THE NEW LAW OF LIFE IN JESUS CHRIST.


 By Rev. Michael Benson Ajayi 

 "When God speaks of a “new” covenant, it means he has made the first one obsolete. It is now out of date and will soon disappear. "Hebrews 8:13 NLT  

“The day is coming,” says the Lord , “when I will make a new covenant with the people of Israel and Judah. “But this is the new covenant I will make with the people of Israel after those days,” says the Lord . “I will put my instructions deep within them, and I will write them on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people." Jeremiah 31:31‭, ‬33 NLT

  The death of Jesus Christ on the cross fulfilled and ended the laws of Moses ( Matt5:17) " For Christ has already accomplished the purpose for which the law was given. As a result, all who believe in him are made right with God." Romans 10:4 NLT

 The law came with a curse for anyone who breaks one of the 613 laws ‘Cursed is the one who does not confirm all the words of this law by observing them.’ “And all the people shall say, ‘Amen!’Deuteronomy 27:26 NKJV

. If you kept 612 and failed one you still will not enter heaven . A cursed person cannot enter heaven ,therefore, since nobody could fulfill the laws ,nobody could enter heaven through the law. 

   Jesus Christ took the curses upon himself and gave us his righteousness in exchange  (Gal3;13 ).  , Salvation is purely by grace, not by observing the works of the law. ( Rom3:28, Ephesians 2:8-9, Titus3:5) 

   A person cannot be partly saved or blessed or partly cursed . That is the situation with those trying to be saved by grace and at the same time by the observation of the laws of Moses . It results in delusion , identity crisis and psychosis . 

  Salvation cannot be partly by grace and partly by good works . ( Rom11:6)  Keeping the law of Moses is impossible and nobody can be saved by it ( John1:17) The Bible says " Therefore by the deeds of the law no flesh will be justified in His sight, for by the law is the knowledge of sin." Romans 3:20 NKJV

  It is impossible to avoid being guilty while trying to keep the whole law, this is the reason why religious folks always appear miserable and unhappy ,the burden of keeping the whole law deprives a person of the joy of salvation .This is a major source of marital failure among the religious .Jesus Christ took away religion and gave us a relationship with the father in its place . 

   The law was meant to show that we are sinners in need of a Messiah and grace. (Rom7:7, Rom3:19, Gal.3:25) The law could not cure sin , it also lacked the potentials to create a relationship with the heavenly father and so it had to be done a way with  (Rom8:3) the scriptures says " For on the one hand there is an annulling of the former commandment because of its weakness and unprofitableness,for the law made nothing perfect; on the other hand, there  is  the bringing in of a better hope, through which we draw near to God." Hebrews 7:18-19 NKJV  God wants to have a personal relationship with you .

Prayer : Heavenly father forgive me of my sins against you I believe Jesus Christ died for my salvation , I receive him as lord and saviour and receive the Holy Ghost and power to overcome guilt and condemnation 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
