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

ByPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 3 minutes
Welcome to our „Daily Word for Spiritual Edification”!I hope the word you have been reading on our website has been a blessing to you. We would appreciate your responses – testimonies or revelations inspired by this word. Today I want to continue on the theme that the condition of our hearts determines our destiny.Let’s turn to the Bible:
“Therefore lay aside all filthiness and overflow of wickedness, and receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls” (James, 1:21).
This is a very profound verse of Scripture that must be considered and closely examined. But I would like to draw your attention to several points. Here the Bible talks about the implanted Word which saves our souls. It resembles the process of engrafting a branch of tree into another tree, after which these trees become one, since they have the same root system. The implanted Word must be one with me. God wants His Word to be planted in my heart so that the Word and I become one because it is only then will the word be able save my soul.The implanted Word is powerful enough to bring salvation to our souls.Sometimes people tell me that God’s Word is not working. From time to time Satan sends this type of thoughts into our minds, trying to persuade us that even though there is so much Word from God around and we hear it all the time, all of this does not work in the lives of quite many people. God’s Word won’t work in your life unless it becomes one with you; unless it becomes ‘implanted’. If the Word is engrafted into me, then I start acting in accordance with it. If the Word is implanted, then it dominates my thoughts, actions, reactions, emotions, having become a part of me. The engrafted Word inside of me controls how I react. The implanted Word affects absolutely all facets of my life. If I get into a difficult situation and try to get out of it on my own, then it can end badly for me. But if the Word is engrafted in me, then I will react in accordance to the Word, which is engrafted and is now a part of me. The circumstances might not change right away, but because of the implanted Word I am different and react differently to the things happenings around me. If the Word of God is implanted in me, then the things that irritated or bothered me before do not have the same effect on me today. On the outside it might seem that nothing has changed, but because of the implanted Word I have life and peace in me.Do not treat the Word casually, but read it, meditate on it and ask God for revelations in order for this Word to be engrafted into your heart and bring the desired fruit.May God bless you today in a very special way!Till tomorrow!Pastor Rufus Ajiboye

    We are going to have a look at the two sides of forgiveness.Forgiveness is something, life on Earth would turn into the sufferings of hell without. Every human faces the question of forgiveness time to time. We like the word “forgiveness” when we receive it, but what about when we have to forgive somebody, give something away from yourself? Quite often we are not willing to do so. Though, the true understanding of forgiveness obliges us to notice two sides of forgiveness. Let’s have a look at the verses from Scripture that help us to see them.

  • Organization of effective prayer life IV

    Prayer is meaningful time with God.I will explain what I mean by that. Quite often I use the word ‘time’. Prayer is one of the means of organizing and managing the time we have been given. What is the topic of our prayers is a very interesting question. We all talk about it. There are so many books written on prayer. But who is the person who prays truly effectively? This is a very serious question. God desires us to arrange our lives for effective prayer; it will take our ministry and our whole life to a much higher level.

  • Apart from Him there is no true satisfaction and happiness! III

    We will continue about Solomon’s search for happiness, satisfaction and the meaning of life. We have already discussed that in the beginning of his life Solomon sought God and loved him, and God gave him wisdom and riches, happiness and fulfilment in life. But Solomon got caught up with superficial things of this world and started to follow other gods. Solomon started seeking for happiness and satisfaction in things and activities. He found only disappointment in them and then he turned back to his beginning.The story of Solomon is a lesson to all of us; it tells us that the meaning of life, happiness and satisfaction cannot be found anywhere but in God alone. So we need to develop and strengthen personal relationships with God.

    If we are aware of the authority of Jesus, if we identify ourselves with His rule and submit our lives to it, then we can walk in the name of Jesus and crush under our feet all those things that do not fit the will of God and come up against it. And we will see victory!I pray that the Lord would help us all to grasp the true meaning of the lordship of Jesus. When we proclaim “Jesus is LORD!” having the proper understanding, then it brings changes into our lives.

  • Everything that gets into God’s hands multiplies

    For several days now we have been discussing the how the gift when it is used makes room for us and takes us before great people. When the gift is used it broadens our possibilities and destroys limitations. Thank God for creating us just the way we are.Dear friend, you have been given the things you need to start your supernatural ministry. Do not view your gift as being something small and insignificant. When Jesus told His disciples to feed the multitude, they argued with Him, saying: “We have here only five loaves and two fish”. I guess the disciples expected Jesus to say: «Oh, yes! Then let the people go, because we don’t have enough for everyone!» But Jesus did not say that. He managed to feel the multitude of people because one little boy gave back to the Lord the little he had.
