Value God’s Word! II

ByPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 3 minutes
May the peace and grace of the Lord be multiplied to you today, dear friends!I would like to continue talking about yesterday’s theme, which is the importance of God’s Word and its role in our lives. Let us look at some of Jesus’ parables that reveal to us the significance of God’s Word.
«Therefore whoever hears these saying of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise  man who built his house on the rock: and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock. But everyone who hears these saying of Mine, and does not do them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand: and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on the house; and it fell. And great was its fall» (Mathew, 7:24-27).
This Scripture tells us how important it is to relate correctly to the Word of God. Yesterday God spoke to us through Moses that God’s Word is our life and that if we rightly relate to the Word we will live a long life. Sustainability of any building depends on the strenghth of its foundation.Today God is telling us that the foundation of our life, relationships, undertakings and all the things we are trying to build in this life depends largely on the proportion of God’s Word at the base of whatever we are building and on our obedience to the word of God. Jesus said that only those who hears and does God’s Word can be called wise.Dear friends, how much do you value the Word of God? How much time do you spend reading the Word and digging deep into it? how much time do you spend meditating on God’s Word,listening to it, studying it or memorizing it by heart? The foundation of your life will only be as strong as serious your attitude towards the word of God is. Your ability to withstand the floods, the hardships and the troubles of this life depends on this as well. I must point out that different adverse circumstances and situation occur in a person’s life whether he loves the Word or not. Negative things happen to all people – to those who love God and to those that do not. All those things occur because of the fall of man; that is the reason of all tragedies, troubles and hardships. But those have the Word of God hidden in their hearts have a strong foundation and when it rains or floods or any other negative things come against them they do not fall; these things come and go, but the house or the life of such people still stands because it is built on God’s Word.My prayer for you today is that your house will not fall when different troubles come; may it stand firm through all of them. In order for that to happen do not forget to relate with right attitude towards God’s Word, to receive it and to build your life on it.Be blessed! Till tomorrow! Pastor Rufus Ajiboye

  • Worthy Goal for Life

    Every person has a goal, whether he talks about it or not. He is driven to do something. But if we talk about goals, it is important to determinewhether it is WORTHY or UNWORTHY. Paul had a worthy goal and talked about it all the time:«…according to my earnest expectation and hope that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but with all boldness, as always, so now also Christ will be magnified in my body, whether by life or by death. For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain. But if I live on in the flesh, this will mean fruit from my labor; yet what I shall choose I cannot tell. For I am hard-pressed between the two, having a desire to depart and be with Christ, which is far better. Nevertheless to remain in the flesh is more needful for you.

    Jesus didn´t come into this world to die on the cross so that people become religious and indifferent to God. Contrariwise, Jesus came to fill the Earth with His glory just like rivers fill the seas. Jesus set an example of what we have to do. Wherever Jesus showed up He stirred the place! Everywhere He showed up people responded to His visit both positively and negatively. Some of them said: “Watch the Messiah, He is the answer, He is the son of God!” while the others stated: “He is obsessed by demons, He is a sinner, blasphemer, He is dangerous, so He must die”.

  • Forget not all His benefits!

    Many of us do not thank God as we ought to, because we do not purposely keep in mind what God has done or is doing for us. We forget because we do not write it down. When I was a teenager, we often sang a song that said: «Count your blessings! Name every one of them, one after another, and you will be amazed at what the Lord has done!» I advise every one of you to record every miracle and every blessing that God does in our lives. You can use different methods: either modern technologies or simple writing.

    What does fruitfulness depend on? On the level of understanding of the mysteries of God’s Kingdom. As we mentioned, if a person listens to the Word of God but does not understand it, then Satan comes and steals the Word. Those who understand the Word bring forth fruit – thirtyfold, sixtyfold and hundredfold.That is why the first requirement for being fruitful in His kingdom is an understanding of the mysteries of God’s Kingdom. Today I would like you to see to whom God reveals the mysteries of His Kingdom.
