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!

    Why does Satan hate it and is afraid of the prayers of the children of God? This is because in a prayer, we and God become a team – an invincible team. In the Book of Daniel, there is a description of an event when a certain group of people prompted the king to issue a law prohibiting contact in a prayer with the living God. Except for the living God, they were allowed to pray any other gods. They were allowed to ask for help to people, but not only living God. And it was Satan´s plan. Why does Satan put these obstacles? Because he realized that the prayer is power.

    “The righteous cry out, and the LORD hears, and delivers them out of all their troubles”(Psalm 34:17). God hears you when you cry out to Him and not when you sink in our despair and misery, when you grumble and ‘have pity parties’. There is a cry of faith, which God always hears, because He finds a call for help and intervention in it. In this prayer cry God sees faith in Righteous, Just, Loving and Almighty God.

    Today many people mostly emphasize different manifestations, anointing, gifts, talents and personal development. All of these things are important. But if we neglect the development of God’s character in us and do not make it a priority, if we forget to draw near to God and fellowship with Him, then we are doing not the will of God, but instead carrying out our own will. And as a result we are not able to bring glory to God.

  • The power and importance of forgiveness

    We are going to have a look at the two sides of forgiveness.Forgiveness is something, life on Earth would turn into the sufferings of hell without. Every human faces the question of forgiveness time to time. We like the word “forgiveness” when we receive it, but what about when we have to forgive somebody, give something away from yourself? Quite often we are not willing to do so. Though, the true understanding of forgiveness obliges us to notice two sides of forgiveness. Let’s have a look at the verses from Scripture that help us to see them.

  • Organization of effective prayer life II

    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.

    What does fruitfulness depend on? On the level of understanding of the mysteries of God’s Kingdom. As we mentioned, if a person listens to the Word of God but does not understand it, then Satan comes and steals the Word. Those who understand the Word bring forth fruit – thirtyfold, sixtyfold and hundredfold.That is why the first requirement for being fruitful in His kingdom is an understanding of the mysteries of God’s Kingdom. Today I would like you to see to whom God reveals the mysteries of His Kingdom.
