Destiny Created
Determining your
Destiny
“Our determination determines our destiny.”
“Our decisions determines our destiny.”
Elimelech and Naomi had traveled to the land of Moab during famine,
their two sons married Moabite women which for a moment gives Naomi
hope in her horrible conditions. Elimelech was now dead, and ten
years afterward his two sons die. Naomi is left childless and a
widow, so are Orpah and Ruth the two Moabite women who married
Naomi's two sons. Naomi hears that the famine in Israel is over and
decides to return since she has no kindred in Moab.
Ruth 1:6-18
You must remember Ruth is a nobody in today's terms, many would look
at her that way. And being from Moab her nor Orpah should expect to
receive any charity from Israel. Ruth had no bright future, as many
would never have without the Holy Ghost and the church, but she clave
to Naomi and God. Our faithfulness and dependability determine our
true love. Orpah kissed and wept, but Ruth clave (joined, stuck together).
Make up in your mind to serve God; broken homes, divorced parents, no
matter your background your decisions and determination (your choices and your
attitude) determine your destiny. First generation or 5th
generation Pentecostal, your background and atmosphere does not always determine your
destiny. Your choices and attitude does.
Prefect atmosphere,
wrong attitude and choices
Judas- prefect atmosphere, one of the 12. Demas- Prefect situation
with Paul.
Devil- prefect situation, sinned when there was no devil. Jeroboam-
prefect situation.
Neither had the prefect attitude!
Not so prefect
atmosphere, but right choices and attitude
Moses- born in a time of death for infants, lived and chose to follow
God.
David- least among his brethren chosen because he had a heart after
God.
Abraham- called out of a idol worshiper's home to follow the true
God.
Paul- persecuted the church, God changed him.
Your determination and choices determine your destiny, not your
current circumstances.
As widows do Ruth went to glean in Boaz's field who was kin to Naomi.
Ruth 2:11-12, Ruth 4:13-15.
Boaz
Rahab, the harlot, made a decision to house spies sent to spy out
Jericho. One of those spies was Salmon, and God spared Rahab and her
family. She made a decision that changed her destiny, who before was
a nobody. She had a child with that spy named Salmon, his name was
Boaz. See destiny being created by attitude and choices.
So Ruth crosses paths with another person who came from a nobody that God
made into a somebody. And from Ruth and Boaz came a son named Obed
and from him came Jesse and from Jesse came King David. Wow the
creation of a destiny by determination and decisions to serve God.
Matthew
1:5
And Salmon begat Booz of Rachab; and Booz begat Obed of Ruth; and
Obed begat Jesse;
The Lineage of Jesus, what destiny!
God
only knows what destines can be created! We got to make
the decision, a made up mind. We can have everything going for us.

Acts 2:38, obey it!
