That All May Know - That you are moving to your next chapter | Balaji Sivapiragasam

You're listening to a message to go from axt church.

We hope this message will light up your day.

The topic is that all may come on talk to me,

that all may So the subtopic of it is that

you are moving to your second chapter. What is the

second topic? Subtopic? Come and turn to somebody and say

you are moving to your second chapter. I see somebody

not somebody not even moving? So can we turn? Can

we move? Move to the other person and say you

are moving to the second chapter. You're moving to the

You know, first chapter may not be good. Your first

chapter that has finished just yesterday may not be good.

But let me tell you your second chapter is going to

be good. Your first chapter may have had pain, but

your second chapter is going to have gain. Your first

chapter may full of sorrow, but your second chapter is

going to be a joy. Your first chapter may be

with ashes, but your second chapter will be with the

joy of gladness. Yeah, you're missing a few plays where

you can say amen.

Yeah.

Yeah, so your first chapter may not be healthy, but

let me tell you your second chapter is going to

be full of health.

Come on, guys, take it to yours.

Yeah, your first chapter may have full of struggle, but

your second chapter will be full of favor.

You're getting warm up. I know, I know, it's okay.

Your first chapter may be full of struggle, but your

second chapter will be with ease.

Yeah.

So there is always a first chapter and there is

always a second chapter. So I just came back from

yesterday in a Christian leadership conference. Came late and we

were from twenty five different countries and we were about

sixty three participants. All of them are one of the

top leaders in the world. When I say top leaders,

they are literally top leaders both in the world as

well as in the ministry, the judge of the Highest Court,

some senators, and few countries. So we all were Christians

and it's a Christian leadership. One thing that one of

the one of the sessions is that we speak about,

you know, how God touched us. Two common things were

very very common. Two things were common. Number one, they

were not touched by ministry. They were not touched by church.

They were touched by the love of God through people.

Makes sense to you.

They were never touched when somebody said, oh I sat

in the in the in the in the church, I preached.

No.

No, somebody you know, like why he came to the churches,

that Sunday school teacher, that friend of mine. You know,

even in guitar story, this Geita has given food to

her to him and that broke the eyes for for

that man that he became.

He's attending church.

So it is not the church in the church that

brings people to the church. It's the church in the

people brings people to the church. Makes sense to you.

It's not the church in the church brings people. It's

the church in the people brings people to the church.

The first question is are you the church?

You know? Church? H? You are H? Yeah, H you

are H. That between the H and H is you

are is that?

Is that making sense sense to you? That's the spelling

of church, right, H you are.

H.

So you are the church.

And and if the church is not full, don't blame Satan,

who is in between. So we are responsible for the church.

So that all may know that you are moving from

the first chapter to the second chapter, like I'm going

to spend some time in establishing the history of this book,

and when we are going to the next You know,

Ruth is if I remember correctly, I mean, correct me

someone if I'm wrong. It is the only book in

the Bible which is mentioned after a gentile name. I

don't think other names are. I haven't done my work,

but I just felt all other names were where the

Hebrew name or all other names were from the Israelite,

you know, like Jewish. But only name that is not

Jewish a gentile name is Ruth. I mean, correct me

if I'm wrong. Okay, it's okay. We are learning together.

So something that is very very important. I like, I mean,

as I mentioned to you, my throat is not good.

My power slide PowerPoint is much more not so good.

So you guys needed to help me out.

Here.

My second daughter, aDNA Rasa, who is wearing the mass,

promise to make the slide.

She did it. Thank you, Rasa. So that's okay.

So can you can somebody read the last verse in

the Book of Kings, not the Kings. Judges. Yeah, Judges,

that is the book before Ruth. Please read the Book

of Judges, the last verse, the last verse of the Judges.

Help me out, and someone also please take the book

after Ruth will be one. Samuel helped me to read

the first two words, and someone also read for me.

If you don't read, I will point out and you

will stand up on the chat to read. Okay, so

also read the last five verse of the Book of Ruths.

