How can we face any opposition and problem with our faces shining at the same time?

Peace to you, dear friends!I thank the Lord for the regular opportunity to share with you the word of wisdom from the Lord. The Bible says that wisdom makes a person’s face to shine. Therefore today, I would like to talk about how we can overcome shame and dishonour in our lives.
„Those who look to him are radiant; their faces are never covered with shame.” (Psalms 34:5)
The wisdom that makes a person’s face shine is hidden in this Scripture. How can we overcome dishonour and shame in our lives? How can we face any opposition and problem with our faces shining at the same time?The Scripture mentioned above teaches that it is necessary for us to look unto God by entering into His presence and learn to draw strength and wisdom from Him. Let us look at the life of Moses. Moses’ face was shined when he descended from the mountain where he spent time conversing with God. This is what Psalms 34:5 is talking about. Those who looked unto God and met with Him were definitely enlightened. Such people will never be disgraced.
„ 28 Moses was there with the LORD forty days and forty nights without eating bread or drinking water. And he wrote on the tablets the words of the covenant-the Ten Commandments. 29 When Moses came down from Mount Sinai with the two tablets of the Testimony in his hands, he was not aware that his face was radiant because he had spoken with the LORD.” (Exodus 34:28-29)
After Moses descended from the prayer mountain, he even did not know his face was shining. It is not compulsory that we know or see how this happens to us as well. All we need to know is that God says that those who look to Him will definitely radiate light,- the light of God’s glory and majesty. This is what will separate a person from every shame and dishonour. Dear friends, this is the word of God for you today: look unto Him, learn to spend time with God, learn to be in God’s presence, and then you will see that your face will start shining. Enemies will not be able to overcome and gain victory over people who spend time with God. May God bless you!Until tomorrow! Pastor Rufus Ajiboye

  • Ignorance is a matter of personal choice

    If a person does not fulfil this duty, he won’t have enough light to see evil and hide from it. Besides, this verse tells us that such a person (he or she is called „simple”) goes ahead and is punished – not by God, but by his own ignorance. Ignorance separates a person from the life of God, because he knows nothing about God’s provision. «..having their understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God, because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart» (Ephesians, 4:18).Because of ignorance human mind is darkened, heart is hardened and he himself is alienated from the life of God.

    We concluded that we are hands, feet, mouth and heart of our God. If we refuse to collaborate with God, He will not be able to act or fulfil His plan in our cities and our countries. We stopped at what do we have to do in order to witness spiritual revival filling our cities? To make it happen we must become obedient disciples of Jesus Christ. God uses this kind of people to fulfil His prophesies and restore His will on Earth.Obedient disciple is one who moves and works for God, not sitting and doing nothing, so God can move through such person.

    «All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations…» (Mathew, 28:18-19).Jesus told us to walk through this life, being armed with the understanding that all God’s authority is behind us. The will of God for us contains prosperity, health, salvation (both for us personally and for our families), peace and harmony; the will of God is for all people to come to salvation and knowledge of truth. But too often we see discrepancies in many areas of our life. Those areas where the will of God is not fulfilled are actually ruled by the devil; somehow we have given him a place and control over these areas.

    «And the Lord had given the people favour in the sight of the Egyptians, so that they granted them what they requested» (Exodus, 12: 36)When God gave favour to the children to Israel, in one day they took away from the Egyptians an enormous amount of silver and gold. For 400 years the Israelites had worked in Egypt as slaves; they were mocked and oppressed. However, in one moment the favour of God restored to them everything the Egyptians were holding back from them. In a blink of an eye they were made rich.
