THE FATHER IS GREATER , YET EQUAL WITH GOD

  

By Rev Michael Benson Ajayi 
God works by faith calling things that be not as though they were . Faith comes by hearing and so God speaks to himself as seen in Genesis 1:3,6,9, Humans also speak to themselves .  God is not dumb therefore he speaks through His Word ( Christ)
God speaks from his mind . 
    His Word (Christ)  is the express image of his thoughts. His Word (Christ) is always  in him before he speaks. His word is always connected to him and is as powerful as he is though can only speak as God speaks.
His word was made in an incorruptible human format so man could better relate with God given that God is all powerful and no human can withstand the  fullness of his presence. Therefore , the human manifested Word of God is an economic manifestation of God designed by him to fulfill prophesies and the demands of his law.
When he spoke directly on the mountain during the time of Moses the mountain caught fire .
The bible says  “You came near and stood at the foot of the mountain, while flames from the mountain shot into the sky. The mountain was shrouded in black clouds and deep darkness. 
 And the lord spoke to you from the heart of the fire. You heard the sound of his words but didn’t see his form; there was only a voice. " Deuteronomy 4:11-12
The question that arises is how can Jesus Christ be equal with God and yet claim that the father is greater than he ? This is the problem the religious folks of his time and now had ( John5:18, Phillipians 2:6)
CHRONOLOGICAL MANIFESTATION OF GOD'S WORD
    Before God speaks , the word is first in his mind. That makes the father greater than his word in precedence , meaning without the Father speaking there will be no Word. This is what Jesus Christ meant when he said  "  Remember what I told you: I am going away, but I will come back to you again. If you really loved me, you would be happy that I am going to the Father, who is greater than I am. " John 14:28 
    The Father is greater in chronological precedence as seen in the  Greek meaning of the word :Greater ' (meizōn meaning elder) , just as the writer of the text you are reading now is one with the text yet greater than the text in chronological precedence ; if I do not type the text will not text itself . Likewise , the word cannot speak by or of himself except the father speaks.

    He is with his word and is one with his word.
The word proceeds through a mouth ( your godly conscience and Jesus Christ) 
The 'word' can only say what God says from his mind . 
As God speaks in his mind his word echoes his thoughts through Jesus Christ ( his mouth) 
The mouth only speaks as God speaks in his mind and can only do what God permits in his mind. Yet the mouth of God , his word are one and the same person.
 When we pray and speak God's word we have all of heaven's backing therefore, we should not be afraid but have faith
Prayer : Heavenly Father forgive me of my sins against I believe Jesus Christ died and was raised again for my salvation I receive him as lord and saviour and receive power to confront and conquer the enemy in Jesus name. Amen.

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
