You make room for Him and His Word in your daily schedule

ByPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 4 minutes

Dear friends!
Welcome to our daily word for Spiritual strength. I hope you have been enjoying this daily word. It is my prayer that you will be strengthened and refreshed as you meditate on this fresh word from God today.
I want to conclude our discussion on starting ministry and life in the presence of God.
There is one last thing I want to show you today as I conclude this topic. And this will be a lesson from the teaching of Jesus Christ Himself in the book of John 14:21:

“Whoever has my commands and obeys them, he is the one who loves me. He who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love him and show myself to him.”

According to the above passage, there is a process or protocol we need to follow if we want to see and experience the manifestations of God in our lives and in ministries.
Now it is true that God is an omnipresent God. He is present everywhere at the same time. However, it is important to note that his presence is more real and felt in some places than anywhere else. What determines such a big difference? This is what I mean when I say we need to follow a protocol. Following the right protocol is what differentiates between the intensity of God’s manifest presence in our lives, homes and churches.
The key in this process is to love God. Even though God loves you, the only way you can experience and enjoy more of His love is to love Him and spend more time with Him and in His word.
Spending time in the presence of God will make His presence more real to you. When we spend time to love God, then we will experience His love in our lives.
Let us see God’s message to us from our passage of the day.
To love God means to have His command. I hope you understand that His command is the same thing as His Word. We cannot love God without His Word. Your love to God is measured by your attitude to His word. You must spend time to fill your heart with the word of God if you truly love God. If you do not have time for His word, then you are too busy doing the wrong thing.
Our ministry starts by spending time with God and in His word. That is what demonstrates and proves that our true motive for ministry is love for God; that is what helps us to serve others more effectively, and that is what releases His manifest presence to bless others as we serve them.
The Bible clearly states that you should:

 “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom, and as you sing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God. 17And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him” (Colossians 3:16-17).

As you spend time to put in His word, you will be able to admonish others with all wisdom and do everything you do to the glory of God.
Jesus continues to say that it is not enough to have His commandments if we love Him. To love God is to have His commandments and obey those commandments.
It is to those who love Him enough to know and obey His commands that Jesus promised to show Himself.
Have you qualified yourself for the manifestation of God, or are you too busy to do that?
God’s word for you today is that you make room for Him and His Word in your daily schedule.

Have a wonderful day!

  • Our life is a product of what we see IV

    There are two options for the future. First option is what I call the predictable future. We must carefully look at our past and present. When thinking of the future we must realize that if we don’t change the things we do every day then it will be easy to predict our future, – the future won’t be any different than the present. If we do not make any changes today, then tomorrow we will have the same results; we will live in the same conditions, if not worse.

  • 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.

    We concluded that we are hands, feet, mouth and heart of our God. If we refuse to collaborate with God, He will not be able to act or fulfil His plan in our cities and our countries. We stopped at what do we have to do in order to witness spiritual revival filling our cities? To make it happen we must become obedient disciples of Jesus Christ. God uses this kind of people to fulfil His prophesies and restore His will on Earth.Obedient disciple is one who moves and works for God, not sitting and doing nothing, so God can move through such person.

  • Life is a trust

    You should understand there is nothing that belongs to you. Your life itself is not yours, it’s a trust God has shown to you. Understanding this truth changes the way you respond to what is going on around you.You do not live for yourself; you did not appear on this Earth by your own act of will or for your own personal purpose. God has given life to you as a sign of His trust for you. You are entrusted with life from God and the day will come when you will have to give account to God for the life He given to you, – for all your deeds and words while living in your body.
