DELIVERANCE FROM NEAR-SUCCESS SYNDROME (PART1)


By Rev. Michael Benson Ajayi
    “Your anger can never make things right in God’s sight.”  James 1:20.
“Don’t be in a hurry to go to court you might go down before your neighbours in shameful defeat.” Prov. 25:8 LB.
       The near success syndrome is the habit of failing at the edge of breakthrough and this is often as a result of the absence of finishing power born of out of deep-seated anger.  Anger could be described as a strong feeling of displeasure and usually of opposition toward someone or something.It is often brought about by real or imagined injury, rage, fury, wrath. Anger is a broad term that applies to various levels of emotion that may or may not be shown and if not controlled ,it results in temper, which is ‘the tendency to be easily angered.
     God’s word warns us against yielding to anger and wrath. The inability to control the temper has placed many persons in very embarrassing situations. Spouses have abandoned marriages only to regret such actions because of intemperance. God would not give you a task when He has not given you the ability to achieve the set task. Therefore, anger should not be given any room in our lives anymore. Failure to master anger could hinder the will of God from being done in our lives. “Stop your anger! Turn from your rage! Do not envy others it only leads to harm.” Psalm 37:8 LB. The scriptures says  “Don’t be quick tempered, for anger is the friend of fools. Eccl. 7:9 LB
       Anger exposes you to Satanic and demonic manipulations. Anger weakens a man's spiritual defense mechanism and intellectual capacity rendering him vulnerable to evil attacks .He finds it hard to make sound judgments . “He that  is slow to anger is better than the mighty, and he that rules his spirit than he that takes a city. Pro. 16:32 KJV.
     “A person without self-control is as defenseless, as a city with broken down walls. Pro. 25:28 LB.
     Pride and selfishness are the parents of anger: Usually when a person’s sense of pride is injured he or she becomes aggrieved resulting in anger. Angry persons need to ask the Lord to give them the spirit of humility and generosity. “Proud and haughty scorner  is his name, who deals in proud, wrath. Pro. 21:24. “What causes fights and quarrels among you? Don’t they come from your desires that battle within you?
     Ungodly anger leads to hardships and unnecessary sufferings. Hot tempered persons are always in and out of troubles with unpleasant consequences, Prov. 19:19 says “A man of great wrath shall suffer punishment”.. Ungodly anger often leads to unpleasant legal tussles with embarrassing court cases resulting in financial losses. “Do not bring hastily to court for what will you do in the end if your neighbour puts you to shame? Pro. 25:8 God is not in support of most court cases because they are born out of revenge and pride.
      Wise men control their temper because they know it leads to mistakes and even greater problems.  An example of this is seen in the book of Numbers 20: 7,8,10-12, and Psalm 106: 32:33. Moses’ outburst of anger caused him to lose the blessing and privilege of leading his people into the promised land. The Lord spoke unto Moses saying. Take the rod … and speak ye unto the rock before their eyes (the rebellious congregation), and it shall give forth his water … Moses … said unto them. Hear now, you rebels, must we fetch you water out of this rock? And Moses lifted up his hand and with his rod he smote the rock twice and the water came out abundantly, and the congregation drank. And the lord spoke unto Moses and Aaron, because you believed Me not to sanctify Me in the eyes of the children of Israel. Therefore you shall not bring this congregation into the land which I have given them .Like Moses many preachers have failed in their ministries because of a rebellious church member. Nobody can change a rebel . Anger leads to near success syndrome.
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 the Holy Spirit and power over  anger and the near success syndrome 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...
