Bez ticības nav iespējams izpatikt Dievam

Without faith it is IMPOSSIBLE to please God

ByPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 3 minutes

Slava Dievam, par vēl vienu iespēju mācīties no Viņa.

Šodien es gribētu parunāt ar jums, par ļoti svarīgu tēmu, konkrētāk, par ticību. Katrs no mums ar savu dzīvi vēlās izpatikt Dievam. Bībele saka, ka bez ticības nav iespējams izpatikt Dievam.

Ticība, bet tieši bibliskā ticība — tā ir sadarbība ar Dievu. Dievs nedarīs visu tavā vietā. Viņš nedarīs tev to, ko pats nevēlies priekš sevis darīt. Nevajag sēdēt, pasīvi saliekot rokas, cerībā, ka Dievs uzliks maizi uz tava galda.

Pierādījums tam, ka tev ir ticība Dievam, parādās tad, kad tu pildi tās instrukcijas, kuras jau zini. Tieši tajā ir visa jēga lūgšanām un Bībeles lasīšanai, — lai iepazītu Viņa gribu un izprastu Viņa domas, saprastu, ko Dievs vēlas un pielietot to visās savās dzīves situācijās.

Tiklīdz, Dievs atklāj tev Savas vēlēšanās, attiecībā uz jebkuru tavas dzīves sfēru, Viņš gaida no tevis atbilstošu rīcību. Tieši tava rīcība, kura pamatota ar Viņa Vārdu, ir tavas ticības pierādījums. Dieva Vārds saka, ka ticība bez darbiem ir mirusi.

«Līdzīgi kā miesa bez gara ir nedzīva, tāpat arī nedzīva ir ticība bez darbiem.» (Jēkaba vēstule 2:26).

Visā Bībelē mēs redzam, ka ticība vienmēr bijusi saistīta ar ticīgu cilvēku darbību un rīcību. Pēteris teica Jēzum, ka viņš iemetīs tīklus pēc Viņa Vārda:

«Un Sīmanis atbildēja un Viņam sacīja: “Meistar, mēs cauru nakti esam strādājuši un nenieka neesam dabūjuši; bet uz Tavu vārdu es gribu tīklu izmest.» (Lūkas evaņģēlijs 5:5).

Tas kļuva par lūzuma brīdi Pētera darbā un dzīvē.
Vai tu arī vēlies piedzīvot Dievišķu izrāvienu savā dzīvē? Ticība tajā spēlēs atslēgas lomu. Tomēr, ticība tie ir konkrēti darbi, nevis pasīva Dieva brīnuma gaidīšana. Šodien caur savu darbību un rīcību ticībā pierādi Dievam, ka tu tici Viņam.

Atceries, ka ticība — tā ir sadarbība starp cilvēku un Dievu. Dievs dara Savu daļu, bet cilvēks — savu.

Lai Dievs šodien bagātīgi tevi svētī! Uz drīzu tikšanos!

  • It is extremely important for us to grow in God’s character and nature so that we can effectively function on earth

    «It is an abomination for kings to commit wickedness, for a throne is established by righteousness» .In order for a throne or a reign or government to be established, it must be done by righteousness or truth. As we’ve said before, in Paul’s Epistle to Romans we are told that we rule on earth by the gift of righteousness (see Rom.5: 17).The Power, authority and wisdom to rule on earth come into our lives through our uncompromising stance against sin and unrighteousness. If we choose righteousness and total submission to God and His commandments as our lifestyle, then God can channel His authority into our lives; our life will be filled with God’s authority, and God will grant us the right to rule and reign on earth.

  • What is compassion?

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 5 minutes
    We must understand that Jesus’ disciples were not perfect; quite the opposite, they are ordinary people with „character issues”. Jesus did not wait until they become perfect, but sent them out to serve people. He did not have anybody else to send; so He worked with what He had. And He is calling us to do the same today; it applies to every one who considers himself to be His disciple. Jesus desires for God’s children to be filled with compassion and to help people allowing God to touch all the people around them with His love.If we see someone perishing physically because of some illness, we do everything to save him. We often do not realize that unsaved people are spiritually ill, that they are perishing and need salvation. We must do everything in our power to save them. So our hearts need to go out to them with love and compassion.

  • The fruitfulness of a Christian starts with the discovery of God’s will in all areas of his life and the readiness to fulfills it

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 5 minutes
    «And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God» (Romans, 12: 2).We are filled with the knowledge of God’s will through renewing our minds by the Word of God. Through the renewal of our minds we learn to think as God thinks and look at our lives through His eyes. You won’t be able to please God if you are not doing His will for your life. In order to do His will you first need to discover it. That is why wise people who want to bring real fruit for God through their lives devote themselves to discovering and comprehending what God wants to do in their lives and through their lives. We have pointed out many times that a person can become fruitful by renewing of his or her mind through personal fellowship with God, prayer and intensive study of God’s Word.

  • Our highest calling – to reveal God in our flesh II

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 4 minutes
    Jesus dwells in me, therefore I must manifest His life to others. Jesus did not reveal Himself to others; He only revealed and manifested to others Who the Father is and He did only the Father’s will. God said in His Word that whoever glorifies Him will also be glorified by Him. When God glorifies or uplift you, nobody can break, humiliate or pull you down.«Now thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and through us diffuses the fragrance of His knowledge in every place. For we are to God the fragrance of Christ among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing» (2 Corinthians, 2:14-15).
