HOW TO IMPROVE ON YOUR PERSONALITY AND BE MORE APPEALING

  By Rev. Michael Benson Ajayi           
  John 6:53 KJV “Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you.”
John 6:63, "It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life."
        Over 60% of Jesus' followers walked out on Him because He said that our spirit, not our flesh, is where our life comes from.The disciples described it as hard sayings because it was contrary to what  religion teaches.
            They had a carnal approach in their pursuit of righteousness with God. It involved ritualistic animal sacrifices and cleansing practiced for forty-two generations (Matt 1:17) ;it was over a thousand years of going through the motions. They failed to understand that longevity doesn’t translate to authenticity. A lie does not translate into truth through the passage of time.
        The carnal worship of God: through the usage of religious paraphernalia cannot bring about a positive change in the life of those who practice it; they only make a person proud. Man-made religion is a smokescreen for many to indulge in shameful deeds. In Christ our deeds are exposed giving room for true healing. You cannot treat concealed wound .
            Therefore, when Jesus said He was indispensable to them (just as food is to the human body) in their quest for true salvation, these religious folks became agitated because this kind of doctrine invalidates what they’ve grown to accept as a true way of life. Rejecting truth leads to a life without peace.
             The born again experience is a life-changing experience that cannot be faked. It is emotional, intellectual, argumentative, intuitive and undeniable . Lives are transformed for the good through this life transformation process where Jesus Christ exchanges your old life for His resulting in a loss of appetite for the old ways. 
              Many persons have actually been freed from their addictions to destructive tendencies after receiving God’s word into their hearts. They received a new kind of consciousness of righteousness, peace and joy. This new consciousness has an affinity for integrity, dignity, peace and virtuous living. 
         The word of God is of no benefit to the carnally- minded ; that’s why a lot of persons claim they cannot comprehend the bible. The bible is a physical container that carries the truth of God’s word. This truth can only be decoded in the human Spirit by the power of the Holy Ghost. Every letter in the bible was inspired by the Holy Ghost and is spirit and life (2Pet 1:21). It is like petrol and fire from the spark-ignition combustion engine of a car without which the vehicle cannot move. Our spirits are like the force produced by the explosive activity in the combustion chamber of a car.  When we receive the word it comes alive in our hearts and gives us the ability to live according to God’s will. That is why before Satan destroys a Christian, he will induce him or her to reject the sound teachings of God’s word. He does this by preoccupying us with those things we lust after like money, social influence, love and sex, food etc (Hosea 4:6, 1peter2:1, 1john2:16, James1:14) but when we turn to the Word, we are quickened (made alive, vitalized) by the Holy Spirit to accomplish great things and live a robust victorious life to the glory of the Father. As you read this now , receive grace for a glorious life 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...