So first let's go the last verse of the Book

of Judges. There was no king in Israel, and everyone

did what was right on their own ice. Right there

was I mean, that's what a way to finish the Bible.

There is no king in Israel and everyone did what

was right in their own ice.

You know, like that is the.

Period where this this this book is coming in. When

you do not have a king, you will do what

is in your heart. One thing, something that is something

which is very important for us to understand is when

there is no standard, what you do is the standard.

Is that is that?

Okay, when there is no standard, what you do is

the standard. When you don't stand next to somebody who

is the average height of a Malaysian, even someone as

short as okay, mind don't need to mention, can be

the highest, can be taller.

That's that's that makes sense. So when there is.

No king, everyone did what was right in their eyes.

I mean, I feel I am tall enough, but standing

next to Jeff I may feel like and.

Am I Alan?

Yeah, I'm so I forgot you next. You know, you

may feel that you are smart till you stand next

to me. Come, that's okay, that's okay telling the truth

in the church. So everyone did what was right in

their eyes. That's that's very that's a very sad state

to be. You know, what makes what makes me to

have hope in you is that you are here and

you have a king. And because you have a king,

your heart will be set right.

Is that okay with you? It's okay. You're here because

you know, for you, the.

King is Jesus. For you, the beginning is Jesus. That's

on a Sunday morning. For you, your tithe is the King,

that's Jesus. So because you have a king in you,

you have the Kingdom of God you and that's that's

that's what I just picking up from what.

Sister Gita was saying.

You know, like she started tithing and that she had

full not because she works harder. Because the Kingdom of

God will be given Siki for us, the Kingdom of God,

and it will be taken from you. What all these

things shall be added unto you till then Geita was

the king. Sorry, Queen Geita was there king to her salary.

So her salary may not be enough. But the minute

Geita gives her kingdom to the King of kings and

the Lord of lords, there is no lack in the

in the in the Kingdom of God, and all these

things shall be added on to you.

It is it okay with you?

So all, So every one date what was right in

their own eyes. So can I take more than a wife? Yeah,

because it is right in their own eyes. Can I

rob Yeah, they can't do it because it was right

in their own eyes. Can I judge people wrongly? Yeah,

because there is no judge in that world. And that

is the time where the Book of Ruth is written,

and that is the time that this story is coming in.

Are tell me, is this good time to be born?

I mean war and the rumors of war?

Is that okay?

Earthquakes and the flats and can you believe like what

somebody goes for a shopping and swallowed by the land.

It's not a good time. But this is a time

where Ruth is born. And I pray and I hope

and I ask God that each one of us will

be the Ruths in this country.

Is that?

Don't blame Satan. Please, poor guy, I mean, yeah, you

blame for everything. I go out of out of the

house in the try. I curse you, Satan, seriously. Let

him be alone. Let him be alone. Leave him alone.

He could not even come into the presence of God

without the permission. You and I can go to the

King of King and sit next to him because we

are in Christ. So everyone did, you can go to

the next life. Everyone did what was right in their

own eyes.

Is that right? Is that right?

And how does the Book of Samuel comes in? Can

somebody read the Book of Samuel the first.

Three or four vers Now we do Bible reading. A gentleman, please,

there was a certain man of the who.

Okay, and he this guy did not have a child.

I'm just reading connecting. And somebody read the last few

us five verses of of the Book of Ruth again, yeah,

last five.

Vers Ruth Ruth chapter four verses eighteen to oh no

versus Yeah, okay. Now, these are the generations of Paris.

Herest fathered Hesron Hesron father ram Ram father Amin a

dab Amin a dab fathered national national fathered salmon salmon

father boas BoA's father Obed, Obbed father Jesse and Jesse

Father David.

You don't need to worry even if it is wrong verse.

Preachers can manage it, that's okay. So the one of

the things that you may want you to know is

the last verse of Book of David.

Book of Rue ends with David, you know the heart

the beloved of God.

