BLESSED WITH THE SAME BLESSING AS ABRAHAM

  


 By Rev Michael Benson Ajayi

'Through Christ Jesus, God has blessed the Gentiles with the same blessing he promised to Abraham, so that we who are believers might receive the promised Holy Spirit through faith." Galatians 3:14 NLTBible 

   The relationship between the believer in Jesus Christ and Abraham was consummated by the vicarious atonement for humanity by Christ's substitutionary sacrifice on the cross of Calvary . 

    This act of God's benevolence paved a way for those with Abraham's kind of faith to be declared righteous and adopted into Abraham's family . 

    We have the same rights and privileges as Abraham . The scriptures says God gave the promises to Abraham and his child. And notice that the Scripture doesn’t say “to his children, ” as if it meant many descendants. Rather, it says “to his child”—and that, of course, means Christ. For you are all children of God through faith in Christ Jesus. And now that you belong to Christ, you are the true children of Abraham. You are his heirs, and God’s promise to Abraham belongs to you."

Galatians 3:16‭, ‬26‭-‬26‭, ‬29 NLT

  You are blessed with faithful Abraham , this blessing nullifies the curse that comes from not obeying the laws of Moses . The scriptures says "But Christ has rescued us from the curse pronounced by the law. When he was hung on the cross, he took upon himself the curse for our wrongdoing. For it is written in the Scriptures, “Cursed is everyone who is hung on a tree.”  Galatians 3:13 NLT BIBLE .

You cannot be  blessed and cursed at the same time , James 3:10-11 says "Out of  the same mouth proceedeth blessing and  cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so  to be.  Doth a fountain send forth at the same  place sweet water and bitter?" God does not bless and curse  a person at the same time. 

    The only way a person can be cursed is by rejecting the gift of salvation while choosing to live by the laws of Moses " For all who depend on the Law [seeking justification and salvation by obedience to the Law and the observance of rituals] are under a curse; for it is written, “Cursed (condemned to destruction) is everyone who does not abide by all things written in the book of the law , so as to practice them .”Galatians 3:10 AMP

 Failure in one of the 613  laws attracts a curse according to Moses. Deuteronomy 27: 26 "Cursed   be he that confirmeth not  ALL THE WORDS of this  law to do them. And all the people shall say,  Amen."   and James 2:10 says " For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all. " and secondly by deliberately twisting the gospel for selfish reasons a person could attract a curse ,this is the lot of those who preach that the anointing of the holy ghost can be gotten through exchange with money (Acts 8:18-20).  Scriptures says in Galatians 1:8-9 "But  though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any  other gospel unto you than that which we have  preached unto you, let him be accursed. As we  said before, so say I now again, If any man  preach any other gospel unto you than that ye  have received, let him be accursed." We should avoid any teaching that is contrary to the truth that says we are already blessed with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places and God has given us everything that pertains to life and godliness .

  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 the Holy Ghost and power for excellence and sustainable development.

BREAK EVIL FAMILY PATTERNS

 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
