IT SHALL BE WELL WITH YOU



By. Michael Benson Ajayi

Mark 8:24-26 NKJV “And he looked up and said, "I see men like trees, walking." Then He put His hands on his eyes again and made him look up. And he was restored and saw everyone clearly.
        Jesus’ healing methods were a reflection of God’s love for us, they were very unconventional: He laid hands, prophesied and in this case used saliva therapy .He did not operate by any religious model or template. Each miracle was unique in nature and with a message ; the scripture says Jesus took the blind man out of town and spat on his eyes after which he asked to know if he could see, it took two treatments before the desired result was achieved. This is contrary to what is observed in many religious miracle arenas  were people are humiliated openly in the public domain and made a spectacle of with digital theater effects for the world's media ;  Jesus did all he could do to maintain the dignity of those he prayed for.
       The use of saliva was indicative of the informal and people oriented approach of the message of grace to humanity. Through this, he highlighted the potency of the born again Christian. Every part of the body of a born again contains healing virtue; therefore our bodies shouldn’t be treated with levity but as the temple of the Holy Spirit. Once I was invited to pray for a mentally challenged woman and her husband offered me lunch and at the end of eating he requested that his wife ate the leftovers and they both did and to the glory of God a week later she was fully restored back. Her husband said he believed the anointing for healing was in the spoon, plate and cup and leftover water and God granted them their desire according to his faith.We should not limit the power of the Spirit by our infinitesimal religious belief system. Receive your healing now. 
         The miracle working power operates like water current in a river, the scriptures declares that rivers of living water shall flow from the belly of those who believe in Jesus Christ (John7:38), this is symbolic of the miracle working power of God in us . When a river is stirred up , it triggers waves and these waves move with power influencing the environment . Our faith in God’s word produces various degrees of faith-waves with corresponding results , the scriptures say in Matt 13:23 KJV  “But he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it; which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.” Some persons can only believe thirty percent of what they are taught in God’s word, some sixty and some hundred, and it is in the same measure you give your heart to believe God’s word that determines the level of your miracle( luke 6:38).
          The miracle working power is always on standby and it can only go as far as we permit. If the blind fellow had kept quiet after the first treatment, he would have left with partial vision. Faith does not deny facts, religion teaches us to say “it is well” as a demonstration of our faith, this miracle debunks that logic, Jesus through this proved that truth, reason and fact are interrelated and interchangeable. What is true is also fact, when God says you are healed it is a fact, the same with supplying our needs, scriptures nullifies the “It is well logic” as substitute for facts. In 2 kings 4:27-35 from where this term is derived, Gehazi was not afraid to state the fact that the dead child was not responsive (Vs31) this prompted Elisha’s persistence in prayer and the dead boy was resurrected.   James 2:15-17 NKJV “If a brother or sister is naked and destitute of daily food, and one of you says to them, "Depart in peace be warmed and filled," but you do not give them the things which are needed for the body, what does it profit? Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.” Jesus did not tell the blind to go home and keep saying “it is well” but was persistent until the desired result was achieved likewise we have to be persistent in trusting God by overcoming our doubts with relevant scriptures and bringing to remembrance past miracles. God wants you healed and prosperous and He isn’t weary of your case, He admonishes us in Gal 6:9 AMP “And let us not lose heart and grow weary and faint in acting nobly and doing right, for in due time and at the appointed season we shall reap, if we do not loosen and relax our courage and faint.”Keep on praying, giving,preaching,teaching, trusting, loving. It shall be well with you (Isaiah3:10). 
Prayer : Heavenly Father forgive me of 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 for my healing and prosperity of my family 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...
