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

  • The importance of stopping all activities and being alone with God

    «From there He arose and went to the region of Tyre and Sidon. And He entered a house and wanted no one to know it, but He could not be hidden.»Jesus came to Tyra and Sidon to find some solitude and rest from people because His last day was coming closer – the day of His death on the Golgotha. Possibly, Jesus wanted to be alone with His Father to discuss what was awaiting Him on the Golgotha. Thus, Jesus was showing us an example of stopping all activities and being alone with God. We also need – every once in a while – to leave all the clutter of this world and all its cares and to find time for being alone with the Father. God is calling you today to find right time and a right place to be alone with God even among all the cares and stresses of this world. By doing it you will be able to gain access to godly wisdom, receive peace from God and succeed in this life.

  • On what does your destiny depend?

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 3 minutes
    We mostly think that our destiny is determined by other people or how they act toward us. Or we think that destiny depends on the circumstances that surround us or things that happen around us. But it is not true, and God does not think that way! God knows that the circumstances in your life won’t define your life. What people do or do not do to you cannot determine your life. Your destiny is defined by where your heart is. Thus, God tells us that we have to guard our hearts with all diligence.

    «Behold, the Lord’s hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; nor His ear heave, that it cannot hear» (Isaiah, 59:1).God loves every person. He has prepared an amazing destiny for every one of us. Each person is born for specific purpose. Every one has a calling, but only the Lord knows what that calling includes. When a person fully submits to the Lord, then He opens to this person everything that concerns his or her calling.

    «For we know in part, and we prophesy in part; but when that which is complete has come, then that which is partial will be done away with. When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I felt as a child, I thought as a child. Now that I have become a man, I have put away childish things. For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I will know fully, even as I was also fully known». (1st Corinthians 13:9-12).

  • Your gift will make room for you! II

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 4 minutes
    «A man’s gift makes room for him, and brings him before great men» (Proverbs, 18: 16).Studying the church history, we see that all of God’s generals didn’t start big. These people used what they had and did whatever they could. They began using the abilities they had. Eventually, their gifts found their place in the Body of Christ and grew into large ministries.For example, Dr. T.L. Osborn saw that people needed salvation, so he started meeting this need to the best of his ability: he started printing little tracts on his printing machine and went door to door leaving them in their post boxes. At the time he couldn’t even imagine that it will lead him to huge international evangelistic ministry that he has today.

  • The counselling II

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 3 minutes
    A good counsellor should help a person to perceive his problem from God’s viewpoint. People must first notice the problem, and only then they will have any interest in solving it. Very often we do something wrong simply because we do not believe our actions to be erroneous. So, one of the tasks of any counsellor is to open person’s eyes so that he or she can discover what actually is going on in his or her life, how God sees the situation, realize that his or her lifestyle is causing problems. It is a very important quality that we must develop in ourselves so that we can be effective in helping others.
