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!

    Dear children of God, once again I welcome to „Daily Word for Spiritual Edification”!We have established that God only comes when we have prepared the way for Him. We can do that by ministering to Him and fulfilling His calling in our lives. We pointed out that we have to use all possible means to preach the Gospel of Kingdom in this world, because that is the necessary prerequisite for the Coming of the Lord in glory and power. Let’s look at one more verse from the Scripture that talk about preparing the way of the Lord.

  • What else does God use in order to make necessary changes in us?

    1. God changes us through accountability.In order to change us, God often subordinates us to a person we have to give an account to. A person without responsibility is blind to see his own level of arrogance, rebellion and selfishness he has to get over. Accountability is a kind of protection from misbelief and self-deception for us.

  • God doesn’t want us to give up! III

    First of all, God ”will not allow you to be tempted above what you are able”. Maybe you don´t even feel that He is keeping all your situations under control but as a matter of fact, He has already set the limit of your hardships. God will not let things, that are above what you can bear, enter your life. You probably underestimate your own strength, but God knows better. When your reasoning is right you prevail over hardships. God will not allow you to be tempted above what you are able, so you can overcome all difficulties in life – that´s the idea you should feed your mind with.

  • Worthy Goal for Life II

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 4 minutes
    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.

  • What is a breakthrough? II

    Breakthrough always changes a person’s status and position. Today, I want to draw your attention to the fact that in this story, not only the crippled man experienced a breakthrough but also Peter and John, the Apostles. Not only the cripples need a breakthrough. Every person needs a breakthrough!Along with the crippled man, also Peter and John, the Apostles, experienced a breakthrough, because miracles that had not happened beforein through their ministry took place exactly on that day. Ever since then, different miracles never ceased in their lives and ministries. Even the shadow of Peter who started healing the sick as he passed by them. Imagine what will happen to you when you begin to experience a continual breakthrough in every sphere of your life.
