Take care of the house of God, and then God will take care of your problems and lift you up!

Greetings to you, precious children of God, on the pages of „Daily Word for Spiritual Edification”! I hope and pray that these encounters encourage and inspire you.

During the past several days we have talked about how we can earn God’s promotion. Every one of us desires promotion whether we talk about it or not. And there is nothing wrong with it! But true promotion comes into a person’s life when he follows God’s principles.

God sends this word for a particular purpose – to exalt every one of His children because He loves everyone the same way. I hope God lifts us up to a new level spiritually and materially. But first, the truth must be recorded in our hearts. This truth needs to be established in us to keep and guard our hearts.

Pray and ask God to show you the situations where you have mistreated people and then repent. New opportunities and new doors can not be opened for us until we repent of our sins. If you have had a raw with a loved one, then your repentance will help you to restore your relationship. If you have rejoiced over someone’s failure, repent of it and then pray for this person.

This is a very serious matter. Many things we have talked about over the past few days are prophetic. My goal is not to impress you, but to communicate God’s message to you. Ask God to forgive you. Promise Him to be a doer of His Word; commit that you won’t rejoice over the failures of your enemies. Ask God to help your enemies so that they can come in touch with His will.

Help comes from God! The level we are on right now is not the limit of what God has intended for our life. He has prepared some heights for you. He has come to lift up, to heal, and to put together what has been broken. May success come into every area of your life! The promotion comes not because of your efforts, but because of God’s love. May God take away our shame!

May God’s Spirit helps us to take into consideration what we have heard and then our lives will change and we will experience exaltation. God will test you to see whether you are worthy of His exaltation at the moment or not. This is the time of your testing. Be careful! Do not get prideful! What God has planned to do is a lot more than you can see, and soon enough it will become obvious. It will be a visible success. It will be so much more than what you have today.

God always tests those He wants to exalt. Not long ago He gave me a very important word: «When we have a problem we go to Him. When He has a problem He comes to us. He also has problems from time to time. God has no flesh and it also is a problem. We are His flesh, and He has made His abode within us. And if you have not given your body over to Him, He has a problem. God tells us to take care of the things He needs to get done in His house, and when we do that He takes care of our things.»

Some of us won’t ever need to pray for our problems; all we need to do is take care of His problems. If you spend all your time thinking about your needs and wishes and forget about His, then don’t expect Him to solve your problems. Therein lays the test. God’s house will always be the testing ground for God’s people. Prophet Haggai says that since people were only concerned with their own problems and the house of God was in ruins, people weren’t successful in their lives.

«Then the word of the LORD came by Haggai the prophet, saying, “Is it time for you yourselves to dwell in your panelled houses, and this temple to lie in ruins?” (..)”You looked for much, but indeed it cam to little; and when you brought it home, I blew it away. Why?” says the LORD of hosts. “Because of My house that is in ruins, while every one of you runs to his own house» (Haggai, 1:3-4,9).

Take care of the house of God, and then God will take care of your problems and lift you up!

God bless you abundantly! Peace to you!

  • The law of multiplication

    If we have seed and sow it in good ground, then we will definitely see a harvest. Seed will grow. Sown seed first gives blade, then head and then grain in the head. Multiplication and growth always imply process. It is unavoidable if we want to receive harvest. We just have to do our part. First, that we have to understand in order to receive harvest is that we need some seed. The truth is that we already have seed. If you want to see multiplication in some area of your life you should know that you already have seed from God.

    God gives to us gifts according to our ability, so He does not call us to do the thigs we are not able to. If God has asked you to do something, it is only because He knows you are able to do it. He won’t give you more than you are able to bear. Simply use what you have.I once read a story about a woman who built a school for the needy. Before she began this, a desire was born in her heart to do it. It became her dream that she was thinking of consistently. At that moment she did not have a thing: no textbooks, no teachers, no building, and no money. But she did have a tremendous desire to fulfil her dream.

  • Value God’s Word!

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 3 minutes
    Today God wants to tell us the same thing. The Word of God is life to us. When God sends us His Word, He offers us life. Rejecting the Word of God we reject life itself. Moses says about God’s Word: «For it is not a futile thing for you, because it is your life…»It is extremely important for us to appreciate the Word of God and not to treat it as something futile, – it is not like a song that we have listened to and then gone to do our own will. It should be to us like the greatest treasure. We have to value God’s Word, to hide it in our hearts, to appreciate it because it is life to us. God says that through the Word and through our right attitude towards it we can extend or prolong our days. Our attitude toward the Word determines whether we will extend our life or shorten it.

    Jesus said that He received the Word and message from the Father. How did He manage this? Thanks to His prayers! Jesus drew near to God in prayer and God approached Him. The result of fellowship between Jesus and the Father, was the fact that God gave Jesus the Word and message. God revealed to Jesus what needed to be done, as well as when and with what to do it. As a result, Jesus always did miracles.Here´s where the secret of success of Jesus was hidden! Here´s where Moses´ success lay! Here´s where God is hiding the key to success for all the men and women during all the history of the Church.

    «Arise, cry out in the night, at the beginning of the watches; pour out your heart like water before the face of the Lord. Lift your hands toward Him for the life of your young children, who faint from hunger at the head of every street» (Lamentations, 2:19).This is not a routine call to ordinary prayer, but a call to cry out to God to send a revival and deliver our children and the next generation from inevitable disasters and tragedies. Every serious revival has started with people’s heartfelt cry directed to God.

  • In our lives we must reflect the life, the power and the nature of Christ III

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 4 minutes
    Our ministry is to be the salt and light to our society. God has granted us this ministry, but not because we are better than others. God gave us this ministry because of His mercy. Now as the recipients of God’s mercy we do not have any right to condemn those that do not know God and live under the power of the prince of darkness. God is sending us – His children — into the world to spread the light and reconciliation. While doing this ministry, we should not lose heart; we should not allow anything to stop us. We must be courageous and go forward enduring sorrows as good soldiers of Jesus Christ.
