GIVE NO ROOM FOR THOUGHTS OF FAILURE



By Rev  Michael Benson Ajayi  
Prov 15:13 “ A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance: but by sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken. KJV
  The bible is referred to as the word of God or the gospel , it contains God’s plans for His family .The scripture describes these plans as thoughts of good , not of evil to bring us to an expected end and to give us a great future . God wants to walk with us in our walk of faith . We cannot work together with the spirit of God except we agree . Two cannot work together except they agree.
   God is all powerful and the ultimate situation changer , He can create something out of nothing , can turn a desert into a river , He is not limited by circumstances and so is anybody who believes in Him . All things are possible to all that believe in God’s ability to change circumstances therefore ,there is no room for failure in God . 
       The Christian with a success or victorious mindset sees breakthroughs in the face of crisis , they are not limited by negative reports . Negative minded persons are overwhelmed with stories of failures or inabilities. They are full of reasons to fail and the lord grants their hearts desire of failure in the face of breakthroughs . What you regularly imagine as yours convincingly is what you get . Make up your mind to see brown coloured cars and you will be amazed how many brown-colored cars are available . Same with thoughts of failure . A person with the mindset of failure always has a justifiable reason for not making progress and it reflects in all they do . The results in poverty and stagnation. 
       Those with a failure mindset  have a  tendency to take the most unfavorable view of situations, they always expect the worst outcome in life’s circumstances; they are synonymous with  looking on the gloomy and failed side of things.  This is why we engage in spiritual warfare to redirect our minds from the failing or negative mindset  to a successful,  positive perspective on life
        Positiveness is optimism; it is the mental exercise and self-discipline to always see and expect  the good in things; looking on the bright side and always anticipating favorable  conditions  and outcomes ; it is the state of being hopeful regardless of the present crisis.
 Whenever we accommodate  negative thinking in our hearts it hinders faith and only bears bad fruit. It results in a loss of appetite for God’s word and irritation towards our pastors and the church in general  . A negative- minded person lives to please the world’s failing culture and is opposed to God’s way of doing things . Their loyalty is divided between God and the world's system . It is the beginning of living in sin. Habitual thoughts of failure is the result of lack of love for God , one’s immediate and extended family and results in bitterness which is the foundation for marital infidelity and promiscuity .    
    It is impossible to think negatively towards persons we love  , 1 Corinthians 13:5 NIV “ It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.” Love keeps no record of failures .If you give room to thoughts of failures and negativity, you will be always be sad and known for  failure and negativity  (Proverbs 23:7a Proverbs 15:13b) Such persons are known for public display of failure and are quick to voice negativity wherever they go, Luke6:45 NLT  says “ A good person produces good things from the treasury of a good heart, and an evil person produces evil things from the treasury of an evil heart. What you say flows from what is in your heart.” 
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 savour and receive grace for advancement in the face of strong opposition in Jesus name . Amen.

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
