There are several verses in the Bible that explain that the last will be first, and sometimes a selfish feeling might appear because you may be perseverant God’s work but there are other who don’t have been too much time in God’s path, but this is the last chance that God is giving to His ministers to finish this race successfully; certainly this is the chance in which we have to receive what God wants us to have, like Joseph got married during the abundance time. In Gn 41:22 LBA God was showing to Pharaoh that from one ear, six ears will emerge and grew between it, so the abundance will be reflected before his eyes. And we have to learn that we have to be able to see the abundance. The abundance of ears The church has to reap as Ruth, because she went to the field of Booz and she work hard, and there are seven attitudes that Ruth showed but we can compare them with seven men as well. 1.- Booz 2.- Joseph 3.- Jacob 4.- Gideon 5.- Samson 6.- Aaron 7.- Baal-Salisa
1.- Redemption 2.-Vision 3.- Blessing 4.- Provision 5.- Victory 6.- Worship 7.- Multiplication
1.- Ruth 2:2 2.- Ruth 2:3 3.- Ruth 2:8 4:- Ruth 2:15 5.- Ruth 2:17 6.- Ruth 2:19 7.- Ruth 2:13
In Ruth 2:2 we can see that Ruth asked for the instruction of her mother in law, before going reaping to the field of Booz. This is teaching us that we have to ask for the instruction of the minister before going to another field or if we are going to make a very important decision. In that verse the word that is used is shóbel H7640 which means flowing, or the bottom part of the dress of a bride, so it means that it was a long dress the one that was wearing or doing, because a wedding was going to happen, and we have to be prepared for this wonderful time in God. There are three groups for the ones who are going to be reaping in the fields and we have to consider the group who is working (Ruth 2:15 FTA), and one important detail that we have to pay attention is that Booz saw that Ruth was working in his field and he let those ears on the floor so he could see her work, because he was seeking for a hard-working woman, and we have to be a hardworking people of God. Certainly God is seeking for a hard-working Bride and before the wedding an honor time is coming, but we have to be characterized by a humble heart, while we work in the field of God. Ruth’s mother in law noticed that Ruth only had one measure of ears (Ruth 2:7), but she advised her to go with Booz. And then we can in see in Ruth 3:15 that Booz gave Ruth six more measures, and at the end she could received abundance from her Beloved, because she accumulated seven measures of ears. In Ex 25:31 we can see a candlestick and how it’s made “And thou shalt make a candlestick [of] pure gold: [of] beaten work shall the candlestick be made: his shaft, and his branches, his bowls, his knops, and his flowers, shall be of the same.” These candlesticks are the ministers of God who light His people, because the wind that comes from the South will take the ministers who have the lamp with the six arms (Job 25:29). In the Bible we can find several spirits (Is 11:1-2 LBA), and if we continue working hard in God’s work, He will help us to get the other six spirits (Gn 41:38), the relationship and communion with the Holy Spirit is going to help you succeed the final test so we can receive the other six Spirits of God, and the Holy Spirit is the one who will help enter in the abundance land. Each ones:
arm of the candlestick represents one of the Spirits of God, and there are the following Knowledge. Advise Wisdom
Intelligence Power fear
Let’s notice that Joseph had the other six spirits. “And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, Forasmuch as God hath shewed thee all this, [there is] none so discreet and wise as thou [art]” Gen 41:39 But the most important facts are that Joseph received a spirit of advise (Gen 41:33) and he fear God (Gen 42:18) because there are ministers who think that they had succeed with their own work, and they forgot the power of God. There are five candlesticks in the Bible that are related, in Rev 2:5 R60 “Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.”

If you don’t repent from your sins, God will remove your candlestick out. Now the question is: how is your candlestick? As ministers, we have to take care of what God has giving you, and when we have a repentance attitude God will help you to keep the Holy Spirit candlestick. There is one Spanish version that says in the last verse that the candlestick will be changed by God. Jesus Christ lives between the seven arms of the candlestick if your ministry has a candlestick (Rev 2:1), God will support and remain between you. Moses went up to the mount of God (Num 8:4 LBA), so this means that while we go up to the mount of God through praying, worshiping and having a communion with the Lord, God will show what to do with the Church of God, and God will give you the model and pattern that you have to follow on earth with His people; that model can’t be found on earth, just between the communion and revelation of God. In the Bible are several characters that had a candlestick. For example: Candlestick Character Samuel
Ministry Pastor
Elisha Moses
Prophet Evangelist
Daniel
Teacher
Zachary
Apostle
Characteristic He could recognize the voice of God through his authority. He spoke the instructions of God. He went up to the mount to receive the instruction of God, to His people. He could interpret the written message from God’s hands They can teach the correct instruction of God, and give the sound doctrine for His people.
Verse 1Samuel 3:3 2Kings 4:10 Numbers 8:4 Daniel 5:5 Zachary 4:2
The repentance attitude will help you to remain that candlestick on fire, so the Holy Spirit can be in you. When you have a candlestick the abundance of God will be there, with the wisdom, peace, joy, instruction, etc., of God.
