Take care of the house of God, and then God will take care of your problems and lift you up!

Greetings to you, precious children of God, on the pages of „Daily Word for Spiritual Edification”! I hope and pray that these encounters encourage and inspire you.

During the past several days we have talked about how we can earn God’s promotion. Every one of us desires promotion whether we talk about it or not. And there is nothing wrong with it! But true promotion comes into a person’s life when he follows God’s principles.

God sends this word for a particular purpose – to exalt every one of His children because He loves everyone the same way. I hope God lifts us up to a new level spiritually and materially. But first, the truth must be recorded in our hearts. This truth needs to be established in us to keep and guard our hearts.

Pray and ask God to show you the situations where you have mistreated people and then repent. New opportunities and new doors can not be opened for us until we repent of our sins. If you have had a raw with a loved one, then your repentance will help you to restore your relationship. If you have rejoiced over someone’s failure, repent of it and then pray for this person.

This is a very serious matter. Many things we have talked about over the past few days are prophetic. My goal is not to impress you, but to communicate God’s message to you. Ask God to forgive you. Promise Him to be a doer of His Word; commit that you won’t rejoice over the failures of your enemies. Ask God to help your enemies so that they can come in touch with His will.

Help comes from God! The level we are on right now is not the limit of what God has intended for our life. He has prepared some heights for you. He has come to lift up, to heal, and to put together what has been broken. May success come into every area of your life! The promotion comes not because of your efforts, but because of God’s love. May God take away our shame!

May God’s Spirit helps us to take into consideration what we have heard and then our lives will change and we will experience exaltation. God will test you to see whether you are worthy of His exaltation at the moment or not. This is the time of your testing. Be careful! Do not get prideful! What God has planned to do is a lot more than you can see, and soon enough it will become obvious. It will be a visible success. It will be so much more than what you have today.

God always tests those He wants to exalt. Not long ago He gave me a very important word: «When we have a problem we go to Him. When He has a problem He comes to us. He also has problems from time to time. God has no flesh and it also is a problem. We are His flesh, and He has made His abode within us. And if you have not given your body over to Him, He has a problem. God tells us to take care of the things He needs to get done in His house, and when we do that He takes care of our things.»

Some of us won’t ever need to pray for our problems; all we need to do is take care of His problems. If you spend all your time thinking about your needs and wishes and forget about His, then don’t expect Him to solve your problems. Therein lays the test. God’s house will always be the testing ground for God’s people. Prophet Haggai says that since people were only concerned with their own problems and the house of God was in ruins, people weren’t successful in their lives.

«Then the word of the LORD came by Haggai the prophet, saying, “Is it time for you yourselves to dwell in your panelled houses, and this temple to lie in ruins?” (..)”You looked for much, but indeed it cam to little; and when you brought it home, I blew it away. Why?” says the LORD of hosts. “Because of My house that is in ruins, while every one of you runs to his own house» (Haggai, 1:3-4,9).

Take care of the house of God, and then God will take care of your problems and lift you up!

God bless you abundantly! Peace to you!

    Other people might be responsible for where you are in life, but nobody is responsible for your continuing to stay where you are. Until you stop finding fault and shifting blame, you will not rise up and take responsibility for your advancement in life. Here is what God want you to do from today on:Don’t blame the devil, resist him (James 4: 7); Don’t blame God, obey Him (Genesis 3: 12-13); Don’t blame your challenges and predicaments; fight your way through them by faith (Number chapter 12-14).

    I can’t forgive him.If that is your excuse, then listen to this: indeed you can’t forgive, but God can do that through you.If I forgive him, he will abuse me or think that I am in support of his his sin.Well, forgiveness from your side is not depended on whether the person is worthy of it or not, neither does it depend on the repentance of your offender nor his changed heart. The only reason why we forgive is because we have been forgiven by God’s grace.

    The story of Solomon is a lesson to all of us; it tells us that the meaning of life, happiness and satisfaction cannot be found anywhere but in God alone. So we need to develop and strengthen personal relationships with God.Today we will talk about how Solomon tried to find happiness and satisfaction in family life. «Life joyfully with the wife whom you love all the days of your vain life which He has given you under the sun, all your days of vanity; for that is your portion in life, and in the labor which you perform under the sun» (Ecclesiastes, 9:9).

  • You have been created, redeemed and restored! You were born twice!

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 5 minutes
    We are not only created by God, we are also reworked or recreated by Jesus Christ. We are talking about the opportunity available to sinful people because Christ has come into this world. This is exactly what the letter to Ephesians says:«You were made alive when you were dead in transgressions and sins, in which you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the powers of the air, the spirit who now works in the children of disobedience; among whom we also all once lived in the lust of our flesh, doing the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest. But God, being rich in mercy, for his great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead through our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), and raised us up with him, and made us to sit with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, that in the ages to come he might show the exceeding riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus; for by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, that no one would boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared before that we would walk in them.» (Ephesians 2:1-10).

  • Is anything too hard for the Lord?

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 4 minutes
    This question is so crucial because how we answer it will determine the measure of God’s involvment in our lives. This question helps us to realize that how much we know about God affects the level of our faith.When a person believes that there is nothing impossible for God, that person has a particular attitude towards life, a particular reaction to hardships, a particular spiritual attitude that appears when he or she runs into difficult problems that do not change for a long time.

  • God changing us through discipline

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 4 minutes
    I believe that discipline is one of God’s tools that help us to change and achieve effectiveness in our personal lives and ministry. Every one of us has a dream or a goal for our lives. But however good or grand these plans or desires are, discipline is a necessary prerequisite for these things to come to pass. Many ideas and desires never come true because people lack discipline.
