What does God promises those people who seek His face

ByPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 5 minutes
 Greetings to all of you! Thank you for finding the time to read God’s message for today. His Word is alive and powerful. My desire is for you to fall in love with His Word and become doers of it. Today we will once again turn to the Bible to see what God promises those people who seek His face, hear His voice and are led by His Spirit.  
« Blessed are the people who know the joyful sound! They walk, O LORD, in the light of Your countenance. In Your name they rejoice all day long, and in Your righteousness they are exalted. For Your are the glory of their strength, and in Your favour our horn is exalted. For our shield belongs to the LORD, and our king to the Holy One of Israel. Then You spoke in a vision to Your holy one, and said: „I have given help to one who is mighty; I have exalted one chosen from the people. I have found My servant David; with My holy oil I have anointed him, with whom My hand shall be established; also My arm shall strengthen him. The enemy shall not outwit him, nor the son of wickedness afflict him. I will beat down his foes before his face, and plague those who hate him. But My faithfulness and My mercy shall be with him, and in My name his horn shall be exalted. Also I will set his hand over the sea, and his right hand over the rivers. He shall cry to Me, ‘You are my Father, My God, and the rock of my salvation’. Also I will make him My firstborn, the highest of the kings of the earth. My mercy I will keep for him forever, and My covenant shall stand firm with him. His seed also I will make to endure forever, and his throne as the days of heaven». Psalm (88:15-29)
              This passage of Scripture tells us what God promises to the people who know and hear His voice: Þ         enlightment; Þ         exaltation; Þ         victory over enemies; Þ         protection; Þ         support. 

 
 «Give unto the LORD, O you mighty ones, give unto the LORD glory and strength. Give unto the LORD the glory due to His name; worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness. The voice of the LORD is over the waters; the God of glory thunders; the LORD is over many waters. The voice of the LORD is powerful; the voice of the LORD is full of majesty. The voice of the LORD breaks the cedars, yes, the LORD splinters the cedars of Lebanon. He makes them also skip like a calf, Lebanon and Sirion like a young wild ox. The voice of the LORD divides the flames of fire. The voice of the LORD shakes the wilderness; the LORD shakes the Wilderness of Kadesh. The voice of the LORD makes the deer give birth, and strips the forests bare; and in His temple everyone says, “Glory!” The LORD sat enthroned at the Flood, and the LORD sits as King forever. The LORD will give strength to His people; the LORD will bless His people with peace». Psalm 29
 Þ        When you hear God’s voice you will be strong. Þ        You will be able to easily break the strongholds of life. Þ        You will be able to walk through fiery tests and stay unharmed. Þ        You will be able to enjoy freedom from every burden. Þ        You will be able to enjoy peace in the midst of fear and confusion. 
  1. John (8:12), Job (29:2-11)     
 Þ         When you hear form God He will pour His light over your life and you will be able to overcome all darkness. Þ         The secrets of the Lord will be revealed to you and you will be exalted. Job’s life is an example of this (see Job, 29: 2-11). 

            God still speaks today!

             It is a wonderful experience when a person tunes himself to hear God’s voice. It is more than hearing God today; it is hearing God every day. Such experience brings inner peace that shows outwardly. No money can buy this kind of peace! And, probably, the most terrible experience is for a person that is used to hearing God to lose that ability because of some sin or acts of disobedience. It is not just a great loss; it is what makes a person miserable. 
«So Samuel said: „Has the LORD as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to heed than the fat of rams. For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because you have rejected the word of the LORD, He also has rejected you from being king.”» (1 Samuel, 15:22-23).
 If God talks to you, I pray for Him to keep doing it. But if you have lost this blessing, I pray for it to be restored as soon as possible. May God abundantly bless every one of you! Pastor Rufus Ajiboye

    Accountability makes us strong and unites us to the other believers; it also kills the “I am a lone island” thinking. This type of thinking has caused many problems that the Body of Christ still suffers from.God does not want you to be an island that is separated and independent of the other brothers and sisters in Christ. We are not only responsible to being accountable ourselves; we also need to call others to accountability and help them with it.

  • Jesus came to fill the Earth with His glory

    AutorsRolands Z Reading Time: 3 minutes
    Jesus didn´t come into this world to die on the cross so that people become religious and indifferent to God. Contrariwise, Jesus came to fill the Earth with His glory just like rivers fill the seas. Jesus set an example of what we have to do. Wherever Jesus showed up He stirred the place! Everywhere He showed up people responded to His visit both positively and negatively. Some of them said: “Watch the Messiah, He is the answer, He is the son of God!” while the others stated: “He is obsessed by demons, He is a sinner, blasphemer, He is dangerous, so He must die”.

    The lordship of Jesus Christ is what helps us to walk free from the accusations of Satan; with it in our lives, the blood of Jesus Christ works on our behalf. Our accuser is not the only voice before God; our Advocate and Intercessor Jesus Christ is also there defending us. If you will listen to the accuser, you consider yourself dirty and you won’t have the confidence and boldness to come before God. But if you will listen to your Intercessor Jesus Christ, then you will walk in repentance and the blood of Jesus Christ will cleanse you.

  • The more we collaborate with God, the more prophecies we will see fulfilled

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 4 minutes
    What does it mean to be stirred? When such things happen due to the changes taking place in people and through people the latter can´t remain indifferent to God any more. Nowadays people live wrapped in their problems, immersed in their own world, as though there is no God at all. They use some duty phrases in their speech like “For God´s sake”, “Thanks God”, but there is no God in their hearts at all. It happens to them just because they have never experienced the real God in their lives. God is a care taking father. Such people have not felt how real the God is, how powerful and Almighty Creator He is.

  • The Bible calls us to ALWAYS PRAY AND NOT LOSE HEART

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 4 minutes
    The whole world lies in wickedness and darkness, but, looking at the people that have made prayer their priority #1, you realize that – so to speak – they are from another planet; they do not live in darkness because they seem shining. They have problems and their life is not any different, but they approach their problems in a different way and they look forward into the future in a different way. Prayer so alters their lives and strengthens their relationships with God that they do not notice things that others do.
