SAVED BY RIGHTEOUSNESS

By Rev Michael Benson Ajayi 

    Righteousness is our spiritual armor, a shield against the enemy's schemes. Isaiah 54:17 declares, “No weapon that is formed against you will succeed; And every tongue that rises against you in judgment you will condemn. This peace, righteousness, security, and triumph over opposition is the heritage of the servants of the Lord...” God promises His people protection, but sin compromises this divine defense.

Ezekiel 14:14-20 reminds us that even the righteousness of faithful men like Noah, Daniel, and Job could only save themselves, not others. This emphasizes personal accountability. When Satan attacks, he first lures believers into sin, weakening their spiritual defenses. As 1 John 5:18 states, “The one who was born of God keeps him safe, and the evil one does not touch him.” Holiness fortifies us against harm.

The Bible shows the dangers of unrepented sin. The man in 1 Corinthians 5:5, involved in immorality, was handed over to Satan “for the destruction of the flesh, so that his spirit may be saved.” Sin exposed him to judgment, but repentance offered restoration. Similarly, Ananias and Sapphira were struck down for lying to the Holy Spirit (Acts 5), illustrating how sin can lead to destruction.

To remain protected, believers must embrace righteousness, confess sin, and live in obedience. Ephesians 6:14 urges us to put on the breastplate of righteousness. When we walk in holiness, Satan’s schemes cannot prevail, and God’s promises of peace and security endure.

In our daily prayers we should seek a healthy appetite for God's word and protection from sin .

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 temptation.

THE RIGHTEOUS SHALL PROSPER UNDER ADVERSITY

By Rev Michael Benson Ajayi 

    God’s promises to the righteous shine brightest in times of adversity. Genesis 26 highlights Isaac's obedience during a famine. Despite challenging circumstances, Isaac obeyed God’s command to stay in Gerar rather than fleeing to Egypt. He sowed in the land and reaped a hundredfold in the same year, for “the Lord blessed him” (Genesis 26:12). This teaches that God’s blessings are not bound by human limitations or economic conditions.

Psalm 4:1 reminds believers of God’s faithfulness in distress: “Answer me when I call, O God of my righteousness! You have relieved me in my distress; be gracious to me and hear my prayer.” When Christians rely on God, He anchors them, granting peace and provision even amidst challenges.

    Scripture encourages Christians, especially leaders, to engage in gainful employment or entrepreneurial ventures to ensure the church lacks nothing. Proverbs 10:4 teaches, “The diligent hand brings wealth,” while 2 Thessalonians 3:10 exhorts, “If anyone is not willing to work, neither should he eat.” Through honest labor and business, believers earn respect from outsiders, as seen in 1 Corinthians 4:11-13, where Paul highlights his work ethic.

God’s promise in Philippians 4:19 is unwavering: “And my God will supply all your needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus.” In every season, God prospers the righteous who trust in Him, apply wisdom, and remain steadfast. Even in adversity, believers are called to thrive and be testimonies of God’s faithfulness.

   In our daily prayers we should seek a healthy appetite for God's word and wisdom for creativity, integrity and diligence in our duties .

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 prosper in adversity.

GOD DELIGHTS IN THE PROSPERITY OF THE RIGHTEOUS

 The curse of poverty and stagnation is broken because of the anointing of God's favour upon you.

Good -Life Devotional: GOD DELIGHTS IN THE PROSPERITY OF THE RIGHTEOUS

By Rev Michael Benson Ajayi 

   Psalm 35:27 declares, “Let them shout for joy and rejoice, who favor my vindication and want what is right for me; Let them say continually, ‘The Lord be magnified, who delights in the prosperity of His servant.’” 

    This verse reveals God’s heart toward those committed to righteousness. God is pleased to bless His servants, not for selfish gain, but to empower them to further His kingdom.

