Do you know that you are not all you could be yet?

ByPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 3 minutes

Good day my friends! I am so glad to welcome you again to the pages of our Daily word for Spiritual edification.

Today I want to share with you a powerful thought from Mathew 4: 18-20.

“And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers. 19And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.  20And they straightway left their nets, and followed him”

In the above passage, Jesus saw two brothers trying to catch fish by the sea side and immediately recognized that they have a better destiny, so He instructed them to follow Him. This word of God to you today is this: Follow me and I will make you.

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.

You cannot make yourself. You need the hand of the master potter Himself. That is the point of this message. Allow the potter to mould you into the person you are created and ordained to be. As clay is useless unless it is submitted to the hand of the potter, so will our lives be wasted until we learn to follow Him.

The only condition for Him to make you is to follow Him. Follow Me and I WILL MAKE YOU, is the clear instruction!

Have you made up your mind to follow Him? Is your decision to follow Him affecting your life and actions on a daily basis? Peter and Andrew left their nets and back up their decision with a definite action, are you still holding unto some nets that are hindering you to follow the Master and the Potter?

Those are the screening God want you to do today.

And by the way, WHAT DOES IT MEANS TO FOLLOW ANOTHER, – TO FOLLOW CHRIST?

Among all things, following Christ mean

  1. To obey Him. Follow His teaching, commandments and instruction

  2. To yield or submit to His correction

  3. To set His life before you as an example.

The scriptures says “Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. 3For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds”

We are to follow His actions, his steps and His examples. From today on turn this into your prayer: “Lord as I follow you, I thank you for making me and turning my destiny loose”May the Almighty Lord bless you abundantly this day!Pastor Rufus Ajiboye

  • God helps us to develop compassion towards other people through the ministry as well

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 5 minutes
    It is true that ministry transforms us into the likeness of God. Since God is graceful and compassionate in His essence, then we His children should be able to show to others the grace and compassion of our Heavenly Father and we do that by serving other people. Earlier on, we already mentioned that God’s desire is to transform us into the image and the likeness of Christ so that we can begin to reflect the quality of character that Jesus had. It was Christ who came to reveal God to us so that we can follow in His steps. We know that changes automatically do not occur; changes or transformation happen only as we implement the laws and principles of God into our life. Ministry is one tremendous way we can do that; it is one of the many tools, God uses to mold and transform us into likeness of Christ.

  • Effective prayer of a believer is a serious threat to Satan´s plans and actions

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 4 minutes
    Why does Satan hate it and is afraid of the prayers of the children of God? This is because in a prayer, we and God become a team – an invincible team. In the Book of Daniel, there is a description of an event when a certain group of people prompted the king to issue a law prohibiting contact in a prayer with the living God. Except for the living God, they were allowed to pray any other gods. They were allowed to ask for help to people, but not only living God. And it was Satan´s plan. Why does Satan put these obstacles? Because he realized that the prayer is power.

  • How can we experience God in our life? III

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 5 minutes
    Let Him talk to your heart today. We keep on talking about how we can experience God´s presence, power and His mercy in our life. Yesterday we stated that constant fellowship with God is mandatory in order to experience these things. We quoted many verses from Scripture telling us that people who love God have obvious advantages. For such people God has prepared many pleasant surprises and all things together work for good in their lives and God Himself appears to them.«We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose.» (Romans 8:28).

  • God’s purpose for the earth and the role of people in it III

    Today many people mostly emphasize different manifestations, anointing, gifts, talents and personal development. All of these things are important. But if we neglect the development of God’s character in us and do not make it a priority, if we forget to draw near to God and fellowship with Him, then we are doing not the will of God, but instead carrying out our own will. And as a result we are not able to bring glory to God.

  • Worthy Goal for Life

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 4 minutes
    Every person has a goal, whether he talks about it or not. He is driven to do something. But if we talk about goals, it is important to determinewhether it is WORTHY or UNWORTHY. Paul had a worthy goal and talked about it all the time:«…according to my earnest expectation and hope that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but with all boldness, as always, so now also Christ will be magnified in my body, whether by life or by death. For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain. But if I live on in the flesh, this will mean fruit from my labor; yet what I shall choose I cannot tell. For I am hard-pressed between the two, having a desire to depart and be with Christ, which is far better. Nevertheless to remain in the flesh is more needful for you.

  • Why we can’t grow spiritually if we do not serve others?

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 5 minutes
    Here is one of the reasons why we can’t grow spiritually if we do not serve others. If we do not serve we become like those who only receive and not give out. Sooner or later such a person starts to stink spiritually. Look at any body of water that water flows into but doesn’t flow out of. After some time this water becomes stagnant and lifeless.
