Sacrifice as a measure of love! IV

ByPastor Rufus Ajiboye 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

  • Organization of effective prayer life II

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 4 minutes
    Prayer is spiritual effort.Prayer has nothing to do with our intellectual abilities. It has everything to do with our spirit, so it is spiritual labour. Prayer is the spirit of man appealing to God Who also is Spirit. God is Spirit and a man is spirit, so effective prayer is communication and fellowship of human spirit with the Spirit of God. Prayer is spiritual aspiration for God. Of course, our mind has its part in prayer, but if prayer only stays in the realm of mind, but the spirit does not connect with God, then it is not prayer at all. Every time I have touched God in prayer, my spirit knows it has connected with God and I know I have communicated with God.

  • Faith is obedience to the Lord!

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 4 minutes
    Are you willing to experience God and His power in your life? If so, trust God and express it via your obedience to Him. The Bible says that without faith you can´t please the Lord. If you don´t please God you cannot experience His presence nor power neither. When God reveals you something He is going to accomplish, you have to follow his invitation without hesitation. It proves your devotion and your desire to listen to His voice. Meanwhile, disobedience turns your heart to stone and shuts our ears to God´s voice. Faith is acting in accordance to the word of God. Quite often God calls us to do impossible things, those only God Himself can accomplish.

  • Everything that gets into God’s hands multiplies

    For several days now we have been discussing the how the gift when it is used makes room for us and takes us before great people. When the gift is used it broadens our possibilities and destroys limitations. Thank God for creating us just the way we are.Dear friend, you have been given the things you need to start your supernatural ministry. Do not view your gift as being something small and insignificant. When Jesus told His disciples to feed the multitude, they argued with Him, saying: “We have here only five loaves and two fish”. I guess the disciples expected Jesus to say: «Oh, yes! Then let the people go, because we don’t have enough for everyone!» But Jesus did not say that. He managed to feel the multitude of people because one little boy gave back to the Lord the little he had.

    Nevertheless, there are four possible God´s answers to the right prayer said by the right person.First answer – we pray and receive an immediate answer. It works this way in the life of newly born Christians, but not only. Also Peter received an immediate answer to his prayer. He called to the Lord for help when he started to drown, and the answer came immediately – Jesus stretched His hand to save Peter´s life.
