Our life is a product of what we see IV

ByPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 3 minutes
Greetings to you, dear friends! Once again I salute you on the pages of „Daily Word for Spiritual Edification”!I thank God for the opportunity to share with you the revelations God gives me. I believe that this word inspires you, just as much as it inspires me. For several days now we have been talking about creating the future we can enjoy. Today we will finish talking about this topic. 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. All of us know that every person has certain habits. It tends to be rather difficult to get rid of old habits. But a successful future is impossible without getting rid of wrong habits that a person has at present. Second option is the desired future that is the future we desire to experience. In order to reach this future we are ready to change things and our lives. If you don’t like the life you have today and your achievements, if you don’t have peace, if you are not content with what you have attained at present, it means only one thing: you have to start changing things in your life. Miracles do not happen for “no reason”. There are two sides to every miracle – human side and God’s side. Before the children of Israel crossed the sea, Moses did his part that God told him to do. He had to take his staff and hold it towards the sea. When Moses did his part, God did His, – He parted the sea. Unless Moses did his part, God would not be able to do His. There would be no miracle. Miracles do not happen accidently. A successful business, a happy family, obedient children – these things are not accidental; they take a human doing and then God’s doing. For example, the Holy Spirit won’t pray instead of you; He helps us in our weakness. We need to pray, and then the Holy Spirit will be helping us. We can think of our future as something happening by accident. We must enter the partnership with God. We must pray. We must ask God some questions. We must be like Noah. God revealed to him that there is flood coming to the earth; after that Noah started to build his future – an ark. When the flood came, it was not a surprise to him; Noah was totally prepared. Noah calmly entered into the future he had prepared long before the flood. We enter what we have prepared. For this reason, it is very important to start building the future today. What future are you building today? Are you like Noah who was building the ark for the future? The flood will come, and the things you have built will be your protection tomorrow. God bless you! May God give us wisdom so that we can cooperate with God and enter the future He has envisioned for us! Till tomorrow! Pastor Rufus Ajiboye

  • God is looking for fruits in your life!

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 5 minutes
    «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.

  • We must prepare the way so that the Lord could come in glory and fullness!

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 5 minutes
    God has a way. He does not force Himself on people; He is the God of order. Until there will be a way prepared for God, He won’t come. Many of us would like for God to come, but He does not come without proper preparation. God goes where people are ready for His visitation. And when God comes, then all barriers are cast aside, the desert starts blooming, the mountains and hills are brought down, the valleys will be filled, the crooked places are made straight and the rough places are made smooth. God can show us the great picture of what He wants to do among us and through us as His people or the Church. But it will take a serious preparation and it will require of us to be very responsible.

  • Value God’s Word! IV

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 4 minutes
    Today I would like to continue talking about the importance of God’s Word.We saw what God spoke through Moses that God’s Word is our life. We also talked about the fact that our attitude towards the Word can either prolong our life or shorten it. We have already seen in the parables of Jesus that our attitude towards God’s Word determines the strength of our foundation, our life and all the things we are building. Yesterday we also talked about the fact that God’s Word is able to change our disappointments into joy, bankruptcy – into abundance. We saw all of it in the life of Peter. I would like for us to look at the verses that talk about Peter when he was utterly failing and ready to give up.

  • You have been created, redeemed and restored! You were born twice!

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 5 minutes
    We are not only created by God, we are also reworked or recreated by Jesus Christ. We are talking about the opportunity available to sinful people because Christ has come into this world. This is exactly what the letter to Ephesians says:«You were made alive when you were dead in transgressions and sins, in which you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the powers of the air, the spirit who now works in the children of disobedience; among whom we also all once lived in the lust of our flesh, doing the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest. But God, being rich in mercy, for his great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead through our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), and raised us up with him, and made us to sit with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, that in the ages to come he might show the exceeding riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus; for by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, that no one would boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared before that we would walk in them.» (Ephesians 2:1-10).

  • Why God does speaks to us and why is it so important for us to learn to hear His voice?

    1. To give us revelation about God (about Himself).First of all, God will speak to us in order to reveal the truth about Himself. If we fail to hear the voice of God we will never get Him to know well enough to become His friends.

  • God changing us through discipline

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 4 minutes
    I believe that discipline is one of God’s tools that help us to change and achieve effectiveness in our personal lives and ministry. Every one of us has a dream or a goal for our lives. But however good or grand these plans or desires are, discipline is a necessary prerequisite for these things to come to pass. Many ideas and desires never come true because people lack discipline.
