Good-life Daily Devotional

  By Rev Michael Benson Ajayi  " But when you are praying, first forgive anyone you are holding a grudge against, so that your Father in heaven will forgive your sins, too. ”Mark 11:25 NLT"    Forgiveness is a sine qua non for a healthy spiritual growth. Offerings (miracle seeds) are no substitute for forgiveness, it is for this reason that Jesus prayed for the forgiveness of those who crucified him (luke 23:34) ;we are beneficiaries of God's grace by reason of  Jesus' prayer.  The martyr ,Stephen also did likewise ,Acts 7:60 says "And he kneeled down, and cried with a loud voice, Lord, lay not this sin to  their charge. And when he had said this, he fell asleep"  unity and peace with God was of more value to him than ego and vengeance ;unlike the so- called 'dangerous prayers and fasting ' of hate and vengeance practiced today.     Our individual prosperity is connected to our collective prosperity, therefore ,aspiring to be the only su...

   By Rev Michael Benson Ajayi    "Surely you remember that I was sick when I first brought you the Good News. But even though my condition tempted you to reject me, you did not despise me or turn me away. No, you took me in and cared for me as though I were an angel from God or even Christ Jesus himself." Galatians 4:13‭-‬14 NLT   " The members of the council were amazed when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, for they could see that they were ordinary men with no special training in the Scriptures. They also recognized them as men who had been with Jesus." Acts of the Apostles 4:13 NLT   The call to serve in the Lord's vineyard is the highest call to service . It is by his strength that we are able to accomplish anything . Apostle Paul preached in sickness very often. Preachers do suffer health challenges often , but they keep preaching regardless.  The bible says "For it is [not your strength, but it is] God who is effectively at work in you, ...

  By Rev. Michael Benson Ajayi    "Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus."  Philippians 4:6‭-‬7 NLT    The Church in Philippi was devoted to the course of promoting the gospel by helping God's messengers . They were closely associated with the church at Macedonia and understood the power behind giving by the leading of the Holy Spirit .   Whenever we give by the leading of the Holy Spirit it is different from any type of giving . Holy Spirit- inspired giving is like oxygen , it is something you cannot do without . I once visited a preacher during which we shared God's word and prayed for God's will for his Church in an extraordinary manner , as soon as I left his office I had driven to a about a kilometer when I had a strong...

       Rev. Michael Benson Ajayi   Rev.13:16 -17"And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right  hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or  the number of his name." 2John 1:7 'For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist."        The scriptures speaks of a time when the world's governments will unite to form a one-world government ( this is the idea behind digital money) , that shall be presided over by a maximum religious political ruler , he shall be scary to behold (Dan.8:23) and supernaturally endowed by Satan with the ability to perform false miracles signs and wonders (Rev.13:4).  The scriptures says in 2Thess 2:9 "Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and...

    Rev.Michael Benson Ajayi  Matt 24:40-41 KJV “ Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left. Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left.”    The word  ‘taken’ is the Greek word  ‘paralambano’ it is a clause from two words ‘para ‘ which means to draw near and ‘lambano’  which means to seize or remove , it means  to receive near to assume an office . The scripture describes an event reminiscent of a Sci-Fi movie, where believers   would literarily be removed from the earth into heaven.  It is likened to the event of  Noah’s era .      The scriptures says  Matt 24:37-39  "When the Son of Man returns, it will be like it was in Noah's day.  In those days before the flood, the people were enjoying banquets and parties and weddings right up to the time Noah entere...

  Rev.Michael Benson Ajayi Mathew 24:21 -22"For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.  And except those days  should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened."                     The word 'tribulation'  is the Greek word 'thlipsis' and it means 'to be put under extreme pressure ,to suffer affliction and be in anguish, burdened, trouble. Bible scholars have been studying the scriptures in other to have an understanding of the events of the end times,  the crisis in the middle east , religious extremism  and the imminent threat of a world war have further reinforced their belief that we are in the end times. The church of Christ shall be at the center of the crisis bothering on the end of the ages. This period shall be ch...

By Rev Michael Benson Ajayi    Matt 27:52-53 KJV “And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose, And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many.”     The is one of the most extraordinary event that took place after the resurrection of Jesus Christ three days after His gruesome murder by the religious cartel of His time. The scriptures records that the curtain of the sacred temple was torn from top to bottom (Matt27:51) , something that would require so much strength to do , given the dimension of the veil ( 20 m high, 10 m wide and 10 cm thick ) as thick as the length of your pen. . Nobody was authorized to look beyond the veil except the great high priest who only had access after much oblations were made on his behalf and the worshipers.      This destruction of the veil marked the beginning of a new dawn for humanity. The partition between God and m...
