Analyze your work and your days!

ByPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 3 minutes
May the peace and grace from the Lord Jesus Christ be multiplied unto you today! Today I want to talk to you about the need to analyze your work and your days. I would like you to see God Himself doing it when He was creating heaven and earth; we can read about it in the first book of the Bible – Genesis.God analyzed and assessed His work before making the next step in His plan. It is a very important principle: periodically we need to stop and look at the things we are doing. It is important to analyze what we have: Is it what we expected? Is it what we wanted? Is it good enough or we need to work more to make improvements? In Genesis we see God doing it again and again.
«And God saw the light, that is was good; and God divided the light from the darkness. God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. So the evening and the morning were the first day» (Genesis, 1: 4, 5).
«And God called the dry land Earth, and the gathering together of the waters He called Seas. And God say that it was good» (Genesis, 1: 10).
«And the earth brought forth grass, the herb that yields fruit, whose seed is in itself according to its kind. And God saw that is was good» (Genesis, 1:12).
«God set them in the firmament of the heavens to give light on the earth, and to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness. And God saw that it was good» (Genesis, 1:17-18).
Quite frequently God assessed what He had done. The Bible says: «And God saw that it was good».Other translation says: «And God saw that it was attractive, appropriate and He approved of it».  The creation matched with God’s original design, so it was good. If we don’t learn to stop like God did to analyze what we are doing and where we are going, then we might end up in a totally different place, not at the intended destination, and we might get something we did not plan to get. It is so easy to get distracted, to get involved into all kinds of entertainment and futile things; that is why we need to stop once in a while to check and analyze what is happening in our lives, whether it is good or bad, should it be changed or not, is the direction of our lives right and good. Let’s assume that in the beginning of the year you had a plan, a desire or a particular dream and you enthusiastically began carrying this plan out. But six month have gone by and you must stop and ask yourself: «Am I where I wanted to be or not?» If we do that daily like God did, we will be able to avoid wasting of time and resources and avoid making fundamental mistakes. I believe this insight will help you. Stop today and think: “Where is my life going? What have I accomplished?” May God give you wisdom and speak to you so that you could assess your life and change things that need correction.Be blessed! Till tomorrow!Pastor Rufus Ajiboye

  • The power of compassion

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 4 minutes
    Today I would like to talk about the power of compassion. If we look at the life of Jesus as the image of God – and that is Who Jesus is, – we will see that Jesus was motivated by compassion. When we are moved by compassion, we can’t be idle and barren. Our world is full of problems and God is calling us to work to solve them. We are His representatives on the earth. We are the Body of Christ on earth, so anything that God wants to do here He does through us.Looking at the life of Jesus we see that He never was idle. Every time when He wanted to be alone and relax after long hours of ministry, people would find Him and ask for help. And He never rejected anybody. Many times we read in the Bible: «He had compassion and ministered to them». He went from town to town, because He was anointed to bring solutions where problems were.

  • Piety II

    Calling upon God – means to have habitual prayer life. Prayer helps us to draw near to God and releases His provision, because He is close to all who call upon Him. We also talked about the fact that our provision depends not only on our ability to call upon God, but also on how much we fear God. To fear God means to avoid evil, to do good, to seek peace and to follow it. God’s provision and blessing is the reward of those who fear Him. We also pointed out that God has secrets that are meant for dedicated people who call upon His Name and walk in the fear of the Lord. Besides all of the above, it is important to know that dedication to God is impossible without the love for Him.

  • The devil as the source of tragedy

    You might want to ask why the devil (and not God) is the ruler of this earth. The answer is that God entrusted the rulership of the earth to humans for a time and He cannot take it back before the set time. «May you be blessed by the LORD, Who made heaven and earth. The heaven, even the heavens, are the LORD’s; but the earth He has given to the children of men» (Psalm, 115:15-16).

  • On what does your destiny depend?

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 3 minutes
    We mostly think that our destiny is determined by other people or how they act toward us. Or we think that destiny depends on the circumstances that surround us or things that happen around us. But it is not true, and God does not think that way! God knows that the circumstances in your life won’t define your life. What people do or do not do to you cannot determine your life. Your destiny is defined by where your heart is. Thus, God tells us that we have to guard our hearts with all diligence.

  • God changing us through discipline

    I believe that discipline is one of God’s tools that help us to change and achieve effectiveness in our personal lives and ministry. Every one of us has a dream or a goal for our lives. But however good or grand these plans or desires are, discipline is a necessary prerequisite for these things to come to pass. Many ideas and desires never come true because people lack discipline.

    «Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness! ’» (Matthew, 7:21-23).
