When did God speak to you the last time?

ByPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 4 minutes
I greet you, dear friends, on this wonderful day! Every day God creates everything new, and His mercy is renewed every morning! We continue to talk about how important it is to be led by God’s Word and God’s voice.In what way God speaks to us? God has a variety of techniques, which He uses to talk to us. Mostly God speaks to us through His Word (the Bible). For some people it is easier to believe in an angel who came down from heaven, than in what is written in the Bible. God in His Word is much closer to us than an angel, but we do not make a thing of the Word written in the Scriptures. God speaks to us through His Word. The Bible – it is a living book, this is God’s Own Word, a speaking Word. If we want to enjoy eternal life every day, then let the Word of God talk to you every day. Do not read the Bible as history, stories or fiction, which has nothing to do with your life today. Do not read the Bible as the word which God speaks to the Jews, but perceive it as the Word which God speaks today personally to you. And do believe that God can talk to you from the Bible pages every day. God wants to lead you along the path on which you should walk. God speaks to us through the Holy Spirit and the Word of God – these are the two main methods by which God speaks. The Holy Spirit and the Word of God interact. The Holy Spirit is the author of the Word and when we are reading the Bible, He enlightens us and gives internal evidence. Usually this happens when we read the Word of God. But this is not the only time when the Holy Spirit can speak to you. He can talk to you even when you do not pray and read the Bible. If you have a close relationship with God, you will know His voice! When you do pray, especially if you are baptized with the Holy Spirit and pray in tongues, your spirit is in fellowship with God and there is the exchange of information between you and God.Therefore, when you do not pray, the information that has been received and is in your spirit is beginning to express itself.
„No, we speak of God’s secret wisdom, a wisdom that has been hidden and that God destined for our glory before time began. None of the rulers of this age understood it, for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. However, as it is written: “No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love him” but God has revealed it to us by his Spirit. The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God.”(1 Corinthians 2:7-10)
God’s wisdom is intended to give us glory. Jesus says that His Word is life, but life with Jesus is full of glory. Where does this life, full of God’s glory, come from? So when we hear God’s wisdom and follow this wisdom, God gives us His glory. They who dishonour God’s wisdom go towards a shame.So ask yourself a question: When did God speak to you the last time? When was the last time you heard God’s voice?You are reading the Word of God and you hear God’s voice, and the Holy Spirit speaks to you. God has a plan for us. If we live in this plan, we have a life in abundance. But if we are not in God’s plan, we cannot enjoy this life. Outside of God’s plan there is no real life. We want to live in God’s plan, but God must reveal this plan to people through the Word of God and Holy Spirit.Therefore you must love the Word of God and dwell in it every day to draw strength and learn what the plan of God is for your life.We shall continue tomorrow!With the love of God!Pastor Rufus Ajiboye

  • So a disciplined person is able to subject or control himself

    A disciplined person is always in submission to certain set of rules and order. If you do not have any rules or regulations, if you avoid the word ‘order’, in your life, then you are undisciplined, and you won’t be able to experience any spiritual progress or growth.Spiritual growth which is related to positive changes in a person’s life is not a heritage meant for undisciplined people. If a person lacks discipline, he will always break and ignore rules and regulations. It does not matter how many sets of rules and regulations he impose on himself for noble purposes, an undisciplined man will break them all as soon as he made them.

Multiplication and growth always imply process. It is unavoidable if we want to receive harvest. We just have to do our part. First, that we have to understand in order to receive harvest is that we need some seed. The truth is that we already have seed.

    Yesterday we started talking about God’s desire to demonstrate His glory and fullness in our lives; for this to happen we have to prepare our hearts and to prepare the way of the Lord. We have to cleanse our hearts from the things that God hates and cannot look upon.The following verses from the Scripture reveal the principle of preparation the way of the Lord.«In those days John the Baptist came preaching in the wilderness of Judea, and saying, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand!” For this is he who was spoken of by the prophet Isaiah, saying: “The voice of one crying in the wilderness: ‘Prepare the way of the LORD; make His paths straight.’”» (Mathew, 3:1-3).

  • Submission to God

    Submission to God doesn´t mean doing everything that comes to your mind. Contrariwise, it makes us responsible for getting to know what God bears in His heart regarding His will to our life. For this reason you have to submit yourself in whole to the Lord in order to have fellowship with Him as a source of inspiration, freshness and guidance. Everybody who experienced His power in his life and became a tool of His mercy constantly submitted himself to the Lord.

Why didn’t Jesus answer the woman’s prayer right away? Why did He answer the way He did?1.Jesus wanted her faith to grow.Why doesn’t Jesus answer our prayers right away? Why are there always obstacles on our ways in the search for an answer? Because God desires to build up our faith.
