HAVING A SUCCESSFUL CHRISTIAN MINISTRY WITH MIRACLES IS NO GUARANTEE FOR HEAVEN

By Rev Michael Benson Ajayi 

  Many mistake outward success in ministry for divine approval. Yet Jesus clearly warned in Matthew 7:21–22 (AMP), “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven. Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name drive out demons and do many miracles?’” Christ reveals that miracles, fame, or multitudes do not guarantee entry into heaven.

    God is not impressed with quantity but quality—a narrow and righteous walk. In verses 13–14, Jesus said the way to life is narrow, and only a few find it. These so-called ministers are “ravenous wolves” (v.15), feeding on the flock rather than feeding the flock. They gather “thorns and thistles” (v.17), symbolizing unrepentant sinners kept close as long as money flows. Their doctrine measures grace by material wealth, in line with 1 Timothy 6:5, which speaks of men “corrupted in mind… imagining that godliness is a source of profit.”

   Africa especially Nigeria is full many of such preachers that is why there is institutionalised corruption aided by these preachers . Jesus condemned such workers of iniquity—the meaning of iniquity is  from the Greek word 'anomia,' meaning illegality or lawlessness—and dismissed them: “I never knew you; depart from Me” (Matthew 7:23). They are the spiritual parents of corruption that fuels the murder of Christians in northern Nigeria, they are greedy, and deceptive . True ministry bears fruit of righteousness (Galatians 5:22–23), holiness, and humility before God. “Let everyone who names the name of Christ depart from iniquity” (2 Timothy 2:19).

 In our daily prayers we should seek a healthy appetite for God's word and ask God to expose and deliver our nation from corrupt preachers .

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 Spirit and power to preach righteousness.

BORN AGAIN CHRISTIANS ARE EXEMPTED FROM HELLFIRE

 You shall succeed where others have failed because of the anointing of God's favour upon you.

BORN AGAIN CHRISTIANS ARE EXEMPTED FROM HELLFIRE

By Rev Michael Benson Ajayi 

Qur’an Surah 19:71–72 (Maryam), says:

“And there is none of you but will pass over it (Hell); this is with your Lord a decree which must be accomplished. Then We will save those who feared Allah and leave the wrongdoers within it, on their knees.” — Qur’an 19:71–72  

The Qur'an says all Muslims must taste hell fire and the faithful shall be rescued from it . Jews believe that they will enter heaven by observing the laws of Moses .

   Jesus Christ made it clear that anyone who is born again is completely delivered from condemnation and eternal destruction. In John 3:3 (AMP), He said, “Unless a person is born again [spiritually transformed, renewed, sanctified], he cannot see the kingdom of God.” To be born again means receiving a new life through faith in Jesus Christ. This spiritual rebirth changes our eternal destination from hell to heaven.

    In John 3:16-18, Jesus declared that whoever believes in Him “shall not perish but have everlasting life.” The believer is no longer under God’s wrath but under grace (Romans 8:1), for “There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus.”

    Hellfire is prepared for the devil and his followers (Matthew 25:41), not for those who belong to Christ. When a person is saved, he is transferred from darkness into the kingdom of light (Colossians 1:13). Jesus said in John 5:24, “He who hears My word and believes Him who sent Me has everlasting life and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life.”

    Every born-again Christian has eternal security in Christ (1 John 5:11-13). Salvation is not by works but by grace through faith (Ephesians 2:8-9). The blood of Jesus has paid the full price, making us forever free from the fear of hell.

    Therefore, rejoice and live holy — for you have been redeemed from eternal destruction and sealed for eternal glory (Ephesians 1:13-14).

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 Spirit and power to preach the gospel.

THE BIBLICAL DESCRIPTION OF HELL FIRE

 The plans of the wicked against you shall fail because of the anointing of God's favour upon you.

Good- Life Devotional: THE BIBLICAL DESCRIPTION OF HELL FIRE

(Citing Scriptures from the Amplified Bible)

By Rev Michael Benson Ajayi 

   Hell fire is one of the most solemn and fearful realities revealed in the Word of God. Jesus Christ, more than any other person in Scripture, spoke about it to warn men and women of the eternal consequences of sin. In Matthew 5:22, He declared that those who persist in anger and hatred are “guilty enough to go into the hell fire,” showing that sin of the heart can lead to eternal loss.

