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

  • Organization of effective prayer life

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 4 minutes
    Prayer is a very important and necessary part of our spiritual life and can be compared to breathing, which is vital for our physical life. In other words, prayer is our spiritual breathing. The one who is not breathing is not alive. In the very same way, prayer is what makes us alive in spiritual sense. Thus, without prayer we are spiritually dead. This year we have talked a lot about serving God, and it is very important as well. We need to serve God! We need to serve people! But we will never be effective in our ministry to God and people without effective prayer.Remember it!

    One of the reasons for spiritual coldness and lukewarmness is negligence and laziness. Marital failure, financial poverty, failure in ministry and many other forms of poverty can all be traced back to the same root of negligence or dealing with a slack hand.“He becometh poor that dealeth with a slack hand: but the hand of the diligent maketh rich” (Proverbs 10:4)

    Jesus sometimes connects sickness with sins. This is not always the true for every sickness or situation (John 9:1-3), but very often our problems are connected to some unconfessed sins in our lives.“And he entered into a ship, and passed over, and came into his own city. 2 And, behold, they brought to him a man sick of the palsy, lying on a bed: and Jesus seeing their faith said unto the sick of the palsy; Son, be of good cheer; thy sins be forgiven thee” (Matthew 9:1-8).

  • God gives to everyone according to his or her ability

    We all want more. We want our churches to have more people, but God – according to your ability – will give you what you can handle. God will be able to entrust you His blessings according to the level of your responsibility. For example, you are in a predicament and you think, „Why do I have to live through this?” But God knows that you can handle it. We often are not aware of how responsible or irresponsible we are, but God is. God knows the burden you are able to carry. You may think and say to yourself, «No, I am not able to bear this! I am not capable!» Until you actually go through it, you won’t be able to imagine what you are capable of.

When the light of God comes into the person’s life, God’s wisdom comes with it and helps overcome all obstacles.
