In our lives we must reflect the life, the power and the nature of Christ II

ByPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 3 minutes
Greetings to you, dear friends! Praise God for this wonderful day He has given us! Thank God for one more opportunity to be filled with His living Word! We have been talking about our destiny as God’s children, and it is to be the light to the world and the salt of the earth. We will only be able to shine in this world if we allow God’s Word to rule our lives. It says in the Bible: 
“Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path» (Psalm, 119:105).
 It is God’s Word that starts the light of God in our hearts and leads our steps on the right path: 
 «You will light my lamp; the LORD my God will enlighten my darkness» (Psalm, 18:28).
 It also says in the Bible that we will have God’s light only when we follow the example set by Jesus Christ: 
 «Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, “I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life» (John, 8:12).
 As Christ’s ambassadors and the representatives of God’s Kingdom (which is the kingdom of light) we must understand our role and know who we are in Christ. We know that the devil is the ruler and governor of the kingdom of darkness, and he has a program for this earth. But God has made us ambassadors of light so in order to stop the devil from blinding the people’s minds and to open the people’s eyes to the truth of God’s Word. We must teach the truth of God’s Word to the people because God’s Word gives us light. We will shine with the light of God’s truth if we live according to this truth and if we allow God’s Word to rule our lives. We must seek ways to preach and plant God’s Word into the human hearts in the power of the Holy Ghost. It is necessary so that the people living in darkness would be enlightened. When the Bible talks of darkness and the absence of light, it actually talks about ignorance and the lack of insight. Our calling as Christ’s ambassadors and the bearers of His light is to shine the light of the truth into the places ruled by darkness, where there is lack of knowledge and revelation of God. We must fill this earth with the truth of God’s Word. 
«And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free» (John, 8:32).
 Be blessed! Till tomorrow! Pastor Rufus Ajiboye

  • You are the epistle of Christ through which His salvation can spread through the whole world!

    Paul is saying that many people hear the Gospel but still are not enlightened by that. These people had made their choice to continue living in sin, therefore, satan, the god of this world had blinded their minds so that the light of Gospel remains unveiled to them, regardless of how hard somebody tries to share the gospel with them. Nevertheless, Paul and his partners presented to others the brightest light of the Gospel, – that is Christ Himself, who is the image of God. Paul was convinced that people should be able to see God in Christ, so he preached Christ and instead of preaching about himself.

  • Temptations or trials are a kind of test or exam

    If you arm yourself with the knowledge that problems and trials are a test to all of us, and once it´s passed we receive a certain reward from God, then a holy desire to win given by God will be awaken within you. None of you is born willing to be a loser in this life. We all desire to win, but no win where is no battle. For the problems and trials are those battles we either get defeated or celebrate the victory at. Going through hardships and pain in our life, we better understand the price, Jesus paid for our salvation. «…you are partakers of Christ’s sufferings…».

  • The goal and intentions of God for men on the earth

    Heaven is the place from which Jesus rules and reigns over everything. What God says about us in His Word is the truth which we must believe. Now we have God’s nature in us and it must be continually fed and nurtured. We must believe that now we have heavenly authority and power that was given to us in order to destroy the works of devil on earth. That is what Jesus did when He walked on the planet earth: He destroyed and undo the works and intentions of the devil. He set an example for us to follow in His foot steps:«For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil» (1 John, 3:8b).

    God wants His people to know His Word – the truth which sets us free from lies and sin. The Bibles says that Jesus came to give us life – life in abundance. God’s life is contained in His Word. God’s wisdom and might is contained in His Word! God wants you to realise what great treasure there is for you in His Word. This treasure is not comparable with any silver or gold. God’s Word – it is a jewel beyond price, everlasting, and it brings health, answers and solutions.

  • What are the grounds or foundations of favour? II

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 3 minutes
    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 importance of stopping all activities and being alone with God

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 3 minutes
    «From there He arose and went to the region of Tyre and Sidon. And He entered a house and wanted no one to know it, but He could not be hidden.»Jesus came to Tyra and Sidon to find some solitude and rest from people because His last day was coming closer – the day of His death on the Golgotha. Possibly, Jesus wanted to be alone with His Father to discuss what was awaiting Him on the Golgotha. Thus, Jesus was showing us an example of stopping all activities and being alone with God. We also need – every once in a while – to leave all the clutter of this world and all its cares and to find time for being alone with the Father. God is calling you today to find right time and a right place to be alone with God even among all the cares and stresses of this world. By doing it you will be able to gain access to godly wisdom, receive peace from God and succeed in this life.
