Life is a Purpose

ByPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 3 minutes
Welcome, dear friends! Grace and peace from our Father God and our Lord, Jesus Christ be with you! Yesterday we started to talk about “strategical living”. As we said, life is time. Right attitude towards time helps us to rightly to life itself and vice verse. Each of us should pay great attention to the way we manages his time. Today I would like to look at another side of life: 
  1. Life is a Purpose.
 God has created each of you for a certain purpose. God has a common purpose and a personal (individual) purpose for each of us. Our common goal is to glorify the Lord. However, God also has a peculiar purpose He has created every individual to fulfill. I was sent to the Earth to solve certain problems. If you are driven by such awareness you will live a strategical life. Each of you has a certain goal and a purpose set by God. 
« For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared before that we would walk in them.»(Ephesians 2:10).
 Each of you was created to solve a certain task from God. That’s why God has given you this time. Life is time, that’s why you should use it for solving your task. Therefore, if you dedicate your time to getting to know God’s will for your life, then to fulfilling your purpose, you won’t have time to do wrong things. The task assigned to you by God can make you either popular or unpopular, a leader or a subordinate. It’s important to dedicate yourself to fulfilling God’s goals. God’s goal may also determine whether you will live a short or a long life. It’s important to accept God’s goal then fulfil it. You have to respect that goal and do your best to achieve it. God’s goal is a place of your blessings. God’s goal for your life is something that will make you a blessing for the other people. God’s goal dresses you up and helps you to improve this world. It helps you to be a blessing everywhere you go. Your appearance should make people feeling better. The goal and the purpose of God help you to enrich the church, enrich people and the land where God has set you to live. Your goal helps you to glorify the Lord on Earth. Life is a goal! You live, then you have a goal. But what is that goal? What drives you every day? Life is a goal! Life is time! It’s important to know God, because without relationships with Him you will never get to know the goal of your life. Jesus revealed Himself and His task through the Scriptures first, then dedicated Himself to this task, dedicated Himself to fulfilling the goal received from God. The closer we are to God, the easier for us to get to know His will and the goal for our life. When you are close to God, you hear His voice, so God can easily lead you, then you follow His way. Having close relationships with God make you sensitive to His voice and guidance. Tomorrow we are going to discuss what certain tests our life is connected to. God bless you abundantly! Rufus Adjiboje, pastor

  • Our life is a product of what we see IV

    There are two options for the future. First option is what I call the predictable future. We must carefully look at our past and present. When thinking of the future we must realize that if we don’t change the things we do every day then it will be easy to predict our future, – the future won’t be any different than the present. If we do not make any changes today, then tomorrow we will have the same results; we will live in the same conditions, if not worse.

    In order to hear God’s voice, it is necessary that you learn to stop and calm down – calm down your mind, feelings, emotions, and only then you can hear what God says to you. When you learn to hear God’s voice, not only will you have eternal life, but also life in abundance, which is concealed in you. There will be problems, but you will be able to rejoice, because you will be sure that your God has an answer for any question, your God is able to solve any problem. Human mind tries to calculate everything – how are all things going, how everything must happen. Our minds work like fast processors. But the problem is that situations appear in our lives, and we cannot solve them. What happens to our mind-processor then? It falls out.

  • The importance of having the right connection between your evenings and your mornings

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 4 minutes
    What does this tell us? It tells us that God started His day in the evening. It is very important for us to borrow this wisdom from our Heavenly Father. If we get up in the morning and only then start thinking about what we need to do for the day, then we are already starting it in the wrong manner and have already starting too late. The last moment to start your day is the evening of the previous day. In the evening we need to have a composed idea of what we are doing the next day. We need to have a plan for the next day. Before we go to bed we need to have a vision for the next day. If we are too lazy to make any plans for the next day before going to bed then we are heading towards poverty both physical and spiritual. It is crucial for us to accept this wisdom from God to start the day in the evening of the previous day: «So the evening and the morning were the first day».

  • Walk in the light and do not give place to the devil! II

    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.

  • God is looking for fruits in your life!

    «Lord, I desire to bear more fruits in my life. I am asking You to cleanse me, so that I become capable of bearing more fruits. I accept God’s grace to stay on the vine tree. I shall bear much fruits for God in Jesus Name!»The Bible says we should grow until we reach perfection in Christ (see Ephesians, Chapter 4). Therefore, it doesn’t matter how anointed and fruitful you are now, there is a higher level prepared for you by God – the higher level of effectiveness and fertility.

  • A person must be filled with the Word and live by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 5 minutes
    People “dull of hearing” are not the ones who do not listen at all; they are the ones who are not able to grasp and comprehend.When we feed on God’s Word, this Word helps us grow spiritually. When we do not do it, we stay spiritual babies. Looking at some churches we can see that they are full of spiritual babies. This situation does not bring joy to God, because He can’t rely on spiritual babies.
