CONSCIOUSNESS OF THE GOODNESS OF GOD YOUR SHIELD AGAINST SIN Matt 10:28 "Don't be afraid of those who want to kill your body; they cannot touch your soul. Fear only God, who can destroy both soul and body in hell”.(NLT bible)      There are two words used to describe fear in the Greek the first is “phobos” from where the word phobia comes from; it means (to be put in fear); alarm or fright, be afraid, exceedingly, fear, terror. The second is ‘phobeo’ ; to be in awe of, i.e revere.         It is the second kind of fear that Jesus says we should have for God . I t is the reverential fear of God that demonstrates our love for Him. What you adore or worship a person, you are bound to revere that personality.                                      ...

EVEN SEX WORKERS HAVE A PLACE IN HEAVEN By Rev.Michael Benson Ajayi Matt 21:31” Which of the two did the will of the father? They replied, The first one. Jesus said to them, Truly I tell you, the tax collectors and the harlots will get into the kingdom of heaven before you.” AMP Luke 13:23-24 "Then said one unto him, Lord, are there few that be saved? And he said unto them, Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able to enter.        Many self-righteous folks will seek to enter the kingdom of God and shall not be able to enter not because God refused salvation to anyone.   God "is not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance" (2 Pet. 3:9). "The grace of God that brings salv ation has appeared to ALL men . . ." (Titus. 2:11) It is the will of God for all of mankind to be saved. Jesus said the process will be so easy such that commercial sex workers woul...

By Rev. Michael Benson Ajayi  Matt 23:23 “ Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, pretenders (hypocrites)! For you give a tenth of your mint and dill and cummin, and have neglected and omitted the weightier (more important) matters of the Law — right and justice and mercy and fidelity. These you ought [particularly] to have done, without neglecting the others.” AMP Bible        Jesus clearly opposed the hypocritical display by the religious folks of His time. Man-inspired religion seeks to please God based on human standards as demonstrated in the detailed measuring out of ten percent of spices brought in as tithe. As in all religions, the actions may be right but the motives ill-conceived . The place of holiness in our actions cannot be overemphasized. However, God is against the idea that says our  actions could produce a right relationship with God ,thereby placing the burden of salvation on man.      This is contrary to th...

RECEIVE GOD'S PEACE NOW !  John 14:27AMP  "Peace I leave with you; My [own] peace I now give and bequeath to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid. [Stop allowing yourselves to be agitated and disturbed; and do not permit yourselves to be fearful and intimidated and cowardly and unsettled.]"       The English dictionary defines  "peace" as an absence of civil disturbance or hostilities, or a personality free from internal and external strife. The biblical concept of peace is larger than that and rests heavily on the Hebrew root shalam  which means "to be complete" or "to be sound."    T he pursui t of peace is the driving force behind our endeavours but reality has shown that material possessions cannot guarantee lasting peace, as a matter of fact the reverse is the case . Peace is the product of casting our worries upon the Lord through prayer and thanksgiv...
