0:41 Speaker 1: Welcome to Fuel for the Soul with John Gifta.

0:46 Speaker 2: Hello everyone, Welcome to this edition of the Fuel for

0:48 Speaker 2: the Soul with John gift of podcast where I'm going

0:50 Speaker 2: to talk to you today. As we have been doing

0:51 Speaker 2: this series about understanding the favor of God upon our life.

0:56 Speaker 2: Today I want to talk about an important aspect because

0:59 Speaker 2: the last couple of day we've been talking about with

1:01 Speaker 2: regard to the favor, we are saying, you know what,

1:03 Speaker 2: the favor of God will enable you to be at

1:05 Speaker 2: the right place at the right time. The favor of

1:07 Speaker 2: God will take you places you can't go on your own.

1:10 Speaker 2: The favor of God will cause the right people to

1:11 Speaker 2: show interest towards you. There's there's so many things to learn,

1:14 Speaker 2: you know, the favor of God will open doors just

1:16 Speaker 2: for you. I mean, I really challenge you to go

1:19 Speaker 2: back and listen because there's so much to unpack and learn.

1:22 Speaker 2: And you know, these may be simple principles, but to

1:25 Speaker 2: remember in your life is so important because that's where

1:28 Speaker 2: the key is. And today, one of the things I

1:30 Speaker 2: wanted to understand about the favor of God is in

1:33 Speaker 2: line with yesterday when I was talking to you about

1:36 Speaker 2: how the favor of God caused Ruth and Boas to

1:38 Speaker 2: meet to be at the right place at the right time.

1:40 Speaker 2: It so happened that of all the fields, Ruth went

1:43 Speaker 2: to Bois' field. It also happened that on that day

1:46 Speaker 2: when she went, at that moment when she went, boys

1:49 Speaker 2: happened to be in that field, and Boas tended to

1:51 Speaker 2: be good to Ruth. So you know, the arts of

1:55 Speaker 2: her her going to the wrong field or Boas you know,

2:00 Speaker 2: of being on leave that day or something like that. Yes,

2:02 Speaker 2: the thing, you know, God orchestrated it. But yes, the

2:04 Speaker 2: thing I wanted to understand right, the favor did not

2:08 Speaker 2: come on Ruth when like she was just going through

2:11 Speaker 2: her nursing her woods. It wouldn't have been on her

2:14 Speaker 2: life if she had just sat at home and complained

2:17 Speaker 2: about life. The favor came when she got up and

2:21 Speaker 2: went to the field. Like this is a simple message,

2:23 Speaker 2: but some people are praying for favor, Like let God

2:26 Speaker 2: open her door, then I will take a step. Let

2:28 Speaker 2: God show the answer in some way. Let him bring

2:32 Speaker 2: somebody into my life, let him bring a divine connection,

2:34 Speaker 2: let him created an avenue for me, or let God

2:38 Speaker 2: do something. Then I will take a step. Then I

2:41 Speaker 2: will make a move. If Ruth had sat there to

2:45 Speaker 2: telling more Naomi, listen, you know, if you know somebody,

2:48 Speaker 2: can you connect me me? Then I will take a

2:50 Speaker 2: step and go. No, no, no, no, yes thing. Even though

2:54 Speaker 2: Naomi knew about Boas she didn't even tell Ruth about Boaz,

2:58 Speaker 2: but yes the thing. Ruth did not wait for Naomi

3:00 Speaker 2: to connect her with somebody and then she would take

3:03 Speaker 2: a step, even though she didn't know anybody. Even though

3:07 Speaker 2: this is an all new country, everything is new for her,

3:10 Speaker 2: she was willing to stoop down and go. She went

3:14 Speaker 2: to the field. See, the favor came because she moved

3:17 Speaker 2: the favor was evident in her life because she moved.

3:20 Speaker 2: I want to share another scripture with you, and I

3:22 Speaker 2: want to emphasize this because if you look at Psalm ninety,

3:25 Speaker 2: verse seventeen, it says, may the favor of the Lord

3:28 Speaker 2: rest upon us, establish the work of our hands. For us, yes,

3:33 Speaker 2: establish the work of her hands. Understand something here, because

3:36 Speaker 2: there's one group that's like, you know what, I'm waiting

3:38 Speaker 2: on the favor of the Lord. I'm waiting for God

3:40 Speaker 2: to show up. I'm waiting on the Lord to do

3:42 Speaker 2: a miracle. I'm waiting for divine connections. I'm waiting for

3:44 Speaker 2: God to show up and show out in a certain

3:46 Speaker 2: area of my life. But the problem is they're not

3:48 Speaker 2: taking any steps. They're not doing anything. They're not moving today.

3:52 Speaker 2: My challenge to you is very simple. It's time for

3:54 Speaker 2: you to make a move. It's time for you to

3:56 Speaker 2: take a step of faith. It's time for you to

3:58 Speaker 2: get started with where God is leading you, what is

4:00 Speaker 2: available in front of you, the move that you can make,

4:03 Speaker 2: the step that you can take. When you do that,

4:05 Speaker 2: God will lead you. When you do that, then you

4:08 Speaker 2: will see the favor of God establishing the work of

4:10 Speaker 2: your hands. When you do that, you will see divine connections.

4:13 Speaker 2: When you do that, you will see God open doors

4:15 Speaker 2: no men can shut. And this is a simple lesson

4:17 Speaker 2: that I want you to remember in any area you're

4:19 Speaker 2: praying for a miracle, are you doing what your need

4:21 Speaker 2: to do? Are you on the move? Are you taking

4:24 Speaker 2: the right steps? Are you doing what you know for

4:26 Speaker 2: the best of your ability? That there is nothing that

4:29 Speaker 2: you're just sitting idle and expecting God to do. Because

4:32 Speaker 2: when you do your part, the Lord is going to

4:34 Speaker 2: enable you and show you and shower you with this

4:36 Speaker 2: favor that's going to take you places that you cannot

4:39 Speaker 2: go on your own. And men, God bless you guys.
