We have to always choose God´s will

ByPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 3 minutes
Dear children of God, welcome to the column “Daily word for spiritual strength”. I believe our sessions inspire and cheer you up.Yesterday we talked about Jesus very serious attitude to God´s will itself and its fulfilment. Doing Fathers work who sent Him was our Lord´s highest priority.Going through the most difficult ordeal in His life, when Jesus heart was internally struggling whether to accept or to reject God´s will, He proved with His own example that we have to always choose God´s will even if it requires us to go through pain and sufferings.  
«My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass away from me; nevertheless, not what I desire, but what you desire.» (Matthew 26:39).
 
« … Father, if you are willing, remove this cup from me. Nevertheless, not my will, but yours, be done.» (Luke 22:42)
  The Bible invites us not to be foolish, but to understand what the will of the Lord is. (Ephesians 5:18).Jesus had fellowship with God and knew the Scriptures, that´s why He got to know God´s will. You can do the same thing if you really wish to know what God´s will is.Getting to know God´s promises and prevailing the temptations and satan was not the only reason why Jesus studied the Scriptures. He basically did it to understand the God´s will. Quoting Scriptures Jesus implemented God´s will in His life. All these examples prompt every Christian who wants to fulfil his mission in his life to grow up in understanding of God´s will.There are at least three ways of how God´s children have to grow, so that they are able to fulfil the mission on this Earth.First of all, we have to personally know God, His nature, His heart and the goals He set for His creatures. We can receive the necessary revelations about God by reading the Bible, praying, having fellowship with the Holy Spirit and other people who know God.Secondly, get to know yourself. Get to know yourself as a different person, one who sits with Him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus. Don´t forget, everyone in Christ is a new creation, the old has passed away! (see Ephesians 2:4-10). It´s necessary to understand your mission and the goal of your life on Earth, the power you´ve been given as a child of God and your heritage you possess together with the holy ones (the Scripture also reveals all these things to us).As a third thing, you should get to know your enemy – satan. You have to be aware of his abilities but most of all we have to know what satan cannot do. In addition we need a revelation about how to fight the devil, so that we can fulfil our mission on Earth.The word of God is the only source of revelation, truth and spiritual reason. The word of God enlightens a person. The Bible is a source of light! Therefore, please do not study Bible in a religious way or just formally. Study the Bible the way that you can reveal to yourself things like who you are, why you´ve been born, what you possess and what you have to accomplish in your life on this Earth.See you tomorrow!God abundantly bless you all!Rufus Adjiboye, pastor

  • Ministry and giving determines the measure of one’s spiritual growth and maturity

    We are still talking about the blessedness of ministry and giving. We discussed that the one who loves God always serves people. Whoever serves people is blessed and exalted by God. God can’t support those that are only concerned with their own well-being and does not have any time for the promotion of the Kingdom of God.Ministry and giving determines the measure of one’s spiritual growth and maturity. It also determines how much I bear a resemblance to Jesus Christ. God wants us to grow spiritually. One of the indications of one’s spiritual growth is how he or she fulfils the needs of others. Such a person not only takes and receives, but also gives. Giving and ministry is one and the same word that determines how much of resemblance to Jesus Christ I bear.

    “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.”

  • Love means having fellowship and spending time together!

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 5 minutes
    We have been created fro love and fellowship with God. More than anything He wants us to love Him with all the whole essence. God initiated our relationships with Him. First of all, God sent Jesus to suffer, so we could restore the fellowship with Him. Now, when it´s already happened, the relationships with God have to become personal and intimate. If there is no order in our relationships with God, our whole life will be a chaos, so everything in it will be set the wrong way. Consequently, fellowship with God softens your heart making it sensitive, so that you learn to hear to and collaborate with God. God is still speaking to His people in many different ways. All those who have experienced God and His mercy in their life knew how to listen and recognise His voice.

  • Definitely write down the vision you receive from God!

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 4 minutes
    First of all, you need a revelation from God. Learning to recognise the voice of your Heavenly Father and getting to know Him as your best friend is vitally important. God is willing to give you wisdom, understanding and revelation in every sphere of your life. Though, when a revelation and wisdom are received from God, you have to write them down in whole. Then it becomes a spring of life, that gives breathe to you and brings hope that releases faith and trust on God in you.To write something down means to record the vision a paper. We have to put it down clearly, the way it makes sense to us later. Thus, we can bring our vision into reality, so that we can expect it and put our hopes upon. This is one of the methods how to cling with the vision together and dedicate yourself to fulfil it. Prophet Habakkuk reminds us about the importance of writing down the vision you have received from God.

  • In order for the light of God in our lives to shine brighter and brighter we have to consistently cleanse our lamp

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 6 minutes
    The bible said we are the light of the world, so each of us is a light bearer. And as you know, light is intended to enlighten and drive away any form of darkness. We have to realize though, that we do not have light on our own. The light we radiate is the reflection of the light we have received from God. If we have a distorted perception of God, and His ways, then the light we radiate will also be distorted. Quite often so many Christian radiate distorted light because their lamp is not clean.
