God gives to everyone according to his or her ability

ByMācītājs Rufus Adžiboije Reading Time: 3 minutes
How good and wonderful is our Lord Jesus Christ! His majesty and beauty surrounds us every day. And this day is not an exception! God’s mercies are new this morning for every one of us!How do we take this daily mercy and grace that God shows to us? God expects us to be busy with His work; He wants us to use and to develop our talents for the Kingdom of God. God has not deprived us of talents; He has given gifts to everyone.
„And to one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one, to each according to his own ability…» (Mathew, 25:15).
Ability is power for action and achievement. Every one of us has some amount of power and ability. Abilities determine what God can entrust you with or give to you. Why did God give five talents to one, but only one to another? The person who was given five talents had developed his ability to the level of five talents. The person who was given one talent had developed his ability to the level of one talent, so it was impossible to entrust to him anything more than that. You might be asking God why He does not give you more than you have today. He cannot give you more because you won’t be able to manage it. God knows our abilities; by considering them, He shows us His love. It is God’s love that gives to us according to our abilities – no more and no less. Everything you have at the moment fits the level you can manage and it matches your abilities. If you want to have more – more money, influence, fruit or anything else – then you need to develop your ability, because God won’t give more than you can handle. We do not have problems with desires and fantasies; we want so much; but coupled with every blessing, there is responsibility. Do not ask God to give you blessings, if you are not ready to take full responsibility for it, because it can destroy you and you will lose a lot more than just the blessing.God gives to everyone according to his or her ability. We all want more. We want our churches to have more people, but God – according to your ability – will give you what you can handle. God will be able to entrust you His blessings according to the level of your responsibility. For example, you are in a predicament and you think, „Why do I have to live through this?” But God knows that you can handle it. We often are not aware of how responsible or irresponsible we are, but God is. God knows the burden you are able to carry. You may think and say to yourself, «No, I am not able to bear this! I am not capable!» Until you actually go through it, you won’t be able to imagine what you are capable of.God will not let you carry more you are able to. God is our loving Father! His desire is for you to succeed in this life!We will continue tomorrow!I wish you abundant God’s blessings on this day!Pastor Rufus Ajiboye

    Jesus must be the centre of everything. Every member does its share and then the Body grows in the love of God and every one enjoys and benefits from it. We will all enjoy the Church, if every one of us does his or her part to the best of our abilities. I need to do only what I am able to do and not worry about what I do not have and what I cannot do, – otherwise i will be crush under such burden.

  • How can we experience God in our life? III

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 5 minutes
    Let Him talk to your heart today. We keep on talking about how we can experience God´s presence, power and His mercy in our life. Yesterday we stated that constant fellowship with God is mandatory in order to experience these things. We quoted many verses from Scripture telling us that people who love God have obvious advantages. For such people God has prepared many pleasant surprises and all things together work for good in their lives and God Himself appears to them.«We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose.» (Romans 8:28).

  • Faith is obedience to the Lord!

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 4 minutes
    Are you willing to experience God and His power in your life? If so, trust God and express it via your obedience to Him. The Bible says that without faith you can´t please the Lord. If you don´t please God you cannot experience His presence nor power neither. When God reveals you something He is going to accomplish, you have to follow his invitation without hesitation. It proves your devotion and your desire to listen to His voice. Meanwhile, disobedience turns your heart to stone and shuts our ears to God´s voice. Faith is acting in accordance to the word of God. Quite often God calls us to do impossible things, those only God Himself can accomplish.

    God has created us in His image and likeness, and He made us to be His children and He has separated us for Himself. God brought us into His wonderful light, into His Kingdom – through Jesus Christ! God has created us in Christ Jesus for good works, which He has ordained for us to do! This is alone is enough to give us a reason to be greatful to God. None of us deserve all these benefits, but God – because of His great love for us – has done all of these things for us in Jesus Christ. And God gave every one of us gifts and talents, so that we could expand His Kingdom and serve Him with His talents. God promises to bless us abundantly as we work and serve in His Kingdom.

  • The Bible calls us to ALWAYS PRAY AND NOT LOSE HEART

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 4 minutes
    The whole world lies in wickedness and darkness, but, looking at the people that have made prayer their priority #1, you realize that – so to speak – they are from another planet; they do not live in darkness because they seem shining. They have problems and their life is not any different, but they approach their problems in a different way and they look forward into the future in a different way. Prayer so alters their lives and strengthens their relationships with God that they do not notice things that others do.
