PROMISE OF A NEW NATION BUILT ON THE FOUNDATION OF RIGHTEOUSNESS



By Rev Michael Benson Ajayi 

“My servant David will be their king, and they will have only one shepherd. They will obey my regulations and be careful to keep my decrees. " Ezekiel 37:24

Matthew 9:27 " 27 And when Jesus departed thence, two blind men followed him, crying, and saying, Thou Son of David, have mercy on us." 

    This scripture is not a reference to a reincarnated king David because speaks of his death and burial in 1kings 2:10 "So David slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David." David in Ezekiel 37:24 is referring to a character who shall come in the likeness of king David .

   Matthew Poole's Commentary on this verse of the bible says : It is the " Son of David, who was also his Lord, that is here intended. My servant: the Messiah, in his mediatory office, is God’s servant and our Saviour. He rules over their hearts, and rule there in spiritual manner and this King shall be a Shepherd, that feeds, not fleeceth, the flock; there is but one chief Shepherd, others that feed and rule the flock are so by commission from him. 

    They shall also walk as a  declaration of duty, predictive of the event, and promissory of ability and assistance to keep the holy commandments of God. Christ’s kingdom is that which by law and precept commandeth righteousness, and which by grace and power strengthens its subjects to this, and so the event is sure, and freest grace makes holiest lives. "

 Before the second coming of Christ there shall be an out pouring of the spirit of righteousness upon the earth leading to a revival in the church and the society wherever they are found .“Then I will pour out a spirit of grace and prayer on the family of David and on the people of Jerusalem. They will look on me whom they have pierced and mourn for him as for an only son. .."..Zechariah 12:10

  This scripture was confirmed in (John 19;34-37) and ever since the spirit has been stirring up a righteous zeal in the nations of the earth . 

  There has been a demand for social justice and equality the world over and the lord commands that the church press for mercy, justice  and righteousness ( Jeremiah 9:24) in all sphere of human endeavor. 

   When we commit ourselves to promoting judgment , loving kindness and righteousness , the lord promises  " I will teach all your children,  and they will enjoy great peace. " Isaiah 54:13 we shall be a very educated and technologically advanced nation , and verse 14 says " You will be secure under a government that is just and fair.     Your enemies will stay far away. You will live in peace,   and terror will not come near. Isaiah 54:14. There shall be security of lives and property under a government founded on righteousness , judgment and loving kindness. 

Prayer : Heavenly father forgive me of my since against you I believe Jesus Christ died and was raised for my salvation I receive him as Lord and saviour and receive the Holy Spirit and power  for creativity . 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...
