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

  • God is the only one who knows the true meaning of human life

    We are saved by Jesus Christ not by our deeds, to be followed by good deeds God has determined for us. Once we realise that He created us, we understand that our life on this Earth is absolutely meaningless without Him, without relationship and collaboration with God. Without Him we would resemble those who lack brain, wandering in the desert, having no certain way to go. Therefore, such people walk in the dark without light, staggering like a drunken man.«He takes away understanding from the chiefs of the people of the earth, And causes them to wander in a wilderness where there is no way. They grope in the dark without light. He makes them stagger like a drunken man.» (Job 12:24-25).

  • Jesus came into this world that he might destroy the works of the devil and he might reveal God´s works

    «He who sins is of the devil, for the devil has been sinning from the beginning. To this end the Son of God was revealed, that he might destroy the works of the devil.» (1st John 3:8).The devil inflicts pain, steals, murder and annihilate people, but God comes in Christ and manifests His power and mercy. In Christ God heals the sick, forgives sins, restores people lives, frees from curse and obsession by demons. A little later we will discuss the details about devil as a source of distress and sufferings people may have. Today I would like you to note that sins of other people also represent a source of pain and suffering.

  • What are the grounds or foundations of favour? III

    “Nevertheless, God’s solid foundation stands firm, sealed with this inscription: “The Lord knows those who are his,” and “Everyone who confesses the name of the Lord must turn away from wickedness.” (2 Tim.2:19)Practical righteousness is the solid foundation on which to build your Christian life and ensure that you receive God’s favour. If as a Christian you still continue to live in sin and make it part of your lifestyle, then you are eliminating yourself from God’s favour.

  • We must prepare the way so that the Lord could come in glory and fullness!

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 5 minutes
    God has a way. He does not force Himself on people; He is the God of order. Until there will be a way prepared for God, He won’t come. Many of us would like for God to come, but He does not come without proper preparation. God goes where people are ready for His visitation. And when God comes, then all barriers are cast aside, the desert starts blooming, the mountains and hills are brought down, the valleys will be filled, the crooked places are made straight and the rough places are made smooth. God can show us the great picture of what He wants to do among us and through us as His people or the Church. But it will take a serious preparation and it will require of us to be very responsible.

  • Cooperation with God

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 4 minutes
    When we continually pray and worship God, then our main desire is doing the will of God. Many prayers remain unanswered by God, because these prayers have a wrong foundation and demonstrate wrong priorities. For example, you may pray for a person with some serious problems. And you ask God to remove his or her problems or to solve them. At the same time you know that even if the answer to this prayer comes, the problems might return, since the cause of them has not been removed. That is why when Paul prayed he always asked for the people to learn the will of God and have a desire to do His will and be fruitful.
