Not only prayer helps us enter God’s presence, it is a source for godly revelations

ByPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 3 minutes

Dear friends,

I am glad to welcome you to our column „Daily Word for Spiritual Strength”!

God wants to manifest His mighty presence in our lives! And, as we have been talking about, it is impossible to experience God’s presence without prayer.

Today, I would like to talk even more specifically about prayer. Not only does prayer help us enter God’s presence, it is a source of godly revelations.

We saw that the secret of Moses’ success as a leader was the fact that he spent time with God. Moses became closer to God in his prayer and God became closer to him. Godly revelation is the fruit of such intimacy with God.

Because Moses was with God, he heard from heaven, and it helped him be successful.

“The LORD said to Moses, “Come up to Me on the mountain and stay here, and I will give you the tablets of stone, with the law and commands I have written for their instruction.” (Exodus 24:12)

Moses received messages from God because he spent time with Him.

If you want to be an effective servant of God, whatever the quality of your ministry may be, you must learn to receive messages from God.

God knows the needs of the people whom you serve. He will always give you fresh manna so that the people whom you serve may be fed and encouraged every day. If you want to be a successful Christian, allow God to give you a fresh word from heaven every day. Then you will always be fresh and fruitful.

Moses continually heard from heaven; God talked to him face to face, like with a friend, because Moses was striving to be closer to God.

“The LORD would speak to Moses face to face, as a man speaks with his friend. Then Moses would return to the camp, but his young aide Joshua son of Nun did not leave the tent.” (Exodus 33:11)
“He said, “Listen to My words: “When a prophet of the LORD is among you, I reveal Myself to him in visions, I speak to him in dreams. But this is not true of My servant Moses; he is faithful in all My house. With him I speak face to face, clearly and not in riddles; he sees the form of the LORD.” (Numbers 12:6-8a)

God spoke to Moses face to face, not in riddles and visions. Moses could clearly distinguish when it was God speaking and when not.

If Moses was able to become closer to God, then why should we not do the same?

If prayer is a source of godly revelations, then wisdom requires that anyone who is thirsty for His revelations approach God in prayer.

We shall continue tomorrow!

May God richly bless you and give you a revelation about the importance of prayer!

  • Transformed person is a person with the right and pure motives

    Transformed person serves other people because he loves them, not in order to benefit from them. It makes me sad when I meet people who minister because it gives them a certain benefits. It´s awfully hard to change a person who has such motives. Judas Iscariot who betrayed Jesus was one of this kind. For three and a half years he had stayed with Jesus, but in no way it changed him, because he had sinister motives. Judas Iscariot was greedy, money loving man. Jesus put Judas in charge with financial part of His ministry, so he had access to money and offerings. First Judas began to steal money from their pay-box, later also betrayed his Master.

  • How can we experience God in our life?

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 6 minutes
    Studying the Bible we see God doing great feats through many people. He was able to realise His intentions using those people just due to their revelation and understanding of God´s key principles. While living in the different times, educated on a different level, belonged to the different cultures all Bible heroes basically have something in common. The secret of the success and feats they had is obvious – they knew God and interacted with Him. They experienced God´s power and His mercy in their lives. How did they succeeded? It became possible because they dedicated themselves to God. That´s exactly what God is inviting us to do.

  • Love is a weapon of victory of the last time III

    The principle of love protects our hearts, emotions and our life from injuries and bruises. Hatred, evil, betrayal, cruelty and lack of understanding among people will multiply at the last days. Jesus never sinned, while people back-bit Him anyway. But, how Jesus reacted to that back-biting? He never replied with back-biting, never tried to overcome evil with evil. He knew it would not work this way, quite opposite it would have increased the amount of evil, pain, emotional injuries and hatred in the life of a person who tries to overcome evil with evil.

  • Sacrifice as a measure of love!

    Where love goes, sacrifice follows. Thus, the depth of my love can be measured by my readiness to sacrifice. Many people say that they love God, but we can’t forget that our love is not measured by our confession alone. Our love is measured by the sacrifices we make!

    Jesus humbled Himself and was obedient unto death. And for this very reason God exalted Him and gave Him the name above every other name.