The previous chapter ended everyone does anything their heart found

correct and the last chapter Versus of Ruth finishes with

somebody who is after God's born heart.

Beautiful, isn't there?

It's a place where where where the connection between judges,

where they do anything and everything according to their heart

to the beloved of God is being formed. And in

the Book of Samuel you will see interesting interesting chapter.

There is a woman and this woman is not having

a child, and there is to make things worse. What

will you say the wife the one who troubles her.

The other wife of Elcanna.

So the other wife of Elkanna is is making fun

of her because she didn't have child. Right, it's very

depressing chapter to start with. How do you start with?

Or somebody is fighting who asked them to marry to

that's their problem, right? So anyway, so the most interesting

thing that you will see in the Book of Ruth.

It's connection between the judges where everyone did what was

right according to their own eyes. And then it comes

to the chapter of Samuel. Interesting because this is the

guy who is going to anoint the man after God's

own heart.

It's God's own heart. Is that is that okay with you?

You may want you to go to the Bible and

take the first few verses of Book of Ruth. Right,

Paul read for me Book of Ruth the first five

chapter verse.

Yeah.

Book of Ruth chapter one, verse one. Now it came

to pass in the days when judges ruled that there

was that there was a femine in the land, and

a certain man of Bethlehem, Judah went to dwell in

the country of Moab. He had his wife and his

two sons Verse two. The name of the man was Elimelech,

the name of his wife was Naomi. And then the

aims of his two sons were Marlon and Chillon Efratus

of Bethlehem Judah, and they went to the country of

Moab and remained there Verse three. Then Elimelech, Naomi's husband died,

and she was left with and her two sons.

Amazing voice, Paul, God bless you something.

The reason that I started with this message is the

first verse of Book of Ruth. I mean the Book

of Ruth start in the days when the judges ruled.

That means everyone did whatever they want heart want right

in the days, a severe famine came upon the land.

So a man from Bethlehem in Judah left his home

and went to live in the country of Moab, taking

his wife and two sons with him. I just wanted

to end. So is this possible famine is because of

the judges, because everyone did what was right in their

own eyes, and that could have caused the famine.

Is it okay?

When the king rules, he rules for the people. When

you judge yourself, we rule for ourselves. So there is

a famine. And when there was a famine, the judges ruled,

a severe famine came upon them. So a man from

the house of God, that's the Bethlehem, right, Bethlehem is

house of God. That's the meaning of Bethlehem, the house

of God in Judah left the house and when to

live in the country of Mab. You, if you remember,

Mob is not a very good country. Backstory lot, the

son I mean the brother of Abraham, the nephew of Abraham,

had conceived Moab through his own daughters. Okay, that's the

decent way I can tell in church correct Lort conceived

through his own daughters. More and Bible whenever talks about

merv is always Christ in the sense like they should

not come into the temple for ten generations.

That's that's how bad it is.

So the house the man you know, interesting, the name

Elkana means hell is God, God is my king.

So this guy is leaving.

The house of God and goes into the world, and

there was a problem there. Sometimes we think, hey, I

am going to go into the world. Let me not

come to the church on Sunday morning, let me sleep

for a while.

Uhhah. That's the first step that the enemy is taking hold.

So in those days, severe Famen Cape saw a man

from Bethlehem and Judah left his home and went to

live in the country of Moya, taking his wife and

two sons with him.

Sister next life. What caught me why.

I started reading this book and why I thought I

will share the word with you is if if any

of you are good in English, you mean the easiest

way to put is. The man's name was Elimelak, his

wife Naomi. His two sons were Mahon and Killer. But

I think the version is very very interesting. The man's

name was Elimelach. And which version is this, sister, King jamession?

Is it?

Sorry? Okay? Can you just go to King James version please?

So it takes the name of the man is Elimelac,

and his wife name is Naomi, and the name of

his sons, it will be like the name of the

sons will be malone and quillion. So purposely the word

name is mentioned again and again the name, the name,

the name correct.

