GET UNDERSTANDING FOR THE SUPERNATURAL (2)

 


By Rev Michael Benson Ajayi 

Exodus 4:2 -5 " And the Lord said unto  him, What is that in  thine hand? And he said,  A rod.  And he said,  Cast it on the ground.  And he cast it on the  ground, and it became a  serpent; and Moses fled  from before it.  And the  Lord said unto Moses,  Put forth thine hand,  and take it by the tail.  And he put forth his  hand, and caught it, and  it became a rod in his  hand: That they may  believe that the Lord  God of their fathers, the  God of Abraham, the  God of Isaac, and the  God of Jacob, hath  appeared unto thee." 

    The born again experience is different from other religions in that it involves the demonstration of the power of God by believers. The scriptures says believers in Jesus Christ are created for signs and wonders (Isaiah 8:18) . When I was in the Rivers state university of science and technology , Port Harcourt I went on evangelism and was accosted by a law student who emphatically claimed that the most recent translation of the bible does not contain Mark 16:15-20. Verse 18 says they shall lay hands on the sick and they shall recover, . I told him I believed in the authenticity of the holy scriptures and that God was ready to confirm his word whenever it is challenged. 

   I said i was not interested in arguments and asked if there was a person in our midst in need of healing . A  lady who has had a growth under in her breast for six years motioned with her hands up. I prayed a simple prayer asking the Lord to confirm the authenticity of Mark 16;18 to the audience by healing the woman and before I was done praying the woman began laughing as she received her healing instantly with the growth gone. That ended the argument and God was glorified.

      Bro.  Kingdom  an officer in charge of  lifting of equipments in an offshore oil rig sent me a message on Facebook requesting divine help because a heavy  equipment worth millions of dollars  had fallen into the sea  while being lifted. I asked him if he believed the story of Elisha and the floating axe head in 2Kings 6:5-7 and asked that he got a piece of stick ( he got broom 

stick) and we prayed and I told him to cast it into the spot where the equipment fell . 

  By the next day morning the equipment was found attached to the rig just some few feet from the surface and was hauled in. God proved the authenticity of the holy scriptures again and he was glorified .

    In all these cases we had to put aside natural thinking and replaced it with the thinking pattern of faith in a God who is all powerful, all knowing and all present  Moses leant a had lesson with his rod turning to a snake for thinking that he knew it all . Faith deals with metaphysical realism because everything in the physical world has essence ( or spiritual blueprint) and subject to  laws beyond physical science .

  The laws of faith is transcendent to natural laws that's why Jesus Christ said Mk 9:23 'Jesus said unto him, If  thou canst believe, all  things are possible to  him that believeth.'

     Prayer: Heavenly father forgive me of my sins I believe Jesus Christ died and was raised for my salvation I receive him as lord and savior and receive the Holy Spirit and power for signs and wonders .

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...
