Don’t ever allow anything or anybody to stop you from serving.

ByPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 3 minutes
Good day friends!Today the word the Lord laid on my heart to share with you simply put is this: serve you way out of your dungeon. There are a lot of example of how people changed their status in life by faithfully serving God and others. The Joseph of the bible is an example worth emulating.Genesis 39: 20-23 This passage records how Joseph was thrown into the prison unjustly. The next chapter described the reaction of Joseph to the injustice that was done to him. How did he react? He kept on serving His God by serving people. He refused to focus on how badly he had been treated or how life has been unjust to him. Rather, Joseph concentrated on moving ahead in life by serving people through his spiritual gift.Genesis 40: 2-4 Friends, no matter how badly people or life itself has treated you, if you want to move ahead in life you have to learn how to focus on the right thing and chose the right life position. If despite all the odds of life you can still focus on using your gifts and talents; if you can still continue to serve people, then you will soon be able to change your status. That was exactly what happened to Joseph. As he served these two officers of pharaoh instead of concentrating on the offences of others, the door to his throne opened to him easily. Pharaoh sent for Joseph and fetched him out of the prison.Genesis 41: 9-14 
  • Are you in the pit right now because of what other people did to you?
  • Has your sweet and prosperous life been disrupted by the wickedness of people or some natural disaster?
  • Do you thing life is unjust to you?
  • Are you struggling to make ends meet despite your hard labour and great efforts?
 Stop complaining! Stop wasting your time planning on how to retaliate! Stop playing your self-pity game! Stop playing the blame game! Move ahead in life. Concentrate on how you can cultivate and develop the gifts and the talents God has given. Serve the people God has put in your life. Focus on how you can please God by loving and serving other people and attending to needs around you. Before you know it, you will have turned all evil plans against you into fortune. The Bible says it is more blessed to give than to receive (Acts 20:35). Jesus said the way to greatness is through service
”But it shall not be so among you: but whosoever will be great among you, let him be your minister; And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant:”(Mathew 20: 26-27).
The way to your throne is through serving, so learn to serve your way up. Ministry is a ladder that lead to the high place God has ordain for you in life. God’s word to you today is this: don’t ever allow anything or anybody to stop you from serving. Remember, when you serve or give, you actually benefit more than that the people you are serving. Remain blessed!

  • Walk in the light and do not give place to the devil!

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 4 minutes
    The measure of our understanding about importance of the lordship of Jesus Christ will determine the level of victory in our lives. No victory is possible without the lordship of Jesus Christ. The victory is where Jesus is. Only the person that allows Jesus Christ to be his or her Lord can truly walk in His victory.Today I would like to give you several illustrations of how, based on the understanding of the lordship of Jesus Christ, we gain protection from all the purposes of the devil. Let’s look into the Bible.

  • God wants prayer to become priority in the lives of His children!

    Everything that devil has bound up in your life – your miracle, your promises, – can be released to you by the supernatural power of God. But for it to happen, prayer must become your number 1 priority.Take any Bible story and you will see what powerful prayer of believers is able to accomplish. For example, what did Daniel do when he was thrown into lions’ den? Did he pray? No, it was too late to pray. He had been praying long before he got to this point in his life. It is too late to pray when you are in a den with some lions. You must pray before anything like that happens! Daniel prayed three times a day every day.

  • God is looking for fruits in your life!

    «Lord, I desire to bear more fruits in my life. I am asking You to cleanse me, so that I become capable of bearing more fruits. I accept God’s grace to stay on the vine tree. I shall bear much fruits for God in Jesus Name!»The Bible says we should grow until we reach perfection in Christ (see Ephesians, Chapter 4). Therefore, it doesn’t matter how anointed and fruitful you are now, there is a higher level prepared for you by God – the higher level of effectiveness and fertility.

    I want you to notice that it is required of us to accept the Word if we want it to bear fruit. People with stony hearts also accept the Word, but there is a difference between them and those whose heart is identified as being good ground. People with stone hearts receive the Word on the emotional level, on the surface; besides, they are not consistent, and as a result the Word cannot take root in their hearts.«…and they have no root in themselves…» (Мark 4:17)

  • What sin means?

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 4 minutes
    When a person does not submit to God’s Word and despises His instructions, he or she sins. God has particular plan or will for every area of person’s life and it is spelled out in the Bible. But when you life according to your own wishes and do not pay attention to what God says about it, then tragedies are inevitable. For some time it may seem that you have outsmarted God, but this deceptive feeling won’t last long. These people sat in darkens and the shadow of death; they were bound in grief because they did not submit to God’s Word and despised His will.«Fools, because of their transgression, and because of their iniquities, were afflicted. Their souls abhorred all manner of food, and they drew near to the gates of death» (Psalm, 107:17-18).
