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

    There are two options for the future. First option is what I call the predictable future. We must carefully look at our past and present. When thinking of the future we must realize that if we don’t change the things we do every day then it will be easy to predict our future, – the future won’t be any different than the present. If we do not make any changes today, then tomorrow we will have the same results; we will live in the same conditions, if not worse.

    God has created each of you for a certain purpose. God has a common purpose and a personal (individual) purpose for each of us. Our common goal is to glorify the Lord. However, God also has a peculiar purpose He has created every individual to fulfill. I was sent to the Earth to solve certain problems. If you are driven by such awareness you will live a strategical life. Each of you has a certain goal and a purpose set by God.

    “The Lord appeared to Abraham near the great trees of Mamre while he was sitting at the entrance of his tent in the heat of the day. Abraham looked up and saw three men standing nearby. When he saw them, he hurried from the entrance of his tent to meet them and bowed low to the ground. He said, “If I have found favour in your eyes, my lord, do not pass your servant by. Let a little water be brought and then you may all wash your feet and rest under this tree. Let me get you something to eat, so you can be refreshed and then go on your way – now that you have come to your servant.” “Very well,” they answered, “do as you say.” “Where is your wife Sarah?” they asked him. “There in the tent,” he said. Then the Lord said, “I will surely return to you about this time next year, and Sarah your wife will have a son.” Now Sarah was listening at the entrance to the tent, which was behind him.”

  • How do we make sure that the Word of God abides in us? II

    When I hear the preaching of God’s Word, God speaks to me through someone else. When I read the Word, God speaks to me directly. There are things He wants to speak to me personally, without mediators. God wants me to fellowship with Him so that He can teach me. When you hear the word through the other preaching of people, you can hear things that you do not fully understand or you might even say you do not agree with some things. However, when you fellowship with God through the reading of His Word and God reveals some things to you, you cannot say it is someone else’s opinion.
