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

    So we see that sin is one of the sources of tragedies in the world. Dear reader, you can ease the suffering in the world by joining to the army of people who overcome evil by the power of love.

Because of your correct decision God can bless your family, your city, your country and the whole world.If you haven’t accepted Jesus Christ as Your Lord and Saviour and you still lust for the wrong things, if you still resist God’s will and experience excessive appetite for sinful things and give in to impulses, – you need to know that by your life you multiply pain and suffering in this world.

  • There are three main types of believers: observers, consumers/users and servants!

    What type of a believer are you? What are you: an observer, a user or a servant? Today we will attempt to establish what distinguishes observers and consumers from servants.Observes do not care for what goes on around them; they demonstrate indifference. What happens in church does not concern him; he thinks that he only needs to attend Sunday services. He is there for the worship and the sermon and it is enough for him. Such a believer has no problems; he is doing fine at work and at home. He simply observes the events around him and he is happy.

  • God does all things for our good

    What does the word “all” include? Everything that is happening in your life right now! God wants to reach a certain goal; and in order to do that He uses even our circumstances. He allows particular difficult situations to happen to us in order to change and transform us and our character, to make us more like Jesus.

  • It is the content of your heart that determines where your life is heading! IV

    “Therefore lay aside all filthiness and overflow of wickedness, and receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls” (James, 1:21).This is a very profound verse of Scripture that must be considered and closely examined. But I would like to draw your attention to several points. Here the Bible talks about the implanted Word which saves our souls. It resembles the process of engrafting a branch of tree into another tree, after which these trees become one, since they have the same root system. The implanted Word must be one with me. God wants His Word to be planted in my heart so that the Word and I become one because it is only then will the word be able save my soul.

  • How does a truly responsible person look like?

    Responsible person is not forgetful.Responsible person does not need to be reminded the same things over and over again. It is enough to say it once for a responsible person to bear it in his mind.A responsible person records all important information, significant assignments or appointments. If nothing can be required of you because you keep forgetting things, it means you are irresponsible. There are people around us that say all the time, „Sorry, I forgot”. Such people usually are irresponsible and unreliable.

  • How to enter your ministry?

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 3 minutes
    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.
