I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me!

ByPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 4 minutes
Welcome, precious children of God, to our column «Daily word for spiritual strength»! I pray, so that God´s mercy fills your life today.Yesterday we defined two kinds of wisdom, wisdom of a man and wisdom of God. God´s wisdom is much higher that the wisdom of a man. God´s wisdom is for our glory, so God is willing to share His wisdom when we are thirsty for it. God through His Holy Spirit is ready to reveal the mysteries of our life to us if we seek and search for Him. 
«…For who among men knows the things of a man, except the spirit of the man, which is in him? Even so, no one knows the things of God, except God’s Spirit. But we received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which is from God, that we might know the things that were freely given to us by God.» (1 Corinthians 2:11-12).
 According to the word of God we are already granted everything we need in order to succeed in this life. God has already given us all that we need to have life abundantly. There is no such need in our life God has not taken care for yet. We only have to get to know God and His precious promises, so that we can prevail the lust of this world and fulfil our call from God. 
«Seeing that his divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and virtue; by which he has granted to us his precious and exceedingly great promises; that through these you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in the world by lust.». (2 Peter 1:3-4).
 So God tells us today: 
«Call to me, and I will answer you, and will show you great things, and difficult, which you don’t know.» (Jeremiah 33:3).
 «…difficult, that you don´t know» – is something you will never achieve without the Creator. But, together with Him you can manage everything.Jesus said we can´t do anything without Father. 
”Remain in me, and I in you. As the branch can’t bear fruit by itself, unless it remains in the vine, so neither can you, unless you remain in me. I am the vine. You are the branches. He who remains in me, and I in him, the same bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing.” (John 15:4-5).
 God created you for the purpose, as He already mentioned it in His word. 
«The people which I formed for myself, that they might set forth my praise.» (Isaiah 43:21).
 The seeds of truth will grow up in your heart as you read the Scripture and enjoy fellowship with God. By virtue of the Holy Spirit working inside you´ll understand the revelation about the purpose and meaning of your life as well as the way of how to fulfil that revelation.Discard any thoughts about what you could achieve in your life without God. It will never be fulfilled because you are created for Him. You are created to enjoy fellowship with God and represent Him to this world.When sin entered this world separating us from God, it destroyed the communication between us and the Almighty One, later God recreated us in Christ. Thus, God re-established the link between Himself and the human kind when Christ as a living sacrifice died on the cross.Therefore, your destiny, your purpose in this life, your happiness and meaning of life are only found in God, only in Christ Jesus. Jesus Christ alone is the way, the truth and the life. Any independence of human from God is a step into ravine. Though, if we stay in God, in His word and in the fellowship with Him, He dwells in us and with us, then we can safely affirm: «I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me!»Lord bless you abundantly!Rufus Adjiboje, pastor

  • Ignorance is a matter of personal choice

    If a person does not fulfil this duty, he won’t have enough light to see evil and hide from it. Besides, this verse tells us that such a person (he or she is called „simple”) goes ahead and is punished – not by God, but by his own ignorance. Ignorance separates a person from the life of God, because he knows nothing about God’s provision. «..having their understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God, because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart» (Ephesians, 4:18).Because of ignorance human mind is darkened, heart is hardened and he himself is alienated from the life of God.

  • Your gift will make room for you! II

    «A man’s gift makes room for him, and brings him before great men» (Proverbs, 18: 16).Studying the church history, we see that all of God’s generals didn’t start big. These people used what they had and did whatever they could. They began using the abilities they had. Eventually, their gifts found their place in the Body of Christ and grew into large ministries.For example, Dr. T.L. Osborn saw that people needed salvation, so he started meeting this need to the best of his ability: he started printing little tracts on his printing machine and went door to door leaving them in their post boxes. At the time he couldn’t even imagine that it will lead him to huge international evangelistic ministry that he has today.

  • The lordship of Jesus Christ

    The phrase „Jesus is Lord!” is quite often used by the children of God. But being the children of God, we cannot treat this concept in a superficial or religious manner. The lordship of Jesus has a deep spiritual meaning. We should not casually proclaim or declare His lordship without the correct understanding of what it really implies. God wants us today to discover for ourselves what the true essence of the lordship of Jesus is and to act accordingly.

  • What we do with our potential?

    A talent is almost the same as potential. The parable of talents could just as well be called the parable of potential. Potential is something unfinished that can be developed and completed. In the beginning potential can be invisible, but it nevertheless exists. In order to transform potential into reality, it must be developed. Based on the potential given to you, you can change your present condition. There is a beginning of change in you and everything you need to change your life. You have to develop your potential and bring it to completion.

    Jesus said that He received the Word and message from the Father. How did He manage this? Thanks to His prayers! Jesus drew near to God in prayer and God approached Him. The result of fellowship between Jesus and the Father, was the fact that God gave Jesus the Word and message. God revealed to Jesus what needed to be done, as well as when and with what to do it. As a result, Jesus always did miracles.Here´s where the secret of success of Jesus was hidden! Here´s where Moses´ success lay!
