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

Forgiveness gives us strength to walk through the stages of our life.& «Therefore let us also, seeing we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, lay aside every weight and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.».

  • Prayer is submitting to the will of God

    When we pray we place ourselves in submission to God’s will for our lives. The very fact that you come to God in prayer is the proof of your submission to God.The Bible tells us to pray always; it is the command of the Lord. That is why when I come to God in prayer then the very act of praying places me in the position of submission to this command. In other words, if I don’t pray, thus I demonstrate the lack of submission to the will of God; because praying is the command of God.

    “And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers. 19And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men. 20And they straightway left their nets, and followed him”In the above passage, Jesus saw two brothers trying to catch fish by the sea side and immediately recognized that they have a better destiny, so He instructed them to follow Him. This word of God to you today is this: Follow me and I will make you.Do you know that you are not all you could be yet? Only the Lord knows who you are created to be and He wants to make you become who you are really created to be. That is why He said “I will make you”.

  • Be a good example for your children, your younger brothers and sisters!

    Children watch and learn from us, and they will repeat what they have seen their parents do. For this reason we can say they being a parent is a calling and assignment from God; the task of a parent is to set correct patterns and show a right example for the children. When the woman from Canaan turned to Jesus in a time of distress she did not think that she is setting an example for her daughter of dealing with hard times. Our children need us not just ‘to talk the talk’, but to live in a correct way and demonstrate our convictions by our daily walk.

  • Do not be afraid to work; do not be afraid to sacrifice your time to the Lord! II

    Don’t be ashamed of what you have. God has given you those particular talents for you to multiply them, not to hide them. Do not waste your strength on hiding from your calling. Let your talents be visible to others. The talents you possess do not actually belong to you; they belong to the Lord. So, if you are ashamed to use them, it means you are ashamed of the Lord Himself.
