DO NOT BE INTIMIDATED BY SIZE AND STRUCTURE OF THE OPPONENT

.


By Rev Michael Benson Ajayi 

  The Israelites were God's chosen people by covenant between God and Abraham. It was revealed to Abraham that they will be in bondage for four hundred years as a result of their rebellion against God. 

    After their great deliverance from Pharaoh's army they encountered several battles while pressing on their way to the promised land. They were given these rules of engagement with the enemy  “When you go out to fight your enemies and you face horses and chariots and an army greater than your own, do not be afraid. The lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, is with you! 

When you prepare for battle, the priest must come forward to speak to the troops. 

He will say to them, ‘Listen to me, all you men of Israel! Do not be afraid as you go out to fight your enemies today! Do not lose heart or panic or tremble before them. 

 For the lord your God is going with you! He will fight for you against your enemies, and he will give you victory!’  Deuteronomy 20:1-4

     In our battles in life we must understand that  we are not to underestimate or overestimate any challenge. It is by faith that we  overcome life's challenges . As a reminder of our need for him, God allows very difficult challenges to rise against us. They appear indomitable but God will want you to approach the problem without fear .

  Fear is as a result of the lack of trust in God's ability to provide for us. It is based on human selfish wisdom . 

   Even when human analysis does not favour you , that does not mean you shall be defeated. It is God's battle , not yours. The bible says , when Pharaoh was in hot pursuit of the Israelites , they became afraid . Yes, the fear was justifiable humanly speaking, He was better equipped and well structured unlike the structureless Israelites, but God said " "The lord himself will fight for you. Just stay calm.”  Exodus 14:14

    Victory in the arena of the physical starts with acknowledging our victory in the spirit   David  saw himself defeating Goliath before the fight likewise we must learn to see our victory through the eyes of the spirit .

 The bible says in 1John5:4 " For  whatsoever is born of  God overcometh the  world: and this is the  victory that overcometh  the world, even our  faith." You shall overcome 

  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 saviout and ask to be filled with the Holy Spirit and power for victorious living 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...
