Be faithful in small things; then God will set you over many things!

ByPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 3 minutes
Welcome, dear readers!It is amazing how much wisdom we can obtain through the Word of God. During these past weeks we have been analysing Jesus’ parable of talents. What abundance of precious wisdom, which is able not only to make us wise, but also to change so many things in our lives. There is just one thing necessary: we need to open our hearts and let the Spirit of God make us wise through the Word and be doers of the Word and not hearers only.If we read this parable very carefully, we will see that it talks about accountability.
“After a long time the lord of those servants came and settled accounts with them” (Mathew, 25:19).
As we see, after a long time the master returned to settle accounts with his servants.The Lord is coming again! And this parable is prophetic. Jesus is our Lord and He is returning! When He comes back, He will reward every person as he or she deserves. Jesus also will condemn those who deserve it. Verse 19 says that the master came „after a long time”. It means that Jesus is coming at the time when He won’t be expected. But it also means we need to be alert. We must be alert!Besides, God rewards faithfulness. You might think today about the multitude of problems you have: problems at home, problems at work, health problems etc. And because of them you forget about your talents and about using them for the Kingdom of God.I want to say that we must be alert even when we have many great problems. Everybody has some kind of problems. But our love towards God is expressed when we serve Him under any circumstances and not just because He meets all of our needs; we serve Him because we love Him. We must serve Him not only when everything is going well, but also when the life is hard and unfair. When we do not have a desire to work and serve, we should find our motivation in the desire to be faithful to God and not fail Him.When Jesus will come, He will reward the faithful ones.I want you to see that the master from the parable of talents equally rewarded the servant who made five more talents and the one who made two more talents. God does not criticize and does not condemn people who have been less fruitful, because He knows the story of their lives; He knows the circumstances and abilities of every one of us. Both servants were equally approved by their master.The master said to the first servant:
“His lord said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant; you were faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord»(Mathew, 25:21).
The master said the same words to the second servant:
“His lord said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant; you have been faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord» (Mathew, 25:23).
Their lord did not reward them for how much fruit they had brought; he rewarded their faithfulness.«… you have been faithful over a few things ».God wants to see us faithful to our calling. Be faithful in small things; then God will set you over many things.Till tomorrow!Pastor Rufus Ajiboye

  • Where there is life there is hope

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 4 minutes
    Hope is one of the greatest words of the Christian faith. It is one word the unsaved man cannot use, because there is no hope for the unsaved according to the Bible (Ep.2: 11-13). If you are reading this word today and you have not accepted Jesus as your Lord and Savior, your hope begins with that step. If you want to take that step but you don’t really understand what that means and how to do it, please read our booklet: The Jesus you never knew or visit our page: becoming a friend of God.

  • Organization of effective prayer life IV

    Prayer is meaningful time with God.I will explain what I mean by that. Quite often I use the word ‘time’. Prayer is one of the means of organizing and managing the time we have been given. What is the topic of our prayers is a very interesting question. We all talk about it. There are so many books written on prayer. But who is the person who prays truly effectively? This is a very serious question. God desires us to arrange our lives for effective prayer; it will take our ministry and our whole life to a much higher level.

  • Ask God for a reformation of your life, especially your prayer life!

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 4 minutes
    God desires for us to realize that the church that prayer also wins; it is united church which cannot be overcome by the gates of hell. Praying church is a growing church that experiences God’s power and miracles. God promised that He has established His church and that the gates of hell will not prevail against it. May God help every one of us to give prayer the central place in our lives; may God’s order be established in our lives. I am not talking about redundant, fruitless imitation of prayer; I am talking about the prayer that touches heaven, releases God’s power which was seen in the life of Jesus.

This desire keeps our life in prayer alive. We have to have such desire to be able to pray continuously.
