Daily obedience to God in different areas of your life will bring you to your calling IV

«Praise the Lord! Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever» (Psalm 106:1).
Mercy of the Lord has been renewed this morning for every one of us. God rules! God loves people who live on this earth! Today God saves, heals and delivers!
«Behold, the Lord’s hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; nor His ear heave, that it cannot hear» (Isaiah, 59:1).
God loves every person. He has prepared an amazing destiny for every one of us. Each person is born for specific purpose. Every one has a calling, but only the Lord knows what that calling includes. When a person fully submits to the Lord, then He opens to this person everything that concerns his or her calling.Jesus once told Peter to step out of the boat and walk on the water. Until then no person had ever done this, so people thought it to be impossible. Peter obeyed the word of the Lord and walked on the water, thus making it possible.
«So He said, “Come”. And when Peter had come down out of the boat, he walked on the water to go to Jesus» (Mathew, 14:29).
Until that moment Peter could have not imagined that he could do something like it. Peter’s obedience made it possible for Peter to accomplish something that seemed humanly impossible. Peter walked on the water, while the rest stayed in the boat. These people never walked on the water not because it wasn’t possible, but because they were not obedient to God.When we obey God and do what He tells us, then impossible things become possible. Being obedient to God is difficult, sometimes painful; sometimes it implies suffering, but obedience always is rewarding.I never thought that once I will be able to stand before people and preach, because I was rather shy by nature, every very shy. But now I do it; I preach in different cities and countries. Today I preach to total strangers. God made it possible through my obedience to Him on a daily basis.God has a calling for every person. When each one of us becomes the servant of the Lord and is obedient to Him on a daily basis, then it becomes easy for us to enter our calling. And you can see it when you read Jesus’ parable about talents that we find in Mathew 25.
«For the kingdom of heaven is like a man travelling to a far country, who called his own servants and delivered his goods to them»(Mathew, 25:14).
God calls those people that have given Him their lives and consider Jesus to be their Lord.We talked about the fact that if we want to learn our calling and to enter it, we need to be obedient to God on a daily basis, as well as allow Jesus to become our Lord in all areas of our lives. Today I want to you to see that Jesus gave to every one of His servants according to his power or capability.
«And to one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one, to each according to his own ability; and immediately he went on a journey» (Mathew, 25:14-15).
We should not compare ourselves to other people or envy them if they have something that we do not have. It is wrong. God gives to everyone according to his or her ability and God makes us stewards of the talents He has given to us. There are people that are so much more talented than me; there are people that have a lot more understanding in certain matters than me. But I should not envy them; I shouldn’t feel inferior to them, – because that is a lie from the devil. Unfortunately, many people have believed this lie; for this reason they lack confidence and are passive in the matters of the Kingdom; they believe that there are others, more talented that are doing what needs to be done.Do not let the devil deceive you! You are a unique individual created according to God’s image and in His likeness. God has given every person unique talents that are crucial for the Kingdom of God. God has done everything for you to succeed in this life. But there is something you should do: you need to start using your talents, experience and all the other things that you have. God will never leave you! But remember that God meets half-way those who walks and acts!God bless you!Till tomorrow!Pastor Rufus Ajiboye

    One of the rewards of faithful service in the Kingdom of God is prosperity. The Bible says God is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him (Hebrew 11: 6). Jesus also said those who seek first the Kingdom of God and its righteousness will be rewarded with the necessities of life.Our God is a God who sees in the secret and who rewards us openly, so other can see it. God will never forget your work and the labour of love you showed towards His Name (Hebrew 6:10).

  • Worship the Lord

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 3 minutes
    God wants us to talk to Him the way we talk to our father. Jesus said in His prayer: “… blessed be Thy Name!” The word “bless” means He worshipped the God Father in reverence to Him. Worship prepares our soul to meet the God. It also involves our spirit. Just like in order to listen to a broadcast on the radio you need to tune it up first, worship helps us to turn our spirit on and tune it up on the God´s wave. Jesus taught:«You shall worship the Lord your God, and him only shall you serve»

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

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 2 minutes
    Problems draw our attention faster than anything else.Problems can become a spiritual “alarm clock” from God. This is what Job (36:15) points out: “He delivers the poor in their affliction, and opens their ears in oppression”.In times of prosperity and abundance we hear God as whispering, but in times of pain and suffering we hear Him loud and clear. God has an ability to revive our attention towards His Word and His voice. That is why Solomon says that in times of abundance we should enjoy life, but in times of suffering we should think about our life.

  • What are you doing with your promotion?

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 3 minutes
    Promotion is connected to the issue of wealth, and we are not talking just about money. Riches are more than money. Health, joy, good relationships, peace, rest, and love – those too are riches. Many people have lots of money, but they lack true riches. God tells us today not to be haughty and not trust in material things; we need to trust God alone. We should be generous and sociable. When problems come, God is the only One Who can help us. Trust God and do good works. By doing this, you will draw God’s attention and earn God’s promotion.

    According to the Bible, God´s highest goal for us is make us in likeness of Christ. He wants us to be like Jesus. Though, it doesn´t happen in at blink of an eye, it´s rather a process that develops as we allow the God´s word and other God´s means on to influence us. Spending your time with Jesus by reading the word of God and praying, fellowship with other christians, decently overcoming difficulties and pain – all these things help you to transform more and more, just as it happened to Jesus disciples.
