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

    To do good work means doing what you can do. God never asks you to do something above your abilities. When God asks you to do something, He definitely gives you a supernatural power and capabilities. Do not think of what you cannot accomplish, better do what you can manage then God will lead you into your promised land.

    «Listen! Behold, a sower went out to sow. And it happened, as he sowed, that some seed fell by the wayside; and the birds of the air came and devoured it. Some fell on stony ground, where it did not have much earth; and immediately it sprang up because it had no depth of earth. But when the sun was up it was scorched, and because it had no root it withered away. And some seed fell among thorns; and the thorns grew up and choked it, and it yielded no crop. But other seed fell on good ground and yielded a crop that sprang up, increased and produced: some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some a hundred.» (Mark 4:3-8)

  • Why do people run away from being accountable?

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 3 minutes
    1. Fear of rejection. Many people are afraid of others rejecting or despising them when they find out all the truth. Biblical accountability is fulfilment of the law of Christ which tells us to express our care for the others in the spirit of humility: «Brethren, if a man is overtaken in any trespass, you who are spiritual restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness, considering yourself lest you also be tempted. Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ» (Galatians, 6:1-2).

  • The Importance of God’s will

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 5 minutes
    Today I would like to start talking about „The Importance of God’s will”. The Holy Scripture says: “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” (Mathew, 7: 21). The Bible calls every one of us to have sound mind, especially in learning the will of God for his or her life.«Therefore do not be unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is» (Ephesians, 5:18).Why is it so important to allocate some time for seeking out the will of God? Why is understanding of God’s will so necessary for a person? It is because the understanding of God’s will determine both our happiness here, on earth, and our status in the future, in eternity.
