A COMPLETE PACKAGE IN OUR REDEMPTION

  


By Rev Michael Benson Ajayi 

Romans 8:3 "For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:"

   1John 3:5' And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin.'

  Religion has no cure for sin . It places emphasis on acts of  repentance , John the Baptist preached the message of repentance .The Bible says Luke 3:3"  And he came  into all the country about Jordan, preaching the  baptism of repentance for the remission of sins;,'

   If you had to travel to a particular mountain to pray before you can be forgiven  your sins and be blessed , what will become of you if you were incapacitated by sickness or injury or you simply could not afford to like the cripple fellow who had no one to help him get into the healing waters in John 5:1-9 .The  demands of religion made it impossible for him to receive the blessing of being healed until Jesus came on the scene. 

     John 5:8 "Jesus saith unto  him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk.  9 And  immediately the man was made whole, and took  up his bed, and walked: and on the same day  was the sabbath." Jesus simply told him to break the law of the Sabbath ( it came with a death penalty Exodus 31:15 ) to be healed . God is more interested in blessing his people and not the promotion of any religion (see John 4:6-24) God is spirit and wants to be worshipped in spirit and truth not through religious rituals .

   The man was healed that moment to the glory of God. Healing is part of the package in our salvation through the redemption . Under the new dispensation salvation is complete . We are sanctified : made holy without the observance of the 613 laws of Moses just like the man who received healing without observing the law of the Sabbath. The bible says in Ephesians 1:4 "According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:" You are holy and without blame before God because of the sanctifying power of the blood of Jesus Christ . 

  You are justified (Greek:dikaioō to render innocent before God) . The thief that was crucified along with Jesus Christ was told  in Luke 23:43 "And Jesus said unto him,  Verily I  say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in  paradise." This man  received the full package of redemption without fulfilment of any religious rituals . He was given an express ticket to heaven through the blood of Jesus Christ.

    Romans 8:30" Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified."  All have sinned and fallen short of God's glory but in Jesus Christ all glory is restored . Glory  (Greek doxazō  : it means to cause the dignity and worth of some person or thing to become manifest and acknowledged) . Glory also means to be excellent and worth celebrating and empowered to work miracles   : that is our position before God. Hallelujah. The bible says in 1 Corinthians1:30" But of him are ye in Christ  Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and  righteousness, and sanctification, and  redemption:'

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 healing 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
