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

    The God´s mercy is renewed for us this morning. The Bible says: «Let everything that has breath praise Yah!» (Psalm 150:6). If you can breath today – it´s a mercy of the Lord and a sufficient reason to praise and thank Him.Today I would like to begin a new topic called “How can we experience God in our life?” Studying the Bible we see God doing great feats through many people. He was able to realise His intentions using those people just due to their revelation and understanding of God´s key principles. While living in the different times, educated on a different level, belonged to the different cultures all Bible heroes basically have something in common. The secret of the success and feats they had is obvious – they knew God and interacted with Him. They experienced God´s power and His mercy in their lives. How did they succeeded? It became possible because they dedicated themselves to God. That´s exactly what God is inviting us to do.

    We mostly think that our destiny is determined by other people or how they act toward us. Or we think that destiny depends on the circumstances that surround us or things that happen around us. But it is not true, and God does not think that way! God knows that the circumstances in your life won’t define your life. What people do or do not do to you cannot determine your life. Your destiny is defined by where your heart is. Thus, God tells us that we have to guard our hearts with all diligence.

  • Sin is the root of the evil

    «He who sins is of the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil» (1 John, 3:8).The devil deceived Adam and Eve who were reflecting the glory of God in the earth, because he hated God and all the things that brought glory to God. Adam and Eve were given a free will and a right to choose and they decided to disobey God and submit to the voice of the devil. That is how sin entered their life and the life of all of the generations after them. They gave themselves and their posterity into the hands of death. And since that time death has begun its reign over people.
