Without faith it is IMPOSSIBLE to please God

ByPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 3 minutes
I am so glad that we have another opportunity to draw wisdom from the Lord Jesus Christ. Today I will like to talk with you on a very vital topic, and that is on Faith. I believe it is the desire of every serious child of God to please God with his or her life. The Bible already tell us one way we can do that, and that is by walking in faith. Hebrew 11:6 declares that without faith it is IMPOSSIBLE to please God. Please note that this scriptures is not saying it will be difficult to please God without faith, but rather it says it will be an impossible task to please God without faith.Faith, – biblical faith is cooperation with God in all sense. God will not do everything for you. He will not do for you, what you are unwilling to do yourself. Don’t just fold your arm in passivity expecting God to put bread in your mouth. The proof that you have faith in God is to carry out the instruction you already know. That is the essence of praying and reading the Bible, – to discern His will and understand His mind concerning a given situation and then act on what you know God is calling you to do. As soon as God reveal to you His will concerning any situation or areas of your life, He is expecting from you the corresponding action. It is your ability to act on the Word of God that proves to God the level of your faith or trust in Him.The Word said faith without work is dead.
 “For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also “ (Jas 2:26).
Throughout the whole Bible we can see that faith is always connected with definite action of the believer. For example, Peter told Jesus “ at thy word I will let down the net”
” And Simon answering said unto him, Master, we have toiled all the night, and have taken nothing: nevertheless at thy word I will let down the net” (Luke 5:5).
This became the point of breakthrough in the life and business of Peter. Do you aspire divine breakthrough in your life? Faith will play a vital role in that. However, Faith is action and not passive expectation of miracle from God. Proof to God through your action and attitude today that you trust Him and you have Faith in His Word.Remember, Faith is cooperation between God and man. God does His own part and man must do his own part as well. May the Lord bless you abundantly this wonderful day of the week! See you next time! Pastor Rufus Ajiboye

  • The importance of unity

    This Scripture tells us that the people had one goal, they had one language, and they put forth a unified effort, and it says about them that “now nothing that they propose to do will be withheld from them”. God said that because of their unity they would be successful in everything that they do. In the Bible God often speaks to His people about unity. Unity is a very important key that allows us as God’s people or the Church to fulfill the will of God and our calling in this earth.

  • What do we have to do in order to witness spiritual revival filling our cities?

    Jesus didn´t come into this world to die on the cross so that people become religious and indifferent to God. Contrariwise, Jesus came to fill the Earth with His glory just like rivers fill the seas. Jesus set an example of what we have to do. Wherever Jesus showed up He stirred the place! Everywhere He showed up people responded to His visit both positively and negatively. Some of them said: “Watch the Messiah, He is the answer, He is the son of God!” while the others stated: “He is obsessed by demons, He is a sinner, blasphemer, He is dangerous, so He must die”.

  • Do You Hear What God Speaks? III

    There is another voice that we hear – it is the voice of other people and the voice of human standpoint. For example, the voice of experts goes in this category – a doctor who proclaims what the medical equipment indicates. A doctor may tell the patient that he will die in three days, because the medical equipment, the analyses and his own medical experience show that. Praise the Lord for our doctors, but we must know that the last word always belongs to God. God often says the totally opposite to what experts say. In such cases, it is necessary that we, while being respectful towards different specialists, put aside the expert conclusions and trust God, not people. The more you trust the expert conclusions and not the Word of God, the less God can give you life.

  • What are you doing with your promotion? III

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 3 minutes
    Whosoever desires to be promoted by God needs to remain humble and simple. I have noticed that many of us cannot sing and dance before the Lord because we have become very important. Remember how freely you worshipped the Lord when you first got saved! It is rather difficult to fellowship with some believers nowadays, because they have become so ‘adult’, serious, important… David, the shepherd, and King David – both praised and loved God in the same way; the change of position in life did not affect the condition of his heart. We have to cleanse our hearts from haughtiness and pride.
