Jesus came to fill the Earth with His glory

ByRolands Z Reading Time: 3 minutes

Good day dear friends! Welcome to the column “Daily word for spiritual strength”. I am glad to share the word of God with you.

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”.

Though, nobody was indifferent towards Jesus. People always discussed Him. The same way us, once we let Jesus work through our life, the place around us will be stirred, so nobody will stay indifferent. It will become difficult then, to ignore us, to avoid talking about us and the God we represent. People will definitely discuss our deeds. But what is even more important, God will be able to use us to carry out His plans. Today there are people in our town who say our church comes from God and that we are doing a good job. Meanwhile, the other category of people are sure we are a dangerous sect. That´s normal. Once the town becomes stirred by the living God, people will talk about us even more.

Jesus needed a donkey to enter Jerusalem according the prophesy, but there was a problem with the donkey, it was tied up. Jesus sent two of His disciples to solve that problem saying:

«Go into the village that is opposite you, and immediately you will find a donkey tied, and a colt with her. Untiethem, and bring them to me». (Matthew 21:2).

Can you see how Jesus stirred the city? He sent His disciples there. Today God has physical body no more, today His church represents His body. We are His hands, His feet, His mouth and His heart. If we refuse to collaborate with God, He will not be able to act or fulfil His will in our cities and our countries. So how can we collaborate with Him, so that the Holy Spirit can come? What do we have to do in order to witness spiritual revival filling our cities?

Let´s talk about it tomorrow! God bless you abundantly! Rufus Ajiboye, pastor

    Heaven is the place from which Jesus rules and reigns over everything. What God says about us in His Word is the truth which we must believe. Now we have God’s nature in us and it must be continually fed and nurtured. We must believe that now we have heavenly authority and power that was given to us in order to destroy the works of devil on earth. That is what Jesus did when He walked on the planet earth: He destroyed and undo the works and intentions of the devil. He set an example for us to follow in His foot steps:«For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil» (1 John, 3:8b).

    God does not come into our lives without being asked. Praying means to invite God to come and help us. It is a realization of the fact that I am weak and there is One Who is stronger than me, Who loves me and cares for me. Prayer is an invitation to the One Who is stronger than me and my circumstances.Do you remember Jairus? We read about him in Mark (5:22-23). He had sent his people to Jesus to invite Him to his house, because his daughter was on the verge of death.

  • You have been created, redeemed and restored! You were born twice!

    We are not only created by God, we are also reworked or recreated by Jesus Christ. We are talking about the opportunity available to sinful people because Christ has come into this world. This is exactly what the letter to Ephesians says:«You were made alive when you were dead in transgressions and sins, in which you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the powers of the air, the spirit who now works in the children of disobedience; among whom we also all once lived in the lust of our flesh, doing the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest. But God, being rich in mercy, for his great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead through our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), and raised us up with him, and made us to sit with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, that in the ages to come he might show the exceeding riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus; for by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, that no one would boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared before that we would walk in them.» (Ephesians 2:1-10).

    «He sent His word and healed them, and delivered them from their destruction» (Psalm, 107:20).God’s Word is able to radically change your life. And it is wonderful! We can’t even imagine and fully grasp what a tremendous power is contained in God’s Word! It does not matter what circumstances surround you today and what people are saying or doing against you. It often happens that the closest people hurt us and it affects us deeply.
