DEATH TO BOAZ!

If I hear another woman of God say she’s waiting on her “Boaz”, I’m going to scream my lungs bloody and hit her upside the head with an offering basket! Real talk! You’ve read the title, so you probably already can guess that this post is not going to be the nicest cup of tea you’ve had to drink. But you have to drink it and YES THIS IS YOUR BUSINESS!

I hate to break it to you dear, BOAZ is not coming! Boaz was for Ruth and Ruth only. Boaz was tied to Ruth’s assignment. He is not TIED TO YOURS! I am afraid that the church has cooked up this lovely fairytale that every woman has a BOAZ designated for her. WRONG!

If you go into the word, Boaz wasn’t even all that aaaaanndd Naomi helped Ruth come up with a cute little scheme to get homie’s attention.

RUTH 3:1-5

One day Ruth’s mother-in-law Naomi said to her, “My daughter, I must find a home[a] for you, where you will be well provided for. 2 Now Boaz, with whose women you have worked, is a relative of ours. Tonight he will be winnowing barley on the threshing floor. 3 Wash, put on perfume, and get dressed in your best clothes. Then go down to the threshing floor, but don’t let him know you are there until he has finished eating and drinking. 4 When he lies down, note the place where he is lying. Then go and uncover his feet and lie down. He will tell you what to do.”

5 "I will do whatever you say,” Ruth answered. 6 So she went down to the threshing floor and did everything her mother-in-law told her to do.

What happened in this scripture is NOT GOING TO HAPPEN TO YOU! Look here, when you focus all of your attention on this fairytale you will actually miss what’s really important in your walk, and that’s YOUR ASSIGNMENT! Your assignment does not have anything to do with getting married. It has everything to do with you completing God’s desires for the kingdom. Also understand this, marriage is not your end all be all. It is not a vacation destination. It is A JOB. It is a promotion into a new position in the kingdom. Which means it’s NOT a fairytale! It’s rolled up sleeves, dirty feet, blood sweat and tears!

Yes there will be romance, bliss, and love and all the other glittery stuff you like especially when the union is GOD LED AND GOD FED, but your work as a believer DOESN’T STOP. It continues and it gets a little more strenuous. It will require all that faith and patience you used while in waiting, to be used in your marriage and then some, honey!

DEATH TO BOAZ! There’s no Boaz coming for you. A co-manager is coming for you, a partner in Christ that will effectively link up with you and your assignment. Take this with you as well, your assignment will actually merge with his assignment. Why else would God even allow you all to get anywhere near matrimony status? This is also why the devil is cranking out counterfeits. It’s to throw you completely off of your assignment! The devil will use this BOAZ fairytale to distract and deter you. Get your mind off this Boaz foolery and onto your assignment!

Don’t even play either, I sense a, “I don’t know what my assignment is,” spirit rising up from some of you and I REBUKE IT! This is all the more reason for you to stop thinking about that tall dark and handsome BOAZ of yours and ask God to show you what your assignment is and even further, give you instructions on how to go about tackling that thing! DEATH TO BOAZ!

What else does this mean? That you should not be worrying your pretty little heart right now over recycled bible clichés because you got a lot of work to do outside the desires of your heart! You hear me? Get to stepping!
