In order for us to do the works of Jesus, we must ask for it in prayer!

Greetings to you, dear readers! Our Lord is good and merciful!
«Your mercy, O LORD, is in the heavens; your faithfulness reaches to the clouds» (Psalm 36:5).
He has loved His church and every one of us with everlasting love! And His love is the very thing that makes sure our lives do not stay the same. God desires for us to be changed so that we would become live and fruitful. Prayer is the instrument which connects us to God and fills us with His power, anointing and ability to do the things that Jesus did.Once I preached a sermon and its title was „May God arise and His enemies be scattered!” We must allow God to arise, and only then His enemies will be scattered. We must do certain things to allow God arise. But too often it happens that we are the ones that arise and go; and when we face enemies, they overcome us and we give up. It happens because we do not allow God to go before us. God must go before us, and we must follow Him. May God arise! Jesus expects us to act wisely, since He has left us His Word.
«Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father. And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son» (John, 14:12-13).
When Jesus Himself says ‘most assuredly’, it means He wants us to pay attention. These two verses are connected. Jesus says that we can do the works that Jesus did and even more, if we pray. Jesus tried to tell His disciples that He has been given all authority in heaven and on earth and that He will represent them in heaven, because He will be sitting with Him on the heavenly throne. Jesus told His disciples that they should ask in His name and that He would do what they ask so that His Father would be glorified.In order for us to do the works of Jesus, we must ask for it in prayer. Doing the works of Jesus – it is our calling, because we do not come to church to play games or to make motions. Prayer is the beginning and the foundation of everything.I am praying for all of us to hear the message sent to us by God. I am asking God to help us have a breakthrough in prayer, and that we would pray, not just know about prayer. I am praying that every one of us put to practice the truth about prayer and have profound and consistent prayer life. God loves you even if your prayer life is not what it should be and even if it is not in order. God will never reject you, because He is our Father. God is patient. His desire is that we put our prayer life in order, and He will help us with it, because it is the foundation of our success in God’s kingdom.Till tomorrow!Peace be to you!Pastor Rufus Ajiboye

    I want to begin this word with a story: A man had a wonderful garden that brought him a rich, abundant harvest.

He did not water his garden, did not cultivate, neither loosened the soil. When the autumn came, his garden was neglected and full with weeds. And, of course, it did not bring forth any fruit.

    Many people ask me: «If God is good, why does He allow so many tears, tragedies and sorrow in this world? If it´s not His merit then where does all the evil come from? Where does a tragedy come from? What is its source?» Honest and apparently innocent people that suffer want to know why and what are they suffering for. Consecrated, true believers that seek God with all their heart, and also suffer want to know why such things happen in their lives. People of all generations have asked these questions.

    If a person doesn’t have any desire to serve, it is very difficult to motivate him. This desire has to be strong enough to move you to action; otherwise you won’t do anything. It is easy to teach and lead a person that has a desire and an interest in something. And it is very difficult to convince and motivate the one who is indifferent. Where does the desire to serve come from? This desire comes from the understanding of God’s will and the purpose of our salvation.

    In order for me to change I need to follow Jesus. It means I need to follow and submit to His Word and His instructions. It means to spend time with Him to learn His heart and to participate in His mission. To follow Christ also means to imitate Him in all things. It means to react like He reacts, to speak like He speaks, to love what He loves and to hate what He hates.
