Greetings to you, dear readers, on this wonderful day! God makes every day anew, and His mercy is new for us every morning!We are talking about importance of our hearts being filled with God’s Word that is full of grace and life of God.
«A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good things, and an evil man out of the evil treasure brings forth evil things» (Mathew, 12:35).
In Gospel of Luke, the same idea is expressed differently:
«A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart brings forth evil. For out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks» (Luke, 6:45).
Some people continually blame others and their hearts are full of negative things, fear, insecurities. The reason is that they have allowed these things to enter their hearts and settle in. Whatever you let in, the same things also goes out.Therefore, it is very important to feed your faith by being filled with God’s Word. If your heart is not full of God’s Word, then in hard times you will have fear, unbelief, anger and vengeance coming out of your heart.Not long ago I received a letter from a very close person. He asked me to agree with him in prayer for God to send down fire and judgement on those that have been acting against him and hindering his success. Immediately I told him that I wouldn’t pray for that. I told him that I would pray for his adversaries to live and see how God blesses him. David once said:
«You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; you anoint my head with oil; my cup runs over» (Psalm 23:5).
That is the kind of prayer I like: that God would prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies so that they could see that nothing is able to stop the grace of God in my life. My enemies do not determine my destiny; it is God and my heart that does!Once Jesus wanted to pass through one of villages of Samaria, but the people did not let him. Disciples offered Jesus to destroy these people by fire how it happened in the days of Elijah, when the prophets of Baal and the armed people that Ahab sent to arrest Elijah were destroyed. So the disciples based their actions on the Scripture. But Jesus told them that He was not sent to destroy people’s lives, but to save them. Jesus asked His disciples what manner of spirit were they of if they wanted God to destroy their enemies. God calls us to love our enemies, to pray for them, to bless those that curse us, to feed them if they are hungry. So Jesus wanted His disciples to understand an important truth: their enemies are not strong enough to change their destiny.If you guard your heart and fill it with God’s Word then nobody will be able to change your destiny! There is nobody that can stop you!Guard your heart, because out of it flow the issues of life!Till tomorrow!Pastor Rufus Ajiboye

    Many people ask me: «If God is good, why does He allow so many tears, tragedies and sorrow in this world? If it´s not His merit then where does all the evil come from? Where does a tragedy come from? What is its source?» Honest and apparently innocent people that suffer want to know why and what are they suffering for. Consecrated, true believers that seek God with all their heart, and also suffer want to know why such things happen in their lives. People of all generations have asked these questions.

  • God desires to give you true success

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 5 minutes
    As we said before, a successful person is the one who knows what God wants him to do in his life and has dedicated his life for doing God’s will. Human success is not measured by his social status, banc accounts, and influence in society, popularity or fame in this world. True success is measured by how successful he has been in doing God’s will.Think about it today! God desires to give you true success that can be found in learning and doing God’s will for your life. You are the one who determines what to do with your life: either seeking temporary pleasure and enjoyment or seeking the eternal values of God’s Kingdom and His will for your life.
