The importance of our faithfulness to God

ByPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 4 minutes
I greet you in the name of Jesus Christ and pray that mercy and grace of the Lord be multiplied unto you this day.We talked about God’s desire for us to be those that expand His Kingdom on this earth. God is very serious about fulfillment of His will on earth as it is in heaven, about establishment of His Kingdom here, on the earth. We also talked about the fact that if we want to take part in spreading God’s Kingdom we must take the position of overcomers in Christ. Yesterday we shortly examined some instruments that we can use to walk in victory over our enemies. We named three things: the power of the blood of Christ, the power of our testimony and the commitment to God.Today I would like to discuss the importance of our faithfulness to God. Let’s turn to the Word of God:
«The ten horns which you saw are ten kings who have received no kingdom as yet, but they receive authority for one hour as kings with the beast. These are of one mind, and they will give their power and authority to the beast. These will make war with the Lamb, and he Lamb will overcome them, for He is Lord of lords and King of kings; and those who are with Him are called, chosen, and faithful» (Revelation, 17:12-14).
This passage has a very deep meaning. The process of spreading God’s Kingdom gets us involved in a cruel war. The enemy mobilizes powerful and united army to cast down the influence of God’s Kingdom in all the areas of society. Satanic army will make war with the Lamb by fighting His Body – the Church. The enemy will fight the believers, committed disciples of Jesus Christ.This war is already going on, and you and I are in the very middle of the fights. We can feel it in our lives and in our country. But I will not like you to just think about the war, think rather about the end results of the war. In his spirit John saw the results of the war; – the Lamb overcame the army of the enemy. Jesus is King of kings and Lord of lords, and as such He will never lose! I think none of us have any doubts or questions about His victory.But you should really see that His victory is not only based on Him being the King and the Lord, but also on the faithfulness of the people with Him. Together with His faithful saints, the Lamb has the victory.
«.. and those who are with Him are called, chosen, and faithful» (Revelation, 17:14).
In order to join the army of victors in Christ Jesus, it is important for us to be qualified in these three areas: in your calling, in been a chosen vessel and in faithfulness. Tomorrow we will talk about it in detail, but today I’d like you to see that the war is inescapable; but in this war God counts on His called, chosen and faithful people.Are you going to be a part of God’s army who is involved in the war in which the victory of the Lamb is already guaranteed? Are you going to take part in the victory of the Lord so that His Kingdom can penetrate all the spheres of our society?Make a firm decision today to be a part of God’s army. Realize that we already have the victory and that is the position we fight from.Until tomorrow!Be blessed!Pastor Rufus Ajiboye

    One of the important habits that we need to develop is to pray daily. Prayer must become habitual. God desires to teach us how to forsake bad habits and to develop good ones.Some people have a habit of wasting time. They may know that they need to pray, what they need to pray about, what prayer does etc, but they still don’t pray because they seem to lack the time, since they waste their time on wrong, unfruitful things – TV, computer, telephone conversations and so on. We must make an effort and find the time to pray.

    «Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded. Lament and mourn and weep! Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to gloom. Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up» (James, 4:8-10)From the verses above we see that sin and adultery distance a person from God and block His presence, His power and glory from manifesting. So, besides prayer, there are other things that bring us closer to God and bring His presence into our lives: those are repentance and commitment to live a holy life.

    When we are hospitable, when we are willing to help people and to share with them what we have, when we do everything in our power to make our guests feel comfortable, when we minister to people from the bottoms of our hearts, then we, as God says, unwittingly show hospitality to angels that bring God’s gifts and blessings to people. By casting people off, we can also reject God’s angels.

    Let Him talk to your heart today. We keep on talking about how we can experience God´s presence, power and His mercy in our life. Yesterday we stated that constant fellowship with God is mandatory in order to experience these things. We quoted many verses from Scripture telling us that people who love God have obvious advantages. For such people God has prepared many pleasant surprises and all things together work for good in their lives and God Himself appears to them.«We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose.» (Romans 8:28).

  • Preparation is a key to effective life!

    In reality, effective life is impossible without appropriate preparation. Jesus solved the question of effectiveness by preparing Himself for the ministry. There is almost no information about what Jesus had been doing during the first 30 years of His life. Gospels tell us the story about His ministry. Meanwhile, we need to understand that prior to starting His ministry Jesus had been seriously preparing himself for quite a long time.

  • Your attitude influences your progress

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 4 minutes
    The judgements, the beliefs, and the convictions of a person influence his attitude and this attitude has an effect on the progress we make.The man in the parable did not multiply his talent because he had the wrong attitude. This man believed lies rather than the truth. That is the lies which many people believe, which become an obstacle to their progress and development. The lies can go something like, “no one loves me”, then any attempt from people to show love towards you, will be rejected. A person believing in lies from the enemy will not be able to accept blessings, help, and advice from others, as all this would be misinterpreted.
