TURN COMPLAINTS INTO PROPHECIES FOR BREAKTHROUGHS (2)

 

 

 By Rev Michael Benson Ajayi 
I will praise the lord at all times. I will constantly speak his praises. Psalms 34:1
    It has been proven that most persons tend to be healthier after separating from a previous relationship with a contentious or complaining partner. It has been scientifically proven that exposing oneself to a habitually complaining person will result in the damage of one's brain resulting in major illnesses that could  result in permanent body damage even  death. This is main reason why the bible says it is better to suffer the hardship of living in the wilderness than living with a complaining spouse . 

     On the average people spend more time with their mothers than with their fathers from childhood thus mothers tend to have more emotional influence on the average human being than the fathers. Faith love and hatred are virtues learned from our parents or guardian we are closest to . 

   A person who is emotionally attached to a Christian parent who does not see anything wrong with being contentious, complaining: keeping malice for over twenty years is most likely to think complaining and keeping malice is a way of life that is acceptable by God even when the Bible condemns it . Likewise a child exposed to loving parents full of faith is most likely to think faith and love is a way of life .

  Parents have a strong influence on the spirituality of  children and this reflects in their relationships as adults . A relationship is as strong as the bonds of faith , knowledge , understanding motivated by love ( Gal 5:6) . They are the premises upon which an enduring family legacy is built . These were the features seen in young Timothy's upbringing that led to Paul's commendations in 2 Timothy 1:5 "I remember your genuine faith, for you share the faith that first filled your grandmother Lois and your mother, Eunice. And I know that same faith continues strong in you. '  The greatest gift  parents can bequeath to their children is the knowledge of faith which works by unfeigned love. 

   Through faith we turn our complaints to prayers and from petitions into prophecies and breakthroughs . During those trying times in our relationships faith in the Lord and our partners is reinvigorated when we remind ourselves of past breakthroughs in the family and country .

   The psalmist was faced  with life -threatening situations and instead of complaints he knew how to praise the Lord as a way of reviving faith in the Lord  In psalm 103 :1 he went on and on in remembering the good and wonderful ways in which the Lord had treated him in the past . So instead of complaining which will give the devil the advantage , we should rather look for reasons to praise God regardless of our situation. 

   As a family tradition  , family members should develop a habit of writing down things they are thankful for and take note of noticeable improvements in your country in say transportation , ease of doing business etc and we should learn to remind each other of kind actions done towards each other in the past . This is a strong morale booster and builds faith .

   Prayer : Heavenly Father forgive me of me against you I believe Jesus Christ died and was raised again for my salvation I receive him as lord and saviour and receive peace 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....

COMMON CAUSES OF DISUNITY.

 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...
