Do You Hear What God Speaks? II

ByPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 3 minutes
Greetings to you, dear friends!Praises to the Lord for this day that He has given us! I am grateful to God for another opportunity to be filled with His living Word!Yesterday, we started to speak about, whether we hear what God tells us.We found out that we continually hear someone’s voice. The voice of our common sense is especially loud. God is a Spirit therefore we cannot understand God with our minds.Apart from the voice of our common sense, we often hear the voice of our feelings. Also feelings have a voice. But neither this voice always reflects what God says. Our feelings are changing, quite often they depend on outer factors – our mood, weather, how tired we are, etc. If we listen to our feelings only, our chances to constant success are eliminated.For instance, you can often feel lonely, weak, unloved, a failure, etc. Nevertheless, such feelings often do not accord with reality. If you are lead by your feelings and take them as truth, you will not be able to enjoy the life in abundance that God has prepared for you. God gives this life only to those who hear His voice and follow Him!
“My sheep listen to My voice; I know them, and they follow Me. I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one can snatch them out of My hand.” (John 10:27-28).
In order to live a solid and happy life in God, it is important that you learn to ignore the voice of your feelings and listen to God’s voice. If the Word of God is the basis for every of your actions, then your feelings will start to change and begin to accord to the truth of God’s Word, whatever your feelings might be. Feelings always follow our thoughts and are subdued to our correct actions. Our feelings are servants, and they are subdued to our will, decisions and actions.Many people are lead by the voice of their feelings, therefore they are not solid in God, and God cannot reach them and give them life in abundance. When you follow the voice of feelings, often Satan can lead you away from God and the right path. They who follow the voice of feelings often experience disappointment and are depressed. Allowing the voice of feelings to lead you – this means to put yourself in difficult circumstances that you cannot cope with, instead of overcoming these circumstances.We will continue this topic tomorrow and will learn what the voices are that claim to be ruling over our lives and will learn which one of these voices are the only true voice.With the peace of God!Pastor Rufus Ajiboye

    Today I would like to talk to you about the preparation of the way of the Lord. The preparation of the way precedes the coming of the Lord. Our readiness to meet God determines the actual experience with God. If we are not ready, we will be left outside of what God is doing. But if we are adequately prepared, we will be qualified to experience the visitation of the Lord. Let’s look the Scripture.

    When we talk about changes, we talk about the condition of one’s heart. What others do to us does not come from us; it is directed towards us to test the condition of our hearts. Our reaction to the actions of others and the outside pressure determine the content of our hearts.«Keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it spring the issues of life» (Proverbs, 4:23).

    Can we serve God on His conditions, instead of ours? does our service to God cost us something? Whether we give to God the rests of our time which and so is not present, or we give to It from the rudiments? Do we give to God the left over of times or do we commit the first fruit of our time to God? Do we serve God only when that is convenient and favourablу for us, or we are ready to sacrifice our comfort for the sake of the interests of the Kingdom God?

  • What good does reading of the Bible does to a person?

    «All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness…» (2 Timothy, 3:16).It is written that God’s Word is profitable for reproof. What is reproof? Reproof is when you are showed when you are being wrong. Quite often you and I are wrong; we need to be corrected by the Word of God.But the Bible not only corrects us; it also teaches us. The Bible disciplines and edifies us. The Bible helps us to realize how we can our lives and where to start.

  • 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).
