God wants you to become His co-worker

Peace on you, precious children of God! I am blessing you at this wonderful day and pray that you do well and prosper as much as your soul does. Today I would like to start a new conversation about bear necessities of God. When you love somebody and you know he has a problem but you have a solution for him what will be your action then? Would you sit and do nothing about it? You surely won´t. It´s one of the biggest issues people have that they only focus on their own problems, forgetting about God´s needs. God wants His children to be a part of the solution for His needs.Some of you may wonder: “Does God have any problems or needs, He is the Almighty One, isn´t He?” The point is that God has decided to limit Himself by people. In the material world, in some situations and in some spheres of life God has decided not to do certain things without people participation. In other words, it doesn´t matter how hard we pray or fast about certain problems, those will not be solved unless the right person appears at the right place. This also explains the fact that God needs people in order to save other people´s souls on Earth. Even Jesus became a human and only after it happened He began to solve people´s problems. There is a testimony about God´s need, He needs people, not just ready to be righteous but also ready to be at the right place at the right time. God is Spirit, He has no body, but our bodies. It becomes a problem to many who are not willing to give their bodies at God´s disposal. The Bible tells us a story about the people of Israel. Long before they became slaves in Egypt, the God Himself prophesied to their father, Abraham that his descendants would enter a foreign land, that God would lead them out of Egypt. God told this to Abraham long before the actual events took place. When the time to escape Egypt had come, God could not do anything about the matter unless the right person, Moses was found. The Scripture says that Moses was arguing with God, that made the latter angry. God wad preparing Moses to make exactly him the man through whom God later would lead Israelites from slavery. Whose help do you seek when you run into problem? You seek God´s help of course! Do you ever expect God would refuse you help because He is too busy with something else? Surely you don´t! It works the same way with God, when He has a problem, He turns to us waiting for a solution. Though, we, in turn, find a thousand excuses why we can´t take part in solving His problems. We must realise that we not only believe in God, rely on Him and trust Him, but also God trusts us and relies on us. It´s important to know that also God believes in us. «Because I have called, and you have refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no one has paid attention; But you have ignored all my counsel, And wanted none of my reproof; Then will they call on me, but I will not answer. They will seek me diligently, but they will not find me; Because they hated knowledge, And didn’t choose the fear of Yahweh.» (Proverbs 1:24,25,28,29). God wants you to become His co-worker, overwhelmed with what God is taking care for, to be thirsty for things God is thirsty for. Do you find it impossible? It is possible, just because He created us according to His likeness. Let not disappoint the Lord! Let not be looking for excuses at the moments He turns to us for help. God will not leave it unrewarded – He is blessing everybody who serves Him and responds to His call. Lord bless you!Rufus Adjiboye, pastor

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

    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.
  • Organization of effective prayer life

    Prayer is a very important and necessary part of our spiritual life and can be compared to breathing, which is vital for our physical life. In other words, prayer is our spiritual breathing. The one who is not breathing is not alive. In the very same way, prayer is what makes us alive in spiritual sense. Thus, without prayer we are spiritually dead. This year we have talked a lot about serving God, and it is very important as well. We need to serve God! We need to serve people! But we will never be effective in our ministry to God and people without effective prayer.Remember it!

  • Spiritual discipline

    The paradox is that most Christians, who discipline themselves in other areas of their life in order to be successful – like job or carrier, do not believe they need to be disciplined in the area of godliness. We are talking about good Christians who are faithful members of the Church of the Living God. These are people who love God’s Word and often are very enthusiastic about the work of God. But because of the lack of discipline they do not reach their potential in God’s Kingdom.
