Moving your mountains

Dear Friend, I greet you today in the Name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. The saving power of Christ is manifested in our lives on a daily basis as we make efforts to receive, obey and practice His word consistently in every situation of our lives. One of the things the Word of God teaches that I want you to meditate upon today is the wisdom of moving your mountains.This principle is elaborated in the gospel of Mark chapter 11:
“Have faith in God,” Jesus answered. 23″I tell you the truth, if anyone says to this mountain, ’Go, throw yourself into the sea, and does not doubt in his heart but believes that what he says will happen; it will be done for him. 24Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours” (Mk.11: 22- 24).
The above passage instructs us to do at least three things:
  • To have the faith of God.
  • Speak to your mountains
  • Believe in your heart and doubt not that what you will happen.
The last two of the three actions is just an explanation of the first action. They explain how the faith of God operates. The Bible tells us in the book of Hebrews that the universe was created by faith:
“By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God’s command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible” (Hebrew11: 3).
And the first chapter of Genesis tells us how God release His faith to create the Heaven and the earth.
“And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light…6And God said, “Let there be an expanse between the waters to separate water from water.” 7 So God made the expanse and separated the water under the expanse from the water above it… 9And God said, “Let the water under the sky be gathered to one place, and let dry ground appear.” And it was so.” (Genesis 1: 3, 6, 7, 9).
God spoke or gave a command and it was so. He speaks because of His faith. He believes that whatever He speaks we come to pass, so He spoke and it was so. Faith is release through words, -words of faith. One of the ways we released our faith is by speaking to our problems.  Very often we speak about our problems instead of speaking to them. Very often we tell God about our problems instead of telling our problems about our God. The Bible instructs us to do it differently. You are instructed to
  • Speak to your mountains
  • Tell it to move
  • Believe in your heart and doubt not and you will have what you say.
Another Scripture that illustrates this principle is in the book of Job.
“What you decide on will be done, and light will shine on your ways.  29 When men are brought low and you say, ’Lift them up!’ then he will save the downcast” (Job22: 28-29).
Please note that faith has to do with decision first of all. You have to make up your mind on what you are going to believe or do. And secondly, it has to do with speaking forth what you want. If it is dark all around you, what you need is light, so stop talking about the darkness and start speaking to the darkness to disappear. Do what God did: He simply said, “Let there be light” and there was light. Tell your darkness to give way for light. And it will be so. The problem today is not that we are not speaking, but that we are not speaking the things we ought to be speaking.Meditate on the Lord and begin to see that the Lord is greater than all the mountains of your life. Consider the fact that the Lord loves you too. And don’t forget to thing about His trustworthiness. You can trust God to do what He has promised to do, if you will do your own part.You are going to rise up in confidence today and speak to your mountains. Mountains must move in your life today in the Name of Jesus.However, before I conclude, I must warn you that there are other factors that will determine if your faith will work or not. In the Book of Job that we we’ve just quoted we can see two other factors that we need to consider before speaking tour mountains. One of the factors is:
 ”Accept instruction from his mouth and lay up his words in your heart (Job 22: 22).
Another thing is to:
return to the Almighty and remove wickedness far from your tent (Job 22: 23)
There is power in your mouth that must be release right now. You are going to release that power today by speaking to your mountains. Try and see if it works or not. The power of life and death is in your mouth, chose to use that power to bring life instead of death. That is how God Himself operates. Remain blessed! Pastor Rufus Ajiboye

  • Our highest calling – to reveal God in our flesh

    The Bible says: «For the law was given through Moses, but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. No one has seen God at any time. The only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, He has declared Him» (John, 1:17-18).The law can never save people because the law only reveals the sinful nature of man. The law was given in order for people to realize their need for God and His help. It was Jesus who brought to us the truth and the grace that conveys spiritual power necessary to live in accordance with God’s will. Anyone who will accept this truth and grace will have the power to live a holy life and become an instrument in God’s hand that is able to manifest or declare God’s truth and grace to other people.
  • Where there is life there is hope

    Hope is one of the greatest words of the Christian faith. It is one word the unsaved man cannot use, because there is no hope for the unsaved according to the Bible (Ep.2: 11-13). If you are reading this word today and you have not accepted Jesus as your Lord and Savior, your hope begins with that step. If you want to take that step but you don’t really understand what that means and how to do it, please read our booklet: The Jesus you never knew or visit our page: becoming a friend of God.

  • Put to death therefore your members which are on the earth

    “Put to death your body”- means letting the resurrected life that dwells in you spring its roots. By feeding our old sinful nature we strengthen it and as a result of this the sinful nature prevails the resurrected life inside us. In opposite, when thinking about things that are above ans seeking those things we enable ourselves to celebrate a victory over sin and the old nature.Quite often, when somebody hears that he has to put his body to death he says to himself: “I can´t do it!” This is the voice of your old nature. Though, let me share the good news with you – the Bible says, when Christ reveals Himself so will you in His glory, and your new life will be transformed into abundant life. If we have fellowship with God, seek things that are above and reason about Him, then Christ will definitely reveal Himself in our life.
