning he went out early and saw that woman heading to
market, he held her and took her bag and the next thing the people chased him
and recognizing him they went and report to his father who happen to be the
king and in a quest to clean up his name his highness been his own father
banished him that he cannot have such a child, attributing it to the blood of
his prostitute mother and that made him to run out of home and started sleeping
under the Bridge. Continuing he said he has
been there for months but a particular fateful night some armed robbers had
gone elsewhere and were chase by the police until the dumped their vehicle and
ran out under the bridge and the police on the verge of chasing them
misunderstood him to be one of them trying to escape and the next thing he saw
was handcuff and before he knows it he find himself in Custody. And it was sad
that all the efforts to get his Royal father intervention fall to a deaf ear as
he has already been term a thief. He
confess he used to do pick pockets after he was chased out of home and smoke
dope those early days his mom left but no more before the incidence as he has
already began working pusher/loader jobs. I felt his pains and visited his
father with a friend of mine, at first the king saw us like we were his son’s
gang members coming to either fought him or trick him. I tell you the true; it
took me sometimes to make him understand we were not as I got the custody
authority were the boy is staying by then to call him and let him know we are Gospel
Preachers. He specifically told us he has disowned that boy and his siblings
for long. That he has even at a time told the police if he is arrested for any
criminal offense they should fire him or not refer to him as the boy’s father. that
was during that snatched woman pocket case as the police was involved, he is no
longer my son the man asserted. So after I heard him speak I knew something is
wrong somewhere, I and my friend tried to speak to him to have a rethink and
reminded him so much more mercies & forgiveness of God upon his own Life without
God disowning him.
It was not easy since we had to go and comeback
again and praying for the matter as well and final he agreed and make steps that
effected the release of that young boy.
So, if I had my way, I will let
you know again and again that your decision to divorce isn’t to you and your
kids best interest nor is it to the interest of our collective society and I
will also make every Government to stop all policies that enable divorcing
person’s share or have any material benefits.
THE MINISTRY OF RECONCILIATIONS: (SUMMARY)
Every true child of God (A believer) is called into the
ministry of reconciliation, and if you can not reconcile with yourself how then
can you reconcile with God. For God’s word
said concerning marriage, “He made the two one flesh” and Concerning you fellow
brother “Forgive one another”. Which of you therefore can make a mistake and
bet off your head? Who among you can divorce/disown himself for sinning? Please
can you as a man or woman be able to divide yourself? If you are therefore
strong help your weak brother lest you also be tempted.
Repent of your sin’s now by accepting Jesus Christ as your
Personal Lord and Savior. Run away from the pains of Living in this wicked
without Christ the Only Savior of Man Kind.
