GOD WANTS YOU TO LIVE THE GOOD LIFE


By Rev. Michael Benson Ajayi
John 10:10 AMP "The thief comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance (to the full, till it overflows).
       The Greek word translated "life" here is "zoe" and it means life in the absolute sense, a life of abundance  , Jesus came to save us from hell and give us this "zoe" or God-kind of life in abundance- having more than enough of every good thing . The life in Christ is different from the physical life, it is a life satiated with God's goodness. We do not need to wait until we get to heaven before we enjoy this kind of life 
      Zoe life is presently at work in the spirit of every born-again person.It is however, hindered by the natural or animal character. This supernatural or Zoe life is made active whenever we disallow thoughts, emotions, or actions that are contrary to the Word of God (Gal.5.19-21) which is life ("zoe" in Jn. 6:63).
        The alignment  of our thoughts, emotions, and actions with the instructions of God's Word releases this "zoe" life from our spirits with undeniable manifestations in our bodies and souls affecting our environments as well. It is God's will that we live the good life , Eph 2:10 AMP Says." For we are God's [own] handiwork (His workmanship), recreated in Christ Jesus, [born anew] that we may do those good works which God predestined (planned beforehand) for us [taking paths which He prepared ahead of time], that we should walk in them [living the good life which He prearranged and made ready for us to live]."
       The Word of God is spiritual and can only be understood through the Spirit of God (1 Cor. 2:14). The personality and modus operandi of the Spirit of Christ  who governs spiritual truth is revealed in the Bible . It is the inerrant and inspired Word of God with perfect accuracy and it is through the daily meditation of God's word in the  Bible that we receive the Zoe life (Heb. 4:2). Daily meditation on God's word on healing has the capacity  to heal the sick, likewise , the words on prosperity can demolish the yoke of poverty in a person.  The revelation of spiritual truth in the Bible is what activates the zoe life by the Holy Spirit ,The Spirit (Holy Spirit) and the Word of Jesus (Jn.1:1) are one (1 Jn. 5:7).
   Prayer : Heavenly Father forgive me of my sins against you, I believe Jesus Christ died and was raised again for my salvation, I receive him as my lord and saviour and receive grace to live the good life in abundance and good health 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
