ByPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 4 minutes
Dear readers, welcome to the  of our column “Daily word for spiritual  edification ”!  I thank God everyone of you, my readers and I pray that your hunger for God’w word, His wisdom and communion with Him will never wax cold, because He is the source of life.As we have clarified, God reveals His covenant and His secrets to certain category of people, namely:
  • God reveals His secrets to those who fear and love Him.
  • God reveals His secrets to those standing on their watch.
  • God reveals His secrets to those who sincerely ask Him questions.
  • God also reveals His secrets to those who value His revelations enough to write them down
So yesterday we discussed in details the importance of  writing down your revelations and visions received from God.It´s very important that you understand this. It’s very common to se someone making a serious decision regarding certain issue in his life  and is determined to follow through  with that  decision. But somehow his determination begins to wobble and change according to his mood or his circumstances.Sometimes we doubt whether the vision we had came from God or it was just our own idea. Sometimes we rather agree that as humans we are limited in our abilities, thus we limit the scope of what God wants to fulfil in us and through us.However, the Scriptures say:
«… for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, driven by the wind and tossed. For let that man not think that he will receive anything from the Lord. He is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.» (James 1:6-8).
Written or recorded words create  a memorial or a monuments to truth, allowing you to run confidently towards your goal. Recorded vision allows you to always keep your vision before your eyes. When you re-read the vision, faith rises up inside you, giving you the ability to move forward and implement your vision.Write your vision down! Add to that vision  promises from Scriptures that would stimulate you to move towards the implementation of your vision.By writting down you vision, you make it clearer for yourself, and that, in turn, helps you to develop real strategies and clearer plans to achieve your vision. Without these things your vision will die.Yet another benefit of writing your vision down is that it helps other people to acquaint themselves with your vision, thus providing the opportunity for others to join  with you in it’s implementation. Writtind down your vision  will help you in the process of communicating, passing  and delegating it  to those who would like to help you  to fulfill your vision.Having  acquainted themlves with your recorded vision, people will understand it and join with you,  contributing efforts and time  and all that is needed for the fulfillment of the vision.Moreover, by writing down your vision, you allow certain group of people  to rally together as they participate in the execution of your God-given vision.  This will give direction and guidance to those whom God has called to help you.
«…Write the vision, and make it plain on tablets, that he may run who reads it.» (Habakkuk 2:2).
Record everything you believe God is speaking to your heart during prayer, fasting or Bible studies!For example, you may say:“I want to preach the word of God with signs and wonders following”, or “I want bring relief to orphans building homes for them”, or ”I want to establish school that will empower and prepare ministers in the church”.Even if  it seems to you at the time that you would never be able to realize those dreams,  write them down anyway. Write them down regardless of whether they look realistic to you or not! Remember, that our God is the God of impossible things, He is not limited by our weaknesses and human capabilities, He works despite all  of those things. God will fulfil the dreams that He has placed in your heart. Even though, we are imperfect people who receive visions from God in imperfect way, we still have to write the visions down, otherwise God will not have that with which He can work in our life.Tomorrow I will share my personal experience on this topic.God bless you all!Rufus AJiboye, pastor

  • How do we know if we have the fear of God in our lives?

    The first way to know this is to understand that the fear of God expresses itself in a hatred of evil.“To fear the Lord is to hate evil; I hate pride and arrogance, evil behavior and perverse speech” (Prov. 8:13) (see also Prov. 3:7; 14:16; 16:6; 23:17; Job. 1:1,8; ; II Cor. 7:1). This is just the opposite of the wicked (Eccl. 8:13—”Yet because the wicked do not fear God, it will not go well with them, and their days will not lengthen like a shadow”). (see also Prov. 1:29; Ps. 36:1-4. ).

    “Those who sow in tears shall reap in joy. He continually goes forth weeping, bearing seed for sowing, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing sheaves with him” (Psalm 126:5-6). This Scripture confirms that the one who sows and labours – even if it takes tears – will doubtlessly reap with joy. If we use our God given seed correctly, which means if we sow the seed even with tears then God promises us abundant harvest and lots of joy. All these parables of Jesus tell us of the kingdom of God.

  • We have to be ready to go wherever God sends us to

    As we concluded yesterday, we have to become obedient disciples, so that our families, our church and our towns can be stirred. God uses obedient disciples to fulfil His prophesies and restore His will on Earth. Even more, we have to be ready to go wherever God sends us to. Thus we can fulfil our calling. Obedience to call begins with obedience to short instructions God gives to us through His word and our leaders in Christ.It´s also important to know that Jesus knows everything, He possesses all hidden information, necessary for our mission. That´s why obedience to the Lord who knows everything is vitally important! When Jesus had a need for a donkey to ride upon to Jerusalem, He knew where to find the animal. He knew where to go and find that donkey. He knew how to bring that donkey to Him.
