JESUS CHRIST : THE WAY TO GOD THE FATHER

 


By Rev. Michael Benson Ajayi

" For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:" Romans 1:20 KJV

"For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves:  Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another;)Romans 2:14‭-‬15 KJV

   Most of what is outlawed in the Holy scriptures  are a taboo in ancient African custom and law. African tradition believes in the existence of a supreme personality before whom a person is accountable. Before the arrival of christian missionaries , Africans communicated with God in ways taught by their ancestors which involved interpretation of the unknown from the known according to Romans 2;1. 

  This was how Abraham and Noah whose ancestry can be traced to Adam worshipped God (Gen15) , there were no churches , Bibles, Torah , Qur'an . They were guided by Truth expressed through the human conscience (the image of God) . Truth is absolute and universal. 

  Before Jesus' ministry, man was guided by the law of Moses and the law of the human conscience . They were valid before God ( Rom2:14-15) but now that Jesus has come and preached repentance  and judgment , it has become necessary for a shift from the old to the new (  Acts 17:16-31) . Judgment can only be executed by a personality who is an embodiment of Truth . This person must be sinless and all benevolent ,all powerful able to reward , save, justify, vindicate and condemn. This person must have the quality of the Almighty God. The bible describes the son of God in this light in Isaiah 9: 6 'For unto  us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the  government shall be upon his shoulder: and his  name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The  mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of  Peace." His name is Jesus Christ .

  Since there cannot be more than one Truth, or Almighty God, then of necessity therefore, must be one embodiment of Truth : Christ or else there would be chaos in the universe. Truth determines values and meanings. 1+1 must equal 2 in all aspects of existence , if not science will seize to exist and the universe as we know it . 
  It is against the backdrop of the absoluteness of Truth that Jesus Christ is described as The way to God " One mediator between God and men.." (1Tim2:5) Jesus said " I am the way ,the truth ,and life ,no man comes  unto the Father , but by Me"(John14:6)
The Bible says " Neither is there salvation in any other : for there is none other name..whereby we must be saved (Acts 4:12)
  Jesus Christ has the power to give eternal life John 5:26; John3;16; John6:48,50,51, Rom6:23 . God loves  us if we love Jesus Christ (John14:23-24 , John 16:27 ) and those that hate Jesus  Christ also hate God . When we  receive Jesus Christ God dwells in our hearts (1Jn 4:15) and God's children will hear Jesus' voice and follow him . (John5:23;John 10:3,5,27) and persons denying Jesus Christ do not have the father in their hearts( 1 John 2;22-23)
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 to win souls into God's kingdom 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
