The voice of God is the source of the spirit of faith

ByPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 3 minutes
 Greetings! I am so glad for the opportunity to address every one of you reading this word with a message that will encourage and uplift you. We are continuing to talk about the advantages of being led by the Holy Spirit and hearing God’s voice. Let’s turn to the Holy Scripture. 
«So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God» (Romans, 10:17).
 Earlier we talked about two Greek words that are translated as „word” in the Bible: one of them is LOGOS, and the other – RHEMA or RHEMATOS. As we have already said, LOGOS is the written Word of God, but RHEMA – the voice of God that speaks to a people individually that addresses definite situations or circumstances that they go through. In other words, RHEMA is God’s word to you amidst of your trials and life battles. RHEMA is when God speaks to you personally through His Word. When we hear a rhema word it is though the letters and words from the Scripture jump right into your heart and become for you a real source of life, encouragement and solution to your problems. That’s what rhema is! When you receive rhemaword from God, you live by what you have heard. God continues to speak to us through His Word and His Spirit. The voice of God is the source of the spirit of faith. 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 SPIRIT OF FAITH 
«And since we have the same spirit of faith, according to what is written, „I believed and therefore I spoke,” we also believe and therefore speak» (2 Corinthians, 4:13).
 The commandments of the Lord are not the same thing as the voice of God. The Lord’s commandments is what differentiate LOGOS from RHEMA. The Lord’s commandments are LOGOS, while the voice of God is RHEMA: 
 «Now it shall come to pass, if you diligently obey the voice of the LORD your God, to observe carefully all His commandments which I command you today, that the LORD your God will set you high above all nations of the earth» (Deuteronomy, 28:1).
 When you hear God’s voice it makes you stronger and cleanses your life of all confusion and chaos. When you hear the voice of the Lord it awakens in you the spirit of faith and takes you up into God’s dimension and His frequency where everything is subject to your command. So the level of our faith depends on our ability to hear God’s voice. Faith is God’s gift that comes to us through the hearing of the word of revelation. Tomorrow we will continue to talk about the benefits and privileges that fill the life of every person who has learned to hear God’s voice and follow His instructions. God bless you! Pastor Rufus Ajiboye

    As a base we will use a passage from Mark chapter 4, where Jesus Himself was speaking in parables. In this chapter there are three parables, through which Jesus explains the power and the potential hidden in a small seed. First I would like to simply recount these parables, but later we will look at each of them in more detail. The first parable that Jesus talked about is the parable of the sower. This parable shows that there is a whole list of obstacles that make it difficult for seeds to grow and bear fruit. In this parable, Jesus went ahead to show us three types of obstacles which can impede the growth of the seeds that we sow. (Mark 4:3-20)

    «All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations…» (Mathew, 28:18-19).Jesus told us to walk through this life, being armed with the understanding that all God’s authority is behind us. The will of God for us contains prosperity, health, salvation (both for us personally and for our families), peace and harmony; the will of God is for all people to come to salvation and knowledge of truth. But too often we see discrepancies in many areas of our life. Those areas where the will of God is not fulfilled are actually ruled by the devil; somehow we have given him a place and control over these areas.

    Ministry and giving determines the measure of one’s spiritual growth and maturity. It also determines how much I bear a resemblance to Jesus Christ. God wants us to grow spiritually. One of the indications of one’s spiritual growth is how he or she fulfils the needs of others. Such a person not only takes and receives, but also gives. Giving and ministry is one and the same word that determines how much of resemblance to Jesus Christ I bear.It says in the Bible that Jesus came to this earth to serve and not to be served. He is the example of a minister. Many of us want others to serve us. God says that we should minister and serve others. He wants us to be like Jesus.

    We have been talking about God’s presence in our lives. As we have discussed, God’s presence makes all the difference in our lives. It makes us strong. It makes us wise. We can experience God’s presence through fervent praying, through cleansing and purifying of our hearts, though brokenness and humility before God, and through holy and godly living.Moses made prayer a priority in order to secure God’s presence in his life and ministry; for this reason he set up a special tent where all the seekers of God were invited to come.

    “Therefore lay aside all filthiness and overflow of wickedness, and receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls” (James, 1:21).This is a very profound verse of Scripture that must be considered and closely examined. But I would like to draw your attention to several points. Here the Bible talks about the implanted Word which saves our souls. It resembles the process of engrafting a branch of tree into another tree, after which these trees become one, since they have the same root system. The implanted Word must be one with me. God wants His Word to be planted in my heart so that the Word and I become one because it is only then will the word be able save my soul.
