Reward of Virtue

Transcript:

Greetings in Jesus precious name, I am reminding you today that the Lord has a reward for you, the Lord has prepared a blessing for you. What you are going through today is not in vain and it will not go to waste for the Lord knows what you have sacrificed and knows everything that you have been through to reach where you are today. If you allow Him and allow this process to mould you, if you will not get tired in this journey and not give up then at the right time you will see the harvest and at the right time you will see the blessing and at the right time you will see the Lord lift you up, at the right time He will bring the answers to the problems and challenges in your lap, in your homes and in your family. Everything you are doing, the Lord will turn it around for your benefit at the right time.

Ruth 3 verse 11 says “Don’t worry about a thing my daughter” this was told to Ruth just as Jesus to His bride. God is saying don’t worry about a thing in this season. It can be natural for us to worry especially this pandemic that is raging all around us. It is natural for us to be doubting everything that we hear in church and every promise over our lives. God is saying this is a season for you not to worry. I know that you have logical reasons to worry but God is saying don’t worry even about a thing so let us be intentional to choose to respond with faith instead of fear. Let us bring every worry in our heart to Jesus and let God answer those worries with promises that are going to quench those worries out.

Whenever I worry, I take out the word of God and start to read. The other day I was very low in my spirit and instead of reading the Bible, I started to play some worship songs. The first song that came up was an answer to my spirit and God was speaking to me through that song and that was all that I needed to remember the promises of God in my life.

Today, instead of continuing to add fuel to the doubt and worry that you have can we go into the presence of God and let the Lord help you to quench your worries. He is saying don’t worry about a thing my daughter, I will do what is necessary. He will take care of your necessities, He will give you the provisions you need and every blessing that needs to fall into place and every person that needs to be removed or added into your life, He will do everything that is necessary.

God knows your needs even before you pray for them. God is assuring you and saying I will do what is necessary. Will you trust Him, will you truly believe what He is saying to you and about you. God is speaking this over you today my dear friend that He will do what is necessary and it will be a testimony for you and a blessing for you. Your pain and struggle are not in vain and He knows how to turn it around for your blessing and He will do what is necessary. It says “for everyone in town knows that you are a virtuous woman” this was Boaz speaking about Ruth. Now Ruth she was a virtuous woman all along and it came to a point where now everybody in town understood and knew and had a revelation of her virtue.

Now, this is a blessing I am speaking over you in your life, your personal choices, your values and the places where you have made sacrifices and the consecration you had to do in your own personal walk with God in your marriage and personal relationships and your finances, your personal virtues; may they be publically acknowledged, celebrated and even imitated in the days to come.

You may not want anyone to know the details of your personal life but there are those virtues that you have in your personal lives, the value systems in your life God is going to cause those things to become public so that others could imitate you and praise you and celebrate those values in your life. Now these virtues were tested, she was a Moabite woman and her husband died and 10 years of marriage she was childless and then she had to leave her parents land and she had to come to Bethlehem with Naomi and there she had to work on her own to try to feed Naomi and herself and until now did not see any results of her life because of her virtue. She had been persistent, consistent and insistent and making sure she doesn’t give up. Now if we were in her place you and I would have given up a long time ago but God noticed that she was a virtuous woman and she was virtuous in spite of the times and seasons of her life. In the trying, challenging and difficult times of her life, she continued to hold on to her virtue.

May that be our story that if we will not give up in this season, and if we will not stop doing the right thing and that in the appointed hour and that time of harvest; God will send the rain and harvest will come and blessing will come and not only will everyone know that we are virtuous but we will receive the reward of that virtue. This woman Ruth would ultimately become the grandmother to David and the great grandmother to our Lord Jesus.

My prayer for all of you is that today your life will manifest great things but in the journey don’t get tired because God is saying “don’t worry about a thing and I will do what is necessary now I’m going to make sure that everybody in your town and home and in your nation knows your virtue”. Don’t give up on your virtues and be consistent in your pursuit of what God has created you for. I pray this will be a blessing for you in your day ahead!
