Everybody is dedicated to something the question is what or whom. What or whom are you dedicated to in your life?

 Good day, dear friends! I thank God for you and I believe this day will bring you huge blessings along your reasoning about the word God has given to you today. We are talking about how important your consecration and doing God´s will is. Taking Jesus life as an example we clarified that:

 

  • Jesus valued God´s will higher than food for the body.
  • Jesus never ever sought His but God´s will in everything.
  • Jesus set priorities on whom to spend the most of His time with.
  • Jesus rejoiced when His disciples reported that demons subjected to them in His Name.

As we said earlier, a person consecrated himself to God builds his relationship or friendship based on his purpose or his consecration to God, thus spending the most of his time with people who follow the same way as him. I also want to point out that Jesus sought every opportunity to fulfil God´s will instead of looking for an excuse why He couldn´t fulfil it.

 

«Jesus said to them, “My food is to do the will of him who sent me, and to accomplish his work. Don’t you say, ‘There are yet four months until the harvest?’ Behold, I tell you, lift up your eyes, and look at the fields, that they are white for harvest already. He who reaps receives wages, and gathers fruit to eternal life; that both he who sows and he who reaps may rejoice together.» (John 4:34-36).

 

Person consecrated himself to God never postpones things for tomorrow, never makes excuses when it´s time to stand up and act. Jesus reprimanded His disciples for their intention to wait for four months until the harvest, while as He affirmed there was no time any more. The harvest was already vanishing and decaying due to lack of working hands. Sense of understanding of time is the difference between effective and successful people and those who are ineffective and fruitless.

Jesus said: «I must work the works of him who sent me, while it is day. The night is coming, when no one can work.» (John 9:4),

 

while the disciples said they still had four months of time.

Consecrated person always seeks opportunity to fulfil his mission. So Jesus set a good example for us what consecration is and what it means to be consecrated to God. He also proved that person´s consecration reflects on his life style. Everybody is dedicated to something the question is what or whom. What or whom are you dedicated to in your life? Whom do you follow in your life? What is the engine of your life? What is your friendship with other people based upon? What makes you rejoice in your life? Is your dedication connected to eternal life and God´s will for your life?

Please consider answering these questions, while you still have a chance to change something in your life! I wish every reader would consecrate himself to fulfil his purpose and God´s will for his life.

God bless you abundantly!

Rufus Adjiboje, pastor

  • We must be grateful to God in all things!

    When things go fine and when God answers our prayers, it is easy to thank God, – at those times we thank God and adore Him. But as soon as God decides to answer us in a way that does not fit our plans, we start thinking whether there is any sense in prayer. The Bible calls us to thank God in everything. The Bible calls us to praise God aloud so that other people would hear it. Be grateful to God, praise him, and sing to Him – aloud! Thanksgiving is the very model of prayer that Jesus gave to His disciples.

  • Plan, plant, pray, but also act!

    I want to begin this word with a story: A man had a wonderful garden that brought him a rich, abundant harvest. When his neighbor saw that, he decided that the next spring he would make a garden for himself too. But after the neighbor had sawn seeds in his garden, he did not do anything there afterward. He did not water his garden, did not cultivate, neither loosened the soil. When the autumn came, his garden was neglected and full with weeds. And, of course, it did not bring forth any fruit.

  • 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.

  • The lordship of Jesus Christ

    The phrase „Jesus is Lord!” is quite often used by the children of God. But being the children of God, we cannot treat this concept in a superficial or religious manner. The lordship of Jesus has a deep spiritual meaning. We should not casually proclaim or declare His lordship without the correct understanding of what it really implies. God wants us today to discover for ourselves what the true essence of the lordship of Jesus is and to act accordingly.

  • Be a good example for your children, your younger brothers and sisters!

    Children watch and learn from us, and they will repeat what they have seen their parents do. For this reason we can say they being a parent is a calling and assignment from God; the task of a parent is to set correct patterns and show a right example for the children. When the woman from Canaan turned to Jesus in a time of distress she did not think that she is setting an example for her daughter of dealing with hard times. Our children need us not just ‘to talk the talk’, but to live in a correct way and demonstrate our convictions by our daily walk.
