If you will not initiate changes, they will never happen in your life

Lai miers un žēlastība Jums no mūsu Kunga Jēzus Kristus!
Es esmu priecīgs sveicināt katru no jums. Dieva Vārds ir gaisma. Dieva Vārds mūs pamāca, izlabo un pārliecina.

Šodien Dievs vēlas mūs pārliecināt par to, ka pārmaiņas dzīvē nenotiek vienkārši tāpat, tās ir jāiniciē. Pārmaiņas cilvēka dzīvē sākās tikai tāpēc, ka kāds tās ir ierosinājis.

«Iesākumā Dievs radīja debesis un zemi. Bet zeme bija neiztaisīta un tukša, un tumsa bija pār dziļumiem, un Dieva Gars lidinājās pār ūdeņiem. Un Dievs sacīja: «Lai top gaisma.» Un gaisma tapa». (1. Mozus 1:1—3).

No šī fragmenta mēs redzam, kā Dievs iniciēja pārmaiņas pasaules radīšanas sākumā. Viss bija tukšs, neredzams un tumšs, bet tā vietā, lai sūdzētos par situāciju vai sēdētu Savas rokas klēpī salicis un gaidītu, ka situācija pati par sevi mainīsies, Dievs sāka rīkoties un tumsa tika izkliedēta. Dievs iniciēja pārmaiņas, tumsā ielaižot gaismu. Viņš teica: «Lai top gaisma!» — un gaisma tapa.

Viss turpina palikt miera stāvoklī līdz tam brīdim, kamēr netiek pielikts spēks. Tieši tāds spēks noved pārmaiņas darbībā.

Bībele stāsta par četriem izsalkušiem, spitālīgiem vīriem, kuri izlēma pielietot ticības spēku savos apstākļos. Rezultātā, viņu rīcība izmainīja ne tikai viņu stāvokli, bet arī visas pilsētas stāvokli. (2. Ķēniņu 7:3—16).

Dievs šodien aicina tevi pielietot garīgo ticības spēku, lūgšanas un pakļaušanos patiesībai tāpēc, lai sāktu notikt nepieciešamās pārmaiņas tavā dzīvē un tev apkārt.

Atceries, ja tu neierosināsi pārmaiņas, tad viņas tavā dzīvē nekad nesāksies.

Lai no šodienas notiek daudz tīkamu pārmaiņu tavā dzīvē un tavā apkārtnē, Jēzus Kristus Vārdā! Līdz nākamai tikšanās reizei!

    Taking responsibility for decisions we make in life, no matter what the circumstances are that lead us to these decisions, is one of the most important lessons that we can learn in this life.Human research shows that men and women for different reasons try to escape responsibility for what they are, and they blame other people for their failures.

  • Your gift will make room for you! IV

    In the Gospel of Mathew Jesus told a parable about Master giving his servants different talents. «For the kingdom of heaven is like a man travelling to a far country, who called his own servants and delivered goods to them. And to one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one, to each according to his own ability; and immediately he went on a journey» (Mathew, 25: 14-15).Jesus shows us here that the criterion of His assessment is not quantity, but faithfulness. God know that every one of us has different abilities, so the quantitative result will be different for different people. Numbers are not important to Jesus; He cares about how faithful you have been with what God has given you. He cares about your attitude towards His work.

    «For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren» (Romans, 8:29).It is God’s desire for us to be conformed into the image of God’s only Son – Jesus Christ. Gratitude is one of the qualities that help us to do that. Later we will see how gratitude was demonstrated in the life of Jesus and how many events in His life were directly connected to thanksgiving.

  • Purpose for living V

    After Solomon forsook God for a season, he tried to find happiness and satisfaction in different things and activities. We see that Solomon made several attempts which all lead to disappointment. For a wise person Solomon’s experience can become good lesson in what the wrong ways to happiness are. We mentioned that Solomon sought happiness in education and knowledge, in fun and pleasures, in beauty, in works of men’s hands. Afterwards he came to a conclusion that despite the fact that all these things are important and necessary for living, none of them can make us happy, if God is excluded from our life. Solomon said that everything under the sun is vanity and grasping for the wind. Solomon’s conclusion was that everything that happens under the sun is vanity and grasping for the wind – if apart from God.

  • What are the grounds or foundations of favour? II

    Through faith in Jesus Christ we become clothed in his righteousness and nature. In the our spirit we have the perfect character of the Almighty God even though we do not become perfect in our actions immediately after becoming followers of Jesus. We reflect God’s life, character and thoughts more and more in our lives to that extent to which we submit ourselves to the new nature in our spirit. Our daily submission to God’s nature and character in us is what I call practical righteousness that qualifies us for God’s favour.

  • The wisdom of repentance

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 3 minutes
    We do not confess our sins to the Lord it affects our blessings. In the Scripture above it says that „for day and night Your hand was heavy upon me…” Heaviness of the Lord’s hand – it is not a sign of blessing; it is a sign of curse. An unrepentant life takes away an opportunity to move forward in any area of our lives. When we refuse to repent we lose vitality and power and drought comes instead. Vitality is a sign of a blessing, prosperity, but drought is a sign of curse. According to the Bible, in order for us to flourish and prosper and to gain riches we must have vitality or power (Deuteronomy, 8:18). The lack of repentance in a person’s life deprives him of this power.
