God trusts us and relies on us
Greetings to you, dear readers of our column «Daily word for spiritual strength»! I believe the Lord inspires you through His word. Share your testimonies generously, let us know how this word strengthens and inspires you. We will be glad to know more about your experience.
Yesterday we discoursed that in one hand we believe in God, trust and rely on Him, while in the other hand God trusts us and relies on us. God needs us the moment when He lacks some of His bear necessities.« Because I have called, and you have refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no one has paid attention; … Then will they call on me, but I will not answer. They will seek me diligently, but they will not find me; Because they hated knowledge, And didn’t choose the fear of Yahweh. » (Proverbs 1:24, 28, 29).In these verses God tells us about the necessity to change our attitude towards His call, otherwise He would not listen to our calling the time we run to Him with our petitions. Forget about your own problems and take part in finding solutions for the needs and problems God has today, He will become a part of a solution for your problems then.«When they drew near to Jerusalem, and came to Bethsphage, to the Mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples, saying to them, “Go into the village that is opposite you, and immediately you will find a donkey tied, and a colt with her. Untie them, and bring them to me. If anyone says anything to you, you shall say, ‘The Lord needs them,’ and immediately he will send them.” All this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophet, saying, “Tell the daughter of Zion, Behold, your King comes to you, Humble, and riding on a donkey, On a colt, the foal of a donkey.” The disciples went, and did just as Jesus commanded them, and brought the donkey and the colt, and laid their clothes on them; and he sat on them. A very great multitude spread their clothes on the road. Others cut branches from the trees, and spread them on the road. The multitudes who went before him, and who followed kept shouting, “Hosanna to the son of David! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!” When he had come into Jerusalem, all the city was stirred up, saying, “Who is this?” The multitudes said, “This is the prophet, Jesus, from Nazareth of Galilee.” (Matthew 21:1-11)Here we can read about God´s need to lead Jesus to Jerusalem as it was prophesied before. The prophets had foreseen how it would happen a long time ago. What is prophesy! Prophesy is how God sees the future. Prophesy represents God´s plans for future – your future, future of your town, future of your country, etc. Though, no prophesy will be fulfilled until the certain circumstances have been provided. That´s why Jesus could not reach Jerusalem unless the donkey He was going to ride had been unleashed. Only after it had happened Jesus entered Jerusalem riding on the back of the donkey.
If God says a powerful movement would take place in Latvia that would impact on the whole Europe – it´s true! Human resources are the only thing He is looking for. Those resources are bound and that´s the issue why God can´t fulfil what He is willing to fulfil. Therefore, God desires to unleash the resources bound, so that the prophesy can be fulfilled.
It´s me and you who play the role of God´s tools and resources to fulfil His prophesies. We have to be set completely free for His work. Let´s go into weeds tomorrow!
God peace be with you! Rufus Adjiboye, pastor
