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

    Let’s look at the steps that Solomon took in order to find the meaning of life. We will see what conclusions Solomon came to. The first thing Solomon turned to was acquiring of wisdom and knowledge. «I communed with my heart, saying, „Look, I have attained greatness, and have gained more wisdom than all who were before me in Jerusalem. My heart has understood great wisdom and knowledge.” And I set my heart to know wisdom and to know madness and folly. I perceived that this also is grasping for the wind. For in much wisdom is much grief, and he who increases knowledge increases sorrow» (Ecclesiastes, 1:16-18).

    One of the ways we make ourselves qualified is to learn to listen to people, listen to their hearts and feelings; only then we can really help them.Besides, we must be ready to show the problem from a different perspective. It is not satisfactory to point out person’s problem or his or her mistakes; we must be able to highlight how his or her present lifestyle or approach to life has caused the problem.Today I would like us to look at another passage of Scripture.

    «All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness…» (2 Timothy, 3:16).It is written that God’s Word is profitable for reproof. What is reproof? Reproof is when you are showed when you are being wrong. Quite often you and I are wrong; we need to be corrected by the Word of God.But the Bible not only corrects us; it also teaches us. The Bible disciplines and edifies us. The Bible helps us to realize how we can our lives and where to start.

    Yesterday we started talking about how not to give up, when problems and trials are all around us. Today we are going to continue about it and I would like to share with you where we can find the strength for it. In order for us not to give up when dealing with hardships and challenges we must know that problems are a common thing and a part of life. Nobody is secured against them no matter how big your love for God is. If you think that you are the only one with problems and the others don’t have any, then you set yourself up for failure.

    «So he called ten of his servants, delivered to them ten minas, and said to them, ‘Do business till I come.’» (Luke, 19:13).This verse clearly states that the master told his servants to do business with the things they were given. The master expected them to get some profit from his ‘investment’.
