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

    We must keep God’s call to change right before our eyes as one of the most important goals. As soon as we come to God and enter His Kingdom, the desire to change and grow into the likeness of Jesus should be our single desire and our daily bread. And when we start changing, the things around us will change along with the inward changes we experience. Then the most awful situation will change for better and terrible problems will be solved. All of this will happen along with the transformation of our character in the process of the spiritual growth.

    We will continue about Solomon’s search for happiness, satisfaction and the meaning of life. We have already discussed that in the beginning of his life Solomon sought God and loved him, and God gave him wisdom and riches, happiness and fulfilment in life. But Solomon got caught up with superficial things of this world and started to follow other gods. Solomon started seeking for happiness and satisfaction in things and activities. He found only disappointment in them and then he turned back to his beginning.The story of Solomon is a lesson to all of us; it tells us that the meaning of life, happiness and satisfaction cannot be found anywhere but in God alone. So we need to develop and strengthen personal relationships with God.

    If we have seed and sow it in good ground, then we will definitely see a harvest. Seed will grow. Sown seed first gives blade, then head and then grain in the head. Multiplication and growth always imply process. It is unavoidable if we want to receive harvest. We just have to do our part. First, that we have to understand in order to receive harvest is that we need some seed. The truth is that we already have seed. If you want to see multiplication in some area of your life you should know that you already have seed from God.

  • The Importance of God’s will

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 5 minutes
    Today I would like to start talking about „The Importance of God’s will”. The Holy Scripture says: “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven” (Mathew, 7: 21). The Bible calls every one of us to have sound mind, especially in learning the will of God for his or her life.«Therefore do not be unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is» (Ephesians, 5:18).Why is it so important to allocate some time for seeking out the will of God? Why is understanding of God’s will so necessary for a person? It is because the understanding of God’s will determine both our happiness here, on earth, and our status in the future, in eternity.
