YOU SHALL FLOURISH IN THE MIDST OF STRONG OPPOSITION

 By Rev. Michael Benson Ajayi
1 Peter 2:9KJV " But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:
     The word 'marvelous'   in this scripture is the Greek word 'thaumazo' it means 'to have in admiration' and 'darkness' is a word which means 'shadiness'. God's plan is for you to experience prosperity in a world bedeviled with economic woes and confusion caused by shady dealings .You  shall  set the standard in business ethics for others to follow . You are trophies of God's grace and signs of His benevolence.
        Jacob experienced this in the hands of a treacherous master Laban who did everything possible to undo Jacob but instead he thrived, flourished and made gainful progress in adversity. The scriptures says in Gen 30:43KJV "And the man increased exceedingly, and had much cattle, and maidservants, and menservants, and camels, and asses"he thrived in the midst of economic inflation and adversity  A prosperous Christians is a threat to the world's corrupt system , the prosperity of the righteous frustrates the works of evil men. 
       Similarly, Isaac was in a country that experienced extreme lack and instead of fleeing , God told him to remain and caused him to flourish (Gen:26) .Prosperity isn’t a function of geographical location but our covenant relationship with God. The period of scarcity brings about fear,misery, hopelessness and uncertainty to those without an understanding of the covenant of prosperity that exists between God and His people through Jesus Christ.
       Instead of panic in times of adversity, we should turn to God's word for directions. He is behind the shaking of the world’s economy and it is for our common good( Hag.2:6-8). He promises to rescue you and make you a sign and a wonder to other nations. Some of the most extraordinary scientific discoveries will emerge from the church during the time of scarcity.I am a living witness to this , God gave me an idea to manufacture one of the most advanced cleaning compound the world has ever seen .He will do something great through you too. Scriptures says in   Zechariah 8:13 (NLT): "Among the other nations,… Now, I will rescue you and make you both a symbol and a source of blessing. So don't be afraid. Be strong, and get on with rebuilding the temple!" You shall be a source of financial help to others by reason of covenant prosperity as long as you remain committed to spreading the gospel.
    Daily declare your immunity to the economic inflation because He says in Job 5:20, 22 (NLT): " He will save you from death in time of famine…” because of your faith in Him, He also promises in Psalm 33:18-19: to deliver your souls from death, and to keep you alive in famine." Your future is bright child of God, Psalm 37:18-19 says : you will have more than enough [ more than is needed] during famine. As you make Jesus Christ your lord and saviour and read this now receive grace to  advance and grow vigorously, Prosper, flourish, succeed and breakthrough 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...
