Greetings to you my dear friends! Mercy and peace of our Heavenly Father and the Lord Jesus Christ be with you! Yesterday we discussed the necessity to think about God focusing our attention on Him, later it helps us to worship God in prayer.Let´s see what people were focused on before the great flood:
 «Yahweh saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.» (Genesis 6:5).
Thoughts and desires of their hearts had always been evil. I wish you realise that your thoughts are a part of your spiritual life. We read in the verse above that everything people were thinking about and searching for before the great flood was evil. That´s why they were unable to worship God. A person constantly focusing his his mind on evil things can´t see a reason to praise and worship God. Worship softens our hearts and brings peace that makes changes in your life. Therefore, it´s us who need worship not the God.We worship God thinking about Him.
«Even as they refused to have God in their knowledge, God gave them up to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not fitting; being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil habits, secret slanderers, backbiters, hateful to God, insolent, haughty, boastful, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, without understanding, covenant-breakers, without natural affection, unforgiving, unmerciful;» (Rom.1:28-31).
Thinking about God and His Majesty, focusing our mind on Him should become something we are constantly worried about. That´s what Jesus taught His disciples. You have to look at God with the eyes of your heart before you open your mouth for prayer.Humble meditation of the God´s character He revealed to us is another way of how to worship Him. We receive His mercy when reading His Word, this, in turn, testifies about God´s character.
«I will exalt you, my God, the King. I will praise your name forever and ever. Every day I will praise you. I will extol your name forever and ever. Great is Yahweh, and greatly to be praised! His greatness is unsearchable. One generation will commend your works to another, And will declare your mighty acts. Of the glorious majesty of your honour, Of your wondrous works, I will meditate. Men will speak of the might of your awesome acts. I will declare your greatness. They will utter the memory of your great goodness, And will sing of your righteousness.» (Psalm 144:1-7).
That´s what David is saying about his intention to meditate of God´s acts and His Majesty, His mercy and righteousness. People willing to worship God effectively meditate of His character. For example we say – God is love. You can begin thinking of God´s love towards you, your family members and so on. Doing so you will adore Him, you will also receive a revelation that God really is love. Once you start reasoning about the Almighty God, you realise you can do all things, just because the Almighty God is with you. Moreover, it´s not an agreement with your mind, but it came through your heart. That´s why worship is a transforming power that forms the way you think and helps you to focus your attention on God. The greater you see our God the smaller you see your problems, indeed.Be blessed in the Lord! Meet you tomorrow again! Rufus Adjiboye, pastor

    God has created each of you for a certain purpose. God has a common purpose and a personal (individual) purpose for each of us. Our common goal is to glorify the Lord. However, God also has a peculiar purpose He has created every individual to fulfill. I was sent to the Earth to solve certain problems. If you are driven by such awareness you will live a strategical life. Each of you has a certain goal and a purpose set by God.

  • Wisdom of a man and wisdom of God

    There are a wisdom of this world and God´s wisdom. God´s wisdom differs from the wisdom of this world the way that it´s hidden until the God Himself reveals it to the people. As for the wisdom of this world, that´s a human wisdom gained using five methods of perception, or sense: hearing, sight, touch, smell, and taste, which are the natural channels used to gain a knowledge.Differently from God´s wisdom that exists for our glory, the wisdom of a man once passes away. The Bible says, that «the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men», even more His wisdom is. God´s wisdom is much higher than the wisdom of a man.

    Planning helps to effectively communicate our vision, desires and our expectations to others.Planning not only gives us a better understanding of the task, it also helps us to effectively pass on our wishes and expectations to others who will team with us to carry out the task. How can you ask for help from others, if you do not have a clear understanding of what you really want to accomplish? During the process of planning, your ideas will become more specific and clearer, and then you can effectively pass them on to others.

  • Do not be discouraged if you feel like God hasn’t yet answered your prayer, keep praying!

    Maybe you are praying to God and it seems to you that the answer isn’t going to come, maybe you feel like giving up on prayer, you think that prayer doesn’t work. I’ve spoken to people who were praying for a long time and started to disbelieve in the power of prayer as the answers were not immediate. The example of Canaanite woman shows us that it is wrong to think that there is no point in asking God for help. I would like to reassure you that your prayer is heard today! Even today there is magnificent power in prayer!
