THIS IS THE REASON FOR YOUR BLESSINGS



Rev. Michael Benson Ajayi
Matt 4:19 "Come, follow me," Jesus said, "and I will make you fishers of men." NIV
    Followers of Christ have been given the assignment of inviting those who have not  made a commitment to live for Christ into God’s kingdom. It is for this sole purpose that we receive answers to our prayers.  Jesus gave “the Great Commission” to all believers in Jesus Christ:
     The scriptures says in Mark 16:15-16 “ He said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the good news to all creation” .  NIV  , we also have a responsibility to tell them about the power of the  Holy Ghost: needed for a victorious Christian life , Acts 1:8 says  “But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.”  KJV ,  
        There are no exemptions to the preaching of the gospel , Jesus sends all Christians as His labourers and witnesses , the scriptures says in John 15:16 “Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you”  the full manifestation of our blessings is premised on our commitment  to the fulfillment of this mandate.
         God commands us without any options to tell the world about our belief;  the  scriptures says in  Acts 4:20 “For we cannot help speaking about what we have seen and heard."  Telling people about our faith strengthens their faith in Christ, we have a mission to save souls from eternal damnation ; Prov says  14:25 “ A truthful witness saves lives,  but a false witness is deceitful. “ Preaching the gospel brings about sanity in  society and  if we do not ,we would suffer the consequences with them. Corruption in society can only be cured through an ideological revolution that demands a supernatural change of heart : a loss of appetite for sin. This is only possible when people surrender their hearts to Jesus Christ; it goes beyond mere church attendance ; it  is a personal relationship with Christ.
     Placing more attention on membership of a particular Christian church or ministry and the pursuit of signs and wonders against a wholesome Christian character results in hatred ,marital infidelity, fear and corruption in society . Jesus said in Matt 12:39NIV "A wicked and adulterous generation asks for a miraculous sign!"
      God wants to work miracles through you (Isaiah 8:18) He turns miracle seekers into miracle workers.   The preaching of the gospel requires boldness therefore we should be filled with the Holy Spirit (2Tim.1:7) He gives us boldness and we should use all that has been given us to reach a hurting world.
 Prayer : Heavenly Father forgive me for my sins against you, I believe Jesus Christ died and was raised again for my salvation. I receive him as lord and saviour and receive grace and boldness to declare your words accompanied with signs and wonders 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

Image
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
