HOW TO IMPROVE ON YOUR PERSONALITY AND BE 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.This is the meaning of the holy communion. The disciples described it as hard sayings because it was contrary to what religion teaches.
They
had a carnal approach in their pursuit of God's righteousness. 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. An error does not translate into truth through the passage of time.
The carnal worship of God: through the usage of religious paraphernalia (church stickers, wrist bands, olive oil, communion wine, holy water etc) cannot bring about a positive change in the life of those who use them; they only make a person proud and a smokescreen for many to indulge in shameful deeds: a reason behind many failed marriages and businesses.. In Christ our deeds are exposed giving room for true healing. You cannot treat a 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 have grown to
accept as a true way of life. Rejecting truth leads to a life without peace.This is evident in many christian homes :lack of peace with relations is the effect of practicing man-made religious Christianity.
The born again experience is a life-changing experience :it 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 generates 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 carrying the truth of God’s word. This truth can only be
deciphered 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). 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 through an unhealthy pursuit of money, social influence, love ,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 receive Jesus Christ as your lord and saviour and read this now , receive grace for a glorious life in Jesus name.
