HAVING THE RIGHT ATTITUDE FOR DIVINE MANIFESTATION
n today’s enriching episode of Joy to the World, Pastor Michael Essiful draws powerful lessons from Ruth 1:6-7, focusing on the essential role of attitude in positioning ourselves for God’s divine manifestation. Through the story of Naomi, who, even while in Moab, anticipated the move of God in Bethlehem, this sermon teaches us how our posture, mindset, and decisions prepare the ground for encountering God’s supernatural provision.
The sermon opens with the image of Naomi hearing that the Lord had visited His people by providing food. Though in a place of loss and grief, she chose to believe in the possibility of restoration. Her anticipation of rain in Bethlehem, even while still in Moab, illustrates the first vital point:
1️⃣ Look Forward to Your Expectation of God
Pastor Michael emphasizes the importance of having an expectation—an inner readiness that believes God is still at work, even when the circumstances are bleak. He dives into the richness of the Hebrew word for “heard”, explaining that it means more than simply perceiving sound. It can also mean:
- To hear intelligently – with understanding and discernment, not just passivity.
- To hear to obey – allowing what you hear from God to provoke action.
- To hear to tell or influence – sharing the word with others and letting it shape your direction.
Naomi didn’t just hear about God’s move—she responded in faith.
2️⃣ Set on Your Way Toward God’s Manifestation
Pastor Michael continues by teaching that expectation alone is not enough; we must act on what we believe. Naomi set out from Moab toward Bethlehem, the place of promise. This required both decision and discipline.
- Decide to go on the path – Make a deliberate choice to align your life with where you believe God is moving.
- Behave as such – Live in a manner consistent with your expectation, showing that you believe God's word by your actions.
This episode is a call to believers not just to wish for divine manifestation, but to prepare for it with the right attitude—an attitude of faith, action, obedience, and movement toward God’s promise.
