Our God is a living God, He wishes his children to be alive through His Word, ready for every good work.\r\n\r\nFor a few days we have been discussing the importance of our surrounding. As it was said, your friends greatly determine whether you enter your destiny God has prepared for you or you don\u00b4t, whether you fulfil your purpose from God or you don\u00b4t.\r\n\r\nLooking at Abraham and Lot we noticed that\u00a0Abraham had not been able to hear the voice of God and see the promised land unless Lot was separated from him. Then he began to hear the voice of God again and continued to develop his vision.\r\n\r\nLot was Abraham\u00b4s relative, but it\u00b4s not necessary to build a friendship based on your kinship. If you and your relatives go the same way, it\u00b4s great, thank God for that! Though, if your relatives are like a brake or an extinguisher that puts out the fire of your consecration and determination, then it\u00b4s better to love them at a distance just as Abraham did with Lot. Abraham helped Lot even after they had been separated from each other but it happened at a distance.\r\n\r\nTo sum up, a person consecrated to God builds friendship based on his or her purpose and consecration to God spending more time with those who follow the same way as him. Look at the relationships between Jesus and His disciples.\r\n\r\n<strong>Jesus rejoiced in the Holy Spirit, when disciples returned with joy, saying, \u201cLord, even the demons are subject to us in your name!\u201d<\/strong>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h6>\u00abThe seventy returned with joy, saying, \u201cLord, even the demons are subject to us in your name!\u201d He said to them, \u201cI saw Satan having fallen like lightning from heaven. Behold, I give you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy. Nothing will in any way hurt you. Nevertheless, don\u2019t rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.\u201d In that same hour Jesus rejoiced in the Holy Spirit, and said, \u201cI thank you, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you have hidden these things from the wise and understanding, and revealed them to little children. Yes, Father, for so it was well-pleasing in your sight.\u201d\u00bb.\u00a0(Luke 10:17-21).<\/h6>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nJesus rejoiced with all His heart, because He saw the God\u00b4s will was fulfilled. Meanwhile, He corrected His disciples, stressing what should be the real subject to rejoice. He said:\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h6>\u00ab\u2026nevertheless, don\u2019t rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven\u2026\u00bb<\/h6>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nThere are many things that make people joyful and that\u00b4s great. However, Jesus pointed out that His disciples joy should rather be based on the goals and values of the Kingdom of God. Being glad about passing things is not the true joy, yet. The true joy comes when you can connect all the events of your life with fulfilling of the eternal purpose, one you are even ready to suffer for.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h6>\u00ab\u2026\u00a0let us run with patience the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. For consider him who has endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, that you don\u2019t grow weary, fainting in your souls.\u00bb\u00a0(Hebrews 12:1-3)<\/h6>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nGod bless you with good friends, those who can join you on your way towards your vision received from God and fulfilment of His will!\r\n\r\nSee you tomorrow!\r\n\r\nRufus Adjiboje, pastor","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"There are many things that make people joyful and that\u00b4s great.
