HOW TO IMPROVE AND BUILD A STRONG LOVE-LIFE

By Rev Michael Benson Ajayi

Luke 10:2-3  "The harvest is great, but the workers are few. So pray to the Lord who is in charge of the harvest; ask him to send more workers into his fields” 
        Rebellion by children is a response to the stimuli of rejection. Most of us carry the scares of rejection in our lives and if not properly healed could spill over to the lives of our children. Hurting people feel it is normal to hurt others, most cases of abuse are traceable to a history of abuse common among victims of rejection . Only God can heal a broken heart only if we allow Him to.
     Most persons have adapted to the life of rejection by building a shield around themselves to minimize the pain from rejection. They never commit fully to any relationship out of fear of being rejected and this affects their relationship and fellowship with God, the result is a world were heartbreak and abuse has become a norm with  far reaching consequences which includes an increase in substance abuse, breakups ,suicide and lots more. The effect of heartbreak and rejection is no respecter of persons likewise is God’s  unconditional love .The scripture says God so loves the world, that it includes you ( John3:16).
     Adam and eve introduced rejection into the world when they turned their backs on God’s unconditional love for Satan’s ways of self-preservation. Self-preservation requires going into a relationship for selfish reasons. This is the bane of all heartaches. Through Jesus’ love ,the world is being healed by the power of God’s unconditional love.
       Every believer in Christ should have a passion for souls. God does not force His love down the throat of anyone neither would He coerce anyone into preaching the gospel of His unconditional love against their will. We are expected out of the urgent  need to heal a dying world requests to be used by Him . The gospel is to be thought experientially with personal testimonies attesting to the power of the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ as a demonstration of God’s love for humanity and the provisions His unconditional love has made available to us .  
             The early disciples were driven by the love for God and demonstrated it through the zeal displayed in the spread of the gospel across the world at the risk of losing their lives . We are the light of the world. Experiencing the love of Christ causes us to be saturated with the fullness of God (Eph. 3:19) and makes us irresistible witnesses to the world.
     It was this love for God displayed by the early apostles that opened the hearts of men to them unlike the business or modern money- driven evangelical techniques being displayed in today’s  church.   We need to pray for the restoration of this love back into our hearts. Its is through the church that the love of Christ is experienced by the world. The world is not impressed by Christians rituals but by love demonstrated through the selfless Christian life John 13:35 NIV  “By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another."
        As we surrender are hearts willfully  to the Holy Spirit,  we become instruments through which His love is displayed to the world, Rom 5:5 NLT “And this hope will not lead to disappointment. For we know how dearly God loves us, because he has given us the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts with his love. “ Through the Holy Ghost we can love people whom many consider as unlovable  without fear and by so doing our hearts are fortified against emotional hurts . As you read this now, receive healing wherever you hurt as you make a commitment to share the gospel of God’s love 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....

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 wa...

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...
