SHOW LOVE FOR THE LORD BY KEEPING HIS WORD

  


By Michael Benson Ajayi

  " All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work."II Timothy 3:16‭-‬17 NKJV

  The word 'work' is the Greek word ' ergon ' it means : business, employment, that which any one is occupied, that which one undertakes to do, enterprise, undertaking , any product whatever, any thing accomplished by hand, art, industry, or mind , an act, deed, thing done: the idea of working is emphasised in opposite to that which is less than work .

    Through the Word of God we attain our best in all our endeavours. The Word of God is the manual for human existence. The manufacturer of a product attaches a manual to enable users get the best out of it likewise humanity is God's product that comes with a manual : the word of God contained in the Holy Bible ( Prov1:1 Mssg Bible) 'A manual for living , learning what's just right and fair.." 

  The bible was written by divine inspiration , authors who existed in different era and location ,in some cases thousands of years apart, unknown to each other were able to write texts with accurate correlation to other.  

   The Word of God is eternally , true and never fails (1Pe1:25, Matt24:35,Ps119:160) The Word of God is life and above all of God's titles ( Ps138:2, Deut32:46-47) and Jesus Christ is the embodiment of God's Word , the Bible says " In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth."John 1:1‭, ‬14 NKJV Rev.19:11-13.

  The Word of God is alive  ,the universe was created by God's Word ( John 6:63, Ps33:6,9) and was written for our benefits and for the benefits of the unborn. ( Ps102:18; Jn19:35) it is our source of hope . The Bible says For whatever things were written before were written for our learning, that we through the patience and comfort of the Scriptures might have hope."Romans 15:4 NKJV   

It is our weapon against Satan and his demons . Satan left when Jesus Christ said it is written (Matt4:4-11) Heb4:12 says its a sword . 

   Taking heed and keeping God's word is the key to enjoying God's favour ( 2Pe1:19)  Obeying and keeping God's Word demonstrates we know and love Jesus Christ. The Bible says  “If you love Me, keep My commandments.  He who has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me. And he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and manifest Myself to him.” Jesus answered and said to him, “If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him." John 14:15‭, ‬21‭-‬21‭, ‬23 NKJV

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 Ghost and power to make great progress  against all  odds 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.

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...
