THE PURIFICATION OF THE TABERNACLE

 


By Rev. Michael Benson Ajayi 

JOB 15 :34 "For the congregation of hypocrites shall be desolate, and fire shall consume the tabernacles of bribery." 

   “Not everyone who calls out to me, ‘Lord! Lord!’ will enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Only those who actually do the will of my Father in heaven will enter.  On judgment day many will say to me, ‘Lord! Lord! We prophesied in your name and cast out demons in your name and performed many miracles in your name.’  But I will reply, ‘I never knew you. Get away from me, you who break God’s laws.’Matthew 7:21‭-‬23 NLT

   The above scripture teaches that it is possible that a person could  work miracles and yet not enter heaven . There are persons who do not believe in Jesus Christ working miracles in the scientific world  . Medical marvels occur everyday through persons who do not believe in Jesus. Miracles are not only particular to Christians , animists ,magicians work miracles too. Clairvoyance ,which is the ability to see the past , present and future is common amongst mystics and witchcraft practitioners too.

   It is misleading to say the prevalence of miracles in a ministry is proof that God approves of it . The Bible says "... So God will cause them to be greatly deceived, and they will believe these lies. Then they will be condemned for enjoying evil rather than believing the truth". 2 Thes 2:8-‬12 NLT 

This scripture says God can empower or enable a person to believe in false prophets because they refused to follow the truth of the gospel. 

   This is common amongst those the Bible describes in Job 15:34  as hypocrites and of the tabernacle of bribery . 

  The hypocrite lives to impress others , the bible says " Don’t be selfish; don’t try to impress others. Be humble, thinking of others as better than yourselves."Phil2:3 NLT

The hypocrite says he is more privileged, favoured of God than others ,  but "..God has no favorites "Col3:25  . The bible says “Everything they do is for show. ."Matt 23:5 NLT and   ‘These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me.

Matt 15:8 NLT. They appear outwardly good, but wicked inwardly ( Matt23:5,27,28, Lk18:11,12) 

   Hypocrisy thrives on bribery , their ministries are built on the proceeds of bribery .The word bribery  Job15 is the Hebrew Word 'Shachab' it means donation , gift, present, reward. The tabernacle of bribery teaches that a person can only partake of Jesus' free gift of grace through unending donations to religious leaders. The main objective of the tabernacle of bribery is the promotion of bribery in  society . They never preach against bribery and corruption . This is behind the failure of the civil services which is the main engine of governance; resulting in many deaths . 

   God is against unending donations in Christian meetings ,it is major source of hindrance to the spread of the gospel .It results in marital and business failure . It is why over seventy percent of the congregation live below the poverty datum line ,this is contrary to the what is prescribed in Acts 2:45; the bible says none lacked in Acts4:34 -35. Promoters of bribery are in danger of not entering heaven Amos5:12, 1Sam 12:3, Isa 35:14-15 . God does not need a bribe to bless you. Matt10:8, Eph1:3. 

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 stand for the truth .

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