So that is how it will be. Is that is

that right?

King James version will go like this. The man's name

was Elimelak, and his wife was Naomi. The two sons

they were next line, next next verse. Please so the

Elimena's name, so that the word name made a lot

of sense.

Why is this name?

Why is it it should be in the previous other books? Right,

the word of the God came to Isaiah, the word

of the Lord came to Jeremiah. It will never say

the name of the man is the name of all that?

And if you see the ending verse also talks about

the names of those kings. And you will see in

the last I mean when you read in the first

chapter of Naomi Naomi, I mean again, there are a

few things that you will you will read, Okay, I'm

going to give you the story where Elimelac goes I

mean Naomi. Elimela goes out of Israel with Naomi, his wife,

that he has two sons. These two sons will marry

two women, Oprah and Ruth. And something happens where Elimelak

dies and the two sons also dies, living through trinity

of women Naomi, Ruth, and Oprah, and nothing is there.

So Ruth I mean Naomi will decide, I am going

back to Israel Jerusalem, and now one lady will say.

Oprah will say, okay, I'm going back home, but Ruth

will cleave because she wanted to follow Naomi.

This is the backstory, is it okay?

And when she comes back, people will say, oh, Naomi.

The word the name meaning Naomi means pleasantness. She will say,

don't call me pleasant, I am bitter. So she will

call instead of Naomi, call me as bitter. Okay, that's

that's the worst. So this is the story. Many people

will give many interpretations. That means the Israel I mean

Naomi is is is God's I mean God's wife, which

is Israel she leaves or no, when she leaves the

Kingdom of God, that means elimelak die when the king dies.

The sons is the Israel is divided into two.

That means Judah and Israel, and both of them die

leaving the Gentile Church to come. So that is another

way of symbolism. That is how Bible was talking about.

Right. So the Ruth the.

Gentile I mean they went into the Gentile They call

Ruth as the Gentile Church and Naomi as the Jewish Church.

When when she returns back, she always will bring a

blessing along with the Ruth. So that is another side

of the story. Now the most important thing that we

need to understand is this is not a good first chapter.

They leave the country. They was a femine.

They was a death of two sons, and now they

are coming back. That is what some of our life

might be like this. Everything seems to be not so good.

They may be a famine famine in the joy in

your heart. They may be a famine famine of not

having enough in your finances. They may be a femine

that you do not have good health. There may be

something that has been missing in your heart.

Is it is it okay? So far, so good?

They may be some of us will be like Naomi,

we don't want to even call ourself as pleasant. When

you look at yourself in the mirror, you may feel

I failed. I should have studied better, I should have

worked hard, I should have taken you know, like there

is a time where you may wanted to blame yourself.

Some of us may not be good because we may

have lost our children, some of the children when we

say children, something that you have done. Your business may

have collapsed, your houses may have been taken, your marriage

would have been broken, your boyfriend or girlfriend would have lost.

Something has been died and you have no other choice.

And this sometimes, you know, like sometimes God allows things.

He doesn't do things.

God allows things in your life because you want to

make sure for you to know who is your king,

you need to know who is your king.

You need to know who is your anchor.

Now Naomi knows it's not the Moyab country which is

going to be the anchor, but she for her to

come back to Israel? Is the anchor? Interesting enough? She

did not come back alone. I wanted to ask you.

I wanted to ask you.

Why would roots? Why would Ruth wanted to come with Naomi?

Naomi lost husband, two sons, no money?

Is that right? Or not? Nothing? They what talk to me? Guys?

I need a break for my throat?

What could have attracted the Ruth to follow Naomi? Why

would Ruth follow Naomi? For Ruth maybe good? She may

not have a good parent. Maybe not have a good

So why would Ruth followed Naomi?

Not a good parent?

I mean, uh, the Jewish the Jewish history says, uh,

Ruth and are sisters and they were the que I

mean they were the princesses of that country.

But could be possible? That could be possible? They did

not I have a good parent.

