THE MAIN PURPOSE OF THE CHRISTIAN'S LIFE ON EARTH (PART 1}

 By Rev. Michael Benson Ajayi
       Mathew 4:19 Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men
         Jesus gave “the Great Commission” to all Christians. We are called to reconcile men back to God. The scriptures says in 2 Cor 5:18-19 TLB "All these new things are from God who brought us back to himself through what Christ Jesus did. And God has given us the privilege of urging everyone to come into his favor and be reconciled to him".
We were saved on purpose to fulfill a divine purpose . Jesus said in  Mark 16:15 TLB
" And then he told them, "You are to go into all the world and preach the Good News to everyone, everywhere.  Acts 1.8 NLT says  "But when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, you will receive power to testify about me with great effect, to the people in Jerusalem, throughout Judea, in Samaria, and to the ends of the earth, about my death and resurrection." The death and resurrection of Christ makes no meaning to a sinner until explained by the Christian and confirmed through signs and wonders by the Holy Spirit. Matt. 28:19,20, Lk. 24:47 Jn. 15:16
        Jesus sends all Christians as His labourers & witnesses to the entire world. No one is exempted. Ii is the reason for all the provisions in our lives. 
Isa. 6:8 Matt 9:37, 38, Lk 9:2, Jn. 20:21, Rom 10:14,15,  2Cor. 5:20.
              God commands  us without any options to tell others about our belief; Psa. 107:, Jn 3:11,  Acts 4:20, 2 Cor. 4:13.   To save souls from death; Pro. 14:25 Acts 26:18, James 5:20  There are consequences for not  sharing the gospel , part of which is the increase in crime rate of which some of us have become victims; Eze. 3:17-19, Mk. 8:38, Lk 12:8 ,9. 1Cor. 4:3.
      We should not be shy to share  the gospel but always ask God for boldness
Psa. 119:46, Isa 40:9, Isa 62:6b, Mat. 5:14-16, Mk 8:38 Acts 18:9b, Rom 1:16, Eph. 6:18-20, 1The. 2:2,  2Tim. 1:8a.
for the kingdom.
My commitment
Heavenly father, I make myself available to you as an instrument for witnessing.

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
