THE POWER FOR PROSPERITY IS IN THE WORD

   By Rev Michael Benson Ajayi 

   


" But his delight is in the law of the Lord , And in His law he meditates day and night. He shall be like a tree Planted by the rivers of water, That brings forth its fruit in its season, Whose leaf also shall not wither; And whatever he does shall prosper." Psalms 1:2‭-‬3 NKJV

   " Meditate on these things; give yourself entirely to them, that your progress may be evident to all." I Timothy 4:15 NKJV

   At new birth , the born again believer in Jesus Christ is likened to a new born baby full of potentials for success and prosperity because we are created in God's image . Babies are fed 'milk' and as they mature 'meat' . These are the two levels of spiritual growth , babes are much dependent on others for sustenance while mature Christians are more responsible (. Heb.5:14-15, 1 Cor 3:1,2 .Jn16;12) There are things the lord will not give a babe until they attain maturity . God prospers according to a person's spiritual maturity . 

   The bible says "This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success." Joshua 1:8 NKJV

 The anointing for the miraculous is contained in God's Word .God does not give a person different powers .There is only one Power :the Holy Ghost also known as the Spirit of the Word -Jesus Christ ( 2Cor.3:17)

The word 'meditate' in Joshua1;8 is the Hebrew word 'hâgâh.'       It means to moan, growl, utter, muse, mutter, meditate, devise, plot, speak . And the word success is the Hebrew word śâkal.    It means to be prudent, be circumspect, wisely understand, prosper. Meditation means to be possessed by the Word :the lion of the tribe of Judah. You begin to operate strategically like a lion (growl) plotting to catch its prey.

  Meditating on God's word empowers a person to be at the right place at the  right time with the right persons while doing the right things. This is the formula for progress    The 'word' makes a person act wisely in every aspect of life . It is difficult keeping up with the competition  against  a person who is full of the word. 

  The Word saves us and gives us spiritual rebirth ( PS 19:7, 1Pe 1:23, 2 Pe 1:4) through the Word we know we are free from curses, satanic covenants and witchcraft . The Word gives us strength, Wisdom, Truth and faith for extraordinary breakthroughs ( 2Tim3:15-17, Rom10:17, Ps119:99,100, Jn17;17) 

   The Word heals us (Ps107:20) protects us from sins ( Ps119:11) Gives us joy and peace ( Ps119;165) builds a strong character in us ( 2Tim3:16-17)  it cleanses us from filthy shameful tendencies ( Ps119;9;Jn15:3) 

  The Word of God guides us , it is a light to our path (Ps119;105,130) 

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 for stability in the face of turbulence

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...