What could be other reason that Ruth, the Moabite woman

to follow Naomi? She tasted God? How and if that

God was true? How could my husband died? My father

in law died?

Nothing? Hope?

Why would want Ruth wanted to follow Naomi? What could

be the possible causes?

Luthovia not in the house.

No, no, Usually I will say yes to you, but

not today. No, no, I mean I agree to the

call destiny all that, but when you have lost the husband,

when the lost the father in law, everything is lost.

I don't think we will have this destiny tying moment. Aha,

moment won't be there. Makes sense to you?

What would have attracted Ruth to follow Naomi to the

people of Israel, Yes, of course there could be.

What could have attracted amazing.

I don't think anything else, but naomis something in Naomi

is so attractive that Ruth, in spite of not having

a house, not having a husband, not having even money

or riches, not having a hope that I can get married,

not even Israelite, not even anything that is every single

possible disadvantage that rule might suffer. But she still followed

Naomi because deep down in her heart, she knows something

is different about this woman. This woman has something that

attracts me. In spite of all my brokenness, she is

following him.

Can you go to the next.

Light place, Ruth? The first chapter had the loss of

the husband. Yes, correct, Ruth, the first chapter has a

disadvantage of being a foreigner. As much as we love Malaysia,

we are blessed with Malaysia, we have been so so,

I mean, is there all their foreigners here? Do we

feel that there is a slight disadvantage not being a

Malaysia Yeah, yes, let's be But Malaysia is so welcome

and many of us are having.

Or legally coming. So that's.

Is there a vulnerability of being a foreigner? Have you

ever felt being vulnerable?

Yeah?

So in spite of social stigmas, uncertain future, leaving the homegown,

potential cultural and religious exclusion, no immediate support, limited rights.

Do you know, like Mobides are not even regarded as

human beings when they come to Israel. They said, don't

even allow them to come into the temple, don't they

are like outcasts.

Any other people can, but not the Moabiites.

Because they attacked Israel when they are in the vulnerable situation.

That is the anger of Israelites.

But here this Moabiite woman was willing to come because

there is something in Naomi. Hey, I don't know whether

it is God, but there's something in Naomi.

I just wanted to ask, how does ruth in our life?

Yes, when my colleagues see me, do they see the kindness?

Something about Balaji is different, Something about Jacqueline is different.

Something about Rudine is different. Yes, I am. I may

be an immigrant, I may be weak, I may be vulnerable,

I may be not so good. What is it that

makes what is it that makes me to follow him?

Why should I follow Alan? Why?

Something different about Alan? You know the the Moabites are

attracted to the God of Israel because the people of

Israel showed kindness.

Is it okay with you?

How will others know that Jesus is the Lord? Is

the kindness in you? Something in us has to be

so very different. You know that kindness is what is

the book of when you go to when you go

to the book of Ruth, right the kindness? Okay? So

the name we will see here. The name Boss means strength.

Keep this in mind. We are doing Bible study today.

The name Boas means strength. Naomi means pleasant delights. But

she will call herself us Mara. Then we are talking

about Elimelach, my god is king. Quillon means completion, Malone

means sickness, Ruth means friendship. I will come to this.

I will.

There is a meaning the reason that I have put in.

Can you go to the next like, please, okay, So

when you wanted others to know Kay and or w first,

they will know God through the kindness and compassion that

we can show. There is something in Naomi and interesting

the Book of Ruth. If you go to the second

chapter right, go to the second chapter. It's only fourth chapter.

You know, Ruth will say, Mom, I don't want to

be at home. I will go and I will work

in some field. And you know where that field is?

That field is something we can add. No, no, it's okay,

we can all no, no, okay, So we are talking

about normal kindness and compassion. Where does she work? Where

does Ruth work?

Which? Which field is she working? Verses? How did that happen?

You know there is no acts in the Kingdom of God.

Why she went to the king into biases feel is

because I feel like this.

I feel like this, you know, like I.

Maybe maybe Ruth was going to someone else's feel There

may be some wind that had turned her to the

to the to the biases.

