Analyze your work and your days!

ByPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 3 minutes
May the peace and grace from the Lord Jesus Christ be multiplied unto you today! Today I want to talk to you about the need to analyze your work and your days. I would like you to see God Himself doing it when He was creating heaven and earth; we can read about it in the first book of the Bible – Genesis.God analyzed and assessed His work before making the next step in His plan. It is a very important principle: periodically we need to stop and look at the things we are doing. It is important to analyze what we have: Is it what we expected? Is it what we wanted? Is it good enough or we need to work more to make improvements? In Genesis we see God doing it again and again.
«And God saw the light, that is was good; and God divided the light from the darkness. God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. So the evening and the morning were the first day» (Genesis, 1: 4, 5).
«And God called the dry land Earth, and the gathering together of the waters He called Seas. And God say that it was good» (Genesis, 1: 10).
«And the earth brought forth grass, the herb that yields fruit, whose seed is in itself according to its kind. And God saw that is was good» (Genesis, 1:12).
«God set them in the firmament of the heavens to give light on the earth, and to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness. And God saw that it was good» (Genesis, 1:17-18).
Quite frequently God assessed what He had done. The Bible says: «And God saw that it was good».Other translation says: «And God saw that it was attractive, appropriate and He approved of it».  The creation matched with God’s original design, so it was good. If we don’t learn to stop like God did to analyze what we are doing and where we are going, then we might end up in a totally different place, not at the intended destination, and we might get something we did not plan to get. It is so easy to get distracted, to get involved into all kinds of entertainment and futile things; that is why we need to stop once in a while to check and analyze what is happening in our lives, whether it is good or bad, should it be changed or not, is the direction of our lives right and good. Let’s assume that in the beginning of the year you had a plan, a desire or a particular dream and you enthusiastically began carrying this plan out. But six month have gone by and you must stop and ask yourself: «Am I where I wanted to be or not?» If we do that daily like God did, we will be able to avoid wasting of time and resources and avoid making fundamental mistakes. I believe this insight will help you. Stop today and think: “Where is my life going? What have I accomplished?” May God give you wisdom and speak to you so that you could assess your life and change things that need correction.Be blessed! Till tomorrow!Pastor Rufus Ajiboye

  • The lordship of Jesus Christ II

    «The LORD said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand, till I make Your enemies Your footstool.” The LORD shall send the rod of Your strength out of Zion. Rule in the midst of Your enemies» (Psalm 110:1-2).This passage talks about Christ: «Rule in the midst of Your enemies», but the Body of Christ — His Church — is included in this prophetic word. Jesus was told to sit at the right hand of God; but it would be God’s children that would overcome God’s enemies and every thing that rise against the will of God. God wants us to rule and reign in the midst of the enemies and unfavourable circumstances. We must rule because we have been given God’s authority and we were born conquerors.

  • How do we make sure that the Word of God abides in us? II

    When I hear the preaching of God’s Word, God speaks to me through someone else. When I read the Word, God speaks to me directly. There are things He wants to speak to me personally, without mediators. God wants me to fellowship with Him so that He can teach me. When you hear the word through the other preaching of people, you can hear things that you do not fully understand or you might even say you do not agree with some things. However, when you fellowship with God through the reading of His Word and God reveals some things to you, you cannot say it is someone else’s opinion.

    «Lord, I desire to bear more fruits in my life. I am asking You to cleanse me, so that I become capable of bearing more fruits. I accept God’s grace to stay on the vine tree. I shall bear much fruits for God in Jesus Name!»The Bible says we should grow until we reach perfection in Christ (see Ephesians, Chapter 4). Therefore, it doesn’t matter how anointed and fruitful you are now, there is a higher level prepared for you by God – the higher level of effectiveness and fertility.

  • When we pray, invisible chains that bind people suddenly fall off! II

    You may ask why people act the way they act? Why don’t people sometimes understand very elementary things? Why do people hear the truth, but do not change? There are invisible things that keep people in bondage. There are strongholds that cannot be destroyed by teaching, sermons, instructions and lectures. They are spiritual things. What happens when the church prays? These strongholds collapse and some real changes take place. We cannot afford not to pray and try to admonish other people; usually people listen to us, say that they understand, but do the same thing all over again.

  • Allow God to transform you through ministry, because the ones who minister never stay the same.!

    The ones who minister to God and men will be continually changing and being perfected in God’s wisdom. God will change you through ministry!The call to serve God and people is the call to change, growth, perfection, fruitfulness and happy life. Have you answered God’s call to serve other people with the gifts you have received from God? Maybe you have been regularly praying for the Lord to change you. I want to say to you that you should keep praying, because God does change us through prayer. But God will also change us through ministry. That is why He tells us that if we want to see obvious changes in our lives, we must minister to others with the gifts we have received from Him.

  • Precondition for effective prayer is prayer in practice

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 4 minutes
    Prayer must be practiced daily. We will not be able to become masters and professionals in what we do not practice every day. If we do not practice prayer, we will not know how to pray properly. Again I would like to emphasize one truth we spoke of last time. In the life for each of us, once the time comes when most of all we need prayer. But if we do not practice prayer daily, we will not be able to ask and receive the necessary assistance from God at that particular time. May this not happen with us.Prayer changes us and the things that are around us, it changes our world. Everyone can find that a prayer is power, it is a privilege for a believer from God Himself.
