Life is a trust

ByPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 5 minutes
Good day, dear friends!Thanks God for this wonderful day and for another opportunity to be feed and filled with the living word from God! As we stated earlier, it’s very important for us to understand the essence and the value of life itself. It was also said, that life is time, and life is goal and life is a test. When you understand that life is time, you plan your time in such a way so that you can manage to accomplish the right and the most important things of life first. Every person was born to solve a certain problems and to accomplish a particular purpose Understanding this truth helps us to live strategically. Besides, when a person understands life is a test, he relates to every difficult situation in life as an opportunity, not as an obstacle. Today I would like to touch yet one more side of life. Life is a trust. You should understand there is nothing that belongs to you. Your life itself is not yours, it’s a trust God has shown to you. Understanding this truth changes the way you respond to what is going on around you. You do not live for yourself; you did not appear on this Earth by your own act of will or for your own personal purpose. God has given life to you as a sign of His trust for you. You are entrusted with life from God and the day will come when you will have to give account to God for the life He given to you, – for all your deeds and words while living in your body. The understanding of this truth will make your life important. We do exist because of Him, not the other way round. God can live without me, but I, in turn, cannot live without Him. God has entrusted me with my life, therefore. It belongs to Him. Life is a trust! Saying you trust God doesn’t make you a hero. It’s silly not to trust God. Anybody can trust God. There is no reason why one should not trust the Almighty, all knowing God. There is a different question to answer. Whom does God trust? It’s easy for you to trust God, while it’s important to know whether God trusts you. It’s necessary that God can trust you. God has entrusted you with your life, so that He can bless you and release more and more of His resources into your life. However, in order for that to happen, you have to prove to God that He can trust you by the way you relate to all the things you have already received from Him. Each of us has received something from God. You can prove to God that He can trust you by understanding that everything you possess has been given to you by God and by using all your talents the right way and for the right purpose. Once you prove to God that you can be trusted with things of value, He will bless you with more and more of His eternal resources,- more and more power, wealth, anointing, grace, influence and glory. Please do a self evaluation and check yourself out on how you are using all what God has already given to you. Majority of Christians think their prayer is the key to everything, so whenever they run into problems, they turn to God in prayer, asking Him for help and so on. I am not trying to underestimate the power of prayer; it’s truly important and essential in our Christian life to prayer and to run first to God in the days of trouble. But my point is this: prayer (petition) can’t resolve all our problems; petition can’t solve problems caused by disobedience. All problems caused by disobedience can only be resolved through true and sincere repentance and not prayer as many people understand it. Obedience is a sign of repentance. When we deserve God’s trust, God gives us much more than the desires of our heart or what we are asking for. God will do exceeding more abundantly above that which we ask or what we can imagine (see Ephesians 3: 20). 
«Be careful therefore how you hear. For whoever has, to him will be given; and whoever doesn’t have, from him will be taken away even that which he thinks he has.»(Luke 8:18).
 The above spiritual principle works in the Kingdom of Heaven: the one who has, to him will be given more. If you use and apply the truth that you already received more will be given unto you, other wise, you will begin to loose the truth you knew before. Truth not applied will be lost. This is a fundamental truth in the bible. You need deep understanding of this truth, because if you reason otherwise, you will be feeding your pride and no truth from the Scripture will be ever benefit you unless you make up your mind to apply them to your life. Everything in your life must be based on this fundamental truth. Life is a God’s trust to you. May we better justify His trust to us by bearing a lot of fruits for the benefit of His Kingdom! This is what He expects from us! God bless you abundantly!See you tomorrow!Rufus Ajiboye, pastor

  • Worthy Goal for Life

    Every person has a goal, whether he talks about it or not. He is driven to do something. But if we talk about goals, it is important to determinewhether it is WORTHY or UNWORTHY. Paul had a worthy goal and talked about it all the time:«…according to my earnest expectation and hope that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but with all boldness, as always, so now also Christ will be magnified in my body, whether by life or by death. For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain. But if I live on in the flesh, this will mean fruit from my labor; yet what I shall choose I cannot tell. For I am hard-pressed between the two, having a desire to depart and be with Christ, which is far better. Nevertheless to remain in the flesh is more needful for you.

  • Prayer is a two-way communication

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 5 minutes
    Like I said, it is not what I tell God that it is the most important thing in prayer; it is what God wants to tell me. I will explain why it is so. Is there anything you can tell Him that He does not know! Is there anything at all? He knows everything. You may think that nobody knows what you are going through and that nobody knows the problems you have and how hard your life is. That may apply to people, but not to God. God knows everything! Even before you start praying, God knows everything you may want to tell Him. God also knows why these things are happening to you.

  • The Importance of God’s will

    Today I would like to start talking about „The Importance of God’s will”. The Holy Scripture says: “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven” (Mathew, 7: 21). The Bible calls every one of us to have sound mind, especially in learning the will of God for his or her life.«Therefore do not be unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is» (Ephesians, 5:18).Why is it so important to allocate some time for seeking out the will of God? Why is understanding of God’s will so necessary for a person? It is because the understanding of God’s will determine both our happiness here, on earth, and our status in the future, in eternity.

    «But you, O man of God, flee these things and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, gentleness. Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, to which you were also called and have confessed the good confession in the presence of many witnesses» (1Timothy, 6:11-12).We say that these three things help us to lay hold on eternal life. We also established that eternal life has its beginning on earth when we get to know the only true God and His Son Jesus Christ.
