YOU ARE NOT A FAILURE

By Rev Michael Benson Ajayi 
Col.1:27" To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:" .
        The greatest miracle a person can ever experience is when he or she receives Jesus Christ as lord and saviour .At salvation our spirits became one with the Spirit of the living God through Jesus Christ: it is the greatest thing that could ever happen to a person. Before salvation we were alienated from the Spirit of God and were at the mercy of fallen spirits and were aliens to the God type of life through our ignorance (Ephesians 4:18)
            But when we received the gospel in to our hearts, our spirits experienced a rebirth, the scriptures says in Titus 3: 4-6 "But after that the kindness and  love of God our Saviour toward man appeared, Not by works of  righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy  Ghost;  Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our  Saviour;"  The rejuvenation of the Holy Ghost is like charging up a phone with drained batteries, our conscience (God consciousness) comes alive afterwards losing appetite for the former shameful life of sin because of the rebirth of our spirit. This loss of appetite for sin  and our zeal for righteousness is enough proof of the new life in Christ.
       It was He who created the universe (Jn 1:3, prov.30:4) and He declared Himself the son of God and the Messiah of the world ( Matthew 16:15-17, Mk 14:61,62, John 9:35-38) evil spirits worshiped Him as the son of God ( Matthew 8:29,Lk.4:33,34,41) . He acknowledged His divinity (John10:30), He is the Word of God that controls the universe.
        Jesus acknowledged Jehovah as His Father meaning He came from the Father: and just as a person's speech emanates from within Him and carries the same authority of the speaker (John 1:1-3). Jehovah speaks and Jesus is the speech emanating from Jehovah, He spoke the mind of Jehovah and would only do as Jehovah directs.  Jehovah is His Father ( source or origin) in John 5:17" But Jesus answered them,  My Father worketh hitherto, and I  work." He and the Father are one and the same person just as a man's speech and the man are one and the same person. If a speech was transmitted through a telephone to a distant land, it will carry the same authority and power of the speaker. The religious folks  could not understand this simple truth and sought to kill Him, they never new that God cannot be killed, you may destroy a mobile phone by slamming it on the ground while receiving a call that does not mean you destroyed the caller, Jesus is a type of God's extraordinary mobile phone given to humanity , the scriptures says in John 5: 18 "Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he  not only had broken the Sabbath, but said also that God was his  Father, making himself equal with God (Jn 8:54)". The same way the world hates Christ  today.Jesus declared Himself equal with the Father. He said in John 5: 20 "For the Father loveth the  Son, and sheweth him all things that himself doeth: and he will shew  him greater works than these, that ye may marvel." meaning He has the same ability as the Father.
            God anointed Jesus with all power and authority to execute judgment on earth (Mk 1:27, Luke 4:16-21) The anointing on Jesus is unlimited, likewise that upon the sons of God (John1:12) The anointing is the Holy Ghost and He does not exist in measurable sizes as though He can be put in containers ,that is why there is no such thing as a more anointed man or woman of God. The power of God is the same : failure to understand this truth exposes us to satanic manipulations and exploitation. When we cast out demons in the name of Jesus Christ, it is the voice of the All-powerful Father demons respond to when we pray, not ours. The Father anointed Jesus with power in Acts 10: 38 "How  God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power:  who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of  the devil; for God was with him." likewise he has annointed the born again christian( John15:16)
      For as many that have received Jesus as their lord and saviour, the same power and authority the Father gave to Jesus is given to them. The scriptures says in John 1:12 "But as  many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of  God, even to them that believe on his name: " We have received divinity that is why demons are afraid of us but unfortunately a lot Christians do not know this and move to and fro in search of power, suffering terrible things  in the hands of evil forces . The Apostle Paul was so conscious of his rights as a son of God to the extent that demons left their victims at the appearance of apostle Paul (Acts 19:15) he knew he had access to the unlimited anointing of God through Christ , Ephesians 2: 18 says " For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father" Jesus said in John 16: 15 "All things that the  Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and  shall shew it unto you." therefore He has unlimited power likewise the believer in Christ. Paul by this revelation discouraged the tendency by Christians to worship persons being used by God ,in 1 Corinthians 3:21-23"Therefore let no man glory in men. For all things  are yours; Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or  life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are yours;  And ye are Christ’s; and Christ is God’s. " Therefore, it is not proper to say in the name of "the God of Rev.Michael " as though you are a lesser son of God. God calls this carnal and corruption in 1cor 3: 4" For while one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I  am  of Apollos; are ye not carnal?  Who then is Paul, and who  is Apollos,  but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every  man?". Meaning, we all have access to the unlimited power of God therefore, you cannot be a failure . 

Prayer : Heavenly Father, forgive me of my sins, I believe Jesus Christ died and was raised again on the third day for my salvation. I declare Him lord and saviour and receive grace for extraordinary breakthroughs in Jesus name.