    In Matthew 13:41–42, Jesus described hell as “a furnace of fire” where there will be “weeping and grinding of teeth.” This is not symbolic but a vivid expression of conscious suffering and regret. Again, in Mark 9:43–48, the Lord warned that it is better to lose a hand or an eye than to be “cast into hell, into the unquenchable fire… where their worm does not die.” The word unquenchable reveals that the flames of hell never go out.

    Matthew 25:41 shows that hell was originally “prepared for the devil and his angels,” but all who reject God’s mercy in Christ will share that fate. Revelation 20:14–15 further calls it “the lake of fire,” which is “the second death,” an irreversible separation from God’s presence.

   2 Thessalonians 1:8–9 adds that the wicked will “endure the punishment of everlasting destruction, banished from the presence of the Lord,” while Revelation 21:8 lists the fearful, unbelieving, and liars as those destined for “the lake that blazes with fire and brimstone.”

  The baby in the womb may not believe in the existence of the world outside the womb until delivered , so it is with Hell and heaven  until you die as an unbeliever .  Hell is real, but it was never God’s desire for man to perish. Through faith in Jesus Christ, anyone can escape the fire of eternal judgment and receive everlasting life. (John 3:16, Romans 6:23)

  In our daily prayers we should seek a healthy appetite for God's word and righteousness in our families.

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 Spirit and power to preach the gospel.

IT IS NOT GOD’S WILL FOR THE UNGODLY TO RULE THE RIGHTEOUS

 The yoke of oppression is broken off your shoulders because of the anointing of God's favour upon you.

Good -Life Devotional: 

IT IS NOT GOD’S WILL FOR THE UNGODLY TO RULE THE RIGHTEOUS

By Rev Michael Benson Ajayi 

    Psalm 125:3 declares, “For the scepter of wickedness shall not rest on the land allotted to the righteous, lest the righteous reach out their hands to iniquity.” It is against the will of God for the ungodly to rule over the righteous because such governance leads to widespread corruption and moral decay. When the wicked are in authority, sin increases, and even believers are tempted to compromise due to hardship and poverty (Proverbs 29:2). The oppression of the righteous often causes many to question God’s presence and power in the church. As it was in ancient Israel, the heathen now mock, saying, “Where is their God?” (Joel 2:17).

    Therefore, God calls His ministers and intercessors to cry out in fasting and prayer for deliverance from ungodly leadership. Joel 2:17 instructs, “Let the priests, the ministers of the Lord, weep between the porch and the altar, and let them say, Spare Your people, O Lord, and give not Your heritage to reproach.”

    Jesus warned in Matthew 7:21–22 that not everyone who says “Lord, Lord” will enter the Kingdom, but only those who do the will of God. The Greek word for iniquity in that passage means illegality — showing that those who support or profit from unjust governance are living in rebellion against God.

    Christians must therefore uphold righteousness, pray for godly rulers (1 Timothy 2:1–2), and refuse to partake in systems of corruption (Ephesians 5:11), for righteousness exalts a nation (Proverbs 14:34).

  In our daily prayers we should seek a healthy appetite for God's word and righteous governance.

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 Spirit and power to overcome corruption.

ALL POWER IN HEAVEN AND ON EARTH BELONGS TO THE BORN-AGAIN CHRISTIAN

 

The yoke of the fear of failure is broken because of the anointing of God's favour upon you.
Good -Life Devotional: ALL POWER IN HEAVEN AND ON EARTH BELONGS TO THE BORN-AGAIN CHRISTIAN
By Rev Michael Benson Ajayi
   Jesus Christ declared in Matthew 28:18 (AMP), “All authority (all power of absolute rule) in heaven and on earth has been given to Me.” The word all means nothing was left out — the very power by which Moses parted the Red Sea, Elijah called down fire, and Elisha raised the dead was summed up and given to Christ. He is the fullness of divine power and authority.
    Through His resurrection, this power was not kept in heaven but shared with every born-again believer. In Luke 10:19, Jesus said, “Behold, I have given you authority and power to trample upon serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy.” The believer now operates with heaven’s full backing. This authority is not partial or limited, for Christ Himself dwells within us. Romans 8:11 affirms, “If the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ will also give life to your mortal bodies.”
    False preachers claim that God’s power comes in measures, but John 3:34 refutes this, saying, “For He whom God has sent speaks the words of God, for God does not give the Spirit by measure.” The Holy Spirit is a person — not a portion. 2 Corinthians 3:17 says, “Now the Lord is the Spirit,” meaning the fullness of Christ lives in every true believer.
    What we lack is not power, but revelation. Paul prayed in Ephesians 1:18–23 that our eyes may be enlightened to know the immeasurable greatness of His power toward us who believe. We are seated with Christ far above all principalities and powers (Ephesians 2:6). Let us walk boldly in this reality — for greater is He that is in us than he that is in the world (1 John 4:4).
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 Spirit and power to work miracles.

