Will you become a person like Noah for your generation?

ByPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 3 minutes
Beloved children of God, I salute the ones reading “Daily Word for Spiritual Edification”. Today I want to share a lesson from Noah’s life. Let’s focus on God’s Word.
„And the Lord was sorry that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart. So the Lord said: “I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth, both man and beast, creeping thing and birds of the air, for I am sorry that I have made them.” But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord.” (Genesis 6:6-8).
The word I would like us to ponder upon is very simple: But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord. What special thing had Noah done that he had gained this grace and favor in the eyes of the Lord? What character traits had Noah shown at the time when God was getting ready to destroy the whole world and everything He had created? What traits is God looking for in a human being, in a leader, so that the will of God would be fulfilled on the earth and so that His creation would be preserved? Only Noah and his family were kept alive after the great flood had come upon the earth. It was through Noah that life on the earth was maintained and continued after the flood. What character traits is God looking for in people so that they could be used by Him just like He used Noah? I would like you to notice three things in the life of Noah that the Scripture talks about.
„This is the genealogy of Noah. Noah was a just man, perfect in his generations. Noah walked with God.” (Genesis 6:9)
  1. Noah was a just man. 2. Noah was a just and perfect man in his kin and his generation. 3. Noah walked with God. When God finds a man like that, He establishes His covenant with him.
„But I will establish My covenant with you; and you shall go into the ark – you, your sons, your wife, and your sons’ wives with you.” (Genesis 6:18)
A person that can be used by God and trusted by God to do everything that is needed does not necessarily have to be a person with great talent and ability or a special physical gift. God uses and trusts a person that is able to hear God’s voice on a daily basis and follows the leadership of His Spirit. Noah was such a person. Noah had his weaknesses, but he walked with God. Noah was very close to God. And it was this walking with God that made him a just man. The righteousness of Noah was what qualified him for the work of God – for rescuing the human race from total destruction. This particular quality helped Noah to save the lives of his family members from unavoidable death. Today Noah is an example of a person that God desires to use. God is still searching for people who are just like Noah so that the world we live in can be changed for better. Today God is asking you: “Will you become a person like Noah for your generation?” Please, think about it today and may God speak to you. Be blessed!Until tomorrow! Pastor Rufus Ajiboye

  • Changes through Ministry III

    Ministry helps us to live for others not just for ourselves. When a person has a servant or serving heart, his life is focused on making other people happy instead of waiting on the other people to make him happy. Somebody with such an attitude and life position has no time for depression or for self-pity. His life is rather focused on searching for and helping other people who lives in poorer conditions himself instead of sitting around celebrating self- pity party. The person who understands the purpose of true ministry doesn’t live for himself, but his goal is to love God and to love other people.

    Today I’d like us to discuss about the life of Abraham. I believe God wants to show us some very important principles that can be gleaned from the life of Abraham and in his relationship with God. “Now the Lord had said to Abram: “Get out of your country, from your family and from your father’s house, to a land that I will show you. I will make you a great nation; I will bless you and make your name great; and you shall be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse him who curses you; and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.” (Genesis, 12:1-3)

    We all want more. We want our churches to have more people, but God – according to your ability – will give you what you can handle. God will be able to entrust you His blessings according to the level of your responsibility. For example, you are in a predicament and you think, „Why do I have to live through this?” But God knows that you can handle it. We often are not aware of how responsible or irresponsible we are, but God is. God knows the burden you are able to carry. You may think and say to yourself, «No, I am not able to bear this! I am not capable!» Until you actually go through it, you won’t be able to imagine what you are capable of.

  • The counselling IV

    Let’s talk about another quality Jethro possessed: he did not pressure Moses to accept his advice. We can see in the Scripture, which I would like us to look at:«If you do this thing, and God so commands you, then you will be able to endure, and all this people will also go to their place in peace» (Exodus, 18:23).We can see here that Jethro did not demand Moses to accept his advice, but gave him a chance to make a choice himself. The phrase “if you do this thing” means that even if Moses did not listen to Jethro, he would not be upset. So he knew he could not take it personally if Moses chooses a different way.
