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!

    If you had a polluted garment on even a brand new garment, what would you feel like? I am sure you would feel disgusted. This is exactly what those who try to please God through their good works without Christ feel. It doesn´t matter how many good works you do, God would never accept you unless you accept Jesus by faith. God´s peace enters your heart because you get to know Jesus and realise that in Him you are saved and accepted by God.

  • God desires to give you true success

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 5 minutes
    As we said before, a successful person is the one who knows what God wants him to do in his life and has dedicated his life for doing God’s will. Human success is not measured by his social status, banc accounts, and influence in society, popularity or fame in this world. True success is measured by how successful he has been in doing God’s will.Think about it today! God desires to give you true success that can be found in learning and doing God’s will for your life. You are the one who determines what to do with your life: either seeking temporary pleasure and enjoyment or seeking the eternal values of God’s Kingdom and His will for your life.

  • The blessedness or beauty of serving others

    Today I would like to start discussing about the blessedness or beauty of serving others.Ministry is a widespread concept among believers. In essence, ministry is giving of all things: giving of one’s talents and gifts, one’s knowledge and time, one’s heart and resources. The Kingdom of God is built through such giving. Your church is built by your giving and ministry. It says in the Bible that it is more blessed to give than to receive. God blesses those who serve, so if you want to get to the top of God’s blessedness learn to serve God and people.

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

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 2 minutes
    It is time to know that changes are initiated rather than expected. Changes do not happen by chance, they happen because someone initiated them. When it was dark and void all around, God initiated change by introducing light. He said “Let there be light”.“In the beginning, when God created the universe, the earth was formless and desolate. The raging ocean that covered everything was engulfed in total darkness, and the Spirit of God was moving over the water. Then God commanded, “Let there be light”—and light appeared” (Gen.1: 1-3)
