Life is a Purpose

ByPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 3 minutes
Welcome, dear friends! Grace and peace from our Father God and our Lord, Jesus Christ be with you! Yesterday we started to talk about “strategical living”. As we said, life is time. Right attitude towards time helps us to rightly to life itself and vice verse. Each of us should pay great attention to the way we manages his time. Today I would like to look at another side of life: 
  1. Life is a Purpose.
 God has created each of you for a certain purpose. God has a common purpose and a personal (individual) purpose for each of us. Our common goal is to glorify the Lord. However, God also has a peculiar purpose He has created every individual to fulfill. I was sent to the Earth to solve certain problems. If you are driven by such awareness you will live a strategical life. Each of you has a certain goal and a purpose set by God. 
« For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared before that we would walk in them.»(Ephesians 2:10).
 Each of you was created to solve a certain task from God. That’s why God has given you this time. Life is time, that’s why you should use it for solving your task. Therefore, if you dedicate your time to getting to know God’s will for your life, then to fulfilling your purpose, you won’t have time to do wrong things. The task assigned to you by God can make you either popular or unpopular, a leader or a subordinate. It’s important to dedicate yourself to fulfilling God’s goals. God’s goal may also determine whether you will live a short or a long life. It’s important to accept God’s goal then fulfil it. You have to respect that goal and do your best to achieve it. God’s goal is a place of your blessings. God’s goal for your life is something that will make you a blessing for the other people. God’s goal dresses you up and helps you to improve this world. It helps you to be a blessing everywhere you go. Your appearance should make people feeling better. The goal and the purpose of God help you to enrich the church, enrich people and the land where God has set you to live. Your goal helps you to glorify the Lord on Earth. Life is a goal! You live, then you have a goal. But what is that goal? What drives you every day? Life is a goal! Life is time! It’s important to know God, because without relationships with Him you will never get to know the goal of your life. Jesus revealed Himself and His task through the Scriptures first, then dedicated Himself to this task, dedicated Himself to fulfilling the goal received from God. The closer we are to God, the easier for us to get to know His will and the goal for our life. When you are close to God, you hear His voice, so God can easily lead you, then you follow His way. Having close relationships with God make you sensitive to His voice and guidance. Tomorrow we are going to discuss what certain tests our life is connected to. God bless you abundantly! Rufus Adjiboje, pastor

  • Habit is a compilation of knowledge, skills and willingness III

    If we want to have fruitful prayer life, then prayer must become a habit. In order for that to happen we must gain some skills in the area of prayer. Skill means how we do something. When you know what you need to do and why you need to do it, the next step is HOW to do it. If you don’t know how, this activity can’t become a habit. But you won’t be able to learn how, unless you actually start doing it. I won’t know how to pray, unless I start praying. I am sure we already know very much about prayer. You can put to practice this knowledge that you have. Thus you obtain skills. Skills are developed by putting knowledge to practice.

  • We are the salt of the earth and light of the world

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 3 minutes
    We continue talking about our role and function as God’s ambassadors on the earth. We’ve talked about the Bible calling us Christ’s ambassadors; God has sent us to encourage people to be reconciled with God. The Bible also calls us the salt of the earth and the light to the world. But if we as Christ’s ambassadors on earth do not actively practise our faith, then our society will deteriorate. Today, if we look at successful and prosperous countries, we can see the reason of their success and prosperity is because the people there embrace and practice Christian values. Only righteousness exalts a nation – Thai is a law, – God’s law. Only righteousness makes a nation prosperous! Injustice and sin destroy a nation.

  • What causes tragedies in our lives at all?

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 4 minutes
    Many people ask me: «If God is good, why does He allow so many tears, tragedies and sorrow in this world? If it´s not His merit then where does all the evil come from? Where does a tragedy come from? What is its source?» Honest and apparently innocent people that suffer want to know why and what are they suffering for. Consecrated, true believers that seek God with all their heart, and also suffer want to know why such things happen in their lives. People of all generations have asked these questions.

    Answer Nr.3 – God says «No!» In this case you should be glad with this answer as much as glad you are when God says es”. “No” is the most difficult thing to hear and to pronounce. Some people never accept answer “No” at all. Those who dare say “No” to them become enemies of such people. Sometimes we are not able to accept negative answer from God too.Apostle Paul wrote in his letter about a thorn in his flesh used by the angel of satan to inflict pain on him. Paul prayed for three times for removal of it, but God said “No!” Didn´t Paul remain in God and the word of God in him?

    My responsibility is to live a worthy life and to walk in obedience before the Lord. If I become disobedient, then according to the Bible my Heavenly Father corrects and disciplines me. To discipline is to correct for moral perfection. That is why the Bible says:«As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten. Therefore be zealous and repent» (Revelation, 3:19).
