Analyze your work and your days! II

ByPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 3 minutes
Good morning, dear friends! I bless you this day in the name of Jesus Christ! Yesterday we talked about how important it is to stop and assess our activities.Despite the fact that God is perfect, He stopped and analyzed things He had done. If God stopped to give account to Himself, then we – sinful people – absolutely need to do it. I am sure God has given us an example of daily and repeated analysis of our lives. Today I would like to talk some more about it.In order for us to analyze our day, first of all we need to see that God had a plan of what He wanted to get done. He had a plan, a dream, and a vision of the world He wanted to create. We cannot effectively analyze our day and our life without a concrete plan. You need to start your analysis with a question about your plans. Ask yourself: „Do I have a plan for my life?” Let’s start with a single day, – do you have a plan for this or the next day? If you do, then ask yourself whether this plan is based on God’s perception of your life? Does your plan include God’s vision of your life? Does this plan bring you closer to the goal of God in your life, or you live the way you like without any plan or design? Does this plan bring you closer to what you want to become and to the goal you want to reach in your life? If you do have a plan, you have to ask yourself the following questions: What is going well and what is not? What is going right and what is not? What should I change? Should I repent of some things and what I want to thank God for? What will my next steps be? What am I doing tomorrow? If you won’t analyze your life on a consistent basis, continuously comparing your plans with the will of God for your life, you will end up wasting your life, but that is not the will of God for any of us.I pray for God to give wisdom to every one of us so that our lives would be effective and bring joy to us, to God and to the people around us. Be blessed! We will continue tomorrow.God’s peace to you! Pastor Rufus Ajiboy

    Let’s look at the steps that Solomon took in order to find the meaning of life. We will see what conclusions Solomon came to. The first thing Solomon turned to was acquiring of wisdom and knowledge. «I communed with my heart, saying, „Look, I have attained greatness, and have gained more wisdom than all who were before me in Jerusalem. My heart has understood great wisdom and knowledge.” And I set my heart to know wisdom and to know madness and folly. I perceived that this also is grasping for the wind. For in much wisdom is much grief, and he who increases knowledge increases sorrow» (Ecclesiastes, 1:16-18).

    Do you know that you are not all you could be yet? Only the Lord knows who you are created to be and He wants to make you become who you are really created to be. That is why He said “I will make you”.Peter and His brother were created to be Fishers of men, but they did not know that until they started to follow Christ.The bible said they straightway left their nets, and followed him. Their destiny was changed that very day. That was the point the Lord began to make them into who they were created to be.

    If we are aware of the authority of Jesus, if we identify ourselves with His rule and submit our lives to it, then we can walk in the name of Jesus and crush under our feet all those things that do not fit the will of God and come up against it. And we will see victory!I pray that the Lord would help us all to grasp the true meaning of the lordship of Jesus. When we proclaim “Jesus is LORD!” having the proper understanding, then it brings changes into our lives.

    «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.

  • Put to death therefore your members which are on the earth

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 4 minutes
    “Put to death your body”- means letting the resurrected life that dwells in you spring its roots. By feeding our old sinful nature we strengthen it and as a result of this the sinful nature prevails the resurrected life inside us. In opposite, when thinking about things that are above ans seeking those things we enable ourselves to celebrate a victory over sin and the old nature.Quite often, when somebody hears that he has to put his body to death he says to himself: “I can´t do it!” This is the voice of your old nature. Though, let me share the good news with you – the Bible says, when Christ reveals Himself so will you in His glory, and your new life will be transformed into abundant life. If we have fellowship with God, seek things that are above and reason about Him, then Christ will definitely reveal Himself in our life.

    “ And he said unto them, The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath: 28 Therefore the Son of man is Lord also of the Sabbath”In this short statement of Jesus Christ there a very important lesson is hidden for us. God is saying here that the sabbath was made for manand not man for the sabbath.In life it is often possible to observe such a picture where by those things over which man is meant to dominate, are dominating over him instead. This distortion of the order established by God often result in many tragic problems in people’s life today.
