Our life is a product of what we see IV

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. The 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 from 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.
The second option is the desired future, which is the future we desire to experience. In order to reach this future, we must be 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 – the 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 accidentally. 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 cannot 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 was a 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 into 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!

  • The Church of Jesus Christ is a place of accountability!

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 7 minutes
    We walk not just before God, but also before one another. When we are willing to do the things the Bible tells us to it allows us to change and grow spiritually. We established that churches are usually divided into small groups (or home groups) so that people can care for one another more effectively.In order to receive the things we need to lead a healthy spiritual life it is important to be ‘an open book’. Then other people are able to watch and study you. If you are ‘closed up’ for other people, then you won’t receive the help you need through the home group meetings.

  • What does it mean to fear God?

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 4 minutes
    It means obeying His commandments, knowing who is the real Boss on the top of everything. Fearing God means the acknowledgement of His strength, His magnificence, His power, His holiness and therefore, respect and honour Him.Fear of God is a kind of salubrious fear, not a kind of phobia people needing a psychiatric treatment have. Fearing God we understand that He is going to judge us for our sins and it impacts our deeds.

  • Jesus came to fill the Earth with His glory

    AutorsRolands Zeltiņš Reading Time: 3 minutes
    Jesus didn´t come into this world to die on the cross so that people become religious and indifferent to God. Contrariwise, Jesus came to fill the Earth with His glory just like rivers fill the seas. Jesus set an example of what we have to do. Wherever Jesus showed up He stirred the place! Everywhere He showed up people responded to His visit both positively and negatively. Some of them said: “Watch the Messiah, He is the answer, He is the son of God!” while the others stated: “He is obsessed by demons, He is a sinner, blasphemer, He is dangerous, so He must die”.

  • Life is a trust

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 5 minutes
    You should understand there is nothing that belongs to you. Your life itself is not yours, it’s a trust God has shown to you. Understanding this truth changes the way you respond to what is going on around you.You do not live for yourself; you did not appear on this Earth by your own act of will or for your own personal purpose. God has given life to you as a sign of His trust for you. You are entrusted with life from God and the day will come when you will have to give account to God for the life He given to you, – for all your deeds and words while living in your body.

  • We must be grateful to God in all things!

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 4 minutes
    When things go fine and when God answers our prayers, it is easy to thank God, – at those times we thank God and adore Him. But as soon as God decides to answer us in a way that does not fit our plans, we start thinking whether there is any sense in prayer. The Bible calls us to thank God in everything. The Bible calls us to praise God aloud so that other people would hear it. Be grateful to God, praise him, and sing to Him – aloud! Thanksgiving is the very model of prayer that Jesus gave to His disciples.

  • The importance of unity

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 3 minutes
    This Scripture tells us that the people had one goal, they had one language, and they put forth a unified effort, and it says about them that “now nothing that they propose to do will be withheld from them”. God said that because of their unity they would be successful in everything that they do. In the Bible God often speaks to His people about unity. Unity is a very important key that allows us as God’s people or the Church to fulfill the will of God and our calling in this earth.
