FREEDOM FROM UNENDING DELIVERANCES



 
By Rev Michael Benson Ajayi
John 11:44 "And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with grave clothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith unto them, Loose him, and let him go."
           Lazarus' death is so unique in that God's plans for the resurrection of the dead in Christ was revealed in that moment to Jesus' followers. Jesus described Himself as being the resurrection and the life to his disciples (John11:25) prior to this event,  Jesus had earlier demonstrated His ability to raise the dead in ( luke7:11-16). The fact that we shall be resurrected after physical death is profound and it is the core of the Christian faith.
        The resurrection power of the risen and glorified Christ is already at work in the life of believers. It is evident in the various testimonies of miraculous restoration experienced by believers the world over. This is part of the benefits of the newness of life inherent in practicing the Christ-like life through faith.
        Like the death and resurrection of Lazarus, the spiritual rebirth did not include our emotions and physical bodies. Therefore, as we carry along the old ways of doing things into the new life in Christ they obstruct our growth and the manifestations of our potentials just like Lazarus’ ‘grave clothes’( they hindered his movement after resurrection) . 
       The ‘grave clothes’-mentality must be removed for us to enjoy the full benefits of the resurrected life in Christ (Galatians 5:16-17). They are the habits mentioned in Galatians 5:19-21 “When you follow the desires of your sinful nature, the results are very clear: sexual immorality, impurity, lustful pleasures, idolatry, sorcery, hostility, quarreling, jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish ambition, dissension, division, envy, drunkenness, wild parties, and other sins like these…. anyone living that sort of life will not inherit the Kingdom of God.” These habits exist in us as thoughts that must not be followed through.
     When we received Christ, we crucified these habits on the cross with Him and are to daily declare that we are the righteousness of Christ for the new nature to fully manifest in us by faith. The qualities of this new nature are mentioned in  Galatians 5:22-23NLT “.. the Holy Spirit produces.. in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. …..!” These are the ingredients needed for a long lasting and sustained manifestation of the deliverance power of Jesus Christ in our businesses, marriages, finances, relationships and communities. We achieve this by maintaining positive emotions in the face of negative circumstances. We are to think on things that are lovely, true and of good report. Negative thoughts beget negative attitudes.
      At salvation we experienced total deliverance from all satanic power and were translated into God’s kingdom beyond the reach of all evil forces (Colossian1:12-13). We must believe this truth in God's word to be free from Satanic manipulations . There is no such thing as a born again Christian being possessed by a demon spirit or under a curse because of food or non payment of tithe . All foods (Physical or spiritual) belong to Christ( 1Cor.3:21-23)Satan is a liar.
You are beyond demonic control ,reject any doctrine that says otherwise (Luke10:19). Satan seeks to take control of our lives through false teachings that make him seem powerful, like that which suggests that every outbreak of pimples on our face requires special 'deliverance' prayers.
          Satan cannot dwell in the same body with the Holy Ghost (1Corinthians 10:21) the human body is likened to a cup . A change of attitude by the Holy Ghost is indispensable to witnessing God’s power in our lives. He will only change what you ask Him to change in your life. 
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 ghost and power to walk in my deliverance consciousness and demolish the strongholds of the enemy over my family in Jesus name.

IS THE FIRST BORN CURSED ?

 Rev.Michael Benson Ajayi Genesis. 49:3 -4 "Reuben, thou art my firstborn, my might, and the beginning of my strength, the excellency of dignity, and the excellency of power:Unstable as water, thou shalt not  excel; because thou wentest up to thy father’s bed; then defiledst  thou it: he went up to my couch. "         The theology that says the first-born child going through  life's  difficulties is a victim of the curse of the firstborn is unfounded in scripture and counter-productive. Those who teach this often make reference to Gen.49:3-4 to buttress their claim. For there to be a curse, there has to be a justifiable cause for it. It is important that a clear distinction be made between a curse and the trials of life. The word  'curse' is the Hebrew word 'Arar' which means to be: hated ,despised as in Genesis 12:3" ..and curse him that curseth thee:.... "  God does not hate the first-born child but loves them (John...

GOD HATES DISUNITY .

By Rev. Michael Benson Ajayi  "Two people are better off than one, for they can help each other succeed. If one person falls, the other can reach out and help. But someone who falls alone is in real trouble."Ecclesiastes 4:9‭-‬10 NLTBible  "A person standing alone can be attacked and defeated, but two can stand back-to-back and conquer. Three are even better, for a triple-braided cord is not easily broken." Ecclesiastes 4:12 NLTBible      The Lord wants us to have unity , the body of believers is like the human body that can only function optimally when every part is functioning effectively and contributing its potentials to the other parts of the body.     Disunity is like losing a part of your body , this results in loss in strength and potentials and capacity to perform . The lord wants us to be united. " Dear brothers and sisters, I close my letter with these last words: Be joyful. Grow to maturity. Encourage each other. Live in harmony and pe...

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...
