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!

    We are still talking about the blessedness of ministry and giving. We discussed that the one who loves God always serves people. Whoever serves people is blessed and exalted by God. God can’t support those that are only concerned with their own well-being and does not have any time for the promotion of the Kingdom of God.Ministry and giving determines the measure of one’s spiritual growth and maturity. It also determines how much I bear a resemblance to Jesus Christ. God wants us to grow spiritually. One of the indications of one’s spiritual growth is how he or she fulfils the needs of others. Such a person not only takes and receives, but also gives. Giving and ministry is one and the same word that determines how much of resemblance to Jesus Christ I bear.

  • But he who endures to the end shall be saved!

    The question arises why so many people start their walk with God but turn aside in one of the crossroads of life; they turn back to where they came from. It reminds me the story of Jewish people. For a long time this nation was in slavery in Egypt. They were burdened by hard work with no payment. The nation of Israel cried out to God, and God delivered them and brought them out of Egypt. They had to walk to the Promised Land. Every day they were getting closer to it. There were difficulties on their way; they had to flee some wrong things, avoid making wrong decisions, wrong relationships; they had to overcome grumbling and complaining. Israelites had to obtain more and more knowledge of God while heading towards their Promised Land.

  • Changes mean working hard persistently II

    While growing up and changing we will see how we become more patient. Patience is a fruit of the Spirit God wants to be visible in your life. Therefore, God sometimes permits conflicts in your life, to help you with developing the fruit of patience. God desires to trample our pride thus transforming us into likeness of loving, persevere Christ. You are still arrogant if you show resentment at nonsense. God desires to help you to get rid of this arrogance. That´s why He allows people to do wrong to us. God is trying to teach us how to handle such situations, so that we are able to build relationships with people as His representatives on this Earth. Everything God permits in our life works together for good if we let Him mould us.

    We all follow up our dream. It is built within us to pursue our dreams and do all we can to fulfill them. When we dream we awaken a desire within us that leads us to have the drive, passion and ambition to accomplish our dream. That is why people with dreams deploy everything within their reach to accomplish their dream. Godly ambition prompts a person to change.
