Constant fellowship with God

ByPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 4 minutes

Peace on you, dear children of God when you read “Daily word for spiritual strength”! I believe the Lord with strengthen you though His word of wisdom given to us today. We continue to reason about life abundant God wants His children to receive.

 

«but now you also put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and shameful speaking out of your mouth». (Colossians 3:8).

 

The verse above shows us how easily we can reject all kind of sins and our old life if we have constant fellowship with God.

 

«Put on therefore, as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, a heart of compassion, kindness, lowliness, humility, and perseverance…»(Colossians 3:12).

 

Having constant fellowship with God we begin to see ourselves as God´s chosen ones, holy and beloved. Each of us is unique and some can see it and believe it, however, not everybody has revealed it for himself. If you look at yourself as at the God´s chosen one, you life will easily reflect a heart of compassion, kindness, lowliness, humility, and perseverance. In addition you will notice how these qualities reflect in your inner world and your relationships with God and other people as well.

 

« Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly; in all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another with psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your heart to the Lord. Whatever you do, in word or in deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father, through him.» (Colossians 3:16-17).

 

Once you reveal yourself in Him, His peace enters your heart and you will find it easy to live to share the world with other people. If you reveal yourself in Him, God´s wisdom will follow you all your life so you become a source of wisdom, comfort and encouragement for other people. When you reveal yourself in Him, your attitude towards your work and to any other work in general will change. Moreover, having revealed yourself in Him the relationships in your family will change.

 

 

«Wives, be in subjection to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord. Husbands, love your wives, and don’t be bitter against them. Children, obey your parents in all things, for this pleases the Lord. Fathers, don’t provoke your children, so that they won’t be discouraged. Servants, obey in all things those who are your masters according to the flesh, not just when they are looking, as men pleasers, but in singleness of heart, fearing God. And whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord, and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ.». (Colossians 3:18-24).

 

When you have revealed yourself in Him, you´ll experience changes and order coming to your family. If a wife reveals herself in Him she will easily submit herself to her husband, instead of feeling herself as a lower class creature she will feel herself as God´s chosen one. Those husbands who revealed themselves in Him can easily love their wives the way Christ loves His church, ready to die for them.

That´s what awe call life abundant!

It´s impossible to have life abundantly without revealing yourself in Him. In turn, you can´t reveal yourself in Him without seeking things that are above and reasoning about God, that only can be achieved through fellowship with God.

Do not let anybody to steal your time of fellowship with God, then you will see how your relationships with Him begin to impact your work, your family and your relationships with other people in a positive way!

 

«…I came that they may have life, and may have it abundantly.» (John 10:10).

 

Be abundantly blessed with the blessings hidden in Him! Rufus Adjiboje, pastor

  • God wants His children to be a part of the solution for His needs!

    Some of you may wonder: “Does God have any problems or needs, He is the Almighty One, isn´t He?” The point is that God has decided to limit Himself by people. In the material world, in some situations and in some spheres of life God has decided not to do certain things without people participation. In other words, it doesn´t matter how hard we pray or fast about certain problems, those will not be solved unless the right person appears at the right place.

  • God is the only one who knows the true meaning of human life

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 4 minutes
    We are saved by Jesus Christ not by our deeds, to be followed by good deeds God has determined for us. Once we realise that He created us, we understand that our life on this Earth is absolutely meaningless without Him, without relationship and collaboration with God. Without Him we would resemble those who lack brain, wandering in the desert, having no certain way to go. Therefore, such people walk in the dark without light, staggering like a drunken man.«He takes away understanding from the chiefs of the people of the earth, And causes them to wander in a wilderness where there is no way. They grope in the dark without light. He makes them stagger like a drunken man.» (Job 12:24-25).

  • What are you doing with your promotion? III

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 3 minutes
    Whosoever desires to be promoted by God needs to remain humble and simple. I have noticed that many of us cannot sing and dance before the Lord because we have become very important. Remember how freely you worshipped the Lord when you first got saved! It is rather difficult to fellowship with some believers nowadays, because they have become so ‘adult’, serious, important… David, the shepherd, and King David – both praised and loved God in the same way; the change of position in life did not affect the condition of his heart. We have to cleanse our hearts from haughtiness and pride.

    1. Set apart some time for prayer and commit to it.2. Plan where you will pray.It does not have to be at home, but you also do not need to turn prayer into some religious ritual. Be creative when you choose the place for prayer. For instance, there was a time in my life when I made walking into prayer time. I called it “a prayer walk”. I went out in the street for the purpose of prayer.

  • Are you in bondage, in the wilderness or in your promise land?

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 4 minutes
    We read about how God promised the children of Israel a land flowing with milk and honey, but when it came time to possess it, as a nation they were not ready. There are attitudes that keep you in bondage and wandering in the wilderness, while a promised land flowing with milk and honey awaits you. The Bible is full of the record of sins that plagued the rest of the children of Israel which we are to be aware of today in our lives.
