Constant fellowship with God

ByPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 4 minutes
Peace on you, dear children of God when you read “Daily word for spiritual strength”! I believe the Lord with strengthen you though His word of wisdom given to us today. We continue to reason about life abundant God wants His children to receive. 
«but now you also put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and shameful speaking out of your mouth». (Colossians 3:8).
 The verse above shows us how easily we can reject all kind of sins and our old life if we have constant fellowship with God. 
«Put on therefore, as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, a heart of compassion, kindness, lowliness, humility, and perseverance…»(Colossians 3:12).
 Having constant fellowship with God we begin to see ourselves as God´s chosen ones, holy and beloved. Each of us is unique and some can see it and believe it, however, not everybody has revealed it for himself. If you look at yourself as at the God´s chosen one, you life will easily reflect a heart of compassion, kindness, lowliness, humility, and perseverance. In addition you will notice how these qualities reflect in your inner world and your relationships with God and other people as well. 
« Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly; in all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another with psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your heart to the Lord. Whatever you do, in word or in deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father, through him.» (Colossians 3:16-17).
 Once you reveal yourself in Him, His peace enters your heart and you will find it easy to live to share the world with other people. If you reveal yourself in Him, God´s wisdom will follow you all your life so you become a source of wisdom, comfort and encouragement for other people. When you reveal yourself in Him, your attitude towards your work and to any other work in general will change. Moreover, having revealed yourself in Him the relationships in your family will change.  
«Wives, be in subjection to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord. Husbands, love your wives, and don’t be bitter against them. Children, obey your parents in all things, for this pleases the Lord. Fathers, don’t provoke your children, so that they won’t be discouraged. Servants, obey in all things those who are your masters according to the flesh, not just when they are looking, as men pleasers, but in singleness of heart, fearing God. And whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord, and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ.». (Colossians 3:18-24).
 When you have revealed yourself in Him, you´ll experience changes and order coming to your family. If a wife reveals herself in Him she will easily submit herself to her husband, instead of feeling herself as a lower class creature she will feel herself as God´s chosen one. Those husbands who revealed themselves in Him can easily love their wives the way Christ loves His church, ready to die for them.That´s what awe call life abundant!It´s impossible to have life abundantly without revealing yourself in Him. In turn, you can´t reveal yourself in Him without seeking things that are above and reasoning about God, that only can be achieved through fellowship with God.Do not let anybody to steal your time of fellowship with God, then you will see how your relationships with Him begin to impact your work, your family and your relationships with other people in a positive way! 
«…I came that they may have life, and may have it abundantly.» (John 10:10).
 Be abundantly blessed with the blessings hidden in Him! Rufus Adjiboje, pastor

    God wants His people to know His Word – the truth which sets us free from lies and sin. The Bibles says that Jesus came to give us life – life in abundance. God’s life is contained in His Word. God’s wisdom and might is contained in His Word! God wants you to realise what great treasure there is for you in His Word. This treasure is not comparable with any silver or gold. God’s Word – it is a jewel beyond price, everlasting, and it brings health, answers and solutions.

  • Jesus as the example of a true minister

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 4 minutes
    We see that Jesus experienced serious difficulties in the days of His earthly life, but He did not focus on them. Jesus was busy serving the Father and those He was sent to serve. While Jesus served people, the Father made sure people ministered to Jesus; God met Jesus’ needs through His ministry.When we serve others, God motivates others to serve us. We always reap what we have sown. We do not serve people because we do not have any problems, – we serve people because it pleases God. And when we serve, despite the fact that we have problems, needs and concerns, God makes sure some people that we do not even know serve us by meeting our needs

  • Prayer is our spiritual breathing

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 5 minutes
    Ask God for grace to arrange your life for effective praying. Be honest with yourself today. Is your prayer life effective, or it has turned into fruitless routine? Maybe your really do not have any prayer relationships with God? You alone can answer these questions. We often talk of prayer; we hear of prayer. It makes us think that we know what prayer is. But do we practise praying? We know that prayer is necessary for our spiritual life, just like air is necessary for our physical life. We must be enough diligent and disciplined to pray.

  • Prayer must be my first priority

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 4 minutes
    Today I would like to talk more about the third point. I finished saying that prayer is more about what God wants to tell you and what He wants to do in your life and not what you want to tell Him. So you do not need to tell God what is on your heart; allow God to work through His Word giving Him opportunity to work in your heart and reveal to you His plans. If you want to hear God, you cannot be in a hurry. Effective prayer has nothing to do with haste.

  • Not only prayer helps us enter God’s presence, it is a source for godly revelations III

    We have been talking about prayer as the source of revelation and guidance in our lives. Yesterday, we saw that through prayer and fellowship with God, Jesus knew what and how He must do or speak. Jesus said,“Jesus gave them this answer: “I tell you the truth, the Son can do nothing by Himself; He can do only what He sees His Father doing, because whatever the Father does the Son also does.” (John 5:19)After Jesus had taught in the temple, He spent nights on the Mount of Olives. There is no doubt, that He met the Father there and they had fellowship, but the next morning He brought a fresh Word for the people who came thirsty to hear this Word.

    Today we will look at some more areas of Solomon’s life where he tried to find happiness and satisfaction. Many people try to do that. Let’s look at the Scripture.«Therefore I hated life because the work that was done under the sun was distressing to me, for all is vanity and grasping for the wind. Then I hated all my labor in which I had toiled under the sun, because I must leave it to the man who will come after me»(Ecclesiastes, 2:16-17).
