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

God is able to change the course of our lives for our good.

    When we read the Bible we receive doctrine, which means we start to see where we should go. Through the reading of the Bible we are shown the direction for our thought life, our words and all other areas of our lives.Besides, the Bible is profitable for reproof. Quite often we start walking the way the Bible has shown us, but then we somehow get distracted, lose the right direction and get sidetracked. It is through reproof that we are shown that we have taken the wrong path

  • The changes must start with us

    «When I was young my imagination did not know any boundaries. And I wanted to change the whole world. In time I realized that I wouldn’t be able to change the world, so I tried to change my country. When I realized that I wouldn’t be able to change the country, I concentrated on changing my city. But I couldn’t change my city either. So, when I had grown older, I tried to change my family. Now when I am an old man waiting to cross over to the other side I have understood that the only one I could change was me. Suddenly I realized that if I had worked on changing myself I would have been able to really affect my family and then my family and I could have affected the city. Through the changes in the city we could have changed the country and the world”.

  • Without faith it is IMPOSSIBLE to please God

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 3 minutes
    Faith, – biblical faith is cooperation with God in all sense. God will not do everything for you. He will not do for you, what you are unwilling to do yourself.Don’t just fold your arm in passivity expecting God to put bread in your mouth. The proof that you have faith in God is to carry out the instruction you already know. That is the essence of praying and reading the Bible, – to discern His will and understand His mind concerning a given situation and then act on what you know God is calling you to do.
