FREEDOM FROM UNENDING 'DELIVERANCES '

By Rev Michael Benson Ajayi
John 11:44 "And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with grave clothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith unto them, Loose him, and let him go."
           Lazarus' death is so unique in that God's plans for the resurrection of the dead in Christ was revealed in that moment to Jesus' followers. Jesus described Himself as being the resurrection and the life to his disciples (John11:25) prior to this event,  Jesus had earlier demonstrated His ability to raise the dead in ( luke7:11-16). The fact that we shall be resurrected after physical death is profound and it is the core of the Christian faith.
        The resurrection power of the risen and glorified Christ is already at work in the life of believers. It is evident in the various testimonies of miraculous restoration experienced by believers the world over. This is part of the benefits of the newness of life inherent in practicing the Christ-like life through faith.
        Like the death and resurrection of Lazarus, the spiritual rebirth did not include our emotions and physical bodies. Therefore, as we carry along the old ways of doing things into the new life in Christ they obstruct our growth and the manifestations of our potentials just like Lazarus’ ‘grave clothes’( they hindered his movement after resurrection) . 
       The ‘grave clothes’-mentality must be removed for us to enjoy the full benefits of the resurrected life in Christ (Gal 5:16-17). They are the habits mentioned in Galatians 5:19-21 “When you follow the desires of your sinful nature, the results are very clear: sexual immorality, impurity, lustful pleasures, idolatry, sorcery, hostility, quarreling, jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish ambition, dissension, division, envy, drunkenness, wild parties, and other sins like these…. anyone living that sort of life will not inherit the Kingdom of God.” These habits exist in us as thoughts that must not be followed through.
     When we received Christ, we crucified these habits on the cross with Him and are to daily declare that we are the righteousness of Christ for the new nature to fully manifest in us by faith. The qualities of this new nature are mentioned in  Gal 5:22-23NLT “.. the Holy Spirit produces.. in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. …..!” These are the ingredients needed for a long lasting and sustained manifestation of the deliverance power of Jesus Christ in our businesses, marriages, finances, relationships and communities. We achieve this by maintaining positive emotions in the face of negative circumstances. We are to think on things that are lovely, true and of good report. Negative thoughts beget negative attitudes.
      At salvation we experienced total deliverance from all satanic power and were translated into God’s kingdom beyond the reach of all evil forces (colossian1:12-13). We must believe this truth in God's word to be free from Satanic manipulations . There is no such thing as a born again Christian being possessed by a demon spirit or under a curse because of food. All foods (Physical or spiritual) belong to Christ( 1Cor.3:21-23)Satan is a liar.
You are beyond demonic control ,reject any doctrine that says otherwise (Luke10:19). Satan seeks to take control of our lives through false teachings that make him seem powerful, like that which suggests that every outbreak of pimples on our face requires special 'deliverance' prayers.
          Satan cannot dwell in the same body with the Holy Ghost (1cor10:21). A change of attitude by the Holy Ghost is indispensable to witnessing God’s power in our lives. He’ll only change what you ask Him to change in your life. 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 lord and saviour and receive  grace to walk in my deliverance consciousness and demolish the strongholds of the enemy  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
