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!

  • What is actually the difference between resurrected life and having life abundantly?

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 3 minutes
    Having repented your sins you are granted resurrected life, while life abundant is still hidden in God. You need the life abundant here, on this Earth. However, to have such life here on Earth we have to learn how to bring our heavenly possession on Earth. We have to have victorious life no matter what we do. Time we spend in fellowship with God is time when our resurrected life is being converted into life abundant.

    When that happens, you will experience tremendous freedom!Freedom comes when we walk in the light; it is not just how long we pray. When we do the right things that are based on God’s Word, the Son of God sets us free and we are free indeed:«Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, “If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free» (John, 8:31-32).

    It is impossible to establish God’s Kingdom in our hearts, our lives, our families and all the spheres of our influence without putting forth particular effort. In order for God’s Kingdom to grow we will need to fight and to engage in warfare. So if you have made a decision to have part in expansion of God’s Kingdom in this earth, you can not be a passive observer. Only active people that have taken a position of overcomers in Christ are able to establish the Kingdom in their lives and around them.

  • What sin means?

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 4 minutes
    When a person does not submit to God’s Word and despises His instructions, he or she sins. God has particular plan or will for every area of person’s life and it is spelled out in the Bible. But when you life according to your own wishes and do not pay attention to what God says about it, then tragedies are inevitable. For some time it may seem that you have outsmarted God, but this deceptive feeling won’t last long. These people sat in darkens and the shadow of death; they were bound in grief because they did not submit to God’s Word and despised His will.«Fools, because of their transgression, and because of their iniquities, were afflicted. Their souls abhorred all manner of food, and they drew near to the gates of death» (Psalm, 107:17-18).

  • Without God I cannot, but with Him I can do all!

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 4 minutes
    We can not do the works of God without God. Very often in our own strength, we try to do what God requires us to do with Him. Often we rely on ourselves and on things we already know. Often we rely on our experience. But when the prayer is our priority we understand that when relying on ourselves and doing the job without prayer, we are wasting time and energy. Without a strong prayer movement in the church, the church vision cannot be accomplished. It´s just not possible!
