All true ministry begins in the presence of God III

ByPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 3 minutes
Hello Friend! So Ministry begins in the presence of God. Life itself becomes colourful as we learn to start our activities with God. This is what we have been taking about for the past two days. Today I want to show you one more thing that happened to Isaiah when he drew near to God. Just to remind you, yesterday we saw that drawing near to God allows us to see things differently. Seeing things differently will always affect our choices and actions.The next thing Isaiah saw as he went into the temple to worship was his sins and the sins of his people:
“Woe to me!” I cried. “I am ruined! For I am a man of unclean lips, and I live among a people of unclean lips, and my eyes have seen the King, the LORD Almighty.” (Isaiah 6: 1).
As we draw closer to God, we will be able to see our self in the light of God. Many people look at themselves from the standpoint of what other people are saying or what they are thinking about themselves. The fact is that only God knows the true states of your heart. As you stand in the presence of God He will help you to see yourself correctly. Not only will you see yourself from God’s perspective, but you will be transformed into His very image.The way you see yourself will always affect your performance. For example, the Bible says the righteous is as bold as Lion, but the sinner runs even when no man is after him (Proverb 28:1).If through fellowship with God and time in His word, you have come to understand and see who you really are in Him that will impact confidence in you like nothing else will.It is in His presence you receive the power, the grace and the wisdom to do away with your limitations, so that you can be cleansed to bear more fruit for Him.Isaiah left the temple that day cleansed, transformed and equipped to bear more fruit than before.
“Then one of the seraphs flew to me with a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with tongs from the altar. 7 With it he touched my mouth and said, “See, this has touched your lips; your guilt is taken away and your sin atoned for.” (Isaiah 6:7).
This is what awaits everyone that master the secret of beginning their ministry in the presence of God.Have a wonderful day! Pastor Rufus Ajiboye

    Nevertheless, there are four possible God´s answers to the right prayer said by the right person.First answer – we pray and receive an immediate answer. It works this way in the life of newly born Christians, but not only. Also Peter received an immediate answer to his prayer. He called to the Lord for help when he started to drown, and the answer came immediately – Jesus stretched His hand to save Peter´s life.

    You cannot say you love and at the same time neglect spending time with the one whom you love. It is simply not possible! Time is our life. By spending time with the one whom you love, you are giving or sharing with them part of your life.In order to earn money, you need time; in order to spend money, you need time. If you have money but do not have time to spend it, this money will not bring you any blessings. If you lose the money, you can earn it back tomorrow. But if you lose time, you are not getting it back!

    Responsible person is not forgetful.Responsible person does not need to be reminded the same things over and over again. It is enough to say it once for a responsible person to bear it in his mind.A responsible person records all important information, significant assignments or appointments. If nothing can be required of you because you keep forgetting things, it means you are irresponsible. There are people around us that say all the time, „Sorry, I forgot”. Such people usually are irresponsible and unreliable.

  • Organization of effective prayer life

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 4 minutes
    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!

  • You cannot multiply what you do not sow

    We are still talking about necessity to use the gifts that have been given to us by the Lord. Jesus wants every person to be faithful in little things and then God will place such a person over greater things. God presents everyone with opportunities to start serving Him and bringing forth fruit for God’s Kingdom. You cannot multiply what you do not sow.In the Gospel of Mathew Jesus told a parable about Master giving his servants different talents.