Has it happened in your life and in my life?

I wanted to study only this course, but I was

led to do this course. I was wanting to marry

this person. I got married to this woman. All the

married men say leaders in the church, please.

Doctor Jill is not around. You didn't say amen.

You know, like I feel so happy that I'm married

to Lyttle, I need to say this, okay there. I

mean if I have had my own plan, probably I

would have been messed up more than now. So the

most important thing that we may needed to understand. Hey,

many of us, I know I study physiotherapy, not because

I wanted to study physiotherapy. Before I studied physiotherapy, I

studied BA strategic studies, I studied pharmacy, I studied accountancy,

and finally landed out to be physiotropy. You know what,

I landed up in the field of boyers because God

has a plan for you. Sometimes you may think, I

don't know what I am doing. I don't know why

I am doing this job. I don't know why I

am in this country. I don't know why I am

born to this mother and to this father. I don't

know why am I a friend to this person. Have

you ever felt sometimes all your friends say, give you

only sobbing stories, sorrowful story. I mean, someone is attracted

to something which is not so nice. So the reason

that God you are in that place. And as long

as you have made God as your king is because

God has a plan for you, the plan of blessing.

And that not, of course, and that plan cannot have happened.

If you do not follow God.

Do you remember when they throw out Jonah from the

sea right, imagine if that is not an obesity will

if it is a thin whale, Jonah would have been crushed.

Men, Is that is that okay with you?

That that whale had a big tumy where Jonah can

sit comfortably.

It's a plan of God.

The very height, weight, color, everything that you have been

made is in the eyes of God. So Ruth did

not go to any other field, but she went to

whose feel Boya ses feel, and Boya ses feel. She

was working, and that that particular day, boys comes all

other day he didn't come. That particular day he comes

and he is asking, hey, I can see this different woman.

This woman is not a Israelite? Who is this woman?

And the servant? Bible never gives the name of I

mean name to that servant. I believe that servant might

be the Holy Spirit. Like in the book of Bible.

Whenever the word nameless people they call it as the

holy Spirit. The servant says, hey, I know this woman.

This woman is so good. She always works, She does

not take rest. She is working so hard.

Is that right? Is that right? P Which way is that?

I don't know. That's why I'm asking.

So the Ruth is so hard working that the servant

takes notice. I something is special about Noah. He may

be a foreigner, but he has a very very good heart.

He is breaking the mixture, sorry, making the mixture.

He is helping in doing this work. I know why.

Paul may be a foreigner, but he is serving. I

know Elien, why is she doing this on a Sunday?

She could have gone for her long trip. So I

know something is so special, but this guy is doing

so that servant has gone and give good news.

And you know what? You know what, boys? What is

the name?

Just now I showed you what is the name? Boys

means hayes strength, his strength. You know what he says?

Not only she takes the gleaning. Purposely leaves something that's

called us grace. Purposely leave something. And when you leave it,

and she he will tell, he will tell, uh, Ruth, Hey, Ruth,

don't go and work in any other field. And work

in this field. You know, God, God always wants you

to work. I'm going to I'm going to speak for

pastor Jack. You know what, don't go and work in outside.

Work in this field, work in the homes, work in

the dream, dream teams, work in what do you call

this expresso, work in hosts, work in the church of God,

the house of God. You know, like I was wondering,

what makes Rudine to come all the way from wherever

he is to come and sit here this morning. Is

for his daughter to play keyboard bilin whatever keyboard. The

reason is he is allowing his daughter to be in

field of God. Trust me, in the field of God,

there is always a double blessing. There is always always

going to be a double blessing. So she is working there.

So Boyas said to the ruth, my daughter, listen to me.

Don't go and glean in another field. Don't go away

from here, stay here the woman who work for me.

So the most important thing is beyond anything, beyond the

cultural obligation. There is an intentional kindness that Boyas is

showing towards the woman. You know what, you and I

can be the boyas. You and I need to reflect

Christ to others. Is there any is there any ruth

in your field? Is there any ruth in your office?

