Any change in our life is done by the Holy Spirit, who transforms us and moves us from glory to glory

ByPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 3 minutes
Welcome, dear friends! I am so happy to share with you the word God put into my heart today. I believe it´s going to strengthen you and make you wiser.Yesterday we began to talk that we can reveal ourselves only when we enter the presence of God. Your own life and potential are hidden in Christ. Each of us is willing to transform, though, it can only happen in the presence of God and through having personal fellowship with God.  
«But we all, with unveiled face beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are transformed into the same image from glory to glory, even as from the Lord, the Spirit.»(2nd Corinthians 3:18).
 Any change in our life is done by the Holy Spirit, who transforms us and moves us from glory to glory. Are you able to accomplish something only the Holy Spirit can do? Surely not! However, by constantly watching the glory of the Lord with open face the Holy Spirit can transform us into the same image, from glory to glory.I noticed there is a problem with persistence in our fellowship with God not with coming before Him. You probably experience the time when inspiration visits you and you are willing to get closer to God and have fellowship with Him. While those moments come rather rarely or very rarely they do not change anything in essence. We all need persistence! During fellowship with God Holy Spirit will work at your heart, at your character, at your relationships, at your way of thinking that, in turn, will transform you.What does transformation mean?It means change of your perception of the ongoing events, so that you start looking at things God´s way. Transformation means internal freedom, being what God wants you be, ability to fulfil God´s will in your life. In opposite case, our old way of life will prevent us from fulfilling the God´s will. The more sermons you listen to while reducing your time spent with God, the more shut your heart will be. That´s why many believers stay unchanged for years, regardless of all kind of sermons they have heard.When God invites us for fellowship, it should not be treated as a punishment. God is not willing to steal our free time nor trying to burden us in any kind of way. Vice verse, fellowship with Him is our privilege, opportunity to transform, this is the time to reveal your inner self. Fellowship with God changes us internally! Global changes in your life start with changes in your heart.  
«If then you were raised together with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated on the right hand of God.» (Colossians3:1).
 Always seek the things that are above! Seek Christ seated on the right hand of God then your life will be revealed and you will also be revealed with him in glory. Let´s continue tomorrow!Be blessed!Rufus Adjiboje, pastor

    “Whoever has my commands and obeys them, he is the one who loves me. He who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love him and show myself to him.”According to the above passage, there is a process or protocol we need to follow if we want to see and experience the manifestations of God in our lives and in ministries.Now it is true that God is an omnipresence God. He is present everywhere at the same time. However, it is important to note that his presence is more real and felt in some places than anywhere else. What determines such a big difference? This is what I mean when I say we need to follow a protocol. Following the right protocol is what differentiates between the intensity of God’s manifest presence in our lives, home and churches.

  • Faith without love is not biblical faith!

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 3 minutes
    If you have faith, but do not have love, then, according to Paul, you are “sounding brass and a clanging cymbal” and you are “nothing”. Faith without love does not work. That is why it is so important to learn to walk in love. Otherwise our hearts won’t be able to go through the last day attacks. Faith will not work without love!What are you going to do when people will hate, persecute and hurt you? Will you get offended and look for the ways to pay them back and do evil? That is the reaction of flesh; that is the reaction of a natural man.

  • What are the benefits of pain and suffering at the time? IV

    AutorsПастор Руфус Аджибойе Reading Time: 3 minutes
    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.

    I thank God for this day and believe that this day will be filled with the blessings from the Lord. Today I’d like to continue on the topic I talked about yesterday – the importance of unity. We saw that when you have a strong team every house will be built and every project will be completed. That kind of team will always achieve victory. In the Bible we see that Jesus also talked about the importance of unity.

  • Do not be discouraged if you feel like God hasn’t yet answered your prayer, keep praying!

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 3 minutes
    Maybe you are praying to God and it seems to you that the answer isn’t going to come, maybe you feel like giving up on prayer, you think that prayer doesn’t work. I’ve spoken to people who were praying for a long time and started to disbelieve in the power of prayer as the answers were not immediate. The example of Canaanite woman shows us that it is wrong to think that there is no point in asking God for help. I would like to reassure you that your prayer is heard today! Even today there is magnificent power in prayer!
