How to find and fulfil God’s will?

ByPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 5 minutes
Greetings to you, dear friends! Grace and peace to you from our Father God and our Lord Jesus Christ! Today I would like to start talking about how to find and fulfil God’s will. What do we really mean when we ask ourselves: «What is God’s will for me?» The majority of people want to know: «What is God’s plan for me in this situation? What would be the right decision in this situation?» We want to receive some directions and instructions from God in various life situations. We want to know God’s voice, since knowing His voice leads to knowing His will. God also wants every one of us to know His will in all things. 
It is extremely important for every one of us to hear from God ! It says in the Bible : “But He answered and said, „It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.’” (Mathew, 4:4).
 So this verse of the Scripture tells us that we need to live in compliance with the words that proceed out of the mouth of God. The word “proceed” that is used in this verse points to the continual activity; it means Jesus was referring to something that had either happened in the past or is happening at the moment or something that will happen in the future. God has always been speaking for all the time in order to reveal His will to us. That is why it is so important to know His voice! The original Greek word which has been translated as „words” in this verse is RHEMA or RHEMATOS; it implies any words that God is continuing to speak out. It does not mean that God suggests we add something to the Bible, but that He keeps talking to us both through the Bible and His Spirit. God’s Word continues to be real and alive to us. Jesus said: 
 «The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life» (John, 6:63) .
 It means the Bible continually ‘talks’ to us, being filled with the breath of God Himself. The Bible is a living book that brings life and is filled with power. God still talks to us through this book! The Holy Spirit fills every word in the Bible with life, and that is why the Bible continues to speak to us until today. The Bible is to us like the voice of God over the waters: 
 «The voice of the LORD is over the waters; the God of glory thunders; the LORD is over many waters» (Psalm, 29:3).
 Water symbolizes the word of God in the Bible: 
 «…that He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word» (Ephesians, 5:26).
 Thus, God Himself and God’s voice stand behind every word of the Bible. If we listen carefully, then the written words become alive and resonate in our hearts making us invincible in different life situations and circumstances. God still speaks! The Bible uses two Greek words that are translated as ‘word’ in the Bible: LOGOS and RHEMA. Logos means ‘an expression of thought’; it embodies a concept or an idea; it is not just a name or a title. For example, the Bible calls Jesus ‘the Word’, because Jesus embodies God and is the expression of His will and thoughts. Look at the following Bible verses: 
«And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth » (John, 1:14).
 
«God, who at various times and in various ways spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets, has in these last days spoken to us by His Son, whom He has appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the worlds; who being the brightness of His glory and the express image of His person, and upholding all things by the word of His power, when He had by Himself purged our sins, sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high »(Hebrews, 1:1-3).
 But Rhema is that which is said by a living voice; it is a pronounced word or sound, spoken by a voice and having a particular meaning. Rhema is the sounding out aloud of a inner thought about a particular person or situation, about a particular thing or case. Rhema is a personal, living word from God that brings life. In other words, rhema is God’s personal message to a person, a nation or a group of people. God talks to us personally! Let’s continue tomorrow! God bless you! Pastor Rufus Ajiboye

    Accountability is a sincere confession or opening of one’s secrets of his Christian walk to the others in the atmosphere of mutual trust. We are ready to give account of what we do with our lives, what we understand or do not understand, in what areas are weak or in need of assistance. When we are accountable we are willing to admit whether we are growing or not. We are able to give account of what we are learning in order to receive support, encouragement or correction.

  • We must be grateful to God in all things!

    When things go fine and when God answers our prayers, it is easy to thank God, – at those times we thank God and adore Him. But as soon as God decides to answer us in a way that does not fit our plans, we start thinking whether there is any sense in prayer. The Bible calls us to thank God in everything. The Bible calls us to praise God aloud so that other people would hear it. Be grateful to God, praise him, and sing to Him – aloud! Thanksgiving is the very model of prayer that Jesus gave to His disciples.

  • Prayer is our spiritual breathing

    Ask God for grace to arrange your life for effective praying. Be honest with yourself today. Is your prayer life effective, or it has turned into fruitless routine? Maybe your really do not have any prayer relationships with God? You alone can answer these questions. We often talk of prayer; we hear of prayer. It makes us think that we know what prayer is. But do we practise praying? We know that prayer is necessary for our spiritual life, just like air is necessary for our physical life. We must be enough diligent and disciplined to pray.

    «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.

    For several days now we have been talking about the role of God’s Word in our lives. We talked about the Word of God being our life and about the fact that our right attitude towards it can prolong our days. Also we learned that our attitude towards God’s Words determines how strong the foundation of our lives will be and how able we are to withstand the troubles of this life. Today I would like to look at another facet that demonstrates the significance of God’s Word for us.
