How does a truly responsible person look like? II

ByPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 3 minutes
 Greetings to you, dear friends! I am grateful to God for every one of you who visits our homepage in order to feed on the Word. The Word of God is the bread of life; it points the way; it helps and inspires and helps our faith to grow. God’s Word helps the responsible people, the ones that are doers of the Word.Yesterday we started to look at the portrait of a responsible person. We saw that a responsible person does not forget what he has been assigned to do; he records and accomplishes it. Besides, a responsible person keeps his word and promises; also a responsible person does not blame others for his problems, but looks for the reasons in his own life and eliminates them.Let’s continue to discuss this portrait. A responsible person is organized, disciplined and diligent even when nobody watches him or her. Such a person determines what he needs to do, when he needs to do it and makes the necessary effort to accomplish it. A responsible person submits to what he needs to do. Since he understands the importance of being responsible, he cannot be idle or inert. A responsible person effectively uses his time, his energy and his resources. 
  1. A responsible person is trustworthy and reliable.
If you entrust something to a responsible person, you have peace about it, because it will be done. A responsible person will not fail you even if he is not able to do something; – he will find someone to substitute him or her and will make sure that the assignment is completed. 
  1. A responsible person is faithful, loyal and honest
What do you do when nobody looks and watches you?I remember myself being a teenager; my father told me to sow corn. He showed me how to do it. I had to plant 2-3 corn seeds in a particular distance from one another. While my father was watching me, I did a good job; when he realized that I have grasped the idea he left to do other things. I wanted to finish the job quickly, so I poured out all the seed in one spot, decided that the job is done and went to play with my friends. I went to my father and told him that I didn’t have any more seed. My father thanked me and let me play. But the time came for the corn to grow up and it became obvious what kind of job I had done. Because of my irresponsibility my father was forced to plant corn all over, even though it was almost too late.The lack of responsibility will follow us, because what we sow will eventually grow up! It says in the Paul’s Epistle to Galatians (6:7),
 «Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will not also reap».
Test the seed you have been sowing in your life! Is it the seed of responsibility or irresponsibility? The quality of life depends on it. We will continue tomorrow!God bless you!Pastor Rufus Ajiboye

    As a base we will use a passage from Mark chapter 4, where Jesus Himself was speaking in parables. In this chapter there are three parables, through which Jesus explains the power and the potential hidden in a small seed. First I would like to simply recount these parables, but later we will look at each of them in more detail. The first parable that Jesus talked about is the parable of the sower. This parable shows that there is a whole list of obstacles that make it difficult for seeds to grow and bear fruit. In this parable, Jesus went ahead to show us three types of obstacles which can impede the growth of the seeds that we sow. (Mark 4:3-20)

  • Be a good example for your children, your younger brothers and sisters!

    Children watch and learn from us, and they will repeat what they have seen their parents do. For this reason we can say they being a parent is a calling and assignment from God; the task of a parent is to set correct patterns and show a right example for the children. When the woman from Canaan turned to Jesus in a time of distress she did not think that she is setting an example for her daughter of dealing with hard times. Our children need us not just ‘to talk the talk’, but to live in a correct way and demonstrate our convictions by our daily walk.

  • Apart from Him there is no true satisfaction and happiness! III

    We will continue about Solomon’s search for happiness, satisfaction and the meaning of life. We have already discussed that in the beginning of his life Solomon sought God and loved him, and God gave him wisdom and riches, happiness and fulfilment in life. But Solomon got caught up with superficial things of this world and started to follow other gods. Solomon started seeking for happiness and satisfaction in things and activities. He found only disappointment in them and then he turned back to his beginning.The story of Solomon is a lesson to all of us; it tells us that the meaning of life, happiness and satisfaction cannot be found anywhere but in God alone. So we need to develop and strengthen personal relationships with God.

    There is a race set before every one of us to run. Many people call it the will of God or God’s assignment for you. No matter what you call it, it is important to understand that we are not just here to live an aimless life. Your life has a purpose. One reason we are given time is to discover God’s purpose for your life and pursue that purpose making use of every opportunity and resources given to you by God.

  • Preparation of the way of the Lord II

    Yesterday we started talking about God’s desire to demonstrate His glory and fullness in our lives; for this to happen we have to prepare our hearts and to prepare the way of the Lord. We have to cleanse our hearts from the things that God hates and cannot look upon.The following verses from the Scripture reveal the principle of preparation the way of the Lord.«In those days John the Baptist came preaching in the wilderness of Judea, and saying, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand!” For this is he who was spoken of by the prophet Isaiah, saying: “The voice of one crying in the wilderness: ‘Prepare the way of the LORD; make His paths straight.’”» (Mathew, 3:1-3).
