THE BELIEVER'S RIGHTS AND PRIVILEGES

 




By Rev. Michael Benson Ajayi
Ps 27:4 NKJV “One thing I have desired of the Lord, That will I seek: That I may dwell in the house of the Lord All the days of my life, To behold the beauty of the Lord, And to inquire in His temple.”
Ps 16:5 NKJV  “ O Lord, You are the portion of my inheritance and my cup; You maintain my lot”
     Every kingdom is ruled by a monarch and a set of rules which outlines duties of citizens and their rights and privileges. They are entitled to an inheritance which includes security of lives and property. The scriptures says in Col 1:12 NKJV  “giving thanks to the Father who has qualified us to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in the light.”  The believer in Christ has an inheritance in God’s kingdom that is  beyond any material object in value . In reality ,there is no poor Christian. The poor in society are victims of bad governance and man-made religion .Poverty is the outcome of the theft and mismanagement of resources by God's people 
       King David received a revelation of the saint's inheritance in Psalm 16:5 “You are the portion of my inheritance “  God has given himself to those in the secret place . He is your inheritance and the insurance of a fulfilled  life . He says in psalm 91 ::2-16 TLB
     The lord is your refuge, your place of safety; and he rescues you from every trap and protects you from the fatal plague.  He will shield you with his wings!  shelter you and His faithful promises are your armor. Now you don't need to be afraid of the dark any more, nor fear the dangers of the day;  nor dread the plagues of darkness, nor disasters in the morning. 
     Though a thousand fall at your side, though ten thousand are dying around you , the evil will not touch you. You will see how the wicked are punished by the lord , but you will not share in the evil that has befallen them. For Jehovah is your refuge and your shelter, therefore, evil shall not overtake you or any plague come near you. 
      The lord shall order his angels to protect you always wherever you go. They will steady you with their hands to keep you from stumbling against the rocks on the trail.  You can safely meet a lion or step on poisonous snakes, yes, even trample them beneath your feet and shall not be hurt , For the Lord says, Because you love him, He will rescue you ; He will make you great because of your trust in His name. Whenever you  call on Him , He will answer; He will be with you in trouble and rescue you and honor you and will satisfy you with a full fruitful life.* You are destined to live in abundance regardless of your circumstances. 
Prayer : Heavenly Father , forgive me of my sins against you , I believe Jesus Christ died and was raised again for my salvation , I receive as my lord and savior and receive the Holy Spirit and overwhelming peace  and security in the face of crisis 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.     Many christians suffer evil family patterns ( repeated d

CONSEQUENCES OF LACK OF FAITH

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 approach t

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 was not pleased with the rebels
