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 talked about Hannah who did not give up even though she was barren and was being humiliated by other people; she kept on believing God and trusting that He would send her a miracle into her life and give her a baby. She did not plunge into despair and sense of helplessness, but daily brought her needs before God in fervent prayer.

    Prayer is meaningful time with God.I will explain what I mean by that. Quite often I use the word ‘time’. Prayer is one of the means of organizing and managing the time we have been given. What is the topic of our prayers is a very interesting question. We all talk about it. There are so many books written on prayer. But who is the person who prays truly effectively? This is a very serious question. God desires us to arrange our lives for effective prayer; it will take our ministry and our whole life to a much higher level.

  • What is compassion?

    We must understand that Jesus’ disciples were not perfect; quite the opposite, they are ordinary people with „character issues”. Jesus did not wait until they become perfect, but sent them out to serve people. He did not have anybody else to send; so He worked with what He had. And He is calling us to do the same today; it applies to every one who considers himself to be His disciple. Jesus desires for God’s children to be filled with compassion and to help people allowing God to touch all the people around them with His love.If we see someone perishing physically because of some illness, we do everything to save him. We often do not realize that unsaved people are spiritually ill, that they are perishing and need salvation. We must do everything in our power to save them. So our hearts need to go out to them with love and compassion.

    To call upon God – it means to have a stable prayer life. God desires you to have consistent and stable prayer life. You have to have a place where you call upon Him.«But you, when you pray, go into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly» (Mathew, 6:6).

  • God doesn’t want us to give up!

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 6 minutes
    Nowadays many people give up as soon as something does not go like they expected or some problems start to choke them. I will tell you honestly that it is not hard to go through different problems with dignity, – you must learn it. It does not happen automatically; you must prepare yourself for it. If we won’t prepare ourselves ahead of time, then at difficult times we will fail and give up. Lack of discipline and preparation will create instability in our lives and will hinder our progress.
