EVERYTHING BECOMES NEW AGAIN AND IT'S FREE



ARE YOU SICK AND TIRED OF YOUR LIFE .? TRADE IT FOR A NEW ONE IN CHRIST
"Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old things have passed away. Behold, all things have become new." 2Corinthians 5.17 Bible
      The very moment you receive Jesus Christ as lord and saviour , your old life and identity abruptly comes to an end and now everything is new in Christ. Everything from your old life (failures, heartbreaks, curses, hopelessness, rejection, slavery etc) has ended and all things have become new. It is likened to what happens when a woman gets married and changes her surname. She undergoes a radical transformation in status.
     The bible isn't talking about our natural life but our spiritual (the human rational soul -by implication- vital principle or mental disposition) life. It is like changing a mobile phone SIM card and software from an inefficient to a super efficient phone network, though the phone remains the same but there is an internal transformation leading to an increase in the phones functional value and potential.
       When we receive the free gift of salvation into our lives, there is a transformation that happens on the inside of each one of us. The same power that raised Jesus Christ from the dead gives new life to our spirit man when we become one with the body of Christ. At that very moment, our 'old nature' died, and a new life began.
          Despite this change in our status we may still struggle with remnants of our old ways, seemingly still alive and well in our soul. Old thought patterns, familiar false beliefs, etc. seem to want to control our minds.  While these struggles are real, in actual fact, they are just remnants from our former life and they are only as powerful as we make them be by agreeing with these thoughts.  We are however transformed into our new nature by the renewing of the mind by constantly thinking about life in the light of God's Word and His love towards us (Romans 12:1-2) we are not be conformed to this world's view any longer. Its very easy to know what to do when you ask yourself what will Jesus do if faced with the same situation we are in. The more we renew our minds the more His transforming power within us manifests His glory and power through us.
   May the consciousness of your status as a Joint-heir with Christ , a saved, sanctified , blessed, favoured, joyful , prosperous , peaceful, healed , fruitful ,victorious and indomitable child of God dominate your thoughts and manifest in your life as you read this now in Jesus name.

BREAK EVIL FAMILY PATTERNS

Image
 By Rev.Michael Benson Ajayi  Titus 1:12 -14 "One of themselves,   even a prophet of their own, said, The Cretians   are alway liars, evil beasts, slow bellies.  This  witness is true. Wherefore rebuke them sharply,  that they may be sound in the faith;  Not giving  heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of  men, that turn from the truth."       The church in Crete was in disarray and the apostle assigned Titus to go and put things in order . On investigation it was discovered the church suffered from a vicious cycle of evil family  patterns. They were not enjoying the fruits of the salvation experience . An example of evil family patterns is that of King David who defiled Uriah's wife ,murdered him and his son Absalom murdered his brother Amnon (2Sam13) dethroned him and defiled his concubines openly (2Samuel16). His son Amnon defiled his sister Tamar (2Sam.13) and so on yet David was the anointed of the Lord.     Many christians suffer evil family patterns ( repeated d

CONSEQUENCES OF LACK OF FAITH

By Rev. Michael Benson Ajayi " Be careful then, dear brothers and sisters. Make sure that your own hearts are not evil and unbelieving, turning you away from the living God." Hebrews 3:12 NLTBible  ' Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here, and look at my hands. Put your hand into the wound in my side. Don’t be faithless any longer. Believe!”John 20:27 NLTBible     Faith is the guarantee of the manifestation an unseen reality . It is the reason behind the hope we have in God and the fulfilment of his promises. It is the substance ( title deed) of things hoped for ,the evidence of things not seen (Hebrew 11:1) .The Bible warns against not having faith in God. Lack of faith is equal to calling God a liar and untrustworthy. This type of reasoning turns us into enemy's of God.    The gospel is so much under attack by the activities of faithless religionists . They plan to replace the holy scripture with humanistic dogma. The danger in this is the relative approach t

COMMON CAUSES OF DISUNITY.

Image
 By Rev Michael Benson Ajayi "Even some men from your own group will rise up and distort the truth in order to draw a following."Acts 20:30 NLT   "An angry person starts fights; a hot-tempered person commits all kinds of sin." Proverbs 29:22 NLTBible        Disunity is defined as : disagreement and conflict within a group. It is the greatest hindrance to the promotion of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Disunity creates an avenue for Satan to promote sin.       The causes of disunity are not farfetched ,they include : Unhealthy Crave for power or self- promotion. Whenever there is an unhealthy pursuit of influence in a family or group it results in resistance. Self-promotion gives birth to unfair practices and injustices. In Numbers 12: 1-15  Moses' sister Miriam and Aaron rebelled against him desiring to rule by force and in Numbers 16 :1-35 Korah led an insurrection against Moses desiring to be part of leadership. In both cases ,God was not pleased with the rebels
