ByPastor Rufus Ajiboye 2024-July-182016-June-20 Reading Time: 3 minutes

Dear friends, welcome to the „Daily Word for Spiritual Edification». I trust that this word that contains God’s wisdom will strengthen you and lift up your spirit.We have been talking about the lordship of Jesus and about what it means for us in our daily life. Yesterday we saw that the lordship of Jesus implies His rule over everything and everybody. We also saw that the Lord desires to exercise His lordship on this earth through His Body which is the Church.The Bible says that we live in the midst of enemies.

«The LORD said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand, till I make Your enemies Your footstool.” The LORD shall send the rod of Your strength out of Zion. Rule in the midst of Your enemies» (Psalm 110:1-2).

This passage talks about Christ: «Rule in the midst of Your enemies», but the Body of Christ — His Church — is included in this prophetic word. Jesus was told to sit at the right hand of God; but it would be God’s children that would overcome God’s enemies and every thing that rise against the will of God. God wants us to rule and reign in the midst of the enemies and unfavourable circumstances. We must rule because we have been given God’s authority and we were born conquerors.

«For whatever is born of God overcomes the world…» (1 John, 5:4).

We must be the one overcoming and not the one to be overcome! God is not afraid of anything, because He rules and reigns over everything. God is the Ruler! He wants us to express our faith and authority as rulers on this earth.God wants every one of us to live above the circumstances and not ‘under the circumstances’. God desires us to exercise authority and rule of Jesus over all things and circumstances and to subdue all things that rise against the will of God in our lives and on this earth.

«For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ» (2 Corinthians, 10: 3-5).

God has already given us authority on this earth. Do not forget that

“whatever is born of God overcomes the world» (1 John, 5:4).

God bless you!Till tomorrow!Pastor Rufus Ajiboye

There are two dimensions of faith:THE WORD OF FAITH«But the righteousness of faith speaks in this way, “Do not say in your heart, ‘Who will ascend into heaven?’” (that is, to bring Christ down from above) or “’Who will descend into the abyss?’” (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead). But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith which we preach)» (Romans, 10: 6-8)

The philosophy of change
AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye 2025-April-252015-March-29 Reading Time: 4 minutes
It is quite often that we oppose changes; we resist any changes because we are creatures of habit. If something is new and unusual for us, we don’t like it. Is that the truth? Whatever is unusual to us scares us. We love the comforts of life and if something upsets our comfortable position, we start to fight it with all of our strength.Nevertheless God calls every person to go through changes.

Who was Paul? He is the greatest apostle ever, one who wrote 2/3 of the New Testament. He had access to the revelations like nobody else. He got to know God more than any other apostles.«Regard the patience of our Lord as salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also, according to the wisdom given to him, wrote to you».

When you live in obedience to His Word, God protects you from sorrows and tragedies that fill this world nowadays

Today I would like to point out a very important truth: if you are obedient to God in your actions and in your life in general, then the very same thing that destroys others will lift you up. In the Scripture above we can see that the same waters, which destroyed the world by flooding it, raised Noah’s ark that he had built according to the Word of God. The very same waters destroyed some people and lifted up somebody else – Noah. To the faithful Noah, flood waters brought salvation.
