HOW TO DISCOVER GOD'S WILL FOR YOUR LIFE



By Michael Benson Ajayi 
Ephesians 1:11 "In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated  according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will:"
        This scripture says the born again christian has an inheritance from God; therefore there is no such thing as a poor person in God's kingdom . Poverty is man-made and the result of selfishness and mismanagement of resources by political leaders in connivance with the clergy (Ezekiel 22:27-29).The ignorance of God's word leads to poverty which is often shrouded in illogical religious devotions . Religion promotes waste and is against God's plan for the prosperity of His children.
           The early church operated an economic system based on a commonwealth and as a result ,there was an equitable distribution of resources with zero poverty indices and peaceful coexistence among family members. Ownership and the accumulation of money by individuals was discouraged. Modern Christian religion encourages the possession of resources meant for the majority by a few .This is the concept behind the so-called 'prosperity and dominion' messages and it is contrary to God's plan for us (Matt20:25-26,Acts4:32-37 , Acts 5:1-10 )..This logic thrives on oppression and the creation of artificial scarcity of resources through hoarding for the benefit of a few.It creates no room for a social welfare system and the bane of the underdevelopment of third world nations where such teachings thrives .It is behind the insecurity ,inequalities and instabilities in our communities and diminishes the church's capacity to preach the truth of the gospel ; unfortunately ,it is the driving force of many churches today. People are taught that a person's success is measured by the size of their bank account but according to God's will, a man's success is measured by how much of God's purpose he knows and has fulfilled through the saving of souls from satanic bondage and destruction .
      It is a tragedy to excel in an area of life outside God's will. In a bid to be successful some persons have excelled in areas of life outside their divine purpose , this  has left them feeling miserable and unfulfilled ; until a person discovers God’s will concerning his or her life, confusion and melancholy is inevitable .
      To know God’s will, you have to seek it above your desires.In  (luke 22:42) Jesus' prayer was for the Father's will to be done and not His. We are to seek and trust God for the fulfillment of His will in our lives (Col2 1:9) and this is easily made manifest when we recognize that we have a part to play in doing the will of God ( Ephesians 6:6) .
      The Holy Spirit gives direction to those who seek God's will and this is revealed progressively ( John 16:13-14, John Mark 4:24,25 ) through the written word of God . The bible is His written will (2Timothy 3:16) and we are admonished to avoid seeking for His will outside scriptures because of the inherent danger of being misled into destructive heresies ( Prov 28:9) . Therefore, a thorough study of scriptures is required while avoiding private interpretations (2 Timothy 2:15,2 Peter 1:20). In our studies, we will notice that certain verses speak  specifically to us convincingly about our situation  ( Psalm prov.6:22,23, Luke 24:32) and more clarity is attained through prayers and guidance from a mature christian ( Psalm 119:34,35,Acts 8:30-35) .
        While seeking God’s  will , careful attention should be paid to the dreams we receive especially at night  ,this requires keeping the mind free from psychotropic substances and emotional stress which makes it hard to coordinate mentally.A stressful mind is restless and cannot dream and if it does, it will not be remembered ; sufficient time should be given for a good night rest and we should not go to bed angry. God sometimes speaks through dreams ( Numbers 12:6, Joel 2:28) and these dreams agree with scriptures.  Abraham received a divine message through a dream ( Gen 15:12-16) Laban was warned not to harm Jacob in a dream (Gen 31:22-24) Daniel received revelations of the end times through a dream Dan7:1-28) . The wise men were warned in a dream concerning Jesus (Matt.27:19) .
      Caution should be taken while receiving information through dreams because not all dreams are divine,  some are as result of emotional imbalance,starvation and stress  Ecc 5:3a, 7 (especially eating and having sex in a dream ) others come as a result of being exposed to false prophets. They create fear in us which crystallizes into nightmares (Jer 23:25-27a,32) ( Jer29:8b). Whenever we pay attention to these false prophets and wrong teachings , we exposed ourselves to deceptive dreams which they exploit to their advantage leading to occultism and slavery. We should always guide our hearts with the word of God.Reject any dream that does not align with God's word.
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 to walk in understanding, wisdom and revelations of your perfect will 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...
