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! Pastor Rufus Ajiboye

    Ask God for grace to arrange your life for effective praying. Be honest with yourself today. Is your prayer life effective, or it has turned into fruitless routine? Maybe your really do not have any prayer relationships with God? You alone can answer these questions. We often talk of prayer; we hear of prayer. It makes us think that we know what prayer is. But do we practise praying? We know that prayer is necessary for our spiritual life, just like air is necessary for our physical life. We must be enough diligent and disciplined to pray.

  • Calling forth convincing and irrefutable proof

    Many people expect miracle in their life and sometimes the waiting continues many years. I want to help you today to see that we should not wait for a miracle to come, but we need to call forth and cause these miracles. Any miracle that a person desires to experience in his life can be brought about by this person. It is possible that the miracle won’t come right away, but when you build the necessary (natural) platform for it, it will absolutely come into your life. And when it happens you will have undeniable proof for your faith and trust in the Lord.

    We must keep God’s call to change right before our eyes as one of the most important goals. As soon as we come to God and enter His Kingdom, the desire to change and grow into the likeness of Jesus should be our single desire and our daily bread. And when we start changing, the things around us will change along with the inward changes we experience. Then the most awful situation will change for better and terrible problems will be solved. All of this will happen along with the transformation of our character in the process of the spiritual growth.

    «But let us, since we belong to the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and, for a helmet, the hope of salvation. For God didn’t appoint us to wrath, but to the obtaining of salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him.».We have already talked a lot about the role of faith and walking in love last time. Today we begin to discuss the role of hope of salvation. We need faith today. By faith we possess peace today, regardless of what is happening around us. By faith we enter God´s rest even nowadays.

    Was the favour of God accidental in Mordecai’s life? No way! Favour is released and operates according to particular laws. One of these laws is the law of sowing and reaping. If you will be consistent in sowing favour and mercy into the lives of other people you will be sure of favours coming into your life at the very moment you need it the most.
