Don’t serve those things over which you, suppose to dominate according to the will of God

ByPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 2 minutes
Hello, dear friends!Thank God for this wonderful day that the Lord has granted unto us and thank God for yet another opportunity to be filled with the living word from Him!I would like to share with you today one vital lesson from the Gospel of Mark. 2:27-28:
“ And he said unto them, The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath: 28 Therefore the Son of man is Lord also of the Sabbath”
In this short statement of Jesus Christ there is a very important lesson hidden for us. God is saying here that the sabbath was made for man and not man for the sabbath.In life it is often possible to observe such a picture whereby those things over which man is meant to dominate are dominating over him instead. This distortion of the order established by God often results in many tragic problems in people’s lives today.Dear friend, how does this apply to your life? Are you in possession of things or they are in possession of you? Do you own things or they own you?In the Bible we are told that God gave dominion to man to use all things to the glory of God (Gen. 1:28). Are you ruling or exercising control over the things that God has placed under you or these things are rather ruling over you and controlling your life?For example, some people are under the complete control of cigarettes. Think once again about what the Lord is saying to us today: “…” The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath”Don’t become the servant of those things that should submit to you and serve you.This is the word of the Lord to you today: Don’t serve those things over which you are supposed to dominate according to the will of God.Money, alcohol, drugs, sex, pleasure, food, and many other things such as these ones-all of them should be under your feet. Don’t allow any of these things to dominate or rule over you. May God bless you today and give you understanding! Pastor Rufus Ajiboy

  • Definitely write down the vision you receive from God!

    First of all, you need a revelation from God. Learning to recognise the voice of your Heavenly Father and getting to know Him as your best friend is vitally important. God is willing to give you wisdom, understanding and revelation in every sphere of your life. Though, when a revelation and wisdom are received from God, you have to write them down in whole. Then it becomes a spring of life, that gives breathe to you and brings hope that releases faith and trust on God in you.To write something down means to record the vision a paper. We have to put it down clearly, the way it makes sense to us later. Thus, we can bring our vision into reality, so that we can expect it and put our hopes upon. This is one of the methods how to cling with the vision together and dedicate yourself to fulfil it. Prophet Habakkuk reminds us about the importance of writing down the vision you have received from God.

    It´s also important to know that Jesus knows everything, He possesses all hidden information, necessary for our mission. That´s why obedience to the Lord who knows everything is vitally important! When Jesus had a need for a donkey to ride upon to Jerusalem, He knew where to find the animal. He knew where to go and find that donkey. He knew how to bring that donkey to Him.

  • Everything that gets into God’s hands multiplies

    For several days now we have been discussing the how the gift when it is used makes room for us and takes us before great people. When the gift is used it broadens our possibilities and destroys limitations. Thank God for creating us just the way we are.Dear friend, you have been given the things you need to start your supernatural ministry. Do not view your gift as being something small and insignificant. When Jesus told His disciples to feed the multitude, they argued with Him, saying: “We have here only five loaves and two fish”. I guess the disciples expected Jesus to say: «Oh, yes! Then let the people go, because we don’t have enough for everyone!» But Jesus did not say that. He managed to feel the multitude of people because one little boy gave back to the Lord the little he had.

  • What drives your life?

    There are many things that drive people’s life, motivate them and influence their system of values.Many believers are driven by wrong motives today. In order to live strategically you definitely have to ask yourself these questions: “Why do I do what I do?”, “What are my secret motives?”, “What values influence my life?”, “What affects my decisions and my choice?”, “What is driving me in the spending of my money and time?”, “What drives my life?”

  • We can understand God and spiritual things by the spirit

    «Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path» (Psalm, 119:105).God’s Word is a light for me. By reading it I move towards light; it gives light to my steps. I get enlightened by God. God’s Word illuminates our path and brings clarity and direction to our lives. When we read it, clearness comes into our lives.There is so much confusion in the lives of many believers about different life issues. We understand that as believers we cannot live the same way the unbelievers live in this world, because God’s Spirit has inhabited our hearts and we are now the children of God.
