Why we need the favour? II

ByPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 2 minutes
Good day to you, friends! The power of God’s favour should not be taken for granted. For this reason, for several days now we have been talking about this important matter.Favour is the solution for all of your problems – spiritual, physical, material and financial. We see that in the life of the nation of Israel.
«And the Lord had given the people favour in the sight of the Egyptians, so that they granted them what they requested» (Exodus, 12: 36)
When God gave favour to the children to Israel, in one day they took away from the Egyptians an enormous amount of silver and gold.  For 400 years the Israelites had worked in Egypt as slaves; they were mocked and oppressed. However, in one moment the favour of God restored to them everything the Egyptians were holding back from them. In a blink of an eye they were made rich.
«He also brought them out with silver and gold, and there was none feeble among His tribes» (Psalm, 105: 37).
It was God’s favour that ensured the financial wellbeing of Israelites. That is one of the things God’s favour gives us. We need it so much. Even Jesus needed the favour in order to excel with God.
«And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and men» (Luke, 2 : 52).
Favour is your heritage in God. It is written:
 «For You, O Lord, will bless the righteous; with favour You will surround him as with a shield» (Psalm, 5: 12).
Do not lose this wonderful heritage from God! Today be grateful to God for the blessings He surrounds you with and the favour He crowns you with as a shield. Receive His blessing in that sphere of your life where you seem to experience stagnation, and you will see God’s movement and breakthrough. May the Lord bless you!Till tomorrow! Pastor Rufus Ajiboye

  • Sacrifice as a measure of love! III

    It is not hard to love God – simply think about Him, think about what He does for you every day, and your natural response will be gratefulness. Worshipping God will become a natural thing for those who think about Him and His works. God loves you very much. But, if you live and at the same time do not think about Him, do not see what He does for you, it is hard for you to sacrifice; particularly – it is hard for you to sacrifice your busy daily schedule, your finances, your time, your comfort, because you do not think about Him.

  • God changing us through discipline

    I believe that discipline is one of God’s tools that help us to change and achieve effectiveness in our personal lives and ministry. Every one of us has a dream or a goal for our lives. But however good or grand these plans or desires are, discipline is a necessary prerequisite for these things to come to pass. Many ideas and desires never come true because people lack discipline.

  • Jesus was constantly seeking the God´s will for His life

    Reading the Bible we see how Jesus was growing and being filled with wisdom, and the grace of God was upon him. Jesus was constantly seeking the God´s will for His life, in order to set a good example for us. If Jesus had got to know God´s will using His divine nature instead, He wouldn´t have set a role model to us nor we wouldn´t be able to follow his steps today. Jesus stayed longer in the Temple after the feast of Passover in Jerusalem while other people had already left for home (see Luke 2:41-51). What was Jesus doing there and why did He stay longer in the Temple? He stayed there to listen to the scribes and to question them. That´s one of His secrets where His wisdom came from. Jesus studied the Scriptures. He attended the Temple and asked questions, prayed and leaned closer to God, His Father.

    Jesus humbled Himself and was obedient unto death. And for this very reason God exalted Him and gave Him the name above every other name. Jesus having taken a form of a man demonstrated us how we should behave. Jesus Christ came to the earth to help us see how we can exercise and display the authority of God in our lives in order to fulfil the calling and mission that God has given to every person.

  • Responsibility as a Key to Success!

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 6 minutes
    Why is it important to be a responsible person?One of the reasons is that the level of authority and power is directly related to how responsible you are. Even if you seem to have authority with people, but you treat life lightly, it is highly probable that soon enough you will lose your standing with people. And it applies to all settings: whether it is church, family, business or individuals. Responsibility, success and authority – all these phenomena are closely related. You cannot be successful and irresponsible at the same time.