They are broken, They are heartbroken, they are painful, they

are not well. Like that man with the tattoo in

guitar's life, that person who's sitting next to you, they

need you, they need boyases that all may know only

when we can show the kindness in to them.

Is that Okay? I just need to rush.

So who are the Mara figures in the field today

who are bitter and broken? You know there are bitter

this This world is full of brokenness.

This world is full.

Of people who are tired, who need you guys to

be there so ex slightly so and the other word.

You know, like I put like this, I may not

have time because we started late today. K n O

W that all may know that K stands for kindness.

And also kinsmen, Jesus is your kinsman. You know what

does a kinsmen do? The kinsman redeems you that all

may know what is the next part in this Bible?

Right?

In this story right, everyone is a normal person. There

is no David who kills Goliathia. There is no nobody

who is strong and mighty nobody is six feet seven feet. No,

they are all normal people. Naomi is a normal woman.

Widow Ruth is a normal woman, a moobide woman. Right

Bias is a normal businessman. Everyone in this story is

a normal person.

You know.

Like most important thing that we may needed to understand

is there is no abnormal people in the church. Maybe

someone may be chating today, but no abnormal person. That

God needs a normal people to do supernatural things. As

long as you can see the brokenness in you, he

has the power to bring So if anyone need to

know Christ, we need a normal people and normal incidences,

normal lives. He doesn't need somebody who can preach non

stop for twenty hours, somebody who can quote the Bible

top upside down. He doesn't need people who need who

can lift up a car to show what God can do.

He needs people like you and me. But all it

needs for him not normal people, not normal incidences, but

also those people who are obedient people.

Is it okay?

He needs normal people, but he needs people who are obedient,

those who are faithful. Do you remember what that is?

The whole story turns around. The whole story turns around

when Ruth said, when Ruth said, I mean, Naomi is

very good mother in law. Naomi will say, you know what, Ruth,

this man is my kinsman, redeemer. I wanted you to

go and work again, but this time, this time when

he is sleeping, go and hide at his feet. I'll

cover yourself with the shawl. Is it okay with you?

That's the story. That's how the book of Ruth will go.

I'm summarizing the whole. Do you know Mobiites were treated

very very badly. They are not good people, they say,

like Mobiites or not of good character. If if something

could have happened mobile, Ruth might have been called as

a prostitute who is so not so good character. But

Ruth has an unshakeable faith on Naomi, and she followed

every step of Ruth. And this is what when Naomi said,

you know what, go and be in his room. Imagine

somebody you're not married, you're young, and someone tells, you

know what, go and hide in this guy's room. After

this guy have drunk, maybe dance, eat when he comes,

go and sit or sit in his room, cover the blanket.

And you come out.

Can you can you believe what kind of kind of

situation the mother in law is telling Ruth. But that Ruth,

in spite of the background, in spite of fear, she

will follow every word that Naomi says. God might have

called you for some purpose. God may say, hey, you

know what you may want to to He may want

you to start a sell group. Oh my room, my

house is only one room. No, don't say that.

You know.

God may say, start a fellowship for maybe Filipinos. No, God,

I may be going. Don't say that this man. If

he said I don't want to be in Cyberjaya, we

may not be here. Pastor Jack started because he would

bag he was faithful.

Is that okay with you?

So the most important thing that what changed the whole story.

Remember I told you in the beginning the Big Book

of the King, I mean it's judges. Everyone did what

was right in their own eyes. Why this one is

changing to be a good scenario is because she does

not wanted to decide on her own, but she wanted

to decide what God has told her.

And Ruth took the chances.

She followed God, you know how difficult is for the

children to come to the church. Why should I follow

you that? Why should I be here? All of my

friends were going for a movie. Why should I be here?

But this is what is challenging church. If there is

anything that we may forget, if you wanted to change

the course of people's life around you, if you wanted

to change the course of your family life, if you

wanted to change the course of the nation's destiny. One

thing that is more important and most anything else, is

the step of obedience you may.

