SOWING TO THE HOLY SPIRIT IS LIFE


"Keep putting into practice all you learned and received from me—everything you heard from me and saw me doing. Then the God of peace will be with you." Philippians 4:9 NLT

  ".. he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life." Galatians 6:8 NKJV

   We will all live forever , the human spirit is indestructible  , while some persons will be sent to a domain of eternal judgment and grief   , those who have received the free gift of salvation by grace shall be in the domain of eternal joy , peace in the Holy Spirit .  The clause 'everlasting life ' in Galatians 6:8  is from the Greek word 'zōē' it means : the state of one who is possessed of vitality or is animate , a living soul, of the absolute fullness of life, both essential and ethical, which belongs to God, life real and genuine, a life active and vigorous, devoted to God, blessed, in the portion even in this world of those who put their trust in Christ, but after the resurrection to be consummated by new accessions (among them a more perfect body), and to last for ever.(Thayer/Strong Dictionaries)

    There is so much falsehood in the world and much of it has made its way into the Church by reason of the type of theology being promoted by those who merchandise God's people by promising them a life devoid of problems as long as regular donations are made to their infinitesimal ministries. 

  Problems are part of the christian life , it's how the Christlike character is formed . The Bible says " Dear brothers and sisters, when troubles of any kind come your way, consider it an opportunity for great joy. For you know that when your faith is tested, your endurance has a chance to grow. So let it grow, for when your endurance is fully developed, you will be perfect and complete, needing nothing."James 1:2‭-‬4 NLT

  Giving money to preachers will not prevent problems , God allows problems in our lives to make us wiser  and stronger.

   The word 'soweth' or sows is from the Greek word speirō it means to scatter seed . When the Bible speaks of seed in this context as in 2 Corinthians 9:10 "..  he that ministereth seed to the sower .." it goes beyond agricultural crops seed e.g wheat, rice etc , it is the Greek word 'sperma'  it means the grain or kernel which contains within itself the germ of the future plants, a residue, or a few survivors reserved as the germ of the next generation (just as seed is kept from the harvest for the sowing) the semen virile ,the product of this semen, seed, children, offspring, progeny family, tribe, posterity, whatever possesses vital force or life giving power of divine energy of the Holy Spirit operating within the soul by which we are regenerated. ( Thayer/ strong Dictionaries) 

  Therefore, 'seed' is everything needed to ensure the propagation of the generation of born again Christians from age to age . 'Seed' is living for Christ by the Holy Spirit. All you have , children, sperm, wealth , health are for promoting the work of the Holy Spirit on earth . The scriptures says "Those who live only to satisfy their own sinful nature will harvest decay and death from that sinful nature. But those who live to please the Spirit will harvest everlasting life from the Spirit."Galatians 6:8 NLT

 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 to spread the gospel  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...
