When you live in obedience to His Word, God protects you from sorrows and tragedies that fill this world nowadays

 Good morning, dear friends! I am glad that once again I can share the Word of the Lord with you! I would like us to focus on the life of Noah again today.
„Now the flood was on the earth forty days. The waters increased and lifted up the ark, and it rose high above the earth. The waters prevailed and greatly increased on the earth, and the ark moved about on the surface of the waters.” (Genesis 7:17-18).
Today I would like to point out a very important truth: if you are obedient to God in your actions and in your life in general, then the very same thing that destroys others will lift you up. In the Scripture above we can see that the same waters, which destroyed the world by flooding it, raised Noah’s ark that he had built according to the Word of God. The very same waters destroyed some people and lifted up somebody else – Noah. To the faithful Noah, flood waters brought salvation. This is the fulfillment of God’s promise:
„A thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; but it shall not come near you.” (Psalm 91:7).
God wants to show you today that it is extremely important to build your life on the Word of the Lord. When you live in obedience to His Word, God protects you from sorrows and tragedies that fill this world nowadays. May God help us to live a life that is pleasing to Him!Be blessed! May the peace of God be with you! Pastor Rufus Ajiboye

    «The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul; the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple; the statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart; the commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes» (Psalm 19:8-9).This passage of Scriptures tells us that one of the sources of joy is God’s Word, meditation on the Word and the perception of the (our) world through the prism of the Word. That is why it is so important for us to realize that if we want to remain in joy and learn to draw joy, we must grow in love with God’s Word.

    «…Write the vision, and make it plain on tablets, that he may run who reads it.» (Habakkuk 2:2).Make notes of everything you believe in, everything that God speaks to your heart during prayer, fasting or Bible studies on the paper! For example, you may say: “I wish I could preach the word of God followed by miracles and wondrous things”, or “I wish I could bring relief to orphans by giving some of them a shelter in my house”, or ”I want to establish a school for those who would minister in the church”.
