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

  • The importance of unity

    This Scripture tells us that the people had one goal, they had one language, and they put forth a unified effort, and it says about them that “now nothing that they propose to do will be withheld from them”. God said that because of their unity they would be successful in everything that they do. In the Bible God often speaks to His people about unity. Unity is a very important key that allows us as God’s people or the Church to fulfill the will of God and our calling in this earth.

  • What is compassion?

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 5 minutes
    We must understand that Jesus’ disciples were not perfect; quite the opposite, they are ordinary people with „character issues”. Jesus did not wait until they become perfect, but sent them out to serve people. He did not have anybody else to send; so He worked with what He had. And He is calling us to do the same today; it applies to every one who considers himself to be His disciple. Jesus desires for God’s children to be filled with compassion and to help people allowing God to touch all the people around them with His love.If we see someone perishing physically because of some illness, we do everything to save him. We often do not realize that unsaved people are spiritually ill, that they are perishing and need salvation. We must do everything in our power to save them. So our hearts need to go out to them with love and compassion.

    God reigns on the earth and in heaven. When we talk about the lordship of Jesus, we mean that His rule covers everything and everybody. We have already mentioned that God has shared His rule with the mankind, having entrusted people with authority and dominion on the earth. Adam and Eve were given authority to rule on the earth, because God Himself wanted that.
