We are hands, feet, mouth and heart of our God

ByPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 3 minutes
Mercy and peace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you! Welcome to our column “Daily word for spiritual strength”!We concluded that we are hands, feet, mouth and heart of our God. If we refuse to collaborate with God, He will not be able to act or fulfil His plan in our cities and our countries. We stopped at what do we have to do in order to witness spiritual revival filling our cities? To make it happen we must become obedient disciples of Jesus Christ. God uses this kind of people to fulfil His prophesies and restore His will on Earth. Obedient disciple is one who moves and works for God, not sitting and doing nothing, so God can move through such person.«Therefore go, and make disciples of all nations, baptising them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I commanded you. Behold, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen.» (Matthew 28:19-20).

Many people call this verse of Scripture as the Great message from the Lord.

*The word go is a key word in this message – “go and spread…”. If you do not go, you are a passive disciple.* God puts His hope on each of us, so that we go not in the name of our pride or just looking for a solution for our problems, but in the Name of the Lord.* God will take care for your problems if you take care for His problems and needs.In order to go somewhere one has to know where to go. Exact direction is not always visible from the very beginning, sometimes it´s not even necessary to know it.* Abraham started off his way without any clue about where he was going, but he obeyed God.«By faith, Abraham, when he was called, obeyed to go out to the place which he was to receive for an inheritance. He went out, not knowing where he went.» (Hebrews 11:8)* Going means leaving your current location. You may not know where you have to go while being sure that you can´t stay in your current situation any longer. You do understand that you need changes.* Praise the Lord for the obedient disciples. They are not sitting but going forward. Obedient disciples not only listen to the Word, they also act according to the Word. They accept the God´s word and act to fulfil this word, so they get into the centre of God´s will.* Obedience to call begins with obedience to short instructions God gives to us through His word and our leaders in Christ. God says we have to submit to our leaders in Christ because they are taking care for our souls. «Obey your leaders and submit to them, for they watch on behalf of your souls, as those who will give account, that they may do this with joy, and not with groaning, for that would be unprofitable for you.» (Hebrews 13:17). Make the decision to obey the Lord in everything and follow Him wherever He leads you to. Trust God and He will do a great job in your life and through you. Meet you tomorrow! God bless you abundantly! Rufus Adjiboye, pastor

    There are many things that drive people’s life, motivate them and influence their system of values.Many believers are driven by wrong motives today. In order to live strategically you definitely have to ask yourself these questions: “Why do I do what I do?”, “What are my secret motives?”, “What values influence my life?”, “What affects my decisions and my choice?”, “What is driving me in the spending of my money and time?”, “What drives my life?”

  • 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.

  • Habit is a compilation of knowledge, skills and willingness III

    If we want to have fruitful prayer life, then prayer must become a habit. In order for that to happen we must gain some skills in the area of prayer. Skill means how we do something. When you know what you need to do and why you need to do it, the next step is HOW to do it. If you don’t know how, this activity can’t become a habit. But you won’t be able to learn how, unless you actually start doing it. I won’t know how to pray, unless I start praying. I am sure we already know very much about prayer. You can put to practice this knowledge that you have. Thus you obtain skills. Skills are developed by putting knowledge to practice.

    We have found how the law of sowing and reaping as well as and our gratitude works to release the power of God’s favour in our lives. The last point i will like you to pay attention to is how a person’s character can slow down or speed up the favour of God in his or her life.If you want to have successes with God or with people you should become a person of Godly character.

  • Worthy Goal for Life II

    Yesterday we started talking about our goals. Everyone has them. We discussed that there are worthy and less worthy goals. We also saw that after meeting Christ, Paul devoted his life to Him; earnest expectation of Christ to be glorified in his body and through his life became his main goal in life. It is very important to ascertain for ourselves what our goals are.You and I have been justified by faith in Jesus Christ and we have peace with God. But it is just the beginning. Having been reconciled with God is just the beginning of the Christian walk. What awaits us afterwards? Through faith we gain Access to God’s grace and we expect the glory of God to be progressively revealed in us and through us.
