THE DEAD WILL RISE AGAIN: LIFE GOES ON FOREVER



THE DEAD SHALL BE BROUGHT BACK TO LIFE AGAIN AND LIFE GOES ON
Matthew 22:23 "The same day came to him the Sadducees, which say that there is no resurrection, and asked him,”  
   When a corn seed is planted, it goes into a process of complete decay and something amazing happens: out of the decayed material comes forth a new crop according to its genetic code. The genetic code did not die with the other parts of the seed. If it did something else would have emerged.  This is one of the many mysteries of life on earth and it gives us a clue of what happens at death.Resurrection means "to come alive again."
        Life is a cycle. Dan 12:2 TLB "And many of those whose bodies lie dead and buried will rise up, some to everlasting life and some to shame and everlasting contempt.” . Human beings consist of three parts - a spirit, a soul, and a body (1 Th.5:23). The body is mortal while the spirit and soul are immortal. It is just like a mobile phone which consists of three parts: a hardware, software and an invisible electromagnetic network. A destroyed handset does not mean the end of the designer’s software and the electromagnetic forces that power the phone. 
           At death, the body goes through the natural law of decomposition process and returns to its original earthly elements. On judgment day, the soul and spirit of the departed are summoned   from either it’s heavenly domain or domain of Satan and his disciples(hell). At resurrection, the material elements of the body are regenerated from the earth raised up and united with the spirit and soul. Each reconstituted personality will be identifiable and consistent with their historical earthly traits. Everyone comes back to life again and those who despised Christ will be eternally damned Rev 21:8 NLT” But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars — their place will be in the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death."
       Believing in the resurrection of Jesus Christ and accepting Him as lord and saviour guarantees one a life of joyful bliss eternally with a completely regenerated celestial, glorious, immortal, heavenly body thus completing the redemptive work of Christ on that individual   .
    Without the resurrection process  we are hopeless and most miserable of men and our faith is dead. It is the hallmark of the born again experience.(  1 Corinthians 15:12-17)  .The driving force behind the Christian life is born out of  the resurrected life of Jesus Christ transforming us in the course of time into the very image of God . You are being transformed from glory to glory even as we await that final day in hope .
As you read this now may the resurrection power bring healing to your body, relationship, marriage and freedom from every Satanic bondage 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...
