GOD IS NOT ANGRY WITH YOU, REJOICE


GOD IS NOT ANGRY WITH YOU
John 5:24 "I tell you the truth, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be condemned; he has crossed over from death to life. NIV
     Jesus Christ suffered the punishment for our sins when God placed all His anger on Him on the cross, a necessary act of justice so that we may be free from the consequences of real evil. There is no reason why we should suffer for them anymore. The price for sin( past,present,future) has already been paid for by Jesus Christ and all he asks of us is to receive His redemption through our  faith in Him as our Lord. He is the only person with the power to do this haven subdued death and sin.
       One day humanity will be judged by God through Jesus Christ and the wicked will be separated from the righteous and cast into the lake of fire ( Rev.21:8). On the day of His crucifixion the world was judged guilty of sins and Jesus suffered our punishment because the law allowed for a scapegoat that could represent humanity on the cross and at the same time Satan was judged guilty for leading a rebellion against God ( John 12:31) "Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out."

      Sin has eternal consequences and no one can avoid the judgment without faith in Jesus Christ. Those who reject Christ will be held liable for all the wrong they committed as a result of their sinful nature .This is unlike those who through faith in Jesus, do not have a sin nature ( confirmed by a living righteous conscience)  in their spirit regardless of their shortcomings in the flesh and therefore, will not receive the payment of eternal damnation .
      Physical demise is characteristic of the sin nature (i.e. sickness, depression, fear, etc.) and is as a consequence of the spiritual death in our flesh. Adam lived for 930 years later (Gen. 5:5) after he was told that he would die the day he ate the forbidden fruit(Gen2:17): his eventual physical death was a by-product of his spiritual death.   It is like when a phone battery begins to die , though one charges it often yet would it not be able to store electrical charge . However, if connected to an electrical source it will power the  phone. Likewise the spirit is alive through Christ but the body dies because of sin..At salvation, it is the human spirit that is reborn, not the body. This spirit never dies and will be given a glorious body on the resurrection day just as a seed must die and decay when planted before a new plant emerges.   
    In Christ we are given eternal life as a gift (something that is bestowed voluntarily and without compensation; a present). We have nothing to do with earning this gift. All you have to do is receive it by faith. You are not bound to any evil ancestral, territorial, and occultic bondage because all your spiritual debts, past, present and future has been paid for in Jesus Christ, Its time to declare" I am free. !!! 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...
