Do you know that you are not all you could be yet?

ByPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 3 minutes

Good day my friends! I am so glad to welcome you again to the pages of our Daily word for Spiritual edification.

Today I want to share with you a powerful thought from Mathew 4: 18-20.

“And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers. 19And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.  20And they straightway left their nets, and followed him”

In the above passage, Jesus saw two brothers trying to catch fish by the sea side and immediately recognized that they have a better destiny, so He instructed them to follow Him. This word of God to you today is this: Follow me and I will make you.

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.

You cannot make yourself. You need the hand of the master potter Himself. That is the point of this message. Allow the potter to mould you into the person you are created and ordained to be. As clay is useless unless it is submitted to the hand of the potter, so will our lives be wasted until we learn to follow Him.

The only condition for Him to make you is to follow Him. Follow Me and I WILL MAKE YOU, is the clear instruction!

Have you made up your mind to follow Him? Is your decision to follow Him affecting your life and actions on a daily basis? Peter and Andrew left their nets and back up their decision with a definite action, are you still holding unto some nets that are hindering you to follow the Master and the Potter?

Those are the screening God want you to do today.

And by the way, WHAT DOES IT MEANS TO FOLLOW ANOTHER, – TO FOLLOW CHRIST?

Among all things, following Christ mean

  1. To obey Him. Follow His teaching, commandments and instruction

  2. To yield or submit to His correction

  3. To set His life before you as an example.

The scriptures says “Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. 3For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds”

We are to follow His actions, his steps and His examples. From today on turn this into your prayer: “Lord as I follow you, I thank you for making me and turning my destiny loose”May the Almighty Lord bless you abundantly this day!Pastor Rufus Ajiboye

    « Because I have called, and you have refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no one has paid attention; … Then will they call on me, but I will not answer. They will seek me diligently, but they will not find me; Because they hated knowledge, And didn’t choose the fear of Yahweh. » (Proverbs 1:24, 28, 29).In these verses God tells us about the necessity to change our attitude towards His call, otherwise He would not listen to our calling the time we run to Him with our petitions. Forget about your own problems and take part in finding solutions for the needs and problems God has today, He will become a part of a solution for your problems then.

  • Worthy Goal for Life II

    Yesterday we started talking about our goals. Everyone has them. We discussed that there are worthy and less worthy goals. We also saw that after meeting Christ, Paul devoted his life to Him; earnest expectation of Christ to be glorified in his body and through his life became his main goal in life. It is very important to ascertain for ourselves what our goals are.You and I have been justified by faith in Jesus Christ and we have peace with God. But it is just the beginning. Having been reconciled with God is just the beginning of the Christian walk. What awaits us afterwards? Through faith we gain Access to God’s grace and we expect the glory of God to be progressively revealed in us and through us.

  • The Christian as an ambassador

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 4 minutes
    There are many metaphors used in the Bible to reveal to us what are our essence and our task on the Earth. The word “messenger or “ambassador” is one of them. Paul uses this word in his letter to Corinthians:«Namely, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to himself, not reckoning to them their trespasses, and having committed to us the word of reconciliation. We are therefore ambassadors on behalf of Christ, as though God were entreating by us. We beg you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God». (2nd Corinthians 5:19-20).

  • Habit is a compilation of knowledge, skills and willingness

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 4 minutes
    Knowledge is an understanding of theory of what we have to do and why. In order to make something as your habit you need to understand the theoretical aspects of such necessity. How is it connected to our praying life? Let me explain that. We acquire knowledge by reading the Bible, Word of God. We know why we have to pray, then we can make a habit of praying, just because we know what we have to do. We should pray without ceasing – I know this and so I do why. Let me elaborate on it. Awareness of what I gain or lose by having a particular habit helps us to develop that habit.

  • How are you running the race set before you by God?

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 4 minutes
    There is a race set before every one of us to run. Many people call it the will of God or God’s assignment for you. No matter what you call it, it is important to understand that we are not just here to live an aimless life. Your life has a purpose. One reason we are given time is to discover God’s purpose for your life and pursue that purpose making use of every opportunity and resources given to you by God.

  • Why is it so important to hold on to eternal life?

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 5 minutes
    If you won’t be alert and pray, you won’t even notice how eternal life will slip away from you. Have you ever tried to hold a live fish in your hands? Even if you manage to take it, it can cunningly slip out of your hands. In the very same way eternal life can slip away from you without you even noticing. You won’t notice the moment when that happens. You could go on with your religious activities, attending church meetings, praying, reading the Bible, but not be on the way to eternal life. None of these things is able to guarantee to you that you will surely keep eternal life. You know, so many unbelievers do all these things: they go to church, read their Bibles, pray.
