LIVING OUT THE LAW OF LIFE IN CHRIST.


By Rev Michael Benson Ajayi 

"for it is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure."Philippians 2:13 NKJV

 Jesus Christ's death on the cross marked the end of the law of Moses as a pathway to the attainment of righteous standing before God. " For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes."Romans 10:4 NKJV . 

   Believers in Jesus Christ are no longer bound by the rigid law of Moses. The Bible says  " For sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under law but under grace.

" Romans 6:14 NKJV we are liberated from the law , the Bible says  

" Therefore, my brethren, you also have become dead to the law through the body of Christ, that you may be married to another—to Him who was raised from the dead, that we should bear fruit to God. But now we have been delivered from the law, having died to what we were held by, so that we should serve in the newness of the Spirit and not in the oldness of the letter.," Romans 7:4‭, ‬6 NKJV

   Jesus' Spirit of truth  in us gives us freedom  "Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is , there is  liberty." II Corinthians 3:17 NKJV

 This liberty  comes from meditating on the  words of Jesus Christ contained in the holy Bible. Constantly meditating on the word's of Jesus Christ liberated the soul . The Bible says  " But he who looks into the perfect law of liberty and continues in  it, and is not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work, this one will be blessed in what he does. " James 1:25 NKJV

  "The Lord's law is to love God and our neighbor. The Bible says " For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” Galatians 5:14 NKJV

  This requires doing deeds in pure unselfish love are lawful  . "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law." Galatians 5:22‭-‬23 NKJV  

   Only Jesus Christ can give a person the power to live  by his law because it is stricter than the law of Moses. For example , it says love and pray for your enemies ( Matt5:38-45) . The Bible says " I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." Philippians 4:13 NKJV  and " For the love of Christ compels us, because we judge thus: that if One died for all, then all died;II Corinthians 5:14 NKJV 

    Prayer Heavenly Father forgive me of my sins against me I believe Jesus Christ died and was raises again for my salvation I receive him as lord and saviour and the holy ghost and power for the healing of the sick 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
