JUJU, CHARMS, VOODOO CANNOT ALTER YOUR PROGRESS AND DESTINY


By Rev.Michael Benson Ajayi
Eccl 11:3 AMP bible” If the clouds are full of rain, they empty themselves upon the earth; and if a tree falls toward the south or toward the north, in the place where the tree falls, there it will lie.”
     Superstitious  is defined as:  a belief or practice resulting from ignorance, fear of the unknown, trust in magic or chance, or a false conception of causation : it is an irrational abject attitude of mind toward the supernatural, nature, it can also be described as  a notion maintained despite evidence to the contrary” (Merriam Webstar Dictionary ) Superstitious  beliefs are the greatest hindrance to the development of underdeveloped countries . They militate against scientific discoveries and productive work ethics. Science is a gift from God to help us appreciate and harness the potentials of the universe.
      It is a gift of the Holy Spirit described as the ‘word of knowledge’ (1Cor 12:8). The word ‘knowledge’ is the Greek word  ‘gnosis’ which means scientific knowledge. This means Christians are supposed to be at the forefront of scientific discoveries. Most physical problems for which endless ‘deliverances’ are made can be easily solved scientifically. Through science we now know ‘ogbanje’  is sickle cell anemia and can better manage it with medications. 
      Unfortunately, many religious leaders promote superstitious theology above sound doctrine and their followers have become superstitious in all things (Acts17:23). This kind of teaching deprives followers from having a loving one-of-a-kind personal relationship with Jesus Christ .They are grossly suspicious of every friendly gesture . These preachers assume the position of go- between like the ancient African voodoo priests who claimed to be God’s spokespersons. God wants to be known by all without go-betweens because of the insincerity in man (John14:6,21,23). 
    The most popular of these superstitious theologies is that of the ‘planting of charms’ in locations only known by the juju priest or  ‘prophet’ who against Jesus'  instructions(Isaiah45:13,Matt10:8) often request to be paid before one can be 'delivered' . They claim 'juju' or charms' can hinder a person’s progress  .This is contrary to the scriptures which says idols (jujus or charms) are worthless (Hab.2:18-19,1Cor.10:19) The born again Christian is  immune to demonic  oppression (2Tim.1:7,Heb.2:14-15,Luke10:19). The activities of these superstitious preachers leads to widespread hatred ,irresponsibility and corruption in a society(Isaiah1:23-25).
  According to Eccl.11:3, an inanimate object such as that made of wood cannot hinder the  blessings of a child of God. It is what it is, like a fallen tree: DEAD. Job 5:6 puts it so directly” Job 5:6 “Although affliction cometh not forth of the dust, neither doth trouble spring out of the ground;” This means the failure of marriages , businesses, relationships, finances etc. can’t be attributed to a charm buried somewhere or a voodoo priest  invocations  Human misery is as a result of selfishness  (Gal 6:7-9) therefore, we should make conscious effort to be hospitable, just, fair and show benevolence on a daily basis. Most problems are caused by the lack of Christlike character. We should seek for mentors who will teach us the principles of success and not reject the discipline that comes with it. 
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 you receive grace to terminate every evil appointment against my prosperity 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...
