GOD WON'T DEMAND A 'MIRACLE -SEED' FROM YOU; IT'S BY GRACE (PART 2)



By Rev,Michael Benson Ajayi 
John 1:12 AMP  “But to as many as did receive and welcome Him, He gave the authority (power, privilege, right) to become the children of God, that is, to those who believe in (adhere to, trust in, and rely on) His name “
         The born again Christian has all the blessings of Jesus Christ dwelling in his or her spirit (center of consciousness) and nothing can be added to what God has already blessed us with. 2 Peter3: 1 says we have been given everything needed to live a fulfilled life and this is achieved through the knowledge of who we are in Christ.Note the tense of the word ‘given’ used in that scripture; it is not futuristic but in the now and present continuous..
          Therefore, if we have been given all blessings , which other blessing are we seeking for? The word blessing in (Eph1:3) is better appreciated from its meaning ,its the Greek word  ‘eulogia’ which means : fine speaking, commendation , adoration; benediction; by implication, consecration; by extension benefit or largess. The born again Christian is consecrated and adorable before God and a benefactor of all that belongs to God , therefore, we are not trying to be holy and acceptable before God , we already are.  
          Therefore , you must not follow a particular religious leader (so-called Fathers or Mothers of Faith) in other to be blessed as seen in many churches today , this exposes us to exploitation and leads to pride. Jesus paid for every miracle you would ever need :they are yours right now, you must not give a ‘miracle seed ‘ to anyone to receive  your pregnancy, job, finances etc.  We are warned against seeking for blessings like the old testament folks did in their ignorance. 1 Cor 3:21-23 NLT says “So don't boast about following a particular human leader. For everything belongs to you, the world, or life and death, or the present and the future. Everything belongs to you,  and you belong to Christ, and Christ belongs to God."
         Some persons have exalted their pastors, bishops , prophets above God’s word and believe that until they are prayed for by these human idols ,they can’t be blessed when all that is needed is faith in God’s word. They are told to ‘sow a seed’ in other to receive a miracle meanwhile , when the bible speaks of ‘seed’  it is referring to receiving the word of God into your heart .Luke 8:11 says that ‘the seed is The Word of God’. Therefore , if you are looking for a miracle , seek to know what God's word says about the situation and meditating long enough until there is peace in your heart and your miracle will come to pass.
        Reference is often made to Isaac sowing seed in Gen . 26: In this case, it was a literal seed like corn , millet, wheat , based on the seed of God’s word received by revelation. He did not give money or some landed property to a prophet as often misinterpreted . Another , reference often used is that of Isaac instructing his son Esau to give him a particular meal in other to receive a blessing  Gen 27:25 KJV “And he said, Bring it near to me, and I will eat of my son's venison, that my soul may bless thee.” The phrase ‘may bless thee’ is the Hebrew word  ‘barak’ it means to kneel; by implication to bless God (as an act of adoration), and (vice-versa) man (as a benefit); it also means to curse as the consequence of treason. 
          This event took place before the Old Testament's law, there was no written word of God , therefore , God’s promises where transferred  from parents to children and an aging , ailing Isaac wanted to be in a good health to pass this information to Esau as it was passed unto him by his father Abraham.  New Testament believers  are blessed with the blessing of Abraham through faith in Jesus Christ (Gal3:13-14)and we have the word of God engraved in our hearts and we have the bible , therefore, due diligence( through in-dept research of scriptures) should be made to know our rights and privileges and walk in them by faith, 
         God is against the theology of ‘seed sowing’ being preferred over character development. A Godly character  of love and selflessness is to be preferred above offerings (Eccl5:1) ,obedience  is better than sacrifice (1 sam.15:22) for all things are possible to those who believe .We should pray against anxiety to avoid falling into the enemy's trap remembering there are persons who have received greater breakthroughs than what we desire of the lord by simply putting their trust in the lord.
             As you receive Jesus Christ as lord and savior and read this now, receive grace and wisdom for extraordinary progress 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...
