  By Rev Michael Benson Ajayi The fire will be sent to purify the church . The Bible says in 1 Corinthians 3;10-15  " According  to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a  wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation,  and another buildeth thereon. But let every man  take heed how he buildeth thereupon. For  other foundation can no man lay than that is laid,  which is Jesus Christ.  Now if any man build  upon this foundation gold, silver, precious  stones, wood, hay, stubble , Every man’s work  shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare  it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire  shall try every man’s work of what sort it  is.  If  any man’s work abide which he hath built  thereupon, he shall receive a reward.  If any  man’s work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss:  but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.  "     This fire ...

  By Rev Michael Benson Ajayi    "Listen to me, you leaders of Israel!   You hate justice and twist all that is right.  You are building Jerusalem on a foundation of murder and corruption. Micah 3:9-10 You rulers make decisions based on bribes;     you priests teach God’s laws only for a price; you prophets won’t prophesy unless you are paid.     Yet all of you claim to depend on the lord. “No harm can come to us,” you say,     “for the lord is here among us.” Micah 3:11 Because of you, Mount Zion will be plowed like an open field; Jerusalem will be reduced to ruins! A thicket will grow on the heights     where the Temple now stands. Micah 3:12    Psalm 11:  3 "If the foundations  be destroyed, what can the righteous do?  The word 'foundation' is the Hebrew word  shâthâh it means a basis, that is, (figuratively) political or moral support: - foundation, purpose. The church of Jesus Christ st...

 By Rev Michael Benson Ajayi  " And it came to  pass, as he went to Jerusalem, that he passed  through the midst of Samaria and Galilee.  And  as he entered into a certain village, there met  him ten men that were lepers, which stood afar  off:  And they lifted up  their voices, and said,  Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.  And when  he saw them, he said unto them,  Go shew  yourselves unto the priests. And it came to pass,  that, as they went, they were cleansed. And  one of them, when he saw that he was healed,  turned back, and with a loud voice glorified God,   And fell down on  his face at his feet, giving  him thanks: and he was a Samaritan. And  Jesus answering said, Were there not ten  cleansed? but where are the nine?  There are  not found that returned to give glory to God, save  this stranger.  And he said unto him,  Arise, go  thy wa...

By Rev Michael Benson Ajayi " Let the people  praise thee, O God; let all the people praise thee.   Then shall the earth yield her increase;  and  God, even our own God, shall bless us.  God  shall bless us; and all the ends of the earth shall  fear him."  Psalm 67: 5-7    "When they heard the report, all the believers lifted their voices together in prayer to God: “O Sovereign Lord, Creator of heaven and earth, the sea, and everything in them—   you spoke long ago by the Holy Spirit through our ancestor David, your servant, saying, ‘Why were the nations so angry?     Why did they waste their time with futile plans?    The kings of the earth prepared for battle;     the rulers gathered together against the lord  and against his Messiah.’     Stretch out your hand with healing power; may miraculous signs and wonders be done through the name of your holy servant Jesus.”  ...

  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 of 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 th...

  By Rev Michael Benson Ajayi    "Saul and his men spared Agag’s life and kept the best of the sheep and goats, the cattle, the fat calves, and the lambs—everything, in fact, that appealed to them. They destroyed only what was worthless or of poor quality.    "When Samuel finally found him, Saul greeted him cheerfully. “May the lord bless you,” he said. “I have carried out the lord’s command!”   “Then what is all the bleating of sheep and goats and the lowing of cattle I hear?” Samuel demanded.   “It’s true that the army spared the best of the sheep, goats, and cattle,” Saul admitted. “But they are going to sacrifice them to the lord your God. We have destroyed everything else.”    And Samuel told him, “Although you may think little of yourself, are you not the leader of the tribes of Israel? The lord has anointed you king of Israel.    Then my troops brought in the best of the sheep, goats, cattle, and plunder to sacrific...

  By Rev. Michael Benson Ajayi   'But the  Spirit of the Lord departed from Saul, and an evil  spirit from the Lord troubled him. And Saul’s  servants said unto him, Behold now, an evil spirit  from God troubleth thee. Let our lord now  command thy servants, which are before thee,  to seek out a man, who is a cunning player on  an harp: and it shall come to pass, when the evil  spirit from God is upon thee, that he shall play  with his hand, and thou shalt be well.  And  Saul said unto his servants, Provide me now a  man that can play well, and bring him to me.  Then answered one of the servants, and said,  Behold, I have seen a son of Jesse the  Bethlehemite, that is cunning in playing, and a  mighty valiant man, and a man of war, and  prudent in matters, and a comely person, and the  Lord is with him.  Wherefore Saul sent  messengers unto Jesse, and said, Send me  Da...
