CUSTODIANS OF THE MYSTERIES OF GOD'S KINGDOM

By Rev. Michael Benson Ajayi
Matt 13:11-12 KJV “He answered and said unto them, because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given. For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath.”
             The social construct of any people group is determined by the ideologies upon which that society is built . The instability in the society today is as a result of the deficiency of truth in what is commonly termed as wisdom in the world. Truth is absolute in nature and agrees with fact therefore, there shouldn’t be more than one interpretation to truth; for example one multiplied by zero should be zero regardless of whatever clime we find ourselves. Unfortunately, the religions of the world have different meaning to truth. What is true in one place does not hold water in another . This leads to a clash of interest and it’s the bane of the social upheavals the world over.
                The  impact of the world’s wisdom is described in James 3:13-15AMP “Who is there among you who is wise and intelligent? Then let him by his noble living show forth his [good] works with the [unobtrusive] humility [which is the proper attribute] of true wisdom.  But if you have bitter jealousy (envy) and contention (rivalry, selfish ambition) in your hearts, do not pride yourselves on it and thus be in defiance of and false to the Truth. This [superficial] wisdom is not such as comes down from above, but is earthly, unspiritual (animal), even devilish (demoniacal).” This demonic wisdom is behind the global security and economic crisis ,it seeks to kill, steal and destroy lives and properties.
       The wisdom from above is described in James 3:17 AMP “ But the wisdom from above is first of all pure (undefiled); then it is peace-loving, courteous (considerate, gentle). [It is willing to] yield to reason, full of compassion and good fruits; it is wholehearted and straightforward, impartial and unfeigned (free from doubts, wavering, and insincerity).” This wisdom is also known as the mysteries of the kingdom of God and has been given to the church of Christ. It is hidden behind the pages of scriptures and revealed to persons who seek God wholeheartedly, the scriptures say in Jer 29:13-14 NKJV “And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart.” 
      When a person receives Jesus as lord and saviour they automatically receive the spirit of wisdom . Jesus Christ is the wisdom and mystery of God (1Tim3:16) . 1 Cor 1:30  AMP says . “But it is from Him that you have your life in Christ Jesus, Whom God made our Wisdom from God, [revealed to us a knowledge of the divine plan of salvation previously hidden, manifesting itself as] our Righteousness [thus making us upright and putting us in right standing with God], and our Consecration [making us pure and holy], and our Redemption [providing our ransom from eternal penalty for sin].” Jesus is the Word and the wisdom of God personified.
               The mysteries of the kingdom are revealed through constant meditation on God’s word; this is what makes a person wise .2 Tim 3:15 NKJV says ”..  the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus”. The born again Christian is a minister of the gospel ( 2Cor.3:6) and stewards of the gospel of grace( 1Cor.4:1-2) it is our faithfulness in the sharing of the wisdom of God that would bring about global peace and prosperity and those committed to this mission will not lack any good thing.Prayer /counseling +234 809 853 6911,  +234 803 553 6911

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...
