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

ByPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 2 minutes

Greetings to you, dear friends! I am happy for the opportunity to share with you the pearls of wisdom from God’s Word.

God told Joshua:

«This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success» (Joshua, 1:8).

Twelve spies from the nation of Israel went to explore Promised Land, and afterwards ten of them said that it was impossible to conquer it and only two of them were convinced that it would be their land. The ten were led by visible circumstances that are why their position was negative: „We won’t be able to do it. We won’t succeed, because we are small and weak, not like the inhabitants of the land.” They looked at the external hindrances because they thought that their destiny depended on and was determined by the surroundings. But the other two of them – Joshua and Caleb – knew what you and I know today, – that our destiny is not determined by the surroundings; it is determined by the condition of our hearts. Joshua and Caleb said quite the opposite: «We are able, because God is with us; thus nothing will stand against us!» Those were not empty words; they were spoken with confidence, because these men kept God’s Word in their hearts. We have to realize that in order for some things to flow out of your heart, you need to store some things there.

The Word of God that you keep in your heart will save you! In hard times, when people rise against you with slander and when all the circumstances seem to be against you, only the Word of God that you have in your heart will save you. That is why we say that God’s Word is our support system. It is like a bearing wall in a building. If you take it down, the building will collapse. A bearing wall carries the weight.

If we keep God’s Word in our hearts, it will be a support system in our lives.

We will continue tomorrow!

May God protect you!

    When we look at the life of Jesus Christ we see that He did not live an independent life. Jesus was accountable to His Father in everything – in words and deeds: «Then Jesus said to them, „When you lift up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am He, and that I do nothing of Myself; but as My Father taught Me, I speak these things» (John, 8:28).

  • What are you doing with your promotion?

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 3 minutes
    Promotion is connected to the issue of wealth, and we are not talking just about money. Riches are more than money. Health, joy, good relationships, peace, rest, and love – those too are riches. Many people have lots of money, but they lack true riches. God tells us today not to be haughty and not trust in material things; we need to trust God alone. We should be generous and sociable. When problems come, God is the only One Who can help us. Trust God and do good works. By doing this, you will draw God’s attention and earn God’s promotion.

He has prepared an amazing destiny for every one of us. Each person is born for specific purpose. Every one has a calling, but only the Lord knows what that calling includes.

  • Piety II

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 4 minutes
    Calling upon God – means to have habitual prayer life. Prayer helps us to draw near to God and releases His provision, because He is close to all who call upon Him. We also talked about the fact that our provision depends not only on our ability to call upon God, but also on how much we fear God. To fear God means to avoid evil, to do good, to seek peace and to follow it. God’s provision and blessing is the reward of those who fear Him. We also pointed out that God has secrets that are meant for dedicated people who call upon His Name and walk in the fear of the Lord. Besides all of the above, it is important to know that dedication to God is impossible without the love for Him.
