Committed 3?

Oh hi guys, hope you are enjoying the weekend, I'm still open for people that want to take me out. So today I wish I could copy

a whole chapter and just type but I can't so I'll drop this verse;

2 Kings 2:10-11
And he said, Thou hast asked a hard thing: nevertheless, if thou see me when I am taken from thee, it shall be so unto thee; but if not, it shall not be so. And it came to pass, as they still went on, and talked, that, behold, there appeared a chariot of fire, and horses of fire, and parted them both asunder; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven.

So I love this guy called Elisha, I'm doing a bit of thorough study on some Bible characters. So Elisha was one guy that showed us what commitment stands for, right from the time the mantle was placed on him, he never wavered, the guy was an OBO yet he left it all, he was doing a lot of mundane jobs for Elijah. He was absolutely committed to serving his master even at the point of Elijah's departure he stayed. 

He was so determined to serve Elijah to the end, he was never distracted, he was never murmuring, he just kept at it. Now I want us to realize that even Elijah said 'it's enough coman be going ' yet Elisha was adamant. Even after asking for what he wanted, Elijah employed a distraction strategy because from the time of the journey they never spoke whilst walking but after Elisha's request, Elijah thought to distract him so he would be carried away by the convo and not see him (Elijah) leave.

Still, this Elisha was persistent in his service, he just wouldn't allow himself to defer from his service. Let's also get this, Elisha never followed Elijah so he could make a request, he didn't even envisage that Elijah would ask him for anything. He followed because he was committed to the love he had for his master, even the after reaction when his master was taken shows us how committed he was to that love. 

I would love to type more but lemme stop here. Thanks guys and God bless. Enjoy the holidays still.

Hey guys, good day. Hope your day was splendid? “But Ruth said, “Do not urge me to leave you or to turn back from following you; for where you go, I will go, and where you lodge, I will lodge. Your people will be my people, and your God, my God.” ‭‭RUTH‬ ‭1:16‬ ‭AMP‬‬ So I know I wrote in Ruth a few days ago but my attention was drawn to Naomi. I mean there must have been some qualities in Naomi that made Ruth determined to follow her. Imagine how endearing Naomi had made her God seem to Ruth for Ruth to have wanted to serve Him. I have to commend Naomi on spreading the gospel so much that her daughter in law was willing and ready to forsake her childhood gods and her way of life just to be with an old woman. I've wondered what was it about that old woman, as in understand that both Ruth and Orpah were unwilling to leave Naomi. She had nothing to offer but I'm quite sure she had invested a lot into them. Now the question is what are we investing into people, how endear

Hypocritical Hypocrites!

  Buenos días amigos ha pasado mucho tiempo , anyways sha it's great to be back. James 1:22-23 Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like someone who looks at his face in a mirror. I know how a lot of us go about in Word Conferences and be shouting "Hmm Rhema!" upandan, biko don't get annoyed but all the Rhema you've been getting what have you used it for exactly? Abi you are now a keeper that all you do is catch Rhema, without retaining possession of the Rhema you've received. The truth is that if we've put into practice all the Rhema we've received then we would have become better Christians. I know someone is thinking that 'not all Rhema is for me', but wait, if the Rhema was not for you, why were you shouting Rhema in our ears depriving some of us from even hearing what the Rhema was. I remember joining a group about sharing the

Commitment 4?

Committed 4? Okay so the holidays are over and tomorrow we resume our serious lives. May the death of Christ put to death all our nasty habits and may the resurrection of Christ birth new and good ones in our lives. Ruth 4:13 So Boaz took Ruth, and she was his wife: and when he went in unto her, the Lord gave her conception, and she bare a son. Madam Ruth is my case study today, I just love this babe oh. To think of the tragedy that befell her, because when we speak of Ruth we only do justice to Naomi's devastation and we are quick to forget that Ruth also had a tragedy on her hands. She lost a husband to whom she bore no child for. Yet she just decided that she loved her mother in law so much and she'll happily serve her mother in law. She had no husband expectations but she resisted leaving like her sister in law and stayed with Naomi. She was like if na to chop indomie or if na to soak garri then let's go.  She was also endeared to Naomi's God an
