The importance of our faithfulness to God

ByPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 4 minutes
I greet you in the name of Jesus Christ and pray that mercy and grace of the Lord be multiplied unto you this day.We talked about God’s desire for us to be those that expand His Kingdom on this earth. God is very serious about fulfillment of His will on earth as it is in heaven, about establishment of His Kingdom here, on the earth. We also talked about the fact that if we want to take part in spreading God’s Kingdom we must take the position of overcomers in Christ. Yesterday we shortly examined some instruments that we can use to walk in victory over our enemies. We named three things: the power of the blood of Christ, the power of our testimony and the commitment to God.Today I would like to discuss the importance of our faithfulness to God. Let’s turn to the Word of God:
«The ten horns which you saw are ten kings who have received no kingdom as yet, but they receive authority for one hour as kings with the beast. These are of one mind, and they will give their power and authority to the beast. These will make war with the Lamb, and he Lamb will overcome them, for He is Lord of lords and King of kings; and those who are with Him are called, chosen, and faithful» (Revelation, 17:12-14).
This passage has a very deep meaning. The process of spreading God’s Kingdom gets us involved in a cruel war. The enemy mobilizes powerful and united army to cast down the influence of God’s Kingdom in all the areas of society. Satanic army will make war with the Lamb by fighting His Body – the Church. The enemy will fight the believers, committed disciples of Jesus Christ.This war is already going on, and you and I are in the very middle of the fights. We can feel it in our lives and in our country. But I will not like you to just think about the war, think rather about the end results of the war. In his spirit John saw the results of the war; – the Lamb overcame the army of the enemy. Jesus is King of kings and Lord of lords, and as such He will never lose! I think none of us have any doubts or questions about His victory.But you should really see that His victory is not only based on Him being the King and the Lord, but also on the faithfulness of the people with Him. Together with His faithful saints, the Lamb has the victory.
«.. and those who are with Him are called, chosen, and faithful» (Revelation, 17:14).
In order to join the army of victors in Christ Jesus, it is important for us to be qualified in these three areas: in your calling, in been a chosen vessel and in faithfulness. Tomorrow we will talk about it in detail, but today I’d like you to see that the war is inescapable; but in this war God counts on His called, chosen and faithful people.Are you going to be a part of God’s army who is involved in the war in which the victory of the Lamb is already guaranteed? Are you going to take part in the victory of the Lord so that His Kingdom can penetrate all the spheres of our society?Make a firm decision today to be a part of God’s army. Realize that we already have the victory and that is the position we fight from.Until tomorrow!Be blessed!Pastor Rufus Ajiboye

    Many people ask themselves a question of why they feel inner emptiness. So many continue to walk the wrong way in their lives, and it goes on day after day. They feel their life to be aimless and they continue their walk unmotivated. Multitudes of people do not have a clue of why they live and whether the life is worth living. All of these things happen because they do not have a clear purpose for living. The lack of such a purpose often causes violence, different types of evil, disappointments, emptiness, despair, hopelessness, apathy, anger and so on.
