Do not focus of what you do not have; simply go ahead and use what you have!

 Greetings to you on this wonderful summer day! Indescribable beauty of nature that has been created by God surrounds us every day. Find some time today to look at the sky, to enjoy trees, flowers, and birds. God is the Amazing Creator of visible and invisible things. And everything He has created is wonderful and perfect. In the same amazing manner God created every human being. King David said:
«I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; marvellous are Your works, and that my soul knows very well» (Psalm 139:14).
Every human being is a unique work of God. Every one has been given unique abilities and talents. There isn’t one unnecessary person on this earth; there isn’t one insignificant talent or ability. Everything that God created is needed by someone and is intended as a blessing for someone. Look at yourself today in a new light and see that you are a unique personality highly gifted by God; you are a unique specimen. There isn’t another person on this earth like you! But sometimes we are distracted when we start comparing ourselves to others and envying them just because they have something we do not have. For this reason we stop appreciating the things that God has given us and sometimes it makes us passive and inert.I remember how God gave me a desire to right a book about fasting. At first I thought, «Why do I need to write about it? What new things can I reveal in it? What else can be written on the topic?» When a friend of mine who lives in Germany heard my contemplation, he said he did not agree with me. He said, «May be there are many things written about it, but you are going to write your book. You will write like nobody else. It will be an original and unique work». He persuaded me and I wrote the book. One day I went to Kiev and a woman came to me. She started to thank me for writing the book. She said that she was from Armenia and than my book had become a great blessing for her. I was astounded because I had never been to Armenia. She said she had read ‘Then they will fast’, which was the first edition of my book and consisted of only 20 pages. (Now we have the second edition available.) This lady told me that she had problems with fasting. She had tried fasting, but was not successful. She had read multitude of books by great preachers such as Derek Prince etc. But nothing worked until she read my 20-page book about fasting. She said that she experienced a total breakthrough in the area.This lady greatly encouraged me with her testimony. Today I can freely say that I praise God for not being Derek Prince, for example. Derek Prince was more talented; he could reveal the truths of the Scripture in a special way and I am glad for it. But I am also glad that I am Rufus. Each of us has received from God according to our ability. A problem is that some people use their God-given talents, but others do not.It is not important how many talents you have; it is important that you are using what you have. Do not focus of what you do not have; simply go ahead and use what you have. That is what the parable of talents is all about.May God help you us your uniqueness and apply your potential for the spreading of God’s Kingdom. May it be said about you,
«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).
We will continue tomorrow. I wish God’s abundant blessings!Pastor Rufus Ajiboye

    Many people have learned to call upon the name of God, but they do not have a slightest idea of the fear of the Lord. It is very important to understand that our provision depends not only on our ability to call upon God, but also on the level of the fear of God in our lives.My lifestyle is what determines the power of my prayers. Anyone who calls upon God must also fear God, – and that is what it means to call upon God in truth.«The LORD is near to all who call upon Him, to all who call upon Him in truth» (Psalm, 145: 18).

    Do you know that you are not all you could be yet? Only the Lord knows who you are created to be and He wants to make you become who you are really created to be. That is why He said “I will make you”.Peter and His brother were created to be Fishers of men, but they did not know that until they started to follow Christ.The bible said they straightway left their nets, and followed him. Their destiny was changed that very day. That was the point the Lord began to make them into who they were created to be.

  • Your surrounding has an impact on you, it determines whether you enter the destiny God has prepared for you or you don´t

    How and with whom you spend your time reflect your consecration and desire to do God´s will. Looking at the life of Jesus, we can see whom He preferred to spend most of His time with, namely, those who similar to Him desired to do God´s will. If you surround yourself with people who are not going anywhere in this life, you will soon lose your purpose and direction in your life as well. Spending a lot of time with those who have no revelation about their lives soon also you won´t be able to see the goal of your life. Exactly these things happened to Abraham. God called him out of his country, his relatives and his father´s house to the land God showed to him.
