In what way does ministry influences us?

ByPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 2 minutes
Grace and mercy from God be multiply unto you today in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ! Today I want to be talking about the influence of ministry or Christian service on our lives. Ministry exerts a beneficial influence on a life of the one who serves. Every believer or member of the body of Christ ought to be a disciple of Christ and all disciples are supposed to be a minister or servant of God. As I have said before, Christian service or ministry exerts a great influence on our lives. Serving God will transform your life and layout before you a foundation to great and magnificent future. This why I consistently call on the people God to be engaged in concrete service in the house of God and for the Kingdom sake. In what way does ministry influences us? Ministry conforms a person to Christ and transforms him from an egoist into a loving and giving person. One of ways we can improve our love walk is through our Christian service. Jesus said that when a person loves Him, the person will obey His commandments. (John 14:15) Through Christian ministry we are translated to the level of practical Christianity, instead of remaining on the level of a mere hearer, who never put to practice what he has been learning. This is what Jacob is talking about in the following Scriptures:James 1: 22-26If you have accepted The Lord Jesus Christ and have received Him as your Lord and Saviour, but still do not serve in any dimension and you consider that normal then you are deceiving yourself. Please, resolve this problem today, get rid of this self-deception, be engaged in Kingdom business and start to bear fruit to the Glory of God. There are so many possibilities today to serve God and people. Dear friends, nothing can hinder you from finding your place of service in the Kingdom of God if you truly desire to do that. May the Lord assist you to bring more fruits that will abide forever! See you tomorrow!

    In order for us to learn react to problems and pain in a correct manner we need a revelation about the fact that while we live in this world there will be no end to pain and hardships. For as long as sin exists on the earth pain won’t cease in people’s lives. We suffer not only due to our own sins and wrong decisions, but also due to the sins and wrong decisions of other people.Joshua and Caleb, as well as the whole generation of Israel that finally entered the Promised Land were forced to wander through the wilderness for almost 40 years. Why? We know that Joshua and Caleb had a different spirit and they believed God and walked in obedience. Nevertheless, due to the wrong decisions made by other people they had to suffer and wander in the wilderness for all that time.

  • Lay hold on eternal life! III

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 3 minutes
    Laying hold of eternal life means that a person strives to stay on the narrow road which leads to eternal life. Jesus knew that it would be so convenient for many to walk the broad road; being on this road, a person feels comfortable and lives without any restrictions; he does what he wants to do and is not limited by any commitments. But the Bible says that it is the way of sin, because a person is not accountable and moves ‘without brakes’, so to speak; this way leads to destruction. God says that we shouldn’t walk on this way. We must flee sin; we must cast aside all the worldly, ungodly things that hinder us, otherwise we won’t get to our destination – eternal life. Jesus says that many people will deny faith.

    While growing up and changing we will see how we become more patient. Patience is a fruit of the Spirit God wants to be visible in your life. Therefore, God sometimes permits conflicts in your life, to help you with developing the fruit of patience. God desires to trample our pride thus transforming us into likeness of loving, persevere Christ. You are still arrogant if you show resentment at nonsense. God desires to help you to get rid of this arrogance. That´s why He allows people to do wrong to us. God is trying to teach us how to handle such situations, so that we are able to build relationships with people as His representatives on this Earth. Everything God permits in our life works together for good if we let Him mould us.
