Habit is a compilation of knowledge, skills and willingness II

ByPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 3 minutes
My greetings to you my dear friends! May the grace and peace of our Lord, Jesus Christ be with you!Yesterday we defined a habit as a compilation of knowledge, skills and willingness.We also determined that in order to grow up by making your life in prayer effective, you have to broaden your knowledge base about prayer. You have to know what prayer is and and why you have to pray. You need this knowledge, since it will stimulate you to pray.The Bible says, that faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. What shall I do when I feel my prayer doesn´t work well. Shall I read a book about upsurge and healing, or listen to a sermon about liberation from curse, maybe I should blame devil and demons for all failures of my praying life. It´s them who set obstacles for me. Quite often people blame devil for all failures in their life. When I listen to the sermons constantly focusing on satan and demons I ask myself, whom are we preaching and whom are we glorifying? Read gospels to see what Jesus said to the demon. He said: “leave him” then continued his way. It´s not a satan fault that you don´t practise praying.If you want to grow up in your life in prayer, you have to broaden your knowledge base about prayer, listen to the sermons about prayer and its benefits. Listen to the testimonies of those who practise praying and move away the conditions and problems they are surrounded by and grow up in God. People of prayer face many difficulties in their lives, but none of those was able to stop them. Why? They know how to pray, they know how to have fellowship with God, they never accept a negative answer. Such people are “hanging” on God. Read about it, broaden your knowledge base. The Bible should be the book we study the most among all other literature. Which one of you thinks he needs a breakthrough in his life in prayer. Trying to develop habits do one habit at a time, not many. Think about what is the most essential habit for you now. If, for example, you need to develop a habit of praying, do it. Practise it on regular basis for 20 days first, then for 3 or 6 months. Make sure you have en-grafted this habit into your daily life. Only then handle the next useful habit.We have to develop effective life in prayer – God is saying to us nowadays. God´s word is the word that brings up winners. It builds up a church the gates of hell shall not prevail against. That´s why our attitude to what God wants to brings to us through this message is so important.
“…but to this man will I look, even to him who is poor and of a contrite spirit, and who trembles at my word.” (Isaiah 66:2).
By virtue of prayer we keep our spirit contrite and broken before God, and feel trepidation about word of God.May the Lord bless you abundantly!See you tomorrow! Rufus Adjiboye, pastor

    «There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death» (Proverbs, 16:25). A wise man learns from the mistakes of others. I believe that this message will help us stop and not take the wrong path, since it won’t give us any fulfilment.Yesterday we discussed the fact that Solomon tried to find happiness and satisfaction in pleasures of life. He realized that all these things are vanity and „grasping for the wind”. We saw the things Solomon sought as the source of enjoyment. First, he tried different delicacies. They brought satisfaction to Solomon’s body, but he soul remained empty and hungry.

  • What is calling? How to reveal personal calling and how to enter it?

    Recognising of your calling and your task in this life is a process that consists of many small details. Quite often, people try to reveal their calling, while neglecting those small details that make the whole process. Nowadays, many people are unhappy because they either lack revelation for their life or oppose to such revelation, or simply lack understanding of how to fulfil the revelation. Let´s figure it all out.First thing to know is the fact that you were born to carry out a certain task. Bible says our life on this Earth has a goal and value determined. You are not a result of an accident! You were born on this Earth not just for the matter of occupying some space and breathing. You´ve got a mission to fulfil, a way to measure. You are created to take care for others and saved to minister. There many places in the Bible talking about this. We are going to elaborate the verse from Paul´s letter to Ephesians 2:10

    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.

    «For we know in part, and we prophesy in part; but when that which is complete has come, then that which is partial will be done away with. When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I felt as a child, I thought as a child. Now that I have become a man, I have put away childish things. For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I will know fully, even as I was also fully known». (1st Corinthians 13:9-12).

  • God comes to us seeking for fruits of saved souls in our life

    Let me ask you a question: “Did you just suddenly repented by yourself or somebody helped you with that by sharing the gospel with you? I believed somebody pray for you and shared Gospel with you!I am sure your coming to God was the result of someone’s efforts. Every sinner who ever repented is a fruit that result from someone’s labour. You probably may not even know the person who actually prayed for you and for the salvation of your soul.
