DETERMINATION.

Text:Ruth 1:16&17 NIV.
   But Ruth replied, “Don’t urge me to leave you or to turn back from you. Where you go I will go, and where you stay I will stay. Your people will be my people and your God my God.

    Where you die I will die, and there I will be buried. May the Lord deal with me, be it ever so severely, if even death separates you and me.”

Memorize:Phi 4:13
  I can do all this through him who gives me strength.

Message:
  Someone said 'determination is the soul of success'. Determination is the drive that moves you to do certain things even in the presence of opposition and challenges; Ruth said do not urge me to turn back,because she's determined to die with her mother in-law, every child of God needs this kind of determination to live and follow Jesus to the end.
  You need to be determined about;
1. You must determined about your faith,will you join the modern Christianity when sin and nakedness doesn't matter or stand for old religion?

2. You need to determine if God didn't give you wife,husband, children, wealth,good job etc on time will you still follow him sincerely without helping yourself through other means aside God?

3. You must determine about things you eat and what you must not eat no matter your conditions, determined not to eat free food from sisters or girlfriend discipline your self so that you will succeed in life,determined not to run to families to beg for money,determination will make great people respect you even when you have nothing.

4. You need a determination about your future,academics and career don't because of the money you're getting from your present business or Job forget you can be better in future if you educate yourself or get more training: don't be a local champion!

Note:
  Determination is the Jet of all achievements and success, a man that can't determine can not 'STAND OUT'

Prayer:
  I receive grace to have good determination and power to stay disciplined in Jesus name
