Do not be afraid to work; do not be afraid to sacrifice your time to the Lord! II

Greetings to you, dear friends! Grace and peace to you from God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ!Yesterday we talked about the fact that we should not be ashamed of what the Lord has given us nor despise our talents.Don’t be ashamed of what you have. God has given you those particular talents for you to multiply them, not to hide them. Do not waste your strength on hiding from your calling. Let your talents be visible to others. The talents you possess do not actually belong to you; they belong to the Lord. So, if you are ashamed to use them, it means you are ashamed of the Lord Himself.
“For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words, of him the Son of Man will be ashamed when He comes in His own glory, and in His Father’s, and of the holy angels” (Luke, 9:26).
We mustn’t be ashamed of God and what He has delivered to us.Sinners usually are not ashamed to publically demonstrate what they are able to do, how shameless they are; but we – being the children of God – are way too shy. Sinners openly display all kinds of filth, but we keep silent because we are too shy. It is not right! We should boldly proclaim God’s message.Today we once again will talk about the three servants from Jesus’ parable of talents. We already saw that when the first two servants received their talents, they saw an opportunity they did not have before. They were not afraid to work hard; they valued the time they had, since they realized that their master could come back any time and they had trained themselves for this assignment. The third servant though was ashamed of his talent delivered to him by his master; he did not find it special or valuable and he did not use this as an opportunity for growth.Based on the actions of these three servants, God wants to teach us something:* We must prepare ourselves, study and grow.* We shouldn’t waste our time.* We should work hard.* We shouldn’t be ashamed of using our gifts in ministry.* We should use our talents however small it seems.* We should stop looking for excuses.In this life, EVERYTHING we have grows when we use and apply it.May this word become the beginning of marvellous changesfor you .Let’s continue tomorrow!Pastor Rufus Ajiboye

God helped Abraham to believe Him, Who calls those things which do not exist as though they did. This is the principle of right confession. God calls those things that do not exist as though they did. When God gave Abram a new name – Abraham, he did not have any descendants. Neverthelss, because of this new name Abraham began calling himself “a father of many nations”. And when he called himself by name or he was called by others – every time what God had purposed was confessed – particularly that Abraham is going to be a father of many nations. We see that Abraham „contrary to hope, in hope believed, so that he became the father of many nations…”

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.

You won’t have a ministry if you don’t start using what you have now

The topic of our devotion today is “Your gift will make room for you”.We have been talking about how all big things start small, whether it is a known person, great ministry, great accomplishments or great influence. It all starts when a person does what he can do and does it with all his might as unto the Lord with faith and consistency. When one has such attitude towards life he will have his or her reward from the Lord. Such a person will be blessed and exalted by God. His or her gift will make room for him or her in God’s overall picture and the Body of Christ.Person’s gift will make room for him and will bring him before great men, – this is on of the Bible principles; the Bible teaches about it and also it can be seen in the lives of the people in the Bible.

The Bible also states that everything God does endures forever. Nobody is able to destroy or cancel what God makes and builds. For this reason nobody was able to harm Jesus before the appointed time, when Jesus Himself gave up His soul. Jesus was protected by God the Father because he followed the leading and the guidance of the Father.

The lordship of Jesus Christ is what helps us to walk free from the accusations of Satan; with it in our lives, the blood of Jesus Christ works on our behalf. Our accuser is not the only voice before God; our Advocate and Intercessor Jesus Christ is also there defending us. If you will listen to the accuser, you consider yourself dirty and you won’t have the confidence and boldness to come before God. But if you will listen to your Intercessor Jesus Christ, then you will walk in repentance and the blood of Jesus Christ will cleanse you.

Preparation is a key to effective life

AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 3 minutes
In reality, effective life is impossible without appropriate preparation. Jesus solved the question of effectiveness by preparing Himself for the ministry. There is almost no information about what Jesus had been doing during the first 30 years of His life. Gospels tell us the story about His ministry. Meanwhile, we need to understand that prior to starting His ministry Jesus had been seriously preparing himself for quite a long time.
