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 strengthen and refreshed as you meditate on this fresh word from God today. I want to conclude our discussion on staring ministry and life in the presence of God. There is one last thing I want to show you today as I conclude the 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 omnipresence 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, home and churches. The key word in this process is to love God. Even though God loves you, but 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 the 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 ye do not have time for His word, then you are too busy doing the wrong thing. Our ministry starts with spending time with God and in His word. That is what demonstrate and proofs that our true motive for ministry is love for God; that is what help us to serve others more effectively and that is what release His manifest presence to bless others as we serve them. The Bible states clearly that you should:
 “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly as you each 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” (Colosian3: 16-17).
As you spend time to put in His word, you will be able to admonish other 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 you are 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! Pastor Rufus Ajiboye

    I must note that ‘accountability group’ (small group, home group) is not the place where you only share your problems or weaknesses. Of course, accountability implies all of it. But if we only do that, then there is no time for instruction or feed-back, and then this group can turn into a place of gossip and slandering.Accountability group or Christian fellowship is the place of learning where we all strive to be more like Jesus. We do it through questions and answers, Bible study, prayer; we listen to each other and support each other.

  • Jesus as the example of a true minister

    We see that Jesus experienced serious difficulties in the days of His earthly life, but He did not focus on them. Jesus was busy serving the Father and those He was sent to serve. While Jesus served people, the Father made sure people ministered to Jesus; God met Jesus’ needs through His ministry.When we serve others, God motivates others to serve us. We always reap what we have sown. We do not serve people because we do not have any problems, – we serve people because it pleases God. And when we serve, despite the fact that we have problems, needs and concerns, God makes sure some people that we do not even know serve us by meeting our needs

  • What sin means?

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 4 minutes
    When a person does not submit to God’s Word and despises His instructions, he or she sins. God has particular plan or will for every area of person’s life and it is spelled out in the Bible. But when you life according to your own wishes and do not pay attention to what God says about it, then tragedies are inevitable. For some time it may seem that you have outsmarted God, but this deceptive feeling won’t last long. These people sat in darkens and the shadow of death; they were bound in grief because they did not submit to God’s Word and despised His will.«Fools, because of their transgression, and because of their iniquities, were afflicted. Their souls abhorred all manner of food, and they drew near to the gates of death» (Psalm, 107:17-18).

  • Discipline is one of the ways how God transforms His children into the image of Jesus Christ

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 5 minutes
    We can miss many important and useful opportunities in life if we underestimate what is going on in our lives. God’s discipline is one of these opportunities. Believers have a tendency to despise the discipline of their Heavenly Father. Yet in the Epistle to Hebrews The Lord is calling us to resist the wrong attitude of some believers towards God’s discipline. It says in the Bible: « My son, do not despise the chastening of the LORD, nor be discouraged when you are rebuked by Him» (Hebrews, 12:5). The believers that are focused on comfort usually are indifferent towards the truth of God disciplining them. Some of them aren’t even bothered by their sins or irresponsibility. People like that want to be blessed by God, yet they despise God’s discipline. The Bible also tells us that punishment is profitable for us and not God.
