We have to be ready to go wherever God sends us to

ByPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 4 minutes

Good day dear friends!

Thanks God for this wonderful day He gave to us! Thanks God for another opportunity to get filled with His living word! As we concluded yesterday, we have to become obedient disciples, so that our families, our church and our towns can be stirred. God uses obedient disciples to fulfil His prophesies and restore His will on Earth. Even more, we have to be ready to go wherever God sends us to. Thus we can fulfil our calling. Obedience to call begins with obedience to short instructions God gives to us through His word and our leaders in Christ.

It´s also important to know that Jesus knows everything, He possesses all hidden information, necessary for our mission. That´s why obedience to the Lord who knows everything is vitally important! When Jesus had a need for a donkey to ride upon to Jerusalem, He knew where to find the animal. He knew where to go and find that donkey. He knew how to bring that donkey to Him.

* He also knew what the master of the donkey would say to His request and what the disciples had to say in reply. God knows everything that is necessary to stir things up.

* We are required to maintain fellowship with Him so that we can hear His voice, receive His instructions and follow them afterwards. If we are clear on that God knows everything we have to learn how to listen to Him and obey His word!

* To become obedient disciples we have to listen to His word and His voice addressed to us personally. Some people excuse themselves saying God has not told them what to do yet, while having attended the church for years. The most terrible point is that such people having their Bibles closed daily and weekly will never get any message from the Lord. Each time we open the Bible Holy Spirit talks to us through His word.

* We need certain fellowship habits with God. We wake up in the morning and as obedient disciples we want to know what God wants us to do today. Maybe He wants us to phone somebody or pray for somebody, maybe He wants us to testify about Christ or write a letter, maybe He wants us to visit somebody to cheer him or her up and have fellowship. God knows everything – where somebody is in need, where to find the resources to meet those needs. God is looking for obedient disciples who follow Him to break all ties and move forward, those who dedicate themselves to building the Kingdom of Heaven on Earth.

Who are ready to become such tool today?

* There are different ministries in the church today. We have those only by virtue of some people who dedicated themselves and their talents, their time, energy and their finances to serve the Lord and people around them.

* There are many people in the church still bound, so those need to be untied. There are many things that can bind us like sin, forgivingness, pride, selfishness, fear, uncertainty, different problems with relationships, but Jesus came to this world to set us free.

* Obey to go and you will be set free. When God tells you to forgive – forgive! When God says “Go!” – just go! As simple as that! Fear not, be free!

* Any kind of fear is a rebellion! Israel is a good example. When they moved out of Egypt they faced the giants and got scared. Describing those events the Bible says the Israelites didn´t enter the promised land due to their unbelief and disobedience.

«Seeing therefore it remains that some should enter therein, and they to whom the good news was before preached failed to enter in because of disobedience,» (Hebrews 4:6).

Here we see that fear is compared to disobedience.

What are you afraid of? When God has promised to be with you why should you fear of something or somebody? Even when you fail to manage something at the first attempt, don´t worry, you will succeed trying it for the fifth time. Watch a baby trying to walk. Having felt once does he quit the whole affair, lies on the floor and watch the other children walking beside? Not at all! The baby falls then stands up, falls then stands up over and over again as long as he has learned how to walk and run.

Fear not, stand up and go and God will be with you!

God bless you abundantly!

Rufus Adjiboye, pastor

    In order to determine whether we are being disciplined by God or we are dealing with the attack of the enemy, first we must ask ourselves some questions:§ What circumstances do I find myself in? (see Colossians, 3:17)o Am I where God wants to see me?

    « Because I have called, and you have refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no one has paid attention; … Then will they call on me, but I will not answer. They will seek me diligently, but they will not find me; Because they hated knowledge, And didn’t choose the fear of Yahweh. » (Proverbs 1:24, 28, 29).In these verses God tells us about the necessity to change our attitude towards His call, otherwise He would not listen to our calling the time we run to Him with our petitions. Forget about your own problems and take part in finding solutions for the needs and problems God has today, He will become a part of a solution for your problems then.

    Are you so busy about ministry that you are forgetting to spend time with the master? How will you know if you are pleasing Him or not, if you do not take some time to listen to His evaluation of what you are doing? It is so important to cultivate a sensitive heart that can easily discern God’s desire. This kind of heart can be cultivated as we understand that all ministries should begin in the presence of God.

  • How do we make sure that the Word of God abides in us? II

    When I hear the preaching of God’s Word, God speaks to me through someone else. When I read the Word, God speaks to me directly. There are things He wants to speak to me personally, without mediators. God wants me to fellowship with Him so that He can teach me. When you hear the word through the other preaching of people, you can hear things that you do not fully understand or you might even say you do not agree with some things. However, when you fellowship with God through the reading of His Word and God reveals some things to you, you cannot say it is someone else’s opinion.

  • In our lives we must reflect the life, the power and the nature of Christ

    You should not forget that you are God’s ambassadors on earth. When you face a problem or a difficult situation, think of what Jesus would have done if He were in a similar situation. This will help you. Christ is the One we represent on this earth. Think of what He would say, how He would solve the problem, how He would go through the situation you are facing today. If you think about like Christ thinks and you develop or grow in the nature of God, then you will become a strong and influential ambassador of God in your sphere of influence; you will ‘salty’ and you will be bright light in this world.

    I want to begin this word with a story: A man had a wonderful garden that brought him a rich, abundant harvest. When his neighbor saw that, he decided that the next spring he would make a garden for himself too. But after the neighbor had sawn seeds in his garden, he did not do anything there afterward. He did not water his garden, did not cultivate, neither loosened the soil. When the autumn came, his garden was neglected and full with weeds. And, of course, it did not bring forth any fruit.
