Ignorance of spiritual laws – is one of many things that cause suffering in this world nowadays

ByPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 4 minutes
Good day dear friends, welcome to our column “Daily word for spiritual strength!” Let the mercy of God be with you today. God sent His revelation into my heart and I thank for the opportunity to share it with you.For a few days we´ve been talking about negative consequences caused by ignorance. We also mentioned our everyone´s personal responsibility for filling our mind with the word of God and other useful information. Zealous Jews rejected the gift of righteousness offered by Him in Jesus Christ for free, because they lacked knowledge, while having zeal for God. As we stated earlier, jealousy is a good thing but without knowledge it causes worries and deficiencies. 
«Brothers, my heart’s desire and my prayer to God is for Israel, that they may be saved. For I testify about them that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge. For being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, they didn’t subject themselves to the righteousness of God. For Christ is the fulfilment of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.» (Romans 10:1-4).
 Today may people are saying they love God and believe in Him, while staying ignorant to His righteousness and living according to their own righteousness. Therefore, they blame God for being unjust to them when facing problems and distress in their life.Ignorance of spiritual laws – is one of many things that cause suffering in this world nowadays.So we can see that:
  • Ignorance – is lack of knowledge, guidance and enlightenment.
  • Ignorance – is everyone´s personal choice.
  • Ignorance – is something that separates people from life and God´s care.
  • Ignorance – is followed by lust, that in turn is followed by sin, then death.
  • Ignorance – is the thing that leads to annihilation and tragedies.
As we mentioned earlier, in addition to your own sins also the sins of other people increase pain and sufferings on Earth. It hurts when you suffer due to your own sin, but it hurts even more when your sufferings are caused by someone else´s disobedience to the law. For example, many innocent people perish due to lack of responsibility of other people (e.g. drunk drivers, careless operator, etc.).When Jesus disciples met a man blind from birth they didn´t hesitate to ask Jesus who actually sinned, the blind man or his parents. 
«As he passed by, he saw a man blind from birth. His disciples asked him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?” Jesus answered, “Neither did this man sin, nor his parents; but, that the works of God might be revealed in him.» (John 9:1-3).
 Inborn blindness is not a blessing, it can´t come from the loving God who laid His life for us so that we can have life abundantly. Knowing this the disciples couldn´t get the point right. They finally concluded that man was blind either because of his own sins or his parents broke the law in some way.The disciples were certain that root of any kind of suffering comes from person´s sins or from the sins of other people, e.g. his parents. Nowadays, many children suffer from their parents´ sins. Many children have inherited diseases due to the way their parents live. People suffer not only due to their own sins but also because of the sins of other people.Though, Jesus used that opportunity to open the eyes of His disciples and explain that outside of sins there are another reasons why people suffer.We are going to talk about it tomorrow!Be abundantly blessed in the Lord!Rufus Adjiboje, pastor

  • You have already been given that what you need to start your supernatural ministry

    When you first begin, don’t expect something big. Start doing something small that you are able to do and do it with consistency and responsibility and do it with all of your heart. Develop the gifts and talents that you have noticed in yourself, using them for the good of the people and the Kingdom of God. As you do it God will allow you to enter larger ministry. You will be noticed not because you’re sitting around doing nothing, but because you are doing your best. That is how your gift makes room for you.“A man’s gift makes room for him, and brings him before great man” (Proverbs, 18: 16).

  • Habit is a compilation of knowledge, skills and willingness

    Knowledge is an understanding of theory of what we have to do and why. In order to make something as your habit you need to understand the theoretical aspects of such necessity. How is it connected to our praying life? Let me explain that. We acquire knowledge by reading the Bible, Word of God. We know why we have to pray, then we can make a habit of praying, just because we know what we have to do. We should pray without ceasing – I know this and so I do why. Let me elaborate on it. Awareness of what I gain or lose by having a particular habit helps us to develop that habit.

    In reality, effective life is impossible without appropriate preparation. Jesus solved the question of effectiveness by preparing Himself for the ministry. There is almost no information about what Jesus had been doing during the first 30 years of His life. Gospels tell us the story about His ministry. Meanwhile, we need to understand that prior to starting His ministry Jesus had been seriously preparing himself for quite a long time.

  • Our life is a product of what we see IV

    There are two options for the future. First option is what I call the predictable future. We must carefully look at our past and present. When thinking of the future we must realize that if we don’t change the things we do every day then it will be easy to predict our future, – the future won’t be any different than the present. If we do not make any changes today, then tomorrow we will have the same results; we will live in the same conditions, if not worse.
