HOW TO OVERCOME THE FEAR OF LACK

By Rev. Michael Benson Ajayi

 YOUR DAYS OF LACK ARE OVER  
Matt 15:34 NKJV ”Jesus said to them, "How many loaves do you have?" And they said, "Seven, and a few little fish."
             God’s plan is for us to always have more than enough resources not only for our needs to be met but also for the needs of others to be met too. His blessing is upon us to multiply our resources .The scriptures say the blessing of God makes a man rich and it adds no sorrow (Prov 10:22).  As part of our salvation experience we are given grace for the multiplication of our resources: this is a supernatural endowment that increases whatever we place in God’s hands for our use and for the expansion of missionary work on earth.
              In Matt 15:32-37 the disciples where faced with the challenge of feeding four thousand persons and were overwhelmed when they looked at what they had : seven loaves of bread and a few little fish however, when these were placed in the lords hands in thanksgiving, the power for multiplication came upon those loaves and fishes and over four thousand persons where fed. The scriptures say in Matt 15:37 NKJV “So they all ate and were filled, and they took up seven large baskets full of the fragments that were left.” In John 6:1-12 we see the same miracle of multiplication of resources where over five thousand men where fed from five loaves and two small fish and there were leftovers the scriptures says in John 6:13-14 NKJV “Therefore they gathered them up, and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves which were left over by those who had eaten”. These two scripture reveal a very important principle in the working of the blessing for multiplication. God multiplies whatever is given to Him in faith and love. The fragments were not to be thrown away as even the smallest thing has the capacity to multiply when blessed. God does not condone wastage. We shouldn’t underestimate the blessing of multiplication; it adds value to whatever is committed to it.  
             In the Old Testament a widow’s food reserve was multiplied through Elijah when she offered to share some with the itinerant missionary (1 kings 17:8-15). A lot of people have missed out on their miracles by not acting in faith when God told them to. The reward for taking this act of faith manifests in marriages, healing, babies, security, businesses and jobs and ministry opportunities. The work of ministry requires a lot of resources to reach out to over 5 billion persons around the world; the lord is keen to multiply our resources for this very important purpose. If we can overcome the initial fear that Satan puts in our hearts as long as we are sure that its God’s instruction that we are following, we are sure to receive a reward for our act of benevolence done in love and not by coercion. God who miraculously fed 3 million Jews in the desert (Exodus 16), caused water to gush out of a rock to quench their thirst (Exodus17) , supernaturally destroyed inflation in Samaria  within 24hrs by a prophet’s pronouncement (2kings 7) can multiply your resources . It is better to depend on the blessing of multiplication than on the world’s failing economic system. In 1kings 17:13 Elijah said to the widow ‘do not fear’. Fear is Satan’s weapon to keep God’s people in lack .God has not given us the spirit of fear but of love, power and a sound mind to trust in His word which says in 2 Cor 9:8 AMP “And God is able to make all grace (every favor and earthly blessing) come to you in abundance, so that you may always and under all circumstances and whatever the need be self-sufficient [possessing enough to require no aid or support and furnished in abundance for every good work and charitable donation].You days of lack comes to an end 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...
