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!Pastor Rufus Ajiboy

    «There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death» (Proverbs, 16:25). A wise man learns from the mistakes of others. I believe that this message will help us stop and not take the wrong path, since it won’t give us any fulfilment.Yesterday we discussed the fact that Solomon tried to find happiness and satisfaction in pleasures of life. He realized that all these things are vanity and „grasping for the wind”. We saw the things Solomon sought as the source of enjoyment. First, he tried different delicacies. They brought satisfaction to Solomon’s body, but he soul remained empty and hungry.

  • How can we earn promotion? II

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 3 minutes
    Who of you desires for God to be with you as the Partner at home, at work, and everywhere else? God wants it more than we do. But God can not deviate from His principles. Many believers deceive themselves thinking that God is with them, even though their life does not testify of it. It is a paradox. You may think that since God has promised to be with you and never to leave you or forsake you, He is indebted to be with you. It is also possible that God is with us, but not in a pleasant way. It is not about God; it is about how we live.

  • The importance of having the right connection between your evenings and your mornings

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 4 minutes
    What does this tell us? It tells us that God started His day in the evening. It is very important for us to borrow this wisdom from our Heavenly Father. If we get up in the morning and only then start thinking about what we need to do for the day, then we are already starting it in the wrong manner and have already starting too late. The last moment to start your day is the evening of the previous day. In the evening we need to have a composed idea of what we are doing the next day. We need to have a plan for the next day. Before we go to bed we need to have a vision for the next day. If we are too lazy to make any plans for the next day before going to bed then we are heading towards poverty both physical and spiritual. It is crucial for us to accept this wisdom from God to start the day in the evening of the previous day: «So the evening and the morning were the first day».