Need to take.

Pastor may come and ask, can you be an usher? No, Pastor,

I'm not good in smiling. No, that smile will come

to you.

Is that right? Pastor? Can you sing? Pastor?

I don't know any key but the car key. Just

follow at Just try. Give a chance, give a chance

to God.

To work in you.

Ordinary people given to extraordinary God shall do extraordinary things.

Is that okay? Like you come to church, you give

your time to God. God will give his own time

to you. He will bring you favor, He will bring

you anointing. I don't think David was a natural singer.

I think he wanted to sing God, and that's why

he become a supernatural singer. Is it a I may

not be a good speaker, but when it is the

will of God. And in my eyes, I think that

anointing shall carry it, the anointing in God when.

We walk with God. If you have come here.

I think to a fewer sisters, right, yeah, twins, Okay, sisters,

twins sane.

Right.

So if they are serving God, let me tell you,

people will serve them whereever, whichever country they are, because

God will say, hey, this, these two girls are serving me.

Then I will make others to serve them. That's the

way God has to work. Right, Like if if I forgot,

I'm so sorry?

What's her name? Ah?

Okay, I know my cellf group so bad? If if

Rihanna is playing the keys here and she can orchestrate

anything in the school, in the college where she works,

because she is doing it for God, and she is

doing it for God, is it? Is it?

Okay?

Makes sense to you normal people, obedient people that I

wanted to end with this storia.

So what is kay? Kindness?

And if you want to show kindness, be a kinsman

to somebody in your office, Be a kinsman to your family,

Be a kinsman kinsman. Redeems brings back to life again.

What is en stands for normal people and normal lives

is your is your life normal?

Not you?

Sorry? What does O stands for? Is that right? Oh? Wow?

Good children?

So the final word W stands for wonderful redemption. The

reason that I asked you to read the last verse

of the Book of Ruth. So and so is the

father of so and so. So and so is the

father of so and so. So and so is the

father obeyed, obeyed, brought David? Oh, David is God's own

heart Church. Do you know what the whole Book of

Ruth is all about?

Redemption? This redemption? You know this? More abide? I mean, Paul,

please help me to find the place. Do you know?

The woman will tell Naomi, Naomi, it's better than seven sons.

The last chapter of okay, Bible time, last chapter of

Book of Ruth turned to Ruth five, Chapter five, Nola

Ruth formerly okay, fine, never matter, Ruth, Ruth four, turn

to Ruth for and there is this worse it's better

than seven sons and Ruth. Sorry, Naomi became the mother

or nursing child.

Is that right? I'm doing Bible study?

Which chapter? Which verse is that? Verse fifteen? What does

it says?

Yeah? Somebody read?

Please come on, you can read amazing, right, how does

Naomi started a life? In the story lost the husband,

lost the two sons, and now the women are saying, hey,

you know what, this is better than seven sons. Let

me tell you. Your second chapter has begun. Your second

chapter has begun. Your business failed, that's okay. Your second

chapter has begin. Your health fail, don't sory. Your second

chapter has begun. You did not get good marks in

the previous tests. It's okay. Your second chapter has begun.

If you have been a failure so far, your second

chapter has begun.

Is that okay? Making sense to you?

There's four chapter turned around, not only the history of

history of Ruth and Naomi. This fourth chapter, these four

things has changed the life of Israel. Imagine if Ruth

has not obeyed God. If Ruth has not obeyed God,

we may not have David. If David was not there,

we may not have Jesus Christ. Book of Matthew. Book

of Matthew talks only about four women. Four of them

are gentles, not of good character, and one of them

is Ruth. I tell you if everyone that if we

say that all may know, all may need to know

the kindness in you, that all may know the Kinsman

in you, that all may know that your life is normal,

but you have a supernatural God, that all may know

that you are an obedient person.

And if all may.

Know all these things, they will know the wonderful redemption

of God.
