Find someone you can trust fully and without holding back and confess to them!

ByPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 5 minutes
Greetings to you, dear friends!Grace and peace to you from Father God and our Lord Jesus Christ!Yesterday we established the main biblical forms of accountability. Let’s name them again:(1)    Teacher – disciple.(2)    Comrades and collaborates in the Lord.(3)    Team or small group (home group).(4)    Marriage.(5) Local church.We also talked about the fact that it all begins with your decision to be accountable to someone, because that is God’s will for every one in us. Besides, we saw that we need to pray for God to show us the person He wants to us to be accountable to. We saw that this person must be devoted to God and not compromise God’s Word, is not afraid to speak the truth, because he loves you and wants to help you. Also you must respect this person and be willing to accept correction and instruction from him or her.One more important moment is that it is advisable to seek the help of a person of the same sex: woman to woman, man to man. Of course, there can be exception, for example, husband and wife, father and daughter, mother and son, brother and sister, close relatives etc.When you open up to a person God has placed as overseer over you, you must go to that person and tell him that you want to be accountable to him and give regular accounts of your life. Besides, you must give this person time to think over your proposal. If he or she is willing to enter this type of relationships, then together you have to decide on the time, form and structure of your meetings. Also you must determine how often you will meet, what you are going to talk about, what issues you will discuss. This person should be able to ask you a forward question about how far you are willing to let him into the matters of your life. He has a right to get an answer to this question because it wasn’t his idea to start this relationship; it was yours, and you are the one that wants to give account to him or her. And you did it being aware that this relationship provides for you God’s protection and healing.God desires to heal many of you who are reading this message. He wants you to find that person who you can give account to and repent of your actions and offences. Through accountability God wants to heal you and give you freedom. Some of you are tormented by not being able to confess your hidden sins. But God is calling you to allow His light shine upon those areas of your life that have been hidden until now.Based on the authority of God’s Word and by God’s Spirit I say to you that if you will not open the dark areas of your life to the person you are accountable to, then sooner or later everything will become evident to everyone; one of the Bible principles is that everything that is hidden will be brought to light.So, find someone you can trust fully and without holding back and confess to them. When that happens, you will experience tremendous freedom!Freedom comes when we walk in the light; it is not just how long we pray. When we do the right things that are based on God’s Word, the Son of God sets us free and we are free indeed: 
«Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, “If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free» (John, 8:31-32).
 Lift up your hands to the Lord right now and say:«Dear Lord, I want to do Your will. Help me, Lord! I have no fear. The only fear I want to have in my life is the fear of the Lord. I don’t care what other people think of me, – I want to do what is right and I want to change. I want to give to you all my fears and faults, all the things that stand as a barrier in the way to growth and healing. I want to live in true freedom and wholeness. I want to be open before You and the people You have placed as overseers over my life. Help me, Jesus, to overcome my fears: fear of being vulnerable, fear of rejections, and fear of condemnation. Help me to overcome my distrust towards people. I thank You for delivering me from the things of my past. I thank you, Lord, for freedom. I do not want to experience the burdens of past sins. I want to move forward in God and enjoy the new life. Thank you, Lord, in Jesus name! Thank you for the revelation of Your Word. Thank you, Jesus, for the truth that sets us free. I want to be accountable; that is why I accept Your grace to live in  this truth. I accept God’s ability to do it, in Jesus name! I thank you, Jesus, for everything!» May God abundantly bless you and pour His grace upon you!Pastor Rufus Ajiboye

    The Church of Jesus Christ is the place of accountability and not where everyone does what comes to his mind. The New Testament contains many of God’s commandments that have the phrase “one another” in them. It tells us that we do not only walk before God, but also walk before one another. For example, it says in several verses that we should love one another.

    God counts on our involvement and participation just as He counted on Moses’ victory over Pharaoh. Moses was faithful in the house of God, and for this reason Pharaoh could not stop the process of the deliverance and the salvation of God’s people despite his power, his strength and his huge army.Jesus Christ was faithful to His mission and for this reason in Him all people in this world have an opportunity to receive redemption, salvation and deliverance.

  • Jesus as the example of a true minister

    We see that Jesus experienced serious difficulties in the days of His earthly life, but He did not focus on them. Jesus was busy serving the Father and those He was sent to serve. While Jesus served people, the Father made sure people ministered to Jesus; God met Jesus’ needs through His ministry.When we serve others, God motivates others to serve us. We always reap what we have sown. We do not serve people because we do not have any problems, – we serve people because it pleases God. And when we serve, despite the fact that we have problems, needs and concerns, God makes sure some people that we do not even know serve us by meeting our needs

    If we have seed and sow it in good ground, then we will definitely see a harvest. Seed will grow. Sown seed first gives blade, then head and then grain in the head. Multiplication and growth always imply process. It is unavoidable if we want to receive harvest. We just have to do our part. First, that we have to understand in order to receive harvest is that we need some seed. The truth is that we already have seed. If you want to see multiplication in some area of your life you should know that you already have seed from God.

  • All great things always start small and insignificant

    Yesterday we began talking about how all great things always start small and insignificant. In order to enter the fullness of your calling and ministry, we need to do what is revealed to us today whatever that would be. Your knowledge, your experience and your mind – these are all gifts from God which we can use in serving people. When you serve people with your gifts, then these gifts make room for you. «A man’s gift makes room for him, and brings him before great men» (Proverbs, 18: 16).Studying the church history, we see that all of God’s generals didn’t start big. These people used what they had and did whatever they could. They began using the abilities they had. Eventually, their gifts found their place in the Body of Christ and grew into large ministries.

    «For if we judge ourselves, we would not be judged. But when we are judged, we are chastened by the Lord, that we may not be condemned with the world» (1 Corinthians, 11:31-32).So God chastises His children not for His own pleasure, but for our correction and for us to participate in His holiness. God does that in order for us to bring forth the peaceful fruit of righteousness and not to be condemned with the world.
