MY EXPOSITION ON THE BOOK OF RUTH

By Prophet CLAUS
RUTH CHAPTER 1 TO 4

CHALLENGES
1.       There can be famine in the days of the Judges;
The fact that you serve Christ doesn’t mean you will not face challenges in your life. It is to be expected and treated in the right way so that you don’t get displaced. 
2.       Don’t change your divine abode because of challenges because there will be consequences; Naomi lost her husband and two sons just by changing places. You have to be solid and stay where the Lord has placed you; quite easy for people to just pull out of church because somebody misbehaved towards them. Yet, you know your blessings are there, dig your feet in.

3.       Return if you have been displaced;
Naomi had the good sense to return when she saw that here divine abode was now in the cycle of success. Have the humility to return if you have been displaced, home is home. Reconnect with your area of blessing.

FOLLOWERSHIP
4.       When you follow you get lifted;
Somebody brought you into Christ, somebody must follow another person. We were not meant to be islands. Your success is tied to somebody. When you find that person you will be lifted up. Ruth followed Naomi and got a great husband in the process.
5.       Who you follow determines the trouble you face;
Every anointing has its enemies. The mistakes that Naomi made cost Ruth her husband. Leaders are not perfect; you follow them with wisdom, if not you can even loss big time. Insulate yourself against such losses by following with smart mind.
6.       Your leader has the foresight to see the direction of your blessings and show you how to obtain it;
Discuss your encounters or projects with your leader and one advice or phone call can turn your situation around for good.

HARVEST TIME
7.       What you desire and focus on is what you get;
This is a true statement, what you see in your mind is what you get. Firmly convert your desire into a picture in your mind and keep seeing it and it you will get it.
8.       In the time of harvest history determines your favor;
What success have you chalked behind, what good reputation have you built, that is your certificate for admission to new threshing grounds.
9.       Your blessing is located at a particular location; this location is both physical and spiritual;
There are some cities that you will have success in all the time, some places you can’t succeed. The spiritual location refers to the spiritual gifts that you have the grace on your life to perform. If you can stay with what is given you, your success will abound.
10.   When things die in your life, check it, you might be outside your jurisdiction of success;
It is not every place that you can make it. Every person is suited for a particular place, stay there.
11.   The results you get from your harvest is determined by your handwork;

 Ruth threshed all-night. When you have the opportunity to serve, give it your all. Quantity is determined by handwork.
