THE CURE FOR SINS (PART 1)


Rev.Michael Benson Ajayi
Psalms 51:5 NLT "For I was born a sinner— yes, from the moment my mother conceived me."
 This scripture teaches that the human sperm cell : the seed that grows into a human being in the womb of a woman is tainted  with the sin virus. This virus induces an inclination to rebel against God's laws . Humanity got infected by the virus when our first parents (Adam and Eve ) ate the forbidden fruit (symbol of God's authority) thus  paving the way for idol worship or animism : man-made  religion. They turned a tree into their god.
      Ever since that unfortunate incidence, the human gene pool became corrupted. Nobody learns how to sin, we sin by default. The first lie we ever told as children and the selfish tendencies are the effects of the sin nature. It is for this reason that the scriptures says in Ecclesiastes 7:20 NLT "Not a single person on earth is always good and never sins." The so-called "holy master", prophet or prophetess, oracle,mystic  is much of a sinner as their neighbour. They have simply perfected the art of concealing sins .
     We are sinners and like sheep have gone astray (Isaiah 53:6) it is not in us to obey anyone, rebellion is the order of the day because of the nature of Satan in the heart of man (Ephesians.2:2) Sin is the worst kind of sickness, it is likened to insanity. It hinders us from doing that which is right.  Romans 7:14-15, 17 NLT says "So the trouble is not with the law, for it is spiritual and good. The trouble is with me, for I am all too human, a slave to sin. I don’t really understand myself, for I want to do what is right, but I don’t do it. Instead, I do what I hate. So I am not the one doing wrong; it is sin living in me that does it." This means we do not even have the capacity to keep God's laws. The fellow who says he or she does not fornicate or covet what belongs to others but has the appetite for these sins is as guilty as the person who physically engages in such adventures.
         The scriptures says in Romans 2:1-3 NLT "You may think you can condemn such people, but you are just as bad, and you have no excuse! When you say they are wicked and should be punished, you are condemning yourself, for you who judge others do these very same things. And we know that God, in his justice, will punish anyone who does such things. Since you judge others for doing these things, why do you think you can avoid God’s judgment when you do the same things?" No one is exempted, Jews  (religious) and gentiles( non-religious) alike are sinners before God (Rom.3:9-12,22-24)There is no difference, for all have sinned and fallen short of God’s holy and glorious standards ." Physical involvement in a sin is the same as mental involvement in the same sin; Matthew 5:28 NLT says "But I say, anyone who even looks at a woman with lust has already committed adultery with her in his heart."
      What is often taught as righteousness by mystics and religious schools is physical restrain . If physical restrain is righteousness then the most righteous persons on earth should be those with total body paralysis . While the religious man looks at the physical manifestation ,God sees and judges the evil imaginations of our hearts, 1 Samuel 16:7 NLT says "But the lord said to Samuel, “Don’t judge by his appearance or height, for I have rejected him. The lord doesn’t see things the way you see them. People judge by outward appearance, but the lord looks at the heart.” therefore , as long as there is the appetite for sin  in the heart of man ,  he remains guilty before God.
       We were born with that appetite and it cannot be cured by engaging in transcendental meditation , pilgrimages, fastings  or any other so-called spiritual exercises that many  engage in to become righteous. If these spiritual therapies were effective then there should not be repeated  sacrifices for sins such as fasting, praying ,meditations, incantations , pilgrimages etc,  The presence of these activities is proof that  the consciousness of sin abides in us and if heaven (the highest level of spiritual enlightenment ) is pure with no room for sin then no mystic or religious person has any hope of entering heaven given that breaking one of God's law is tantamount to breaking all of His laws ,the scriptures say in James 2:10 NLT "For the person who keeps all of the laws except one is as guilty as a person who has broken all of God’s laws."
     Prayer : Heavenly Father forgive me for my sins against you I believe Jesus Christ died and was raised again for my salvation ,I receive him as lord and saviour and receive grace to overcome the works of unrighteousness 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...
