RECEIVE STRENGTH TO GO THROUGH TRYING TIMES

By Rev. Michael Benson Ajayi
Heb 11:11 KJV “Through faith also Sara herself received strength to conceive seed, and was delivered of a child when she was past age, because she judged him faithful who had promised.
    Sarah had been without a child for over fifty years of marriage. It is every woman’s dream to bear children immediately after marriage. She refused to give up on her faith in God despite her frustrations. 
      In anxiety we pray expecting a pleasant outcome and seldom consider all the variables and governing principles of life, but sometimes despite our best efforts and righteous deposition events do turn against our expectations. We may not be able to change circumstances but we can choose how we respond to them . You can either be miserable or be happy while anticipating a desirable change.Some of the fails in our lives were God's plans to save us from a major disaster.
        The scriptures says in Hab 3:17-19 TLB “Even though the fig trees are all destroyed, and there is neither blossom left nor fruit; though the olive crops all fail, and the fields lie barren; even if the flocks die in the fields and the cattle barns are empty,  yet I will rejoice in the Lord; I will be happy in the God of my salvation.  The Lord God is my strength; he will give me the speed of a deer and bring me safely over the mountains.” it is clear from this scripture  that businesses , marriages ,ministries , finances , economies will not always yield desirable results , they may even fail totally ;  however, we are enjoined not to put the blame on God giving that He alone has the power to save us (2Cor.12:9)but rejoice and find ways to be happy.An easy way out of grief is reciting a psalm ,giving alms ,speaking and singing in tongues and fellowship with other optimistic believers.
      As odd as this may sound it is possible only if like Sarah we judge God as being faithful to His promises. Without doubt, there are persons you may know who were once in worst circumstances but the lord pulled them through and He is sure to do the same for you. Sarah had been a witness to the God’s ability to deliver through the events in her husband’s journey of faith. It is easier to trust God when you are in the right company: (Psalm 1:1-3) strength to conceive life–changing ideas emanates from being around happy people of faith and in due time you will scale the mountains of life’s circumstances like a young deer. Regardless of how complicated and overrated your dreams are be rest assured that with God all things are possible only if we believe. And He sure going to make all things beautiful in His own time. As you receive Jesus Christ as lord and savior and read this now ,receive strength to overcome the obstacles standing against your 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.

 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...
