ByPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 4 minutes
Good day dear friends!Thanks God for this wonderful day that He has given to us! Thanks for  yet another opportunity to fill ourselves with the living word from Him!As we mentioned yesterday, God reveals His covenant and His secrets to certain category of people and you could also belong to this group.Firstly, God reveals His secrets to those who fear and love Him.Secondly, He reveals His secrets to those who stand on their watch.Thirdly, He reveals His secrets to those who sincerely ask Him questions.God likes it when we ask Him questions. He is pleased when we try to find a solutions to our problems in Him and in His word. He loves to see us trust in Him in all our ways.After  Paul asked the Lord: «Lord! What must I do?» (Acts9:6), God could give direction to his life. God also reveals His secrets  to those who value His revelations high enough, that they will write them down.It is so important to have God’s vision for your life.  It doesn’t matter how old you are,  how poor or rich,  the colour of your skin, how educated or uneducated you think you are. God´s purpose, born by the Holy Spirit will guide you in  life and lead you into your eternal destiny from Him. You must have a vision from God or you are in danger of living a purposeless life. This is what the book of proverbs is talking about: «Where there is no revelation, the people cast off restraint». (Proverbs 29:18).First of all, you need a revelation from God. Learning to recognize the voice of your Heavenly Father and getting to know Him as your best friend is vitally important. God is willing to give you wisdom, understanding and revelation in every sphere of your life. However, when you receive revelations and wisdom from God, you have to write everything down. Then this will become a source of life, that gives breathe to you, bringing hope that releases faith  in you and trust in God.To write down the vision down means to record the vision a paper. We have to put it down clearly, the way it makes sense to us later. this way we can retain the vision on paper and thus, we can bring it into reality, so that we can expect it and set our hopes upon it. This is one of the methods we can connect with the vision  and commit ourselves to its fulfillment. Prophet Habakkuk reminds us about the importance of writing down the vision you have received from God.«I will stand at my watch, and set myself on the ramparts, and will look out to see what he will say to me, and what I will answer concerning my complaint. Yahweh answered me, “Write the vision, and make it plain on tablets, that he may run who reads it. For the vision is yet for the appointed time, and it hurries toward the end, and won’t prove false. Though it takes time, wait for it; because it will surely come. It won’t delay.» (Habakkuk 2:1-3).Also prophet Isaiah talks about it in the following verse:«Now go, write it before them on a tablet, and inscribe it in a book, that it may be for the time to come forever and ever.». (Isaiah 30:8).A vision not written down remains just like a dream, idea or fantasy,  that can easily be changed or easily alterable at any moment. Do you value what God reveals to you? Do you write down everything God reveals to you personally or  through other people about your life?The idea of writing down  the vision on  stone plates is a command with  practical benefits. «Yahweh answered me, “Write the vision, and make it plain on tablets, that he may run who reads it» (Habakkuk 2:2).Writing down the vision is not an advice or a suggestion, for us who live in  the 21st century to bury ourselves in the search for  some stone plates and some appropriate tools that we could use to carve visions unto them. However, Habakkuk is emphasizing here the fact, it will be very difficult to erase or get rid of what is carved into stones. It will require great efforts to accomplish such task.It is obligatory that you write down the vision you receive from God!Let´s continue  on this tomorrow!God´s peace be with you!Rufus AJiboye, pastor

    “Therefore lay aside all filthiness and overflow of wickedness, and receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls” (James, 1:21).This is a very profound verse of Scripture that must be considered and closely examined. But I would like to draw your attention to several points. Here the Bible talks about the implanted Word which saves our souls. It resembles the process of engrafting a branch of tree into another tree, after which these trees become one, since they have the same root system. The implanted Word must be one with me. God wants His Word to be planted in my heart so that the Word and I become one because it is only then will the word be able save my soul.

    We have been talking about God’s presence in our lives. As we have discussed, God’s presence makes all the difference in our lives. It makes us strong. It makes us wise. We can experience God’s presence through fervent praying, through cleansing and purifying of our hearts, though brokenness and humility before God, and through holy and godly living.Moses made prayer a priority in order to secure God’s presence in his life and ministry; for this reason he set up a special tent where all the seekers of God were invited to come.

  • The changes must start with us

    «When I was young my imagination did not know any boundaries. And I wanted to change the whole world. In time I realized that I wouldn’t be able to change the world, so I tried to change my country. When I realized that I wouldn’t be able to change the country, I concentrated on changing my city. But I couldn’t change my city either. So, when I had grown older, I tried to change my family. Now when I am an old man waiting to cross over to the other side I have understood that the only one I could change was me. Suddenly I realized that if I had worked on changing myself I would have been able to really affect my family and then my family and I could have affected the city. Through the changes in the city we could have changed the country and the world”.

    Other people might be responsible for where you are in life, but nobody is responsible for your continuing to stay where you are. Until you stop finding fault and shifting blame, you will not rise up and take responsibility for your advancement in life. Here is what God want you to do from today on:Don’t blame the devil, resist him (James 4: 7); Don’t blame God, obey Him (Genesis 3: 12-13); Don’t blame your challenges and predicaments; fight your way through them by faith (Number chapter 12-14).

    God does this work through the Holy Spirit. We can collaborate with God in this process by our full obedience to Him.God wants to change you. If you are shy today, God wants to see you bold. If you are doubtful today, God wants to see you full of faith. Even if you are shy and pretend being as such because you inherited this quality from your ancestors and relatives – let me tell you, God desires to change it in you. He will accomplish this task if you allow it to Him.
