God’s Word being the best means of cleansing for a human heart

ByPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 4 minutes
Grace and peace to you from our Lord Jesus Christ! Welcome to „Daily Word for Spiritual Edification”! We have been talking for some time about God’s Word being the best means of cleansing for a human heart. God cleanses me through His Word, so I have to be absorbed in it daily. It might seem to you that you are not getting anything out of it, but it is not so. When we read the Word, we receive deep cleansing, just like people get clean when they bathe. It must be done as often as possible so we would stink spiritually. If you start to notice that you are getting quick-tempered, it means you need to wash it off. If you notice your heart closing up, it means you are not reading the Word and missing the cleansing. If you notice things that do not comply with Christian standards, for example, picking a quarrel, it is a sign of not being in the Word enough. When we read the Word, it shows us the right path, corrects us and brings us to repentance. Negative confessions are a sign of not being in the Word. When you abide in the Word, you are filled with faith and speak the words of faith. You used to say: «I can do everything! I have problems, but I will overcome them! Everything is great!» Now you are saying: «Well, I don’t know. We will see. It is what it is». Words like this show that you have been defiled, and it is not pleasant aroma before the Lord. It is not the spirit of faith. So we need to be saturated by the Word. God’s Word is profitable. When I understand that God’s Word is the means of cleansing, then I get inner stimuli to read it. I need to read it, if I want to walk in purity, not utter negative confessions and be ‘in shape’ spiritually. All of this has to awaken in us the desire to read the Word and be creative in it. Many people do not read the Bible because of different misconceptions. For so many it has become like spiritual illness or spiritual attack that they are not aware of. It says in the Bible that God’s Word is Spirit-inspired and profitable. And if it is profitable, then we must not only read it, but also benefit from it every time we read it. We will surely learn it and then help others in it. 
«All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness»(2 Timothy, 3:16).
 Let’s pray: «Dear Father! I thank you for this word! Thank you, Lord, for teaching us to appreciate the things that You appreciate. Lord, You have give us Your Word and it is Your message for us, which brings us light and freedom, drives away all darkness and points us in the right direction. God, You desire for us to read, study Your Word and mediate on it, to divide the Word rightly and walk blamelessly before You. We ask You in Jesus’ Name to stir in us the desire to abide in Your Word. We need the inner stimuli. Lord, I pray for the Holy Spirit to use what we have read today and motivate the readers to get into the Word, to get strong and established in the truth, in Jesus’ Name. Hallelujah! If there are any spiritual reasons that get in the way of daily reading and meditating, then – in Jesus’ Name – I command the devil to stop his attacks in the lives of God’s children. We thank You, Jesus! In Jesus’ Name, amen!»   May God abundantly bless every one of you! Pastor Rufus Ajiboye

  • How to enter your ministry?

    Yesterday we started discussing how we can enter our ministry. We established that, first; we need a strong desire to serve. This desire is tied to our understanding of God’s will and the purpose of our salvation. As we talked about, ministry helps us to reveal our potential. Ministry helps us to find out about ourselves, our calling in the establishment of God’s Kingdom on earth and doing the works that are pleasing to God. God has predestined for us to do particular good works. God desires for us to be fruitful and glorify Him on earth. Through our ministry God wants to fill this earth with the knowledge of Him and His Kingdom. He wants us to establish His principles in every sphere of life and win people for Him by the ministry we do on earth.

  • Confess your sins and repent of them as soon as the Holy Spirit convicts you

    «For there is nothing hidden which will not be revealed, nor has anything been kept secret but that it should come to light» (Mark, 4:22).Here we see a very important truth spoken by Jesus. According to this Scripture everything hidden will be revealed. If we accept this truth then we will want to live righteously before God and men. Our every wrongdoing and ungodly deed sooner or later will be brought out in the light, and all our secret works sooner or later will come into the open; all our unconfessed, unrecognized and secret sins sooner or later will become obvious for everybody.

  • Grateful people – they are people able for self-sacrifice! II

    If we learn to appreciate and cherish everything that God does in our lives, then it will be natural for us to sacrifice or build and altar for God.Know that when speaking about sacrifice, God will never ever ask you for something that you do not have! His love does not require that, God’s love is not abusive. If you truly love someone, you will never ask from them what they do not have.Forget about what you do not have, think about what you do have. Be sure that you own a lot!

  • The Word of God – the source of divine information and truth

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 4 minutes
    The lack of vision, knowledge or useful information can become the source of destruction and tragedy. There is a saying that not knowing the law does not relief from the responsibility; not knowing God’s laws or moral blindness multiplies human sufferings on earth.Every person must gain knowledge and understanding of God’s provision; we must know what God has done for us in Christ so that we can lessen human suffering. The lack of such knowledge can cause great pain. It is like a person starving because he does not know about state aid. The lack of knowledge of one’s rights and privileges can cause unnecessary problems.
