Title: The power of commitment to a Godly vision.

“But Ruth 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 ‭NKJV‬‬.

Ruth saw through her mother in law's nagative attitude and saw the God of Naomi. 

When the other sister in law Orpah  decided to return to her own people and to go and worship idols in Moab, 

she refused and clang to her mother in law.

Point of Reflection:

What did Ruth see and what was she after? While Naomi was a very negative woman, 

Ruth saw through all that and realised the God of Naomi was the true God of Israel, Jehovah, the only true God.

 She made up her mind, husband or no husband, she was not going back to worship idols.

 She committed herself to follow after the vision of serving the true God. 

Almighty God proved Himself God, He honoured her commitment.

 Not only did Ruth get married to Boaz, a God fearing and blessed husband, she was made by God 

to be the most blessed woman in her generation by becoming a great,  great grand-mother of the Messiah Jesus Christ. Wow-glory to God!

 In Matthew 1:5-6 (NKJV) we read in the genealogy of Jesus Christ:

  "Salmon begot Boaz by Rahab, Boaz begot Obed by Ruth, Obed begot Jesse, and Jesse begot David the king.

 David the king begot Solomon by her who had been the wife of Uriah.”

She also has a book in the Scriptures named after her.

Not only that- today  marriage vows across Planet Earth are done using the words of  commitment

 which  Ruth declared to Naomi. Glory be to God forevermore.

Do you desire to commit to a Godly vision?

 Do you desire to commit your life to Jesus Christ and to do His desire and will on Planet Earth?

 God will honour your commitment in ways that will blow you away.

 He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him (Hebrews 11:6).

 When you are ready-

Prayer of commitment:

Heavenly Father in the name of Jesus Christ, I thank you for sending me your

 one and only Son Jesus Christ to suffer and die for my sin.

 Today I believe on the name of Jesus Christ and confess the risen Jesus Christ as Lord of my life. 

I reject, denounce and renounce every working of the enemy satan and his demons upon my life.

 I ask you Father in the name of Jesus Christ to fill me with your Holy Spirit right now. 

I receive the abundant outpouring of your Holy Spirit upon my life.

 I set myself apart to do your will and to accomplish your purpose on Planet Earth. 

On this day O Lord, we raise one voice to you in corporate prayer and ask you to stretch forth your hand

 to manifest the power of the Christ, the Anointed One, in whom is all dominion as we send your word across Planet Earth. 

Move by your Holy Spirit, save, heal and deliver your people from every bondage of the enemy, satan.

 Manifest your power in undeniable miracles and raising of the dead through the preaching of your word. 

Raise men and women of commitment to your cause, men and women of power and vision across Planet Earth, 

In the name of Jesus Christ we pray. Amen.

Year in Focus

2026 The Year of Almighty God's Special Treasure

2026 is the year of Almighty God’s special treasure.

In this year, Almighty God wants you to engage with Him as a person after His own heart who desires to accomplish His purpose, plan and will.

A person who seeks the burden of Almighty God as you pray and intercede, as you witness the love of Jesus Christ through your various platforms 

and as you exercise faithful stewardship of your time, of the mysteries of God entrusted to you and of substance.

His word tells us in Psalms 89:19-23:

'Then You spoke in a vision to Your holy one, and said: “I have given help to one who is mighty; I have exalted one chosen from the people.

20 I have found My servant, David; With My holy oil I have anointed him,

21 With whom My hand shall be established; also, My arm shall strengthen him.

22The enemy shall not outwit him, Nor the son of wickedness afflict him (NKJV).

23 I will beat down his foes before his face, and plague those who hate him.'

In 2026 there is help ordained for you from Almighty God. You have been waiting upon God with your heart focused on Him, on establishing His hand on Planet Earth.

Receive the help of God. Let the anointing of the Holy Spirit flow upon your life as you meditate on His word.

What you need to know: 

Our Almighty God is a faithful God, that means He is trustworthy, He is dependable and follows things through.

His word tells us:

'He who calls you is faithful, who also will do it.' I Thessalonians 5:24.

'Behold, I am with you and will keep you wherever you go, and will bring you back to this land; for I will not leave you until I have done what I have spoken to you.' Genesis 28:15 (NKJV).

'Blessed be the Lord, who has given rest to His people Israel, according to all that He promised. There has not failed one word of all His good promise, which He promised through His servant Moses. ' 1 Kings 8:56 (NKJV).

Remember:

'God is not a man, that He should lie, nor a son of man, that He should repent. Has He said, and will He not do? Or has He spoken, and will He not make it good?

20 Behold, I have received a command to bless; He has blessed, and I cannot reverse it.' Numbers 23:19-20 (NKJV).

(see also Isaiah 46:9-11, Isaiah 14:24-27)

What you need to understand and have a revelation of:

There is in the calendar of God something called the fullness of time.

His word tells us:

'Then the Lord answered me and said: “Write the vision and make it plain on tablets, that he may run who reads it.

3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time; but at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.'

Habakkuk 2:2-3 (NKJV).

Remember also:

'Now the sojourn of the children of Israel who lived in Egypt was four hundred and thirty years.

41And it came to pass at the end of the four hundred and thirty years—on that very same day—it came to pass that all the armies of the Lord went out from the land of Egypt. 'Exodus 12:40-41 (NKJV).

In fact, it was precise to the second- at midnight, at the stroke of midnight first-borns were struck and Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron and said -Go and serve your God.

We read in Galatians 4:4-5:

'But when the fullness of the time had come, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the law,

5  to redeem those who were under the law, that we might receive the adoption as sons.' (NKJV).

In your life and in the Ministry, you need to wait upon Him, but while you wait be busy doing what needs to be done today.

What you need to do-

a) Keep your eyes on the word of God.

His word tells us:

'Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.' Colossians 3:16 (NKJV).

'Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, “If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed.

And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.' John 8:31-32 (NKJV).

b) Be conscious of the presence of the Holy Spirit in your life.

We read in John 14:15-17 (AMPC):

' If you [really] love Me, you will keep (obey) My commands.

16 And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Comforter (Counselor, Helper, Intercessor, Advocate, Strengthener, and Standby), that He may remain with you forever–

17 The Spirit of Truth, Whom the world cannot receive (welcome, take to its heart), because it does not see Him or know and recognize Him. But you know and recognize Him, for He lives with you [constantly] and will be in you.'

c) Be in prayer.

His word teaches us:

'Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints—

19 and for me, that utterance may be given to me, that I may open my mouth boldly to make known the mystery of the gospel, ' Ephesians 6:18-19 (NKJV).

d) Remember your personal prayer agenda with God.

His word teaches us:

'Then the Lord said, “Hear what the unjust judge said. And shall God not avenge His own elect who cry out day and night to Him, though He bears long with them? I tell you that He will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will He really find faith on the earth?”' Luke 18:6-8 (NKJV).

Psalms 91:15 tells us:

'He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him and honor him.' (NKJV).

Almighty God has promised to answer you as you ask in the name of Jesus Christ.

Much grace and peace be multiplied to you.

In the service of Jesus Christ.

Apostle Dr Max and Joyce Matonhodze.
