Daily obedience to God in different areas of your life will bring you to your calling III

ByPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 3 minutes

Greetings to you, dear readers of „Daily Word for Spiritual Edification”! By the great mercy of God we are given an opportunity to feed our hearts on the living Word of God. God is light, and there is no darkness in Him! The light of God’s Word enlightens us and makes us wise.

Today we will continue talking about what we do with our talents. Let’s turn to Jesus’ parable about talents. It talks about the master and his three servants who received talents and assignments from their master.

The master called his servants.

«For the kingdom of heaven is like a man travelling to a far country, who called his own servants…» (Mathew, 25:14).

God has a specific calling for every one of us. But He only calls those people who acknowledge His lordship.

«For the kingdom of heaven is like a man travelling to a far country, who called his own servants and delivered his good to them»(Mathew, 25:14).

I want you to notice that the Lord called His servants. What people have received their calling? Servants. What does it mean to be a servant? A servant is one who belongs to his master. In old times a servant totally identified himself with his master; sometimes he even had his master’s surname.

A very important meaning is found in this idea. If we say that we belong to the Lord, then we will be able to hear His calling. But if we still belong to ourselves, then we are not His servants. You must become the servant of God and not of a man. When we prayed the prayer of salvation, we announced that Jesus has become our Lord and Master. We said, «I receive Jesus Christ as the Lord and Saviour of my life». What does that mean? It means that Jesus has become my Supervisor. It means that now I belong to Him and that I have lost the right to control you own life and have passed this right to Jesus; so I proclaim Him to be the Lord. Now it is not me who rules my life; it is Him. Jesus does not call someone else’s servants; He only calls His own. He only calls those who belong to Him. He calls those who fully identify themselves with Him and realizes that they no longer belong to themselves, but only to the Lord Jesus Christ.

If you desire to find out what your calling is and to start walking in it, then, first of all, be obedient to God on a daily basis; secondly, let Jesus to become the Lord in all the areas of your life.

It is our honour and privilege to have Jesus Christ as our Lord, since He is the King of kings and the Lord of lords. The lordship of Jesus does not humiliate and limit a person; quite the opposite is true, – it exalts and adorns human life.

«Blessed is the man whose strength is in You, whose heart is set on pilgrimage» (Psalm 84:5).

May God bless you today in a special way!

Till tomorrow!

    “At the last days” – said Jesus – “the world will be full of hatred, sin, betrayal, resentment and bitterness.” Those who are not able to walk in love will experience serious problems at the last days – faced the power of sin they will not be able to fight it, get emotional injuries shortening their lives. Such people will end up with heart attack and nervous breakdown caused by the stream of evil, hatred, betrayal, rebellion and ingratitude over-flooding the world at the last days.

    Heaven is the place from which Jesus rules and reigns over everything. What God says about us in His Word is the truth which we must believe. Now we have God’s nature in us and it must be continually fed and nurtured. We must believe that now we have heavenly authority and power that was given to us in order to destroy the works of devil on earth. That is what Jesus did when He walked on the planet earth: He destroyed and undo the works and intentions of the devil. He set an example for us to follow in His foot steps:«For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil» (1 John, 3:8b).

  • Your surrounding has an impact on you, it determines whether you enter the destiny God has prepared for you or you don´t

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 4 minutes
    How and with whom you spend your time reflect your consecration and desire to do God´s will. Looking at the life of Jesus, we can see whom He preferred to spend most of His time with, namely, those who similar to Him desired to do God´s will. If you surround yourself with people who are not going anywhere in this life, you will soon lose your purpose and direction in your life as well. Spending a lot of time with those who have no revelation about their lives soon also you won´t be able to see the goal of your life. Exactly these things happened to Abraham. God called him out of his country, his relatives and his father´s house to the land God showed to him.

In the Bible we see that Jesus also talked about the importance of unity.

    I want to begin this word with a story: A man had a wonderful garden that brought him a rich, abundant harvest. When his neighbor saw that, he decided that the next spring he would make a garden for himself too. But after the neighbor had sawn seeds in his garden, he did not do anything there afterward. He did not water his garden, did not cultivate, neither loosened the soil. When the autumn came, his garden was neglected and full with weeds. And, of course, it did not bring forth any fruit.
