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

  • Ask God for a reformation of your life, especially your prayer life!

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 4 minutes
    God desires for us to realize that the church that prayer also wins; it is united church which cannot be overcome by the gates of hell. Praying church is a growing church that experiences God’s power and miracles. God promised that He has established His church and that the gates of hell will not prevail against it. May God help every one of us to give prayer the central place in our lives; may God’s order be established in our lives. I am not talking about redundant, fruitless imitation of prayer; I am talking about the prayer that touches heaven, releases God’s power which was seen in the life of Jesus.

  • All great things always start small and insignificant

    Yesterday we began talking about how all great things always start small and insignificant. In order to enter the fullness of your calling and ministry, we need to do what is revealed to us today whatever that would be. Your knowledge, your experience and your mind – these are all gifts from God which we can use in serving people. When you serve people with your gifts, then these gifts make room for you. «A man’s gift makes room for him, and brings him before great men» (Proverbs, 18: 16).Studying the church history, we see that all of God’s generals didn’t start big. These people used what they had and did whatever they could. They began using the abilities they had. Eventually, their gifts found their place in the Body of Christ and grew into large ministries.

  • A person must be filled with the Word and live by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God

    People “dull of hearing” are not the ones who do not listen at all; they are the ones who are not able to grasp and comprehend.When we feed on God’s Word, this Word helps us grow spiritually. When we do not do it, we stay spiritual babies. Looking at some churches we can see that they are full of spiritual babies. This situation does not bring joy to God, because He can’t rely on spiritual babies.

  • Presence of God III

    «Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded. Lament and mourn and weep! Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to gloom. Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up» (James, 4:8-10)From the verses above we see that sin and adultery distance a person from God and block His presence, His power and glory from manifesting. So, besides prayer, there are other things that bring us closer to God and bring His presence into our lives: those are repentance and commitment to live a holy life.

    We saw that usually Jesus first served people and helped them practically and then pointed them to the eternal things – to their Heavenly Father. We must remember that the goal of ministry is to help people reunite with God through our good words.True ministry will require of us to sacrifice something. But we do it for the Lord Jesus Christ and the Gospel

  • Only God can tell us the way we can please Him through our ministry

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 4 minutes
    Can we serve God on His conditions, instead of ours? does our service to God cost us something? Whether we give to God the rests of our time which and so is not present, or we give to It from the rudiments? Do we give to God the left over of times or do we commit the first fruit of our time to God? Do we serve God only when that is convenient and favourablу for us, or we are ready to sacrifice our comfort for the sake of the interests of the Kingdom God?
