Sacrifice as a measure of love! V

ByPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 2 minutes
Greetings to you, dear friends! You are welcome to the our column of our „Daily Word for Spiritual Strength”!Our God is good, and He has given us the message of His love – the Word of God.I also thank God for the fact that we can draw strength and wisdom from this message today.We have been talking about the fact that a true love will always be connected with self-sacrifice.You cannot say you love until you sacrifice or do something for the object of your love.You cannot say you love and at the same time neglect spending time with the one whom you love. It is simply not possible! Time is our life. By spending time with the one whom you love, you are giving or sharing with them part of your life.In order to earn money, you need time; in order to spend money, you need time. If you have money but do not have time to spend it, this money will not bring you any blessings. If you lose the money, you can earn it back tomorrow. But if you lose time, you are not getting it back!Therefore, if you love God, you will find time for Him, and you will give Him the most precious thing you have – your time!David said,
“I will extol the LORD at all times; his praise will always be on my lips.” (Psalms 34:1)
Many people do not have time to come to the service; during the weekdays, they do not have time to think about God or meditate on His Word, they do not have time to open their Bible or pray. Many people are too busy to sacrifice their time for God!I want to throw a challange to you today: prove to God that you love Him. Yoour proof cannot be just in words such as, “Lord, I love You, I am a Christian, I am a member of a church, etc.” Let the proof of your love for God be display through your sacrifice, the effective use of your talents, to minister to other people and help them glorify God in their lives.May God bless you!Until tomorrow!Pastor Rufus Ajiboye

    The third type of believers is servants. Servants are the ones that are on the giving end. It is more blessed to give than it is to receive. We all like to receive, but if we want to be truly blessed we need to look for opportunities to give.Jesus said that the rivers of living water will flow out of those who believe in Him:«”He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.” But this He spoke concerning the Spirit, whom those believing in Him would receive; for the Holy Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified» (John, 7:38-39 ).

    As a base we will use a passage from Mark chapter 4, where Jesus Himself was speaking in parables. In this chapter there are three parables, through which Jesus explains the power and the potential hidden in a small seed. First I would like to simply recount these parables, but later we will look at each of them in more detail. The first parable that Jesus talked about is the parable of the sower. This parable shows that there is a whole list of obstacles that make it difficult for seeds to grow and bear fruit. In this parable, Jesus went ahead to show us three types of obstacles which can impede the growth of the seeds that we sow. (Mark 4:3-20)

  • Value God’s Word! IV

    Today I would like to continue talking about the importance of God’s Word.We saw what God spoke through Moses that God’s Word is our life. We also talked about the fact that our attitude towards the Word can either prolong our life or shorten it. We have already seen in the parables of Jesus that our attitude towards God’s Word determines the strength of our foundation, our life and all the things we are building. Yesterday we also talked about the fact that God’s Word is able to change our disappointments into joy, bankruptcy – into abundance. We saw all of it in the life of Peter. I would like for us to look at the verses that talk about Peter when he was utterly failing and ready to give up.

    Whoever loves God serves people. The one who serves people is blessed and exalted by God. Ministry is a sacrifice. When you serve, you give what is yours – time, money, energy, sleep, food etc. God loves generous hearts, and He can’t pass by this type of people.Do you know why God blessed Abraham? It was because Abraham was a generous man. He was ready to give anything to God. Abraham left his family in obedience to God; he yielded to his nephew and allowed him to choose a place of lodging first. Abraham gave tithe to God at the time when no such law existed. He did not refuse to sacrifice to God his own son. For this reason God blessed him.
