God wants His children to be a part of the solution for His needs!

Peace on you, precious children of God! I am blessing you at this wonderful day and pray that you do well and prosper as much as your soul does. Today I would like to start a new conversation about bear necessities of God. When you love somebody and you know he has a problem but you have a solution for him what will be your action then? Would you sit and do nothing about it? You surely won´t. It´s one of the biggest issues people have that they only focus on their own problems, forgetting about God´s needs. God wants His children to be a part of the solution for His needs.Some of you may wonder: “Does God have any problems or needs, He is the Almighty One, isn´t He?” The point is that God has decided to limit Himself by people. In the material world, in some situations and in some spheres of life God has decided not to do certain things without people participation. In other words, it doesn´t matter how hard we pray or fast about certain problems, those will not be solved unless the right person appears at the right place. This also explains the fact that God needs people in order to save other people´s souls on Earth. Even Jesus became a human and only after it happened He began to solve people´s problems. There is a testimony about God´s need, He needs people, not just ready to be righteous but also ready to be at the right place at the right time. God is Spirit, He has no body, but our bodies. It becomes a problem to many who are not willing to give their bodies at God´s disposal. The Bible tells us a story about the people of Israel. Long before they became slaves in Egypt, the God Himself prophesied to their father, Abraham that his descendants would enter a foreign land, that God would lead them out of Egypt. God told this to Abraham long before the actual events took place. When the time to escape Egypt had come, God could not do anything about the matter unless the right person, Moses was found. The Scripture says that Moses was arguing with God, that made the latter angry. God wad preparing Moses to make exactly him the man through whom God later would lead Israelites from slavery. Whose help do you seek when you run into problem? You seek God´s help of course! Do you ever expect God would refuse you help because He is too busy with something else? Surely you don´t! It works the same way with God, when He has a problem, He turns to us waiting for a solution. Though, we, in turn, find a thousand excuses why we can´t take part in solving His problems. We must realise that we not only believe in God, rely on Him and trust Him, but also God trusts us and relies on us. It´s important to know that also God believes in us. 
«Because I have called, and you have refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no one has paid attention; But you have ignored all my counsel, And wanted none of my reproof; 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 1:24,25,28,29).
God wants you to become His co-worker, overwhelmed with what God is taking care for, to be thirsty for things God is thirsty for. Do you find it impossible? It is possible, just because He created us according to His likeness. Let not disappoint the Lord! Let not be looking for excuses at the moments He turns to us for help. God will not leave it unrewarded – He is blessing everybody who serves Him and responds to His call. Lord bless you!Rufus Adjiboye, pastor

  • Love is a weapon of victory of the last time III

    The principle of love protects our hearts, emotions and our life from injuries and bruises. Hatred, evil, betrayal, cruelty and lack of understanding among people will multiply at the last days. Jesus never sinned, while people back-bit Him anyway. But, how Jesus reacted to that back-biting? He never replied with back-biting, never tried to overcome evil with evil. He knew it would not work this way, quite opposite it would have increased the amount of evil, pain, emotional injuries and hatred in the life of a person who tries to overcome evil with evil.
  • The forms of accountability in the life of a Christian

    (1) Teacher – apprentice.We see examples of this type of relationship in Moses and Joshua, Elijah and Elisha, Paul and Timothy. This form of accountability implies having a disciple or apprentice that you invest yourself into helping him to grow in God. This type of relationship means that a teacher is responsible for his disciple and the disciple submits to his teacher. It helps both teachers and disciples to grow in Jesus Christ and walk in submission to the Lord.
  • Lay hold on eternal life! III

    Laying hold of eternal life means that a person strives to stay on the narrow road which leads to eternal life. Jesus knew that it would be so convenient for many to walk the broad road; being on this road, a person feels comfortable and lives without any restrictions; he does what he wants to do and is not limited by any commitments. But the Bible says that it is the way of sin, because a person is not accountable and moves ‘without brakes’, so to speak; this way leads to destruction. God says that we shouldn’t walk on this way. We must flee sin; we must cast aside all the worldly, ungodly things that hinder us, otherwise we won’t get to our destination – eternal life. Jesus says that many people will deny faith.
  • Does the Lord answer all prayers?

    «If you remain in me, and my words remain in you, you will ask whatever you desire, and it will be done for you.» (John 15:7).There is a God´s promise in this scripture: «whatever you desire, and it will be done for you.» Which one of you had prayed for something but it was not given to you? I guess many of you had, so where is the problem? We often read in the Bible that people prayed and received the answer to their prayers. God Himself told us to pray, and He promised to answer our prayers.
  • Purpose for living VII

    Today I would like to complete our discussion about searching for a goal of our life, and how we can find true happiness under the sun. We observed Solomon who measured long and burdensome way looking for his happiness and satisfaction.Thanks God for having it written for us, so that we can avoid the mistakes Solomon mentions in the book of Proverbs. Solomon has understood that life without God is an absolute illusion, but happiness without God is a mirage. This is what he writes as a conclusion to his book:«This is the end of the matter. All has been heard. Fear God, and keep his commandments; for this is the whole duty of man. For God will bring every work into judgement, with every hidden thing, whether it is good, or whether it is evil.» (Ecclesiastes 12:13-14).
