Our life is a product of what we see II

ByPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 3 minutes
Peace to you, dear friends! I salute you on the pages of our „Daily Word for Spiritual Edification»!We have been talking about the fact that we can plan together with God and partner with Him to construct a great future. We established also that great future does not happen automatically.We are believers, but that does not mean that we do not have to think about the future. We should not be careless about our future even though we believe that our future is in the hand of God. God has given us a mind and He wants us to move forward and create a wonderful future for ourselves. A person who does not care about his future usually turns to be a failure. It is very important to plan for the future and to envision it.
«Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us…»(Ephesians, 3:20)
Yesterday we discussed the idea that God first places some images of what He wants us to become in our minds and thoughts. That means we first need to accept God’s plan and ponder upon it, or we will never have it. And in order to start pondering upon it we need to see this plan in our minds. What we cannot see we cannot have. God wants us to stop complaining about our life and to get serious about creating a new, successful future. The Bible says that
 „God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind” (2 Timothy, 1:7).
God has not given us the spirit of fear, but of power, of love and of a sound mind. The phrase ‘sound mind’ means ‘healthy mind’. God wants us to use our minds and purposefully move towards our wonderful future. If you have no understanding and no ideas of what your tomorrow is going to be like or if you really do not care about it or you lack the vision for it, it is all wrong, because God Himself does not want you to live like that. Many people have different excuses in this area, saying, „God alone knows my future; so why should I think about it?” Others say, „Whatever will be will be; there is nothing I can do about it”.   It is all a lie, and it is a wrong, erroneous thinking. God is calling us to become partners with Him so that together you can design a wonderful future. God cannot do it without us, and we cannot do it without Him. If we will cooperate with God, ponder upon the things He thinks and speaks of us and our future and move towards that future, – we will start seeing real changes in our lives. Till tomorrow! God bless you! Pastor Rufus Ajiboye

    Today I would like to complete our discussion about searching for a goal of our life, and how we can find true happiness under the sun. We observed Solomon who measured long and burdensome way looking for his happiness and satisfaction.Thanks God for having it written for us, so that we can avoid the mistakes Solomon mentions in the book of Proverbs. Solomon has understood that life without God is an absolute illusion, but happiness without God is a mirage. This is what he writes as a conclusion to his book:«This is the end of the matter. All has been heard. Fear God, and keep his commandments; for this is the whole duty of man. For God will bring every work into judgement, with every hidden thing, whether it is good, or whether it is evil.» (Ecclesiastes 12:13-14).

    We are going to have a look at the two sides of forgiveness.Forgiveness is something, life on Earth would turn into the sufferings of hell without. Every human faces the question of forgiveness time to time. We like the word “forgiveness” when we receive it, but what about when we have to forgive somebody, give something away from yourself? Quite often we are not willing to do so. Though, the true understanding of forgiveness obliges us to notice two sides of forgiveness. Let’s have a look at the verses from Scripture that help us to see them.
