YOU MUST NOT BE IN A CHURCH PROGRAMME FOR YOUR PRAYERS TO BE ANSWERED

By Rev. Michael Benson Ajayi

Matt 6:7-9 "The world is full of so-called prayer warriors who are prayer-ignorant. They're full of formulas and programs and advice, peddling techniques for getting what you want from God. Don't fall for that nonsense. This is your Father you are dealing with, and he knows better than you what you need.  With a God like this loving you, you can pray very simply…..”
        Mark 5:28-34 NIV  “because she thought, "If I just touch his clothes, I will be healed." … Immediately her bleeding stopped and she felt in her body that she was freed from her suffering. …. “But Jesus kept looking around to see who had done it….He said to her, "Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace and be freed from your suffering."
   It is common belief that the anointing of God – tends to be more available and more powerful during certain church programs based on certain preparation formula and when certain preachers are present , such belief is behind the avalanche of church programs witnessed in our communities and many persons are more likely to attend such programs than be committed to a particular congregation or live the Christian life , they do not see the need to as long as needs are met. None of the recipients of Jesus' healing was born again because salvation requires believing in the death and resurrection of Christ  for the atonement for sins. 
  Such programs offer a quick- fix solution to all of life’s problems with organizers attaching attendance as a guarantee to answers to prayers , in some cases invitees are told they need not have faith as the preacher’s faith is sufficient to solve all problems .  Yes , people receive miracles in church programs sometimes based on their faith while some testimonies of miracles are questionable , the truth remains that not all persons receive their miracles during such programs . And many become overwhelmed with disappointment when their expectations  are not met . Imagine having to wait for a church program before you can eat, pay bills,get married, be pregnant and so forth.  Secondly , though our faith in God may fluctuate however it is not so with God's power .The anointing is never more in one place and less in another or at certain times or seasons like the heathen believe of their gods. God (the anointing ) is the same today and for ever (Heb.13:8) we are the body of Christ and His leg is not more anointed than the eye ,the anointing is the same everywhere. Faith is what makes the difference (Rom.1:17)
     Matt 6:7-9 teaches that God does not have a formula that must be followed before a prayer can be answered neither must you be prayed for by a super spiritualist for petitions to be granted . All that is needed is unfeigned faith. The woman with the issue of blood was not following any religious formula before she could receive her healing; all she needed was contact with the living word of God. Scriptures describes Jesus Christ as the word of God (John 1:1-3)  He is all present  and it is the revelation of the power of God in is word that activates faith for the miraculous . The word of God is the power of God also known as the anointing or presence of God .The more a person meditates on God's word , the more aware he or she becomes of His presence in and around us .
  You must not buy a prayer cloth or special handkerchief to receive this power it is were you are right now and ready to deliver you from your sufferings  only if you will make contact through faith. God will not reject anyone that comes to Him through Jesus Christ, the healing door is open twenty four hours of the day .
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 my healing and deliverance from the strongholds of Satan and his agents 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...
