What are these people that God reveals His plans to?

ByPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 3 minutes
Greetings to you, dear friends!Praise God for this wonderful day which God has given us! Thank God for one more opportunity to be filled with His living Word!Yesterday we started talking about God revealing His will only to those that desperately seek him. God reveals His secrets to the people that seek Him so that He could bless those that live on earth. We also saw that God reveals His secrets to a particular category of people. What are these people that God reveals His plans to? God reveals His secrets to God-fearing people that love Him.«The secret of LORD is with those who fear Him, and He will show them His covenant» (Psalm, 25:14).«For the perverse person is an abomination to the LORD, but His secret counsel is on the house of the wicked» (Proverbs, 3:32).«Who is the man that fears the LORD? Him shall He teach in the way He chooses» (Psalm, 25:12).«The fear of the LORD is the instruction of wisdom, and before honor is humility» (Proverbs, 15:33).These verses of Scripture tell us that God has fellowship with the people that are righteous and fear Him, and they are the ones God reveals His covenant and His secrets. If you want God to be with you and reveal to you His secrets and your destiny, then you need to learn to walk in the fear of the Lord. Many people ask God questions concerning their lives, but they do not get any answers because there are no signs of the fear of God in their lives. For example, Saul asked God what he should do in a difficult situation, but 
“the LORD did not answer him, either by dreams or by Urim or by the prophets” (1 Samuel, 28: 6).
 But when David asked the Lord, He always answered. 
 «Therefore David inquired of the LORD, saying, „Shall I go and attack the Philistines?” And the LORD said to David, „Go and attack the Philistines, and save Keilah”»(1 Samuel, 23:2).
 Why was there such a difference? The reason is that Saul did not have the fear of the Lord; David was a God-fearing man. Then, what is the fear of the Lord? What does it mean to fear God? Let the Bible give us answers to these questions. 
«Blessed is the man who fears the LORD, who delights greatly in His commandments» (Psalm, 112:1).
«The fear of the LORD is to hate evil; pride and arrogance and the evil way and the perverse mouth I hate» (Proverbs, 8:13).
«You who love the LORD, hate evil! He preserves the souls of His saints; He delivers them out of the hand of the wicked» (Psalm, 97:10).
«By humility and the fear of the LORD are riches and honor and life» (Proverbs, 22:4).
 According to the verses above to fear God means to love God, to respect Him and stick to His commandments. The fear of the Lord means to hate what God hates and to hate evil. To fear God means to continually humble oneself before Him, acknowledging his or her dependence on Him. It is to this kind of people that God reveals His wisdom and secrets.Tomorrow we will see who else God reveals secrets and covenant to.I wish you God’s abundant blessings!Pastor Rufus Ajiboye

  • Calling forth convincing and irrefutable proof

    Many people expect miracle in their life and sometimes the waiting continues many years. I want to help you today to see that we should not wait for a miracle to come, but we need to call forth and cause these miracles. Any miracle that a person desires to experience in his life can be brought about by this person. It is possible that the miracle won’t come right away, but when you build the necessary (natural) platform for it, it will absolutely come into your life. And when it happens you will have undeniable proof for your faith and trust in the Lord.

  • Sacrifice as a measure of love! V

    You cannot say you love and at the same time neglect spending time with the one whom you love. It is simply not possible! Time is our life. By spending time with the one whom you love, you are giving or sharing with them part of your life.In order to earn money, you need time; in order to spend money, you need time. If you have money but do not have time to spend it, this money will not bring you any blessings. If you lose the money, you can earn it back tomorrow. But if you lose time, you are not getting it back!

  • What we sow is what we reap

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 4 minutes
    But it is also important to note that we reap a lot more than we sow. Without sowing we don’t reap at all. If you want to become great and bring fruit in the kingdom of God, if you desire for your life to have godly influence over other people, then you have to sow your life into others. There are no short cuts to greatness and true influence. It would be foolish to expect greatness, multiplication and fruitfulness without sowing. That would be deception!

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 4 minutes
    In order to hear God’s voice, it is necessary that you learn to stop and calm down – calm down your mind, feelings, emotions, and only then you can hear what God says to you. When you learn to hear God’s voice, not only will you have eternal life, but also life in abundance, which is concealed in you. There will be problems, but you will be able to rejoice, because you will be sure that your God has an answer for any question, your God is able to solve any problem. Human mind tries to calculate everything – how are all things going, how everything must happen. Our minds work like fast processors. But the problem is that situations appear in our lives, and we cannot solve them. What happens to our mind-processor then? It falls out.

  • 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”.

  3. What is the fear of God, can it be explained in one little email? Is it the right question. Who gives understanding. In the chapters of Daniel we read that Daniel in prayer repented not only for his own sins but for all the generation of Jerusalem, Israel and Judah request God to remove his anger for them. Why? Because Daniel explains that they followed foreign gods and ignored the prophets God made known to talk to them about their own sins. Daniel makes this reference that the word the Lord spoke to Jeremiah is about the situation around Daniel in those ancient days. Jeremiah spoke about this about 175 years in advance. The Lord gave to Daniel three messages from Gabriel, from Michael and from the one who looks like the son of man. What was the messages ? Gabriel made known to Daniel about the Anointed one, Michael interpreted to Daniel his prayer during repentance, and the one who looks like the son of man and touched Daniels lips and gave him strength to speak. Michael said to Daniel not to fear because he was highly esteemed because of his prayer. Daniel did not speak to Michael, he spoke only to Gabriel and to the one that looks like a man. Gabriel spoke to Daniel saying to him that in the moment of his prayer to the Lord about repentance and forgiveness a word was send out immediately and the Lord gave Gabriel the instruction to interpret for Daniel. Jesus says, if you acknowledge me, I will acknowledge you in front of my father. What does it mean ? John interprets a understanding about Jesus, describing Jesus as the Lamb for our sins. Jesus also interprets an understanding when He teaches the crowds in Matthew 5 about the 1st, 2nd, 6th and 7th commandment His purpose that He didn’t come to abolish ( put an end to ) the Law but to put an end to sacrifice and offering. If the Lord were to ask each individual person about their own sins the transformation is going to start not by looking at what others is doing wrong but with ourselves. The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom.
