Being a Christian is a responsibility

ByPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 2 minutes
Dear brothers and sisters! Today, I want to challenge each of you to become more responsible. Not only the world or the church need responsible people, but also God. Being a Christian is a responsibility. God lifts up and raises exactly those who agree to become responsible. Jesus speaks on this in the next passage: 
«For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath. And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.»(Мatth.25:29-30)
Irresponsible people lose their positions and everything that they own; whereas responsible people multiply their influence and grace. If you want to experience rise from God this year, then make a decision to become responsible in all the spheres of your life. By the way, the church membership is a responsibility too. Every member of a church has a duty to get acquainted with aims and tasks of the church, let it through their hearts, let it overwhelm you and bind the aim of your life with these Godly aims in order to honour God with your life every day. God has promised to honour those who honour Him. 
«Wherefore the LORD God of Israel saith, I said indeed that thy house, and the house of thy father, should walk before me for ever: but now the LORD saith, Be it far from me; for them that honour me I will honour, and they that despise me shall be lightly esteemed..» (1 Sam 2:30)
 
«If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will my Father honour.» (John 12:26)
 Behold, therefore I can surely assert that everyone who takes upon themselves responsibility and honour God with their lives, are already walking the road to be raised by God. I wish you accomplishments and success on this road. Until the time we meet again! Pastor Rufus Ajiboye

    God has created us in His image and likeness, and He made us to be His children and He has separated us for Himself. God brought us into His wonderful light, into His Kingdom – through Jesus Christ! God has created us in Christ Jesus for good works, which He has ordained for us to do! This is alone is enough to give us a reason to be greatful to God. None of us deserve all these benefits, but God – because of His great love for us – has done all of these things for us in Jesus Christ. And God gave every one of us gifts and talents, so that we could expand His Kingdom and serve Him with His talents. God promises to bless us abundantly as we work and serve in His Kingdom.

  • Organization of effective prayer life III

    Prayer is getting close to God.Let’s look at James (4:8): «Draw near to God and He will draw near to you…».Prayer means to consciously draw near to God. Prayer means to approach God on purpose.Who of you wants to draw near to God? Who of you desires for God to draw near to you? God cannot be closer to you than He is. But you can draw near to Him. God is so close to us; He says: „I am here!” You are asking: «God, where are You?” Remember when Elijah ran away and cried: «God, where are You?” But God was with him. God is everywhere! And we can draw near to Him through prayer.
