When did God speak to you the last time?

ByPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 4 minutes
I greet you, dear friends, on this wonderful day! Every day God creates everything new, and His mercy is renewed every morning! We continue to talk about how important it is to be led by God’s Word and God’s voice.In what way God speaks to us? God has a variety of techniques, which He uses to talk to us. Mostly God speaks to us through His Word (the Bible). For some people it is easier to believe in an angel who came down from heaven, than in what is written in the Bible. God in His Word is much closer to us than an angel, but we do not make a thing of the Word written in the Scriptures. God speaks to us through His Word. The Bible – it is a living book, this is God’s Own Word, a speaking Word. If we want to enjoy eternal life every day, then let the Word of God talk to you every day. Do not read the Bible as history, stories or fiction, which has nothing to do with your life today. Do not read the Bible as the word which God speaks to the Jews, but perceive it as the Word which God speaks today personally to you. And do believe that God can talk to you from the Bible pages every day. God wants to lead you along the path on which you should walk. God speaks to us through the Holy Spirit and the Word of God – these are the two main methods by which God speaks. The Holy Spirit and the Word of God interact. The Holy Spirit is the author of the Word and when we are reading the Bible, He enlightens us and gives internal evidence. Usually this happens when we read the Word of God. But this is not the only time when the Holy Spirit can speak to you. He can talk to you even when you do not pray and read the Bible. If you have a close relationship with God, you will know His voice! When you do pray, especially if you are baptized with the Holy Spirit and pray in tongues, your spirit is in fellowship with God and there is the exchange of information between you and God.Therefore, when you do not pray, the information that has been received and is in your spirit is beginning to express itself.
„No, we speak of God’s secret wisdom, a wisdom that has been hidden and that God destined for our glory before time began. None of the rulers of this age understood it, for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. However, as it is written: “No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love him” but God has revealed it to us by his Spirit. The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God.”(1 Corinthians 2:7-10)
God’s wisdom is intended to give us glory. Jesus says that His Word is life, but life with Jesus is full of glory. Where does this life, full of God’s glory, come from? So when we hear God’s wisdom and follow this wisdom, God gives us His glory. They who dishonour God’s wisdom go towards a shame.So ask yourself a question: When did God speak to you the last time? When was the last time you heard God’s voice?You are reading the Word of God and you hear God’s voice, and the Holy Spirit speaks to you. God has a plan for us. If we live in this plan, we have a life in abundance. But if we are not in God’s plan, we cannot enjoy this life. Outside of God’s plan there is no real life. We want to live in God’s plan, but God must reveal this plan to people through the Word of God and Holy Spirit.Therefore you must love the Word of God and dwell in it every day to draw strength and learn what the plan of God is for your life.We shall continue tomorrow!With the love of God!Pastor Rufus Ajiboye

    Prayer is getting close to God.Let’s look at James (4:8): «Draw near to God and He will draw near to you…».Prayer means to consciously draw near to God. Prayer means to approach God on purpose.Who of you wants to draw near to God? Who of you desires for God to draw near to you? God cannot be closer to you than He is. But you can draw near to Him. God is so close to us; He says: „I am here!” You are asking: «God, where are You?” Remember when Elijah ran away and cried: «God, where are You?” But God was with him. God is everywhere! And we can draw near to Him through prayer.

    Let’s talk about another quality Jethro possessed: he did not pressure Moses to accept his advice. We can see in the Scripture, which I would like us to look at:«If you do this thing, and God so commands you, then you will be able to endure, and all this people will also go to their place in peace» (Exodus, 18:23).We can see here that Jethro did not demand Moses to accept his advice, but gave him a chance to make a choice himself. The phrase “if you do this thing” means that even if Moses did not listen to Jethro, he would not be upset. So he knew he could not take it personally if Moses chooses a different way.

  • God is looking for fruits in your life!

    «Lord, I desire to bear more fruits in my life. I am asking You to cleanse me, so that I become capable of bearing more fruits. I accept God’s grace to stay on the vine tree. I shall bear much fruits for God in Jesus Name!»The Bible says we should grow until we reach perfection in Christ (see Ephesians, Chapter 4). Therefore, it doesn’t matter how anointed and fruitful you are now, there is a higher level prepared for you by God – the higher level of effectiveness and fertility.

    A dedicated man has joy even during trials and testings and knows how to go through grief; his greatest joy is when his life goes according to God’s plan.In order to see these principles working in your life, we should look at the life of Jesus Who clearly demonstrated what it means to be dedicated to God and doing of His will.

  • But he who endures to the end shall be saved!

    The question arises why so many people start their walk with God but turn aside in one of the crossroads of life; they turn back to where they came from. It reminds me the story of Jewish people. For a long time this nation was in slavery in Egypt. They were burdened by hard work with no payment. The nation of Israel cried out to God, and God delivered them and brought them out of Egypt. They had to walk to the Promised Land. Every day they were getting closer to it. There were difficulties on their way; they had to flee some wrong things, avoid making wrong decisions, wrong relationships; they had to overcome grumbling and complaining. Israelites had to obtain more and more knowledge of God while heading towards their Promised Land.

  • How to develop a habit of prayer in our life?

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 4 minutes
    «Thanks God, I already have such habit». I am glad about you. The other might say «I´ve already tried, but failed to do so”. I am glad about you too.I pray today, so that this Word helps you to overcome your weakness and instability solving this issue.First of all, I want to stress out the fact, that prayer is love relationships with God. Why do I mention that and why it´s so important when you try to make prayer as your habit. We already discussed it, that prayer is not learning of different methods about how convince God to do our will. Lack of necessity to pray is one of few reasons why believers pray just a little.
