The implanted Word of God changes an individual: his reactions, emotions, behaviour II

ByPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 4 minutes
Welcome, dear readers, to our „Daily Word for Spiritual Edification»!I believe the Word of God is able to change and transform the life of every person that makes a decision to live in accordance to the Word! The Word of God that is alive and active can do things that no one can do. No human being can heal the spirit, the soul or the body, but God’s Word can. Nobody can save the life of a person from grave, but God’s Word can!
«He sent His word and healed them, and delivered them from their destruction» (Psalm, 107:20).
God’s Word is able to radically change your life. And it is wonderful! We can’t even imagine and fully grasp what a tremendous power is contained in God’s Word! It does not matter what circumstances surround you today and what people are saying or doing against you. It often happens that the closest people hurt us and it affects us deeply. For example, if you are married to a person that wastes all the money on drinking or gambling, you are affected by it, and it is a very sad situation. Or, you are working very hard but you are not paid at all or you are underpaid. Different unpleasant situations can happen to us, but I want to tell you that all of them can change. The important truth is that changes start from within – within me and within you. Let’s begin our search to the solution of our problems from ourselves.
  1. Take charge of your destiny.
  2. Realize that it starts with you. Don’t ever get involved in ‘the blame game’! It is not wise. Do not blame other people; when you do, you give the authority over your life to them. Be careful with your words because life and death is in the power of your tongue. Things that you say become the law for you.
  3. Believe that your situation and your circumstances can change.
Negative situations and difficult circumstances changed for Joseph, David, Daniel, Joshua, Caleb and many other Bibles characters, because they kept the Word of God hidden in their hearts. So, you need to keep the Word in your heart, not just read it. The Word heals us! God works from inside out; in most cases people do not notice it, they think that everything is staying the same. But in reality a very important work is going on inside of them. It is similar to the building of a house. When the construction work begins, they place fences around the site. Afterwards it might seem that nothing changes. Time goes by, and we get the impression that something is going on, but not much, since we can’t really see anything. But the truth is that the foundation is being laid. When it is finished, the building itself seemingly goes up in days. Why is it? Because the most important work happens on the bottom, when the foundation is laid, – and this work seems to us long and subtle.If you will open your heart to the Word of God and will practise it, then you can be sure that God will do a serious work inside of you. Do not let Satan deceive you saying that nothing is changing in your life; that your efforts like going to church, reading the Bible, praying and so on have been futile. It is a pure lie.If you do all of this, then know that God is working inside of you. And when this inner work of laying the foundation will be over, the outward things will appear and rise very quickly. What seemed impossible will start happening so fast that you won’t be able to follow it up or keep a record of it fast enough. Most importantly, do not abort this inner work God is doing inside of you. If you want some ‘quick-fix changes’ without serious foundational work, then this outward things will erode quickly, because your ‘building’ will be without a solid foundation.Tomorrow we will finish talking about this topic.God bless you!Pastor Rufus Ajiboye

He was a man of God, similarly to David, one, whose attitude to prayer and fellowship with God was very serious.

    “ And he said unto them, The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath: 28 Therefore the Son of man is Lord also of the Sabbath”In this short statement of Jesus Christ there a very important lesson is hidden for us. God is saying here that the sabbath was made for manand not man for the sabbath.In life it is often possible to observe such a picture where by those things over which man is meant to dominate, are dominating over him instead. This distortion of the order established by God often result in many tragic problems in people’s life today.

  • Put to death therefore your members which are on the earth

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 4 minutes
    “Put to death your body”- means letting the resurrected life that dwells in you spring its roots. By feeding our old sinful nature we strengthen it and as a result of this the sinful nature prevails the resurrected life inside us. In opposite, when thinking about things that are above ans seeking those things we enable ourselves to celebrate a victory over sin and the old nature.Quite often, when somebody hears that he has to put his body to death he says to himself: “I can´t do it!” This is the voice of your old nature. Though, let me share the good news with you – the Bible says, when Christ reveals Himself so will you in His glory, and your new life will be transformed into abundant life. If we have fellowship with God, seek things that are above and reason about Him, then Christ will definitely reveal Himself in our life.

  • I desire mercy and not sacrifice

    «As Jesus passed on from there, He saw a man named Matthew sitting at the tax office. And He said to him, „Follow Me.” So he arose and followed Him. Now it happened as Jesus sat at the table in the house, that behold, many tax collectors and sinners came and sat down with Him and His disciples. And when the Pharisees saw it, they said to His disciples, „Why does your Teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?” When Jesus heard that, He said to them, „Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. But go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy and not sacrifice.’ For I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance» (Mathew, 9:9-13).

  • Prayer must be my first priority

    Today I would like to talk more about the third point. I finished saying that prayer is more about what God wants to tell you and what He wants to do in your life and not what you want to tell Him. So you do not need to tell God what is on your heart; allow God to work through His Word giving Him opportunity to work in your heart and reveal to you His plans. If you want to hear God, you cannot be in a hurry. Effective prayer has nothing to do with haste.
