"I returned and saw under the sun that the race is not to the swift nor the battle to the strong, neither is bread to the wise nor riches to men of intelligence and understanding nor favor to men of skill; but time and chance happen to them all. [Ps. 33:16-19; Rom. 9:16.]" Ecclesiastes 9:11 AMPC
This morning I want to be dancing to a tune in my head that has been there for years. It is my anniversary and yes 19 years of marriage to a lioness and an alpha female is an incredible feat. They lead the pack and do not back down. I broke my usual routine and I am listening to Burna Boy and Ed Sheran croon into my air buds. I feel like Na'omi this morning choosing to find rest for her special child Ruth. See that journey to salvation and redemption is only possible without Faith and hope. I want to be in your life until the night is over, I want to hold you closer, closer and rightly tightly too come I closer. Whenever I'm broken you make me feel whole… I could go own but this was not a dirge but a love song Engrafted Love.
Ruth was unselfish as she gleaned at Boaz farm so also was Naomi when she saw the fruit of her labor on her return and she decided she needed to settle Ruth into a home. Truly love covers a multitude of sins. Naomi acted as though Ruth was her daughter and not a daughter in-law. Marriage is almost universally looked forward to by young persons but you see, Naomi desired that her daughter in-law might find in marriage with Boaz. She sought a Home to ease her pains and wandering about, she wanted Provision which would deliver her from misery and temptations of the life of poverty. She ultimately desired her to be Happy and comfortable with a pious companionship. As a parent about to have my first daughter follow my second daughter into marriage I feel very protective and do not want them to suffer loss of any form in their homes. So I tell you to take thought about your children and do not allow them pick and choose companions and friends as well as life associates by chance. Nothing could be more disastrous than such a move. In fact it is safer to connect within your circle and not outside your circle.
Real love like the Engrafted Love is a decision. It is not an action. In fact love is not a feeling you feel when you feel a feeling you have never felt before! True love is a combination of the action and decision that made Ruth make the profound statement in chapter one. Your people would be my people. She became Engrafted by those words she professed. Marriage is a deliberate act that I choose to serve in your life and forsake all others. That move led Ruth to obey the advise mama Naomi gave her. In fact as I said the other day, Ruth made the first move and honestly that settled her future. Chapter 3 entirely covers this journey into the passionate love that would later produce David and even Jesus the Christ. Elimelech and his sons died but it did not stop God establishing Ruth because of her confession. So I ask ladies what is your confession?
We asked my kid brother Jude and Eniola last night some questions and they truly are friends who are both alphas and almost didn't get married until they moved out of their comfort zone. Eniola made that profound sacrifice on the altar of self and he said she knelt down to speak with him which is not her natural disposition and it was at this point he knew he could not live without her. Now this was a typology of what Ruth did. You see when a woman uncovers a man's legs she is telling him protect me and be a cover over my life. In short Oga! Marry Me! Boaz picked up the gauntlet immediately. Only coward men take advantage of a woman's advance towards them. This is an exception to the general rule and I swear I married mine for keeps omo! That first move is a clincher, not many pick the keys of time differentials to enter special time dimensions that settle the future. This is another message entirely and one day we shall speak about the portals of time that open to us. A year has I think 7 or 9 such cycles.
Ruth moved and that led her to the tranquility of marriage and rest. God's ultimate plans are for the redemption of you and I regardless our experiences folk. Indeed Burnaby and Ed got me today…Whenever I'm lonely, you're there for my soul Wherever you are, girl, that's where I call my home Whenever you doubt it, I'll be lettin' you know… Whoa, girl, I want to be dancin' with you forever You see through the storm and take me as I am Baby, it's magic any time that we're together I make I just love you and hold you for my hand… Hold you for my hand, my hand, my hand Hold you for my hand, hold you for my hand… Over and over again, yeah, my love is burning, baby Feels like time is frozen and the night is for us And we're alone again and every moment's golden, yeah Feelings I've been holding in, it must be love…can you imagine the transformation that churned through Boaz an aging man for a beautiful damsel to pick him to have and to hold until death does pat them. He was a shroud business man and quickly negotiated his path to marriage. That we shall discuss tomorrow. We are planning a podcast Kyenpiya and I as well as a book titled the NAKED TRUTH! (Rebuilding Broken Walls Of Marriage). We will be vulnerable so that homes can recover. God heal homes of the varying sins that have damaged pure love. In Jesus name I declare! Amen! This piece is dedicated to my time and chance Madey Kyenpiya Jessica (Ife mi) Sarauniya ta na kwarai and I want to be in your life until the night is over…Happy 19 years of marriage. God heals homes today. Shalom
PS. This year have nothing to offer save myself Nana, but anyone who needs to talk we are open. Can't take you for a date and you and I alone know our waka my Queen!
