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 Ajiboy

    The Bible states «A man’s spirit will sustain him in sickness, but a crushed spirit, who can bear?» (Proverbs 18:14). Satan wants to hit our spirit via hardships, trials and problems. When your spirit is strengthened, you can overcome any kind of weakness, get through all kind of hardships and trials. So how can we strengthen our spirit? God´s word and His promises strengthen our spirit and overcome weakness and sufferings. In order to not give up, we need to learn how to lean on the word of God and His promises – fully and unconditionally. We have to learn God´s faithfulness and realise that God will never forsake us unless we abandon Him ourselves.

  • How can we experience God in our life?

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 6 minutes
    Studying the Bible we see God doing great feats through many people. He was able to realise His intentions using those people just due to their revelation and understanding of God´s key principles. While living in the different times, educated on a different level, belonged to the different cultures all Bible heroes basically have something in common. The secret of the success and feats they had is obvious – they knew God and interacted with Him. They experienced God´s power and His mercy in their lives. How did they succeeded? It became possible because they dedicated themselves to God. That´s exactly what God is inviting us to do.

  • How to develop a habit of prayer in our life?

    «Thanks God, I already have such habit». I am glad about you. The other might say «I´ve already tried, but failed to do so”. I am glad about you too.I pray today, so that this Word helps you to overcome your weakness and instability solving this issue.First of all, I want to stress out the fact, that prayer is love relationships with God. Why do I mention that and why it´s so important when you try to make prayer as your habit. We already discussed it, that prayer is not learning of different methods about how convince God to do our will. Lack of necessity to pray is one of few reasons why believers pray just a little.

  • Do not be afraid to work; do not be afraid to sacrifice your time to the Lord! II

    Don’t be ashamed of what you have. God has given you those particular talents for you to multiply them, not to hide them. Do not waste your strength on hiding from your calling. Let your talents be visible to others. The talents you possess do not actually belong to you; they belong to the Lord. So, if you are ashamed to use them, it means you are ashamed of the Lord Himself.
