God not only knows about all of your problems and circumstances, He also has a solution for them II

Welcome, dear readers, to „Daily Word for Spiritual Edification”! I thank God for every one of you and pray that you wouldn’t lose your thirst for God’s Word and His wisdom and for God’s fellowship because God is the source of our life.Yesterday we talked about four main sources of human problems. And we established that when the problems appear we must first determine their source.
  • The storm in Job’s life was cause by his disobedience (Job, 1).
  • The storm in Paul’s life began because of the disobedience of others (Acts, 27).
  • The disciples of Jesus got into a storm, even though they were obedient to the Lord (Mark, 6: 45-52).
Storms and turbulences in our lives can be cause by:
  • the trials sent by God;
  • the temptations sent by the devil;
  • other people’s sins and persecution;
  • your own wrong choice or decision.
The solution for your problem requires particular approach and depends on its source and cause.
  • If the problem is caused by your wrong actions, then you need to repent.
  • If the problem is the temptation of the devil, you need to resist him firm in faith.
  • If the problem is the result of the wrongdoings of others that are directed against you, you need to forgive these people and move forward, putting your life into the hands of God Who is the Righteous Judge.
  • If the trials came from God, then you simply need to stay calm before God and trust Him to change your character, teach you something new and change you into the likeness of Jesus Christ.
Whatever the source of your problem, you must know that there are no problems in your life that God would be ignorant of. Our heavenly Father knows everything that is going on in the lives of His children. God filters all events and uses them for our good, even if Satan and other people do things to cause you pain. The size of the problem and its source do not matter to God. He will use every problem for your good and your growth if you trust Him.Since God is sovereign and controls everything, every difficult situation should be viewed as one of life stages which move us closer to the realization of God’s perfect plan for your life. Every day of our lives are written in God’s calendar before we are born. 
«Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed. And in Your book they all were written, the days fashioned for me, when as yet there were none of them» (Psalm, 139:16).
 
«Be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.»
 May these words of Jesus give you daily encouragement in all your trials and problems! 
 «These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world» (John, 16: 33).
 Trust God, be filled with His Word, walk in holiness, serve God with your gifts and talents and you will witness God changing all your problems, tragedies and sufferings into triumph!May God bless every on of you!Pastor Rufus Ajiboye

    What do we really mean when we ask ourselves: «What is God’s will for me?» The majority of people want to know: «What is God’s plan for me in this situation? What would be the right decision in this situation?»We want to receive some directions and instructions from God in various life situations. We want to know God’s voice, since knowing His voice leads to knowing His will. God also wants every one of us to know His will in all things.

  • But he who endures to the end shall be saved!

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 4 minutes
    The question arises why so many people start their walk with God but turn aside in one of the crossroads of life; they turn back to where they came from. It reminds me the story of Jewish people. For a long time this nation was in slavery in Egypt. They were burdened by hard work with no payment. The nation of Israel cried out to God, and God delivered them and brought them out of Egypt. They had to walk to the Promised Land. Every day they were getting closer to it. There were difficulties on their way; they had to flee some wrong things, avoid making wrong decisions, wrong relationships; they had to overcome grumbling and complaining. Israelites had to obtain more and more knowledge of God while heading towards their Promised Land.

  • We must be grateful to God in all things!

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 4 minutes
    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.

  • We have to strengthen our spirit

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 4 minutes
    The Bible states «A man’s spirit will sustain him in sickness, but a crushed spirit, who can bear?» (Proverbs 18:14). Satan wants to hit our spirit via hardships, trials and problems. When your spirit is strengthened, you can overcome any kind of weakness, get through all kind of hardships and trials. So how can we strengthen our spirit? God´s word and His promises strengthen our spirit and overcome weakness and sufferings. In order to not give up, we need to learn how to lean on the word of God and His promises – fully and unconditionally. We have to learn God´s faithfulness and realise that God will never forsake us unless we abandon Him ourselves.

    “There is a way that seems right to a man, but in the end it leads to death.” (Proverbs 16:25)Our task is to train our spirit to hear what God is telling us. And even if your intellect is fighting and heart does not agree with what God says to you, anyway, say to God, “I do not know how it happens, I just believe in You!”
