We are created in Christ Jesus

Greetings to you, dear friends! I am so happy for this opportunity to share with you the word God has placed in my heart for this day. I believe it will enrich you and make you stronger.We have been talking about what it means to be new creation in Christ Jesus. In Christ we have received new life and new opportunities. In Christ God gives us a way out of all difficult situations and circumstances.So what does the expression „we are created in Christ Jesus” mean in a practical sense? It means that in Christ we can discover our gifts and find use for them in compliance with God’s predestination. It also means that in Christ Jesus we are guaranteed satisfaction with life. 
«You have ascended on high, You have led captivity captive; You have received gifts among men, even from the rebellious, that the LORD God might dwell there»(Psalm, 68:18).
 
«But to each one of us grace was given according to the measure of Christ’s gift. Therefore He says: „When He ascended on high, He led captivity captive, and gave gifts to men.” (Now this, „He ascended”- what does it mean but that He also first descended into the lower parts of the earth? He who descended is also the One who ascended far above all the heavens, that He might fill all things.)» (Ephesians, 4: 7-10).
 There is a measure of grace (God’s power) that is not available to us until we receive Jesus as God’s gift. As soon as we come «in Christ» by accepting Jesus Christ as our Lord and Saviour, His power and grace is released in our life and we are able to realize our potential. In Christ Jesus all the things that were made captive or bound in our lives are made alive and free.Before coming to Christ we all were in captivity. Our gifts, talents and our destiny were in captivity with us. In Christ we were made alive, and it means that our gifts, talents and our destiny were made alive with us. Now, being in Christ, God fills us with His grace and power and we are able to live in all fullness. Jesus descended and ascended into heaven so that He could fill everything including you and me. Now we can be filled with God and His might. This opportunity is given to everyone who is in Christ Jesus.If you haven’t yet made the transition from the accursed seed of Adam into the blessed family of Christ, you can do it right now by calling upon His name and asking Him to come into your heart. If you already are in Christ then thank God for being able to live to the fullest. Stop limiting yourself; accept your destiny from God, go after it and you will be amazed at how much you are able to achieve in Christ.There are no limitations for you in Christ Jesus, because the power and grace of Christ fills you and makes you able to do great exploits. God has exalted you! Do not stay under, but pursue your goals as the apostle Paul did. This is what Paul said about himself: 
«Not that I have already attained, or am already perfect; but I press on, that I may lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus has also laid hold of me. Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. Therefore, let us, as many as are mature, have this mind; and if in anything you think otherwise, God will reveal even this to you» (Philippians, 3: 12-15).
 Find your destiny in God and pursue it, and then your life will be filled with meaning. Your family, work and daily routine will be a joy and not a burden. When you know the meaning of life, then life is meaningful and enjoyable.So we are His creation, created in Christ Jesus. Now the question is: «What are we created for in Christ Jesus?» We are created for good works that He predestined for us. We will talk about it tomorrow.God bless you!Pastor Rufus Ajiboye

    1. Set apart some time for prayer and commit to it.2. Plan where you will pray.It does not have to be at home, but you also do not need to turn prayer into some religious ritual. Be creative when you choose the place for prayer. For instance, there was a time in my life when I made walking into prayer time. I called it “a prayer walk”. I went out in the street for the purpose of prayer.
  • Prayer is a two-way communication

    Like I said, it is not what I tell God that it is the most important thing in prayer; it is what God wants to tell me. I will explain why it is so. Is there anything you can tell Him that He does not know! Is there anything at all? He knows everything. You may think that nobody knows what you are going through and that nobody knows the problems you have and how hard your life is. That may apply to people, but not to God. God knows everything! Even before you start praying, God knows everything you may want to tell Him. God also knows why these things are happening to you.
  • What is calling? How to reveal personal calling and how to enter it?

    Recognising of your calling and your task in this life is a process that consists of many small details. Quite often, people try to reveal their calling, while neglecting those small details that make the whole process. Nowadays, many people are unhappy because they either lack revelation for their life or oppose to such revelation, or simply lack understanding of how to fulfil the revelation. Let´s figure it all out.First thing to know is the fact that you were born to carry out a certain task. Bible says our life on this Earth has a goal and value determined. You are not a result of an accident! You were born on this Earth not just for the matter of occupying some space and breathing. You´ve got a mission to fulfil, a way to measure. You are created to take care for others and saved to minister. There many places in the Bible talking about this. We are going to elaborate the verse from Paul´s letter to Ephesians 2:10
