When you go through hardships, trials and pain, learn to praise God in these circumstances!

ByPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 2 minutes
Good morning, my dear friends!I am glad to greet you on the pages of our „Daily Word for Spiritual Edification”Today I would like to talk to you about the advantages that are hidden in pain and problems. Pain and problems – they are the things that God uses to spiritually discipline and develop us. We learn obedience through the things we suffer.
«..though He was a Son, yet He learned obedience by the things which He suffered» (Hebrews, 5: 8).
Gold is purified in high temperatures. Sufferings are ‘high temperature’ that purifies us. Our faith must be like purified gold.
“But He knows the way that I take; when He has tested me, I shall come forth as gold” (Job, 23:10).
God uses sufferings to make our faith more precious. The Bible talks about it in 1st Peter (1:6-7):
“In this your greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be, you have been grieved by various trials, that the genuineness of your faith, being much more precious than gold that perishes, though it is tested by fire, may be found to praise, honour, and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ”.
Right attitude towards trials – it is when we rejoice before God and hand over our situations to Him. It is vital to grasp that those who desire to live a godly life will suffer, but God knows how to take us through and deliver from any difficult situation. Our part is to love God and be obedient to Him.Besides it is important to understand that the manner how we go through difficulties affects other people. If our reaction to hard things of life is correct, it helps other people to come to God.God’s word to you today is: when you go through hardships, trials and pain, learn to praise God in these circumstances!Till tomorrow!Pastor Rufus Ajiboye

«For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works …» (Ephesians 2:10).God has created you with a purpose. We are created and made for ministry on this Earth. Life without purpose is similar to a movement without a direction. Once we clarify who we are in God and what He has done for us – we immediately realise why we are here in this world. So we are made for good works.

As we said before, a successful person is the one who knows what God wants him to do in his life and has dedicated his life for doing God’s will. Human success is not measured by his social status, banc accounts, and influence in society, popularity or fame in this world. True success is measured by how successful he has been in doing God’s will.Think about it today! God desires to give you true success that can be found in learning and doing God’s will for your life. You are the one who determines what to do with your life: either seeking temporary pleasure and enjoyment or seeking the eternal values of God’s Kingdom and His will for your life.

Your gift will make room for you

Today I would like to start talking about the topic I have titled as: “Your gift will make room for you”. The Word of God says: «A man’s gift makes room for him, and brings him before great men» (Proverbs, 18: 16).Your gift will make room for you and will broaden your boarders, if you won’t hide it. So many times believers ask: «Where is my place in the Body of Christ? What is my calling?»Do what you know. This simple principle gives an answer to many questions. Find the thing that you know how to do; find what you can do to promote the Kingdom of God, to help the church to grow and to extend your influence in the society.

«And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God» (Romans, 12:2).When I read the Word, meditate on it and apply it to my life, I initiate changes in my life and actions, since my thoughts and views grow alike with God’s thoughts and His will. God says that His thoughts and His ways are not like ours.

You know that in the history of revivals the key role was played by praying women, because God had given them the burden of prayer for the lives other people. Women know how to carry things that distress them and bear them before God. That is why prayer is one of the purposes of mothers. Mother’s prayers are so powerful! Mother’s prayer reaches the goal! Mother’s prayer brings freedom to her children! So if you are a mother, God expects unceasing prayers from you, until the necessary answer comes. Do not stop praying for your children. Children need your prayers, and other people need your prayers.

Jesus as our Model made friends based on his or her willingness to do God´s will. His never chose friends just because a certain person was a relative or a stranger, poor or rich, a law teacher or a sinner. Those who desired to do God´s will were “a brother, a sister and a mother” to Him. In opposite case Jesus only tried to help such person to understand the purpose of his life and unite him or her with the Creator while those who wanted to do God´s will in their life became His best friends.
