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

  • Effective prayer of a believer is a serious threat to Satan´s plans and actions

    Why does Satan hate it and is afraid of the prayers of the children of God? This is because in a prayer, we and God become a team – an invincible team. In the Book of Daniel, there is a description of an event when a certain group of people prompted the king to issue a law prohibiting contact in a prayer with the living God. Except for the living God, they were allowed to pray any other gods. They were allowed to ask for help to people, but not only living God. And it was Satan´s plan. Why does Satan put these obstacles? Because he realized that the prayer is power.

    Yesterday we started talking about our goals. Everyone has them. We discussed that there are worthy and less worthy goals. We also saw that after meeting Christ, Paul devoted his life to Him; earnest expectation of Christ to be glorified in his body and through his life became his main goal in life. It is very important to ascertain for ourselves what our goals are.You and I have been justified by faith in Jesus Christ and we have peace with God. But it is just the beginning. Having been reconciled with God is just the beginning of the Christian walk. What awaits us afterwards? Through faith we gain Access to God’s grace and we expect the glory of God to be progressively revealed in us and through us.

  • When did God speak to you the last time?

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 4 minutes
    You are reading the Word of God and you hear God’s voice, and the Holy Spirit speaks to you. God has a plan for us. If we live in this plan, we have a life in abundance. But if we are not in God’s plan, we cannot enjoy this life. Outside of God’s plan there is no real life. We want to live in God’s plan, but God must reveal this plan to people through the Word of God and Holy Spirit.
