Greetings to you, dear readers, on this wonderful day! God makes every day anew, and His mercy is new for us every morning!We are talking about importance of our hearts being filled with God’s Word that is full of grace and life of God.
«A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good things, and an evil man out of the evil treasure brings forth evil things» (Mathew, 12:35).
In Gospel of Luke, the same idea is expressed differently:
«A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart brings forth evil. For out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks» (Luke, 6:45).
Some people continually blame others and their hearts are full of negative things, fear, insecurities. The reason is that they have allowed these things to enter their hearts and settle in. Whatever you let in, the same things also goes out.Therefore, it is very important to feed your faith by being filled with God’s Word. If your heart is not full of God’s Word, then in hard times you will have fear, unbelief, anger and vengeance coming out of your heart.Not long ago I received a letter from a very close person. He asked me to agree with him in prayer for God to send down fire and judgement on those that have been acting against him and hindering his success. Immediately I told him that I wouldn’t pray for that. I told him that I would pray for his adversaries to live and see how God blesses him. David once said:
«You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; you anoint my head with oil; my cup runs over» (Psalm 23:5).
That is the kind of prayer I like: that God would prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies so that they could see that nothing is able to stop the grace of God in my life. My enemies do not determine my destiny; it is God and my heart that does!Once Jesus wanted to pass through one of villages of Samaria, but the people did not let him. Disciples offered Jesus to destroy these people by fire how it happened in the days of Elijah, when the prophets of Baal and the armed people that Ahab sent to arrest Elijah were destroyed. So the disciples based their actions on the Scripture. But Jesus told them that He was not sent to destroy people’s lives, but to save them. Jesus asked His disciples what manner of spirit were they of if they wanted God to destroy their enemies. God calls us to love our enemies, to pray for them, to bless those that curse us, to feed them if they are hungry. So Jesus wanted His disciples to understand an important truth: their enemies are not strong enough to change their destiny.If you guard your heart and fill it with God’s Word then nobody will be able to change your destiny! There is nobody that can stop you!Guard your heart, because out of it flow the issues of life!Till tomorrow!Pastor Rufus Ajiboye

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.

In order to hear God’s voice, it is necessary that you learn to stop and calm down – calm down your mind, feelings, emotions, and only then you can hear what God says to you. When you learn to hear God’s voice, not only will you have eternal life, but also life in abundance, which is concealed in you. There will be problems, but you will be able to rejoice, because you will be sure that your God has an answer for any question, your God is able to solve any problem. Human mind tries to calculate everything – how are all things going, how everything must happen. Our minds work like fast processors. But the problem is that situations appear in our lives, and we cannot solve them. What happens to our mind-processor then? It falls out.
