GOD'S SPEED


By Rev Michael Benson Ajayi 

 " Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the  doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth  in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father  and the Son.  If there come any unto you, and  bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your  house, neither bid him God speed: For he that  biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil  deeds." 2 John 1:9-11 

     There are four models for the interpretation of the bible and popular amongst  them is the Reader Response method and The Proof Text method . The Reader Response Method emphasizes that the reader determines what the text means mostly in new conflicting and illogical manner. This results in the loss of all means of authenticating the validity of the texts and the authority behind the text is lost. 

   The Proof Text Method relies on the pastor's experiences and depends on a naive reading of the text while disregarding the context  thus opening the abuse of the bible by spiritualists and magicians in the pursuit of personal gains. 

     This is the reason why every bible school must of a necessity teach the logical use of the bible dictionary. 

  The bible dictionary defines 'God speed' from the Greek Aramaic word 'chairō' it means : to rejoice, be glad , to rejoice exceedingly : to be well, thrive , in salutations, hail! ,at the beginning of letters: to give one greeting, salute.  

   The phrase  'God speed ' has been misinterpreted by many preachers  to mean achievement of success faster than usual or get rich quick . This is a major reason for the increase of internet fraud and money laundering among Christians . The majority of those attested are christians who have been misled by preachers. 

   The concept of speedy success is often attributed to a special grace that can only be obtained when one gives money to a special preacher and his or her  infinitesimal ministry. This is far from the truth and contrary to the biblical virtue of patience which is highly  priced of the Lord  ( James 1:1-4 , 1 Peter 1:7) . Greed for money is satanic and hinders the manifestation of the fruits of the Holy Spirit ( Galatians 5:19-21)

   God does not have favourites therefore, there is no such thing as a special preacher with a special anointing for speed . That is the language of corruption . The bible says : God has no favorites ' ( Galatians 2:6 NLT , Ephesians 6:9 NLT) and God does not give the anointing to preachers in sizes ".. God giveth not the Spirit by measure ' (John 3:34kjv  NB 'to him" is italicised it is not in the original text of scriptures)

   Poor reference is given to support this wrong theology with Elijah outrunning Ahab's Chariot . If that's the case the gold medalists in the Olympics should be the most anointed .  This is an example of reading meaning into scriptures instead of out of scriptures. Imagine a woman receiving God speed for child birth and she conceives and delivers after one month. Imagine the disaster this will cause her 

     The scriptures in 2 John 1:9-11 means whenever you flatter or welcome into your home any Christian  who became wealthy by an evil process you shall be considered as guilty of the crime and my not enter heaven . This is the reason why preachers have lost respect in the eyes of the public  because the sacredness of the pulpit has been violated as men and women of questionable character are seen ministering shoulder to shoulder with priests who would do anything for the love of money .

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 overcome temptation . Amen

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...
