Good -Life Devotional: THE POWER OF THE NEW COVENANT IS VOICE-ACTIVATED

By Rev Michael Benson Ajayi 

   The principle of speaking in faith is foundational to the New Covenant. God designed His kingdom to operate through the spoken word, and this truth is evident throughout Scripture. Numbers 14:28 (AMP) states, “Just as you have spoken in My hearing, so I will do to you.” This reveals that our words carry authority in the spiritual realm.

   Jesus reinforced this principle in Mark 11:23-24, teaching that faith-filled words can move mountains. When we speak in faith, believing in our hearts, we activate divine power. The prayer of faith is not passive—it declares God’s will into existence. James 5:17-18 shows how Elijah applied this principle: he declared the heavens shut, and it did not rain until he spoke again in faith.

    This principle originates in Genesis 1, where God spoke the universe into existence. He didn’t merely think creation into being—He declared it. Since we are made in His image (Genesis 1:26-27), we, too, are called to decree His will on earth. John 15:16 affirms that whatever we ask in Jesus’ name, the Father will do.

   Jesus said in Luke 10:19 that He has given us authority over the enemy. When we speak God’s Word in faith, we activate His power for healing, provision, and the advancement of His kingdom. As Proverbs 18:21 declares, “Death and life are in the power of the tongue.” Speak in faith, and watch the kingdom of God manifest!

 In our daily prayers we should seek a healthy appetite for God's word and boldness to speak his word when faced with adversity.

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 change circumstances.

WE ARE CHILDREN OF THE PROPHETS AND THE NEW COVENANT

 The anointing of God's favour is healing you wherever you are hurting now.

Good -Life Devotional: WE ARE CHILDREN OF THE PROPHETS AND THE NEW COVENANT

By Rev Michael Benson Ajayi 

   In Acts 3:25, Peter reminds the Jews, “You are the sons of the prophets and heirs of the covenant which God made with your fathers, saying to Abraham, ‘And in your seed all the families of the earth shall be blessed.’” This verse declares that all who believe in Christ are partakers of God’s covenant blessings, not just a select few.( Romans 2;29)

   Under the New Covenant, there is no hierarchy of spiritual inheritance. Hebrews 12:24 tells us that Jesus is “the mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood, which speaks of mercy”—His blood equally forgives all who believe. No person is more privileged in Christ than another; we are all equally redeemed and justified (Galatians 3:28).

    Yet, false preachers claim some individuals are “more blessed” by virtue of being their spiritual “sons.” This contradicts Scripture. The apostle Paul affirms in 2 Corinthians 4:13, “We have the same spirit of faith, according to what is written, ‘I believed, therefore I spoke.’” The faith of the prophets, including David, is the same faith we possess in Christ.

   Moreover, Romans 8:17 says, “If we are children, then we are heirs—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ.” Every believer is an heir, not just a select few. The New Covenant is eternal (Hebrews 13:20), ensuring that no one has a greater claim to God’s blessings than another. In Christ, we are one body, equally loved and equally blessed (Ephesians 4:4-6). Let no man deceive you otherwise.

  In our daily prayers we should seek a healthy appetite for God's word and love and unity in the church .

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.

BY ONE SACRIFICE FOR SINS FOREVER

 You shall not be stranded because of the anointing of God's favour upon you. 

Good- Life Devotional: 

BY ONE SACRIFICE FOR SINS  FOREVER

By Rev Michael Benson Ajayi 

    Hebrews 10:12 declares, “But when Christ had offered for all time one sacrifice for sins, He sat down at the right hand of God.” This verse affirms that Jesus' sacrifice was final and sufficient, unlike the repeated sacrifices under the Old Covenant, which could never make a person perfect before God.

   Under the Old Testament system, offerings had to be made continuously because they could not truly remove sin (Hebrews 10:1-4). This idea  is what is behind religious pilgrimages, fastings and offerings .  However, Jesus’ sacrifice accomplished what the Law could not—perfecting believers forever. Hebrews 10:18 states, “Now where there is forgiveness of these things, there is no longer any offering for sin.” This means that once Christ secured forgiveness, no further sacrifices were necessary.    

   False teachers exploit people by demanding all kinds of offerings, but true righteousness comes only through Christ’s atonement.

This fulfillment aligns with God’s promise of the New Covenant: “I will put My laws upon their hearts, and write them on their minds” (Hebrews 10:16-17). Through the Holy Spirit, believers are transformed inwardly, not by external rituals. Psalm 32:1-2 reinforces this, proclaiming, “Blessed is the one whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered.” This righteousness is entirely vicarious—Christ’s righteousness is credited to believers.

Jesus’ words to the repentant thief on the cross illustrate this truth: “Today you shall be with Me in Paradise” (Luke 23:43). The thief performed no religious acts, yet by faith alone, he was made righteous. Because of Christ’s once-for-all sacrifice, no further offerings are needed—only faith in Him.

 In our daily prayers we should seek a healthy appetite for God's word and resistance against indoctrination.

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 stagnation.

GOD’S PROMISE OF ETERNAL LIFE

 That which was lost shall be restored by the anointing of God's favour upon you.

Good -Life Devotional: GOD’S PROMISE OF ETERNAL LIFE

By Rev Michael Benson Ajayi 

    God’s promise of eternal life is one of the most profound truths of Scripture. 1 John 2:25 (AMP) declares, "This is the promise which He Himself promised us—eternal life." However, many people, like the rich young ruler in Matthew 19:16-21, struggle with the idea that eternal life is not earned by good deeds or religious excellence. This young man sought eternal life through his obedience to the law, yet Jesus showed him that salvation comes through following Him, not through human effort.

