STAND FIRM IN YOUR PLACE OF VICTORY

   



By Rev Michael  Benson Ajayi
 Ephesians 6:13 AMP ” Therefore put on God's complete armor, that you may be able to resist and stand your ground on the evil day [of danger],having done all [the crisis demands], to stand [firmly in your place].
 Exodus 12:22-23 “ Drain the blood into a basin. Then take a bundle of hyssop branches and dip it into the blood. Brush the hyssop across the top and sides of the doorframes of your houses. And no one may go out through the door until morning.”
   Faith always demands corresponding action in line with one’s expectation. The bible describes faith as the substance of that hoped for and evidence of that not seen . For example , the person who wants to produce ice blocks from a freezer  looks at the water in a cup but sees ice . To him the water in a cup and the freezer are the substance of the ice hoped for and the evidence of the ice blocks not yet seen . Armed with this information he proceeds to make ice from the freezer.
     Faith teaches that man has a role to play in every act of divine breakthrough. In Exodus 12 , the Israelites where given specific instructions to protect themselves against an impending plague.  The plague was the consequence of Pharaoh’s rebellion against God’s word. Rebelling against God’s word removes a person from God’s protective cover. This gives room for the enemy to strike.
    To protect themselves from the disaster, they were to mark the lintels of their homes with blood from the sacrificed animal (a type of Christ )  and by so doing they were protected from the plague . The governing authority then was Moses and his brother Aaron. Preservation starts with recognizing the ruling authority (Ephesians 6:1-2) , they are given to preserve history , maintain law and order  , provide for  and protect us from harm . 
     Their obedience to the ruling authority was all that was needed to save them . Haven prayed in the time of crisis we are to pay attention to the governing authority in the church and civil government. Through their collaborative effort we are saved from crisis.  There were Egyptians  and persons from other nations that were in those homes . They were saved by grace through faith in the power of the blood of the sacrificed animal . God does not reject those who sincerely seek for His help in the time of crisis . 
   They stood their ground in that evil day of danger having done all the crisis demands while trusting God to save them .  The law of conscience demands that we convince ourselves that we have done all that is humanly possible to survive as proof of our faith . Faith must agree with conscience to be active .
Prayer : Heavenly Father forgive me of my sins , I believe Jesus Christ died and was raised again for my sins , I receive him as lord and savior and receive the Holy spirit and grace and the seal of protection against disaster 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

COMMON CAUSES OF DISUNITY.

 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

CONSEQUENCES OF LACK OF FAITH

Image
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
