It is the content of your heart that determines where your life is heading!

I am glad to welcome you again to our Daily Word for Spiritual Strength.God is so good to us. I am grateful to God for the opportunity to share the revelations He has given to me.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.We discussed before about the importance of filling our hearts with God’s Word. And we also talked about the fact that we are responsible for our own destiny. The kind of life we have will depend greatly on our choices in life. What determines the pathway of our lives? Is it enough for us just to desire to have a good life? Maybe you think it’s important to be born in a rich and famous family? Or maybe you think life would be better in a different place or country, perhaps we should all move and live in a better country! No, these things do not determine your happiness, your wellbeing, the direction your life is heading in, or your destiny.It is the content of your heart that determines where your life is heading!Let’s have a look at Daniel’s life. Daniel was a teenager when he was taken to captivity in Babylon. Daniel found himself in a bad situation, but despite it all he always was determined to honour God. Others in the same situation would have complained, moaned and blamed each other. But Daniel had favour in the king’s eyes. The Bible says that on arriving in Babylon Daniel made the decision not to defile himself by eating the royal food. Why did he make this decision? Because he not only knew the word of God, but he kept it deep in his heart. When finding himself in captivity in Babylon, Daniel had embedded within his heart the source of life, which is the word of God. That was why he was not afraid to disobey the king’s orders that are contrary to his belief. He refused to accept food from the royal table, but instead he remained obedient to God’s Word. Making such a decision he knew that this could put his life in a great risk, because he was there in Babylon not as a person with right but as a hostage who had to do as he was ordered. However, Daniel took this risk and the Bible said that he found favour and everything around him flourished. As thigs began to florish in Daniel’s life and as he climbed up the ladder of success because his life was pleasing to God, many people in Babylon were envious of him. That was the reason why they manipulated the king to introduced a new law that will prohibit anyone to pray to any other god except to the king. They knew this was a law that Daniel could not keep. Though the people were against Daniel and wanted to trick him in this way, he stood firm and true, they could not change him or his destiny. Daniel was thrown into the lion’s den, but he returned from there safe and sound, testifying about God’s protection, after this Daniel prospered even more.God’s Word, kept deep in our hearts, is a light to our path and speaks to every situation in our lives.I am looking forward to continuing this teaching tomorrow.May God give you wisdom and understanding of His Word!Pastor Rufus Ajiboye.

  • The sample of effective prayer

    In order to pray effectively one needs a sample. Christian life is a spiritual life, therefore, connection with Heaven is vitally important. Our God is a spirit, but we all live on Earth, so we need to stay connected with God. There are only two ways of having fellowship with God – The word of God and a prayer. The God speaks to us through His word. The word of God is His revelation about God himself. Neither you can create the character of God by yourself nor you can imagine what kind of person He is, because you can easily fail getting it right. The God tells us in His word about who He is, what He can do and how He acts.

    The only way to see what the Father is doing is to spend time with the father. If you don’t want to just go about doing your own things in your own way, please follow the example of Jesus.

    When we serve people, we should be careful to see to it that all the good works we do, such as taking care of people, giving words of encouragement, gestures and deeds of love are all done for the purpose of drawing those people closer to Jesus and uniting them with Him, and not to glorify ourselves. You should understand that people’s problems will be solved only when they are united with God. If we really want to help people we should understand that nobody can do it better than our Creator.

    We concluded that we are hands, feet, mouth and heart of our God. If we refuse to collaborate with God, He will not be able to act or fulfil His plan in our cities and our countries. We stopped at what do we have to do in order to witness spiritual revival filling our cities? To make it happen we must become obedient disciples of Jesus Christ. God uses this kind of people to fulfil His prophesies and restore His will on Earth.Obedient disciple is one who moves and works for God, not sitting and doing nothing, so God can move through such person.

  • Preparation is a key to effective life

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 3 minutes
    In reality, effective life is impossible without appropriate preparation. Jesus solved the question of effectiveness by preparing Himself for the ministry. There is almost no information about what Jesus had been doing during the first 30 years of His life. Gospels tell us the story about His ministry. Meanwhile, we need to understand that prior to starting His ministry Jesus had been seriously preparing himself for quite a long time.
