How can we face any opposition and problem with our faces shining at the same time?

ByPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 2 minutes
Peace to you, dear friends!I thank the Lord for the regular opportunity to share with you the word of wisdom from the Lord. The Bible says that wisdom makes a person’s face to shine. Therefore today, I would like to talk about how we can overcome shame and dishonour in our lives.
„Those who look to him are radiant; their faces are never covered with shame.” (Psalms 34:5)
The wisdom that makes a person’s face shine is hidden in this Scripture. How can we overcome dishonour and shame in our lives? How can we face any opposition and problem with our faces shining at the same time?The Scripture mentioned above teaches that it is necessary for us to look unto God by entering into His presence and learn to draw strength and wisdom from Him. Let us look at the life of Moses. Moses’ face was shined when he descended from the mountain where he spent time conversing with God. This is what Psalms 34:5 is talking about. Those who looked unto God and met with Him were definitely enlightened. Such people will never be disgraced.
„ 28 Moses was there with the LORD forty days and forty nights without eating bread or drinking water. And he wrote on the tablets the words of the covenant-the Ten Commandments. 29 When Moses came down from Mount Sinai with the two tablets of the Testimony in his hands, he was not aware that his face was radiant because he had spoken with the LORD.” (Exodus 34:28-29)
After Moses descended from the prayer mountain, he even did not know his face was shining. It is not compulsory that we know or see how this happens to us as well. All we need to know is that God says that those who look to Him will definitely radiate light,- the light of God’s glory and majesty. This is what will separate a person from every shame and dishonour. Dear friends, this is the word of God for you today: look unto Him, learn to spend time with God, learn to be in God’s presence, and then you will see that your face will start shining. Enemies will not be able to overcome and gain victory over people who spend time with God. May God bless you!Until tomorrow! Pastor Rufus Ajiboye

  • So a disciplined person is able to subject or control himself

    A disciplined person is always in submission to certain set of rules and order. If you do not have any rules or regulations, if you avoid the word ‘order’, in your life, then you are undisciplined, and you won’t be able to experience any spiritual progress or growth.Spiritual growth which is related to positive changes in a person’s life is not a heritage meant for undisciplined people. If a person lacks discipline, he will always break and ignore rules and regulations. It does not matter how many sets of rules and regulations he impose on himself for noble purposes, an undisciplined man will break them all as soon as he made them.

Your eternal reward will depend on what you have been doing with your talents. You can either bury your talents or multiply them. You can return to God your talent that He gave you, and say to Him that you did not succeed. You can simply complain about your life and not even try changing or accomplish something in your life.or you can invest your talent and expand His kingdom with it, everything depend on you.«After a long time the lord of those servants came and settled accounts with them» (Mathew, 25:19).

    «All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations…» (Mathew, 28:18-19).Jesus told us to walk through this life, being armed with the understanding that all God’s authority is behind us. The will of God for us contains prosperity, health, salvation (both for us personally and for our families), peace and harmony; the will of God is for all people to come to salvation and knowledge of truth. But too often we see discrepancies in many areas of our life. Those areas where the will of God is not fulfilled are actually ruled by the devil; somehow we have given him a place and control over these areas.

  • We have to strengthen our spirit

    The Bible states «A man’s spirit will sustain him in sickness, but a crushed spirit, who can bear?» (Proverbs 18:14). 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 were saved in this hope, but hope that is seen is not hope; for why does one still hope for what he sees? But if we hope for what we do not see, we eagerly wait for it with perseverance.”These verses remind us that we have been saved in the hope. When you go through pain, you cannot lose hope.
