WATCH WHAT YOU SAY ABOUT YOURSELF; IT MIGHT JUST COME TO PASS

Rev. Michael Benson Ajayi   
         2 Kings 7:2 NKJV “So an officer on whose hand the king leaned answered the man of God and said, "Look, if the Lord would make windows in heaven, could this thing be? And he said, "In fact, you shall see it with your eyes, but you shall not eat of it."
                There was acute famine in the land of Samaria to the point of people resorting to cannibalism. And when they cried to the lord He sent His prophet (a symbol of divine authority) Elisha  to the rescue and by  the leading of the Holy Spirit he made this declaration in 2 Kings 7:1 NKJV “…Hear the word of the Lord. Thus says the Lord:'Tomorrow about this time a seah of fine flour shall be sold for a shekel, and two seahs of barley for a shekel, at the gate of Samaria.'"
       Elisha authoritatively said that the most expensive food item will be affordable to the poorest persons in the land within 24hours.This was an impossible task by man’s ability but with God all things are possible to them that believe.
         The king’s personal assistant attempted to make a mockery of the prophesy by saying except God opened windows in the skies and dropped food, this prophesy would be  nothing but a fairy tale. This assistant was definitely not acquainted with God’s way of doing things; he was driven by the principle of “seeing is believing” but God says we are blessed because we believe even when we haven’t seen( John20:29). The king’s assistant had limited vision of the Spiritual realm and had issues with pride.  Mockery is the language of pride and opens the door to disaster. 
         There must have been some other persons who might have had some  doubt just as this government official did but they never said a word against the prophet (2chron20:20). God holds us accountable for what we say about ourselves and the devil knows this too well therefore he often pressurizes us into making evil declarations over our lives when frustrated. It’s better to keep silent under such circumstances; the scripture says in Prov 21:23 NLT “Watch your tongue and keep your mouth shut, and you will stay out of trouble.” 
          Jesus said in Matt 12:37 NKJV “For by your words you will be justified and by your words you will be condemned." The word condemn is a Greek word ‘katadikazo’ which means to ‘adjudge against’. What it means is by what we say about ourselves things either works for us or against us. In 2kings 7:18-20 What the man of God said came to pass just as He said but the king’s assistant did not live to enjoy the breakthrough that God brought upon  Samaria.
          Satan and his demons have been stripped of all their power (Luke10:19,Col 2:15) and all power in the heavens and in the earth belongs to Jesus and at the mention of His awesome miracle working name ,every knee shall bow and this power is in the spirit of the born again Christian and released through the word of faith we speak (Phil2:9-11,Rom10:8) . Declare what God says about you and see it come to pass.

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
