Naomi journeyed back to Judah's territory to fulfil her purpose.

 Shabbat Shalom from Kent, London - 28Mar2025

Reference Scripture: Ruth 1:6

Naomi and Daughter-in-laws began to walk back along the road to the Terrority of JUDAH.

When Naomi heard in Moab that the LORD had come to the HELP/AID of HIS People by providing Food for them in Famine. She and her daughters-in-law prepared to return Home from there!

Famine forces Elimelek, Naomi, Mahlon and Kilion to vacate HOMELAND, went to live for approximately 10+ years in the country of Moab. 

The Life was not easy for them! Naomi's husband and sons died, no reasons mentioned. The Ephrathites experience in Bethlehem in Judah dried. The Land of living brought another level of dryness in the family. Both outside and inside are pretty much same experience in terms of dryness. They faced challenges both Internally and externally in terms of famine, sorrows and Losses. 

Moving from HOMELAND for living is a difficult decision to make, however often the new place may not be the way we expected!.

3 life lessons observed from this scripture, she kept her #1updated, what was going on, at the land of Moab and the HOMELAND (Jerusalem/ Bethlehem). She #2decided to make make a #3progress by not blaming the decisions of the PAST! She got herself together- She kept things simple, tidy and up-to-date. Many times we destroy ourselves in our thoughts, words with low-self esteem. 

She heard that the LORD had been pleased to visit His people. YHWH had come to the help, blessed HIS people in Judah by giving them Good crops again! Her eagerness to get the updates made her to realise that the ADONAI had attended His people by providing them the food.

The Lord visited His people- this is the headlines. HE had taken care, paid attention, come to help, relief, looked after HIS people to give bread. The LORD had seen to HIS people's need. Elohim had considered, reviewed HIS people, looked upon their situations and remembered them by visiting and providing the way for them. 

On her way back, she shared her plans with her immediate circles, given them room to make a call to join her- She accepted who decided to come with her to face the future with the Heavenly Father! Ruth aligned with Naomi, which fulfilled God's plan to meet Boaz, to give birth to Obed then leading to Jesse, David lineage formed up to Jesus!

Let us thank God for the trusted people that we have in our circles. We know that not all of them shall stay until the end. Let us not dwell in the past but begin to walk to the road leading the future to fulfil our purpose in Christ Jesus. 

Peace be Upon the State of the Israel and us. Shalom. Have a Great weekend.

In His Grip.

At the altar, our destiny is altered

At the altar, our destiny is altered... Reference-  Job 37:23-24 MSG “Mighty God! Far beyond our reach!     Unsurpassable in Power and Justice!     It’s unthinkable that HE would treat anyone unfairly. So bow to HIM in deep reverence, one and all!     If you’re wise, you’ll most certainly worship HIM.” God is unfolding His story in His own way. The Sovereign and Supreme Ruler is in control of everyone, everything, and everywhere, and the accuser must seek His permission before acting against us. He sees us as His own, and we belong to Him just as He belongs to us. As Job said, God can do all things, and no purpose of His can be stopped (42:2). The Just and Righteous Judge – Our God is fundamentally just, and it’s unthinkable that He would treat anyone unfairly. His rule and governance are righteous, even if at times our eyes, ears, and hearts may not fully understand. The source of all wisdom and revelation is God , whose knowledge is complete unlike ...

God's way is the Power

God's way is God's Power Reference- 1 Cor 4:20 MSG -  God’s Way is not a matter of mere talk; it’s an empowered life!! In 1 Corinthians, Paul speaks to a divided church where some were proud, eloquent, and believed they were spiritually superior because of their words and wisdom. He contrasts this human pride with the true power of God, shown in the cross, in changed lives, and in the work of the Spirit, the God's Power. It’s an empowered life—God’s ways are the true power, not found in mere talk, endless words, idle chatter, or impressive responses built on layers of discussion. It is a life empowered by the power of His Spirit, the presence of the Holy Spirit. It is power that breaks chains, sets us free, anoints us, and creates new opportunities, fresh paths, flourishing streams, divine strategies, abundant life, and limitless expansion. Paul didn’t ask the Corinthians to be practical . It’s not about having everything, but about having Him alongside others. That’s why h...

Efforts that counts...

Efforts that counts... Reference- 2 Ch 17  Context: King Jehoshaphat was a seeker and follower of the God of his father and was obedient to HIM; he wasn’t like Israel (at that time, Ahab was ruling Israel). And God secured the kingdom under his rule, gave him a firm grip on it. And everyone in Judah showed their appreciation by bringing gifts. Jehoshaphat ended up very rich and much honoured. Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone - Apostle James in 2:17 Efforts that showed his intention to Seek and Keep Him: Sticking to the ways of Asa (his godly father). Rejecting Baal — non-conformity to the ungodly culture. Removing high places and Asherah poles. This is personal reformation — the king putting his own house in order spiritually. Efforts that enabled others to Seek and Keep Him: Building defences — not just military, but spiritual covering. Sending teachers throughout Judah with the “Book of the Revelation of God” (likely the Torah or existing OT Scriptures). ...
