Sacrifice as a measure of love! IV

ByPastor Rufus Ajiboye 2024-August-162016-July-20 Reading Time: 3 minutes

Greeting to you, dear friends! Grace to you and peace from God our Father and our Lord Jesus Christ! God is always good to us, because He has loved us with an everlasting love! For several days now we have been talking about the fact that the ability to sacrifice oneself is a reflection of our love. We looked at some moments in the life of Noah. Noah was a man who truly loved God, not only in words, but in deeds. Now demonstrated his love for God by standing out in his generation even though mocked and rejected by the people of his time. Noah demonstrated his love for God by keeping himself holy in a corrupt and pervert generation, he paid the price of obedient to God in everything because of his love for God. And, seeing the sacrifice of Noah, God did not overlook that, neither did He remains indebted to Noah. Noah and his entire family were given life and provision from God. Noah was a man whose heart was overflowing with love and gratitude towards God. Noah built an altar to God, and he praised Him there.I want to tell you that singing to God, praising Him, enjoying His presence is not a difficult task at all, if we will only take a moment to reflect or think of His grace. Even when you are having very hard times in life, you can still find something in your life that you can thank God for. Even when you think everything in your life is falling to pieces and your situation is the worst on earth, nevertheless, continue to believe – you simply have not encountered a situation that is worse than yours. But, when you see such a situation, you will find that you live in paradise.Find what you can be thankful for to God, and may the sacrifice of your gratefulness be every day on your lips. Find time to spend it with God. The man who loves God, will definitely find time for Him. The altar is necessary for offering a sacrifice. And the very first sacrifice of what we must offer God – it is our time. Remember, time is more precious than money, time – this is the most precious what we have! Time – it is life!

”Teach us to number our days aright, that we may gain a heart of wisdom!” (Psalms 90:12).

May God help us understand this truth, that without spending time with God, Who is the source of life and love – we will gradually die.

“Seek the LORD while he may be found; call on him while he is near!” (Isaiah 55:6).

Only God can give us wisdom and strength, so we could go through this life, therefore the time spent with Him, will not be spent in vain.

“He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.” (Isaiah 40:29-31).

With God!Until tomorrow!Pastor Rufus Ajiboye

Jesus came into this world that he might destroy the works of the devil and he might reveal God´s works

«He who sins is of the devil, for the devil has been sinning from the beginning. To this end the Son of God was revealed, that he might destroy the works of the devil.» (1st John 3:8).The devil inflicts pain, steals, murder and annihilate people, but God comes in Christ and manifests His power and mercy. In Christ God heals the sick, forgives sins, restores people lives, frees from curse and obsession by demons. A little later we will discuss the details about devil as a source of distress and sufferings people may have. Today I would like you to note that sins of other people also represent a source of pain and suffering.

The purpose of ministry is to draw people to God

When we serve people, we should be careful to see to it that all the good works we do, such as taking care of people, giving words of encouragement, gestures and deeds of love are all done for the purpose of drawing those people closer to Jesus and uniting them with Him, and not to glorify ourselves. You should understand that people’s problems will be solved only when they are united with God. If we really want to help people we should understand that nobody can do it better than our Creator.

«Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness! ’» (Matthew, 7:21-23).

You will be able to arm yourselves against the tsunamis of evil in these last days if you walk in the light of God’s Word and soberness of mind!

«Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons» (1 Timothy, 4:1).It is sad that people depart from the faith; their love grows cold; they get offended and leave God. (When our relationships with God start growing cold it is a sign of departure from the faith). I would want it to happen with any of you; I wish none of you fall because of the wicked winds of the last days.

God’s Word is spiritual food

God wants us to be strong and healthy not only physically, but also spiritually. We do not need ‘spiritual fasts’. We can have physical fasts in order to gain spiritual power. But in order to become spiritually strong, we should daily feed on the Word. If you do not do it, you get weaker as a believer; you get weaker in your judgments and in your faith.When we get weaker we must ‘eat’ spiritually; that is what God’s Word is there for: «…as newborn babes, desire the pure milk of the word, that you may grow thereby» (1 Peter, 2:2).
