GOD DOES NOT CONDEMN YOU FOR YOUR SINS

By Rev. Michael Benson Ajayi.
         John 11:5 "Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus."JOHN 11:5
          It is common to see persons from dysfunctional homes being relegated to the background in our religious gatherings . Those at the forefront of our church activities are usually those we consider better organized  with good education and with good reputation in society .  Martha was the exact opposite of this  that’s why the scriptural reference of Jesus’ love for Martha is of great significance  in Luke 10:38-42  Martha had misplaced priorities , she was caught up with serving instead of devoting time to Jesus.
       In that event Jesus chastised Martha  for her own good. When the Lord points out our errors even when it hurts it is ultimately for our own good and it eventually brings out the best out of us  - We should  not consider it as an act of condemnation or  rejection. God convicts or disciplines us of sin but He never condemns us.'Condemnation' means to set apart for destruction .
        Discipline or correction  is solely for our interest  with no hatred or malice while condemnation includes punishment and hatred. Satan  is behind the condemnation of God's people and by the anointing of the Holy Spirit we can break the yoke of  rejection and condemnation. Whenever we are corrected we go through reorientation through the leading of the Holy Spirit through a positive affirmative approach to living a quality life in accordance with God’s will . He does this by projecting our good virtues thus encouraging us  to turn from self- abuse to a life of righteousness, dignity and truth. He does not condemn us for sin. The feeling of condemnation is from  the devil and leads to self -destruction. Our relationship with the Holy Spirit is the key to overcome guilt and condemnation ( Rom8:1-3 ).
        A speedboat cutting through a river at great speed eventually comes to a halt when the engine is turned off. Likewise, the law of sin and death is still at work, therefore, if a Christian shuts off the power of the Spirit of life through a loss of interest in the word of God and begins to walk in the power of his own flesh( selfishness) choosing rather to embrace a worldview, Satan will  eventually use the law of sin and death to condemn him and ensure he or she falls . It's not God who condemns us. Receive freedom from guilt and condemnation as you read this now 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...
