The evangelism and discipleship II

ByPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 2 minutes

It is so good to meet with you, precious children of God, on the pages of „Daily Word for Spiritual Edification”. I believe that these encounters inspire and encourage you.

Today I would like us to turn to Lamentations of Jeremiah.

«Arise, cry out in the night, at the beginning of the watches; pour out your heart like water before the face of the Lord. Lift your hands toward Him for the life of your young children, who faint from hunger at the head of every street» (Lamentations, 2:19).

This is not a routine call to ordinary prayer, but a call to cry out to God to send a revival and deliver our children and the next generation from inevitable disasters and tragedies. Every serious revival has started with people’s heartfelt cry directed to God. So if we want to see a revived generation in our land, if we want to see godly children and youth, if we want to leave true spiritual legacy to the next generations, we must know that God desires us to do what this passage of Scripture tells us. If you want to see a real move of God in your life, your family and your church, then it is very important to ponder upon this verse. There is a parallel verse in 2 Chronicles (7:14); it talks about God’s desire to send us a revival. Revival will not come without our participation. In order for us to see an awakening and the works of God’s mighty hand in our lives and the lives of our children, we must not ignore these guidelines to revival that God gives us.

«..if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land» (2 Chronicles, 7:14).

This verse calls us to humble ourselves before God, to pray and seek His face so that we can turn from our wicked ways, and then God promises to send us a revival. Then He will send us healing – from crisis, tragedies, horrors that nowadays we see around us. Let’s search out our hearts and follow the advice God gives us today.

Be blessed!

    Fear paralyzes and limits a person, takes away his strength and courage for going forward; it does not allow person’s talents and gifts to come out on the surface. Fear steals person’s faith in God. A wicked heart makes a person selfish and stains his motives. Such a person is alienated from the true understanding of responsibility for his words and actions. He lives according to the principle “I do not owe a thing to anybody; everybody owes me!»

  • Worthy Goal for Life

    Every person has a goal, whether he talks about it or not. He is driven to do something. But if we talk about goals, it is important to determinewhether it is WORTHY or UNWORTHY. Paul had a worthy goal and talked about it all the time:«…according to my earnest expectation and hope that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but with all boldness, as always, so now also Christ will be magnified in my body, whether by life or by death. For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain. But if I live on in the flesh, this will mean fruit from my labor; yet what I shall choose I cannot tell. For I am hard-pressed between the two, having a desire to depart and be with Christ, which is far better. Nevertheless to remain in the flesh is more needful for you.

  • Sin is the root of the evil

    «He who sins is of the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil» (1 John, 3:8).The devil deceived Adam and Eve who were reflecting the glory of God in the earth, because he hated God and all the things that brought glory to God. Adam and Eve were given a free will and a right to choose and they decided to disobey God and submit to the voice of the devil. That is how sin entered their life and the life of all of the generations after them. They gave themselves and their posterity into the hands of death. And since that time death has begun its reign over people.

  • If you desire to experience God´s power and His mercy in your life, make fellowship and love to God priorities for your life!

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 5 minutes
    Yesterday we spoke about how we can experience God´s power and mercy in our life. It fully depends on how deep we dedicate ourselves to Him. Once we realise we are not living for ourselves but for One who died for us, we discover the source of the unlimited power and mercy of God.However, submission to God doesn´t mean doing everything that comes to your mind. Contrariwise, it makes us responsible for getting to know what God bears in His heart regarding His will to our life. For this reason you have to submit yourself in whole to the Lord in order to have fellowship with Him as a source of inspiration, freshness and guidance. Everybody who experienced His power in his life and became a tool of His mercy constantly submitted himself to the Lord.