Jesus is the source of eternal life. In John 10:28, He promises, "And I give them eternal life, and they will never, ever perish; and no one will ever snatch them out of My hand." Likewise, John 17:2-3 reveals that eternal life comes from knowing the only true God and Jesus Christ, whom He has sent. The conjunction "and" in this passage equates Jesus with God, confirming His divine nature.

   Furthermore, John 6:54 states, "He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day." This signifies that receiving Christ, the living Word of God, leads to eternal life. Since only God can grant eternal life, and Jesus does so, He is God in the flesh. Peter recognized this truth when he declared, "Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life" (John 6:68).

   Eternal life is God's gift, received by faith in Jesus Christ (Romans 6:23, Ephesians 2:8-9). Will you accept His promise today?

  In our daily prayers we should seek a healthy appetite for God's word and awareness of the eternal life in Christ.

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 live in abundance.

ALL OF THE PROMISES OF GOD ARE YES AND AMEN IN CHRIST.

 God's blessing upon you is irreversible because of the anointing of God's favour upon you.

Good -Life Devotional: ALL OF THE PROMISES OF GOD ARE YES AND AMEN IN CHRIST. 

  By Rev Michael Benson Ajayi 

    The Bible assures us that every promise God has made finds its fulfillment in Jesus Christ. 2 Corinthians 1:20 (AMP) declares, “For as many as are the promises of God, in Christ they are [all answered] ‘Yes.’ So through Him we say our ‘Amen’ to the glory of God.” This means that every divine promise—whether for salvation, provision, healing, or eternal life—is guaranteed in Christ.

    However, the certainty of God’s promises does not automatically translate into personal experience without faith. Paul speaks of this principle in 1 Corinthians 9:26 (AMP): “Therefore I do not run without a definite goal; I do not flail around like one beating the air [just shadow boxing].” This shows that faith must be intentional, focused, and confident in God’s word.

    Faith is the key to receiving God’s promises. Hebrews 4:1-3 warns that many Israelites failed to enter God’s rest because of unbelief. Likewise, many believers today miss out on God’s blessings due to doubt and fear. Instead, we are urged to “approach [God’s throne] with confidence” (Hebrews 4:16).

To receive from God, we must stand firm in faith (James 1:6-7), hold fast to His promises (Hebrews 10:23), and believe that what He has spoken will come to pass (Numbers 23:19). Let us, therefore, trust wholly in Christ, for in Him, all of God’s promises are fulfilled!

  In our daily prayers we should seek a healthy appetite for God's word and commitment to trust in his promises regardless of the circumstances.

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 walk in divine health.

THE DANGERS OF COMPETITIVENESS AND VAINGLORY IN RELIGIOUS LEADERSHIP

 You shall not be put to shame because of the anointing of God's favour upon you.

Good -Life Devotional: THE DANGERS OF COMPETITIVENESS AND VAINGLORY IN RELIGIOUS LEADERSHIP

By Rev Michael Benson Ajayi 

     The Bible warns against self-centered ambition and pride. Philippians 2:3 (AMP) states, "Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit [through factional motives, or strife], but with an attitude of humility [being neither arrogant nor self-righteous], regard others as more important than yourselves." Unfortunately, many religious leaders in Africa have turned ministry into a competition, striving to be the biggest and most influential. This has placed an enormous financial and spiritual strain on churchgoers.

    A major symptom of this unhealthy competition is the relentless construction of religious edifices. Members are often manipulated into giving funds meant for family sustenance or business investments. The economic impact has been devastating—many families struggle, marriages break down, and individuals become disillusioned with the faith. This aligns with Colossians 2:23, which warns against excessive religious devotion that neglects practical needs.

   Despite grand promises of wealth through giving, Nigeria still has one of the lowest per capita incomes. Rather than promoting financial stewardship, many religious leaders exploit their followers, leading to widespread economic hardship. This culture of extravagance is also mirrored in the entertainment industry, where the pursuit of vainglory influences societal values.

   True humility in leadership means prioritizing the well-being of others and serving without selfish ambition. We should recognize others' achievements without striving to outshine them. Instead of seeking glory, religious leaders should focus on genuine service, fostering a faith that builds both spiritual and economic stability in society.

  In our daily prayers we should seek a healthy appetite for God's word and humility in the service to God and humanity .

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 vainglory.

THE NECESSITY OF SPIRITUAL AUTHORITY IN THE CHURCH

 The yoke of confusion and backwardness is broken because of the anointing of God's favour upon you.

Good+Life Devotional; THE NECESSITY OF SPIRITUAL AUTHORITY IN THE CHURCH

By Rev Michael Benson Ajayi 

     God has established spiritual authority within His Church, and submission to it is not optional for believers. Romans 13:1-3 (AMP) states, “Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God [granted by His permission and sanction], and those which exist have been put in place by God.” This principle applies not only to civil authorities but also to spiritual leadership.

    The idea of a “free-spirited” Christian who resists authority is rebellion, which is equated with witchcraft. 1 Samuel 15:23 warns, “For rebellion is as [serious as] the sin of divination (fortune-telling), and disobedience is as [serious as] false religion and idolatry.” When individuals reject God-ordained leadership, they open doors to deception, disorder, and even demonic influence in the Church.

    God has provided pastors to guide His people. Jeremiah 3:15 says, “Then I will give you [spiritual] shepherds after My own heart, who will feed you with knowledge and [true] understanding.” Likewise, Ephesians 4:11-12 emphasizes that Christ gave apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers to equip and mature the Church. Maturity in Christ requires submission to these spiritual authorities.

   Hebrews 13:17 commands believers to “Obey your spiritual leaders and submit to them [recognizing their authority over you], for they are keeping watch over your souls.” Refusing to do so is rebellion against God’s divine order. True freedom is found in obedience to God’s structure, not in self-willed independence.

 In our daily prayers we should seek a healthy appetite for God's word and humility to be under authority.
