WHAT MATTERS IS THAT YOU BEGAN WELL




Rev.Michael Benson Ajayi
Gen 1:1-2 NIV  “ In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.”
 John 1:1 NIV  “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
    The life of the believer is a life of faith. Faith is the evidence of that hoped for and the substance of that not seen. It is the title deed of that which is expected. The scriptures teaches that the just shall live by faith.This means your security, health, provision, finances is guaranteed as long as there is faith. We should depend on God for everything, even the ability to breath clean air; that’s only when we can be truly grateful for life.
      Often God puts a dream in our heart to execute a project, maybe a business, a building, a charity , academic pursuit or ministry . It always starts with a resonating word such as “start a business”   or” build an orphanage“ or ministry . The word given at that moment contains the potentials to bring that project to reality from scratch.
    God only gave 'a word'; when he wanted to create the universe, He gave the word and the Word contained everything that was needed to bring the universe into physical manifestation. God has faith in His word likewise if He has given you a dream to start a project you should have faith in that word.
      The word of faith requires evidence and substance to become a physical reality. And the only evidence and substance needed is a plan. A plan is the only proof that we have faith. You cannot claim that you are expecting God to give you a business without a plan. When God wanted to create the universe He had a plan, likewise when, Noah was to build the ark he was given a plan. When the great temple in Jerusalem was to be built it was according to a divine plan. Heb 8:5 NLT  says “when Moses was getting ready to build the Tabernacle, God gave him this warning: "Be sure that you make everything according to the pattern I have shown you here on the mountain."
            Everyone can afford a plan. It is as easy as grabbing a piece of paper and writing your dream on it.  A plan is the most important resource in building a business. When a business fails it is usually not because of witchcraft or the lack of funds but bad planning. Most persons in third world countries do not have access to steady electric power supply therefore; setting up a business without putting power into perspective is counterproductive.Businessmen in these areas spend their entire profits on the generation of power and the business soon suffers and they are quick to attribute it to witchcraft or a curse from the village. Marriages need planning too, It is bad planning that destroys marriages; not voodoo or a curse. Every marriage must have a Spiritual, emotional and physical or financial plan for sustainability. The most important resource in a marriage is : quality time with one’s family and this requires proper planning to get it right. It has no substitute; that was how our great grandparents were able to remain married for long and built great communities and estates that are being sold for temporal rewards by the present generation. They had faith in the word and started well .This global teaching ministry started from under an orange tree with 6 persons in attendance in 1998 with a plan to build a church that would be a reservoir for God's word through discipleship and with technology that purpose is being fulfilled . Starting well involves starting with a good plan and daily dedicating it to the lord for endorsement.  It is not in starting big with pomp and pageantry but a sustainable plan. As long as the plan works, the business or project will work and by faith we are expected to start with whatever we have ,all prophet Moses had to lead Israel out of Egypt was a stick ; those who wait for everything to be in place end up not starting
.   Eccl 11:4 TLB  “If you wait for perfect conditions, you will never get anything done.”
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 excellence in all areas of life 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...
