\u00abPraise the Lord! Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever\u00bb\u00a0(Psalm 106:1).<\/h6>\r\nMercy of the Lord has been renewed this morning for every one of us. God rules! God loves people who live on this earth! Today God saves, heals and delivers!\r\n
\u00abBehold, the Lord\u2019s hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; nor His ear heave, that it cannot hear\u00bb\u00a0(Isaiah, 59:1).<\/h6>\r\nGod loves every person. He has prepared an amazing destiny for every one of us. Each person is born for specific purpose. Every one has a calling, but only the Lord knows what that calling includes. When a person fully submits to the Lord, then He opens to this person everything that concerns his or her calling.\r\n\r\nJesus once told Peter to step out of the boat and walk on the water. Until then no person had ever done this, so people thought it to be impossible. Peter obeyed the word of the Lord and walked on the water, thus making it possible.\r\n
\u00abSo He said, \u201cCome\u201d. And when Peter had come down out of the boat, he walked on the water to go to Jesus\u00bb\u00a0(Mathew, 14:29).<\/h6>\r\nUntil that moment Peter could have not imagined that he could do something like it. Peter\u2019s obedience made it possible for Peter to accomplish something that seemed humanly impossible. Peter walked on the water, while the rest stayed in the boat. These people never walked on the water not because it wasn\u2019t possible, but because they were not obedient to God.\r\n\r\nWhen we obey God and do what He tells us, then impossible things become possible. Being obedient to God is difficult, sometimes painful; sometimes it implies suffering, but obedience always is rewarding.\r\n\r\nI never thought that once I will be able to stand before people and preach, because I was rather shy by nature, every very shy. But now I do it; I preach in different cities and countries. Today I preach to total strangers. God made it possible through my obedience to Him on a daily basis.\r\n\r\nGod has a calling for every person. When each one of us becomes the servant of the Lord and is obedient to Him on a daily basis, then it becomes easy for us to enter our calling. And you can see it when you read Jesus\u2019 parable about talents that we find in Mathew 25.\r\n
\u00abFor the kingdom of heaven is like a man travelling to a far country, who\u00a0called his own servants<\/u>\u00a0and delivered his goods to them\u00bb(Mathew, 25:14).<\/h6>\r\nGod calls those people that have given Him their lives and consider Jesus to be their Lord.\r\n\r\nWe talked about the fact that if we want to learn our calling and to enter it, we need to\u00a0be obedient to God on a daily basis<\/strong>,\u00a0as well as allow Jesus to become our Lord in all areas of our lives<\/strong>. Today I want to you to see that Jesus gave to every one of His servants according to his power or capability.\r\n
\u00abAnd to one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one,\u00a0to each according to his own ability<\/u>; and immediately he went on a journey\u00bb\u00a0(Mathew, 25:14-15).<\/h6>\r\nWe should not compare ourselves to other people or envy them if they have something that we do not have. It is wrong. God gives to everyone according to his or her ability and God makes us stewards of the talents He has given to us. There are people that are so much more talented than me; there are people that have a lot more understanding in certain matters than me. But I should not envy them; I shouldn\u2019t feel inferior to them, – because that is a lie from the devil. Unfortunately, many people have believed this lie; for this reason they lack confidence and are passive in the matters of the Kingdom; they believe that there are others, more talented that are doing what needs to be done.\r\n\r\nDo not let the devil deceive you! You are a unique individual created according to God\u2019s image and in His likeness. God has given every person unique talents that are crucial for the Kingdom of God. God has done everything for you to succeed in this life. But there is something you should do: you need to start using your talents, experience and all the other things that you have. God will never leave you! But remember that God meets half-way those who walks and acts!\r\n\r\nGod bless you!\r\n\r\nTill tomorrow!\r\n\r\nPastor Rufus Ajiboye","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u00abBehold, the Lord\u2019s hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; nor His ear heave, that it cannot hear\u00bb (Isaiah, 59:1).\r\n\r\nGod loves every person.
