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

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

Without God I cannot, but with Him I can do all!
AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye 2024-October-22016-September-5 Reading Time: 4 minutes
We can not do the works of God without God. Very often in our own strength, we try to do what God requires us to do with Him. Often we rely on ourselves and on things we already know. Often we rely on our experience. But when the prayer is our priority we understand that when relying on ourselves and doing the job without prayer, we are wasting time and energy. Without a strong prayer movement in the church, the church vision cannot be accomplished. It´s just not possible!

When we obey God, then divine power is released to bring about the manifestation of all necessary intervention

The bible has this to say about obedience: “If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land” (Isaiah 1: 19). Whether or not we will taste the blessings of the earth depends on our obedience.Marry told the attendants at marriage feast in Cana of Galilee: “Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it” (John 2: 5).

The blessedness or beauty of serving others!

Ministry is a widespread concept among believers. In essence, ministry is giving of all things: giving of one’s talents and gifts, one’s knowledge and time, one’s heart and resources. The Kingdom of God is built through such giving. Your church is built by your giving and ministry. It says in the Bible that it is more blessed to give than to receive. God blesses those who serve, so if you want to get to the top of God’s blessedness learn to serve God and people.

How can we face any opposition and problem with our faces shining at the same time?
AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye 2024-March-102016-February-13 Reading Time: 2 minutes
The Scripture mentioned above teaches that it is necessary for us to look unto God by entering into His presence and learn to draw strength and wisdom from Him. Let us look at the life of Moses. Moses’ face was shined when he descended from the mountain where he spent time conversing with God. This is what Psalms 34:5 is talking about. Those who looked unto God and met with Him were definitely enlightened. Such people will never be disgraced.

We have to be ready to go wherever God sends us to
AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye 2012-December-282012-December-27 Reading Time: 4 minutes
As we concluded yesterday, we have to become obedient disciples, so that our families, our church and our towns can be stirred. God uses obedient disciples to fulfil His prophesies and restore His will on Earth. Even more, we have to be ready to go wherever God sends us to. Thus we can fulfil our calling. Obedience to call begins with obedience to short instructions God gives to us through His word and our leaders in Christ.It´s also important to know that Jesus knows everything, He possesses all hidden information, necessary for our mission. That´s why obedience to the Lord who knows everything is vitally important! When Jesus had a need for a donkey to ride upon to Jerusalem, He knew where to find the animal. He knew where to go and find that donkey. He knew how to bring that donkey to Him.

Walk in the light and do not give place to the devil! II
AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye 2024-July-242016-June-26 Reading Time: 3 minutes
The lordship of Jesus Christ is what helps us to walk free from the accusations of Satan; with it in our lives, the blood of Jesus Christ works on our behalf. Our accuser is not the only voice before God; our Advocate and Intercessor Jesus Christ is also there defending us. If you will listen to the accuser, you consider yourself dirty and you won’t have the confidence and boldness to come before God. But if you will listen to your Intercessor Jesus Christ, then you will walk in repentance and the blood of Jesus Christ will cleanse you.