FOLLOWING CORRUPT POLITICIANS AND PREACHERS FOR LOVE OF MONEY EXPOSES FAMILIES TO DEMONIC MANIPULATIONS

 The evil verdict against you shall be overturned because of the anointing of God's favour upon you.

Good -Life Devotional: FOLLOWING CORRUPT POLITICIANS AND PREACHERS FOR LOVE OF MONEY EXPOSES FAMILIES TO DEMONIC MANIPULATIONS

By Rev Michael Benson Ajayi 

   The Scripture warns that “God sent an evil spirit between Abimelech and the men of Shechem” (Judges 9:23 AMP) because of their ungodly alliance rooted in ambition and greed. Likewise, many Christians and families today open demonic doors through partnerships with corrupt politicians or preachers driven by the love of money. Such alliances attract the same evil spirits that once plagued Abimelech’s generation, producing strife, confusion, and moral decay.

    When believers compromise for material gain, they expose their souls to satanic manipulations. The spirit of deception that influenced Ahab and his prophets in 1 Kings 22:20–22 still operates where truth is traded for personal advantage. Many of the struggles Christians face—sexual perversion, addiction, lying, infidelity, addiction to pornography and drugs and tormenting dreams—stem from spiritual contamination caused by these ungodly associations.

   Paul warned that “those who crave to be rich fall into temptation and a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction” (1 Timothy 6:9 AMP). Such greed leads to spiritual bondage, even to the point of selling one’s soul to Satan. The Word commands, “Withdraw yourself from every brother who is sexually immoral or greedy” (1 Corinthians 5:11) and “Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers” (2 Corinthians 6:14).

    The Holy Spirit must guide your political and spiritual affiliations, for eternal consequences await the fearful, the unbelieving, and the corrupt (Revelation 21:8). Let integrity and righteousness—not greed—govern your choices, for “what shall it profit a man if he gains the whole world and loses his soul?” (Mark 8:36).

  In our daily prayers we should seek a healthy appetite for God's word and godliness and contentment.

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 Spirit and power to overcome corruption.

DO NOT SAY IT IS WELL WHILE UNDER ATTACK RESIST THE DEVIL AND HE WILL FLEE

 You are beyond the reach of witchcraft manipulations because of the anointing of God's favour upon you.

Good+Life Devotional: 

DO NOT SAY IT IS WELL WHILE UNDER ATTACK RESIST THE DEVIL AND HE WILL FLEE

By Rev Michael Benson Ajayi 

    As a believer in Jesus Christ, we are commanded to “submit to God, resist the devil, and he will flee from you” (James 4:7 AMP). Many Christians often say, “It is well,” while enduring satanic attacks, forgetting that passivity is not a weapon of warfare. That's Nigerian Christians are being  slain en mass and impoverished as a result of wicked people in power and it's getting worse due to their passivity  in fighting corruption and bad governance.Saying it is well makes things worse . Jesus never did neither did his disciples .(see Acts 5, 2cornthians 10:6) 

   The devil thrives on fear, ignorance, and inaction. To resist him effectively, we must first submit completely to God’s authority and align our hearts with His Word.

The enemy often attacks through thoughts, imaginations, and suggestions that contradict Scripture. The Apostle Paul teaches that we must “cast down imaginations and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God” (2 Corinthians 10:5–6). Every negative or fearful thought must be confronted with the truth of God’s Word. When Satan tempted Jesus in the wilderness, Jesus resisted by declaring, “It is written.” This is our model for victory.

Resisting the devil means standing firm in faith, prayer, and confession. It means refusing to yield to temptation, depression, fear, or anger. When you speak the Word of God boldly, you remind the enemy that you know your authority in Christ. Luke 10:19 declares that believers have power over all the power of the enemy.

Do not tolerate demonic oppression or accept defeat as normal. Submit to God, stay filled with His Spirit, and resist the devil steadfastly. When you stand firm on the Word, the devil will flee in terror, for he cannot withstand a believer who knows and exercises divine authority in Christ Jesus.

  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 Spirit and power to overcome poverty.