Zechariah 1:17 affirms this truth, saying, “Proclaim further, saying, ‘Thus says the Lord of hosts, “My cities shall again overflow with prosperity, and the Lord will again comfort Zion and again choose Jerusalem.”’” This prosperity is not merely material; it represents an outpouring of God's favor, enabling His people to spread the gospel effectively. The teaching of righteousness brings life and transformation to the world, and we should fervently pray for the success of those committed to this work.

Proverbs 11:30 adds, “The fruit of the [consistently] righteous is a tree of life, and he who is wise captures and wins souls [for God—he gathers them for eternity].” Those who promote God’s righteousness bear eternal fruit, and their work advances His purposes.

    We should, therefore, intercede for teachers, preachers, and missionaries who proclaim God’s truth. Philippians 4:19 reminds us that God supplies all our needs according to His riches in glory. As we align ourselves with His mission, He provides abundantly, ensuring that His work prospers through us.

  Let us rejoice in God’s provision and continually pray for the prosperity of those advancing His righteousness. Their success is a testimony of His goodness and a channel for His glory.

  In our daily prayers we should seek a healthy appetite for God's word and for the prosperity of those committed to spreading the message of righteousness . 

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.

BE DEEPLY ROOTED AND WELL-GROUNDED IN CHRIST

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

Good -Life Devotional: BE DEEPLY ROOTED AND WELL-GROUNDED IN CHRIST

By Rev Michael Benson Ajayi 

   To live a victorious and purposeful Christian life, believers must be deeply rooted and well-grounded in Christ. This principle is beautifully highlighted in Ephesians 3:17, which says, "so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through your faith. And may you, having been [deeply] rooted and [securely] grounded in love..." (AMP). Being rooted in Christ means establishing a firm foundation of faith that remains unshaken, no matter the storms of life.

Colossians 2:7 further elaborates, "having been deeply rooted [in Him] and now being continually built up in Him and [becoming increasingly more] established in your faith, just as you were taught, and overflowing in it with gratitude." As trees draw strength and nourishment from their roots, Christians must draw spiritual strength from Christ through prayer, studying the Word, and consistent fellowship with Him.

Psalm 1:3 compares the righteous to a tree planted by streams of water, yielding fruit in its season and prospering in all it does. To be established, we must anchor ourselves in God’s truth and His love, allowing Him to guide every aspect of our lives.

When we are rooted in Christ, our lives reflect stability, fruitfulness, and resilience. We can face trials, knowing that our foundation is secure in Him. As Jesus said in John 15:5, "I am the Vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in Me and I in him bears much fruit; for apart from Me you can do nothing."

Let us daily seek to deepen our roots in Christ and be unwavering in faith, reflecting His love and glory to the world.

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 be fruitful.

HOW TO GUARD Y

 You shall not be a victim of evil manipulations because of the anointing of God's favour upon you.

Good -Life Devotional: HOW TO GUARD YOUR HEART AGAINST EVIL INFLUENCE 

By Rev Michael Benson Ajayi 

   Romans 12:2

" And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God."

Your heart is the vehicle that translates the blessings of the lord from the spiritual into the physical . The emotional and  physical state of your life is a reflection of the state of your heart. It is easier to see the power of God at work in our lives when our hearts are pure .  The devil attacks us by planting evil thoughts in our hearts by our permission. Once a thought is planted, the outcome is inevitable whether  good or evil. 

    Here are some ways to guard your heart against negative influences, with supporting Bible verses from the Amplified Bible (AMP):

1. FILL YOUR HEART WITH GOD’S WORD

Meditate on Scripture to strengthen your mind and spirit against negativity.

“Your word I have treasured and stored in my heart, that I may not sin against You.” (Psalm 119:11 AMP)

2. PRAY WITHOUT CEASING

Stay connected to God through prayer for guidance and protection.

“Do not be anxious or worried about anything, but in everything by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, continue to make your specific requests known to God.” (Philippians 4:6 AMP)

3. GUARD YOUR THOUGHTS

FOCUS ON POSITIVE AND GODLY THOUGHTS TO COUNTER NEGATIVITY.

“Finally, believers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable and worthy of respect, whatever is right and confirmed by God’s word...think continually on these things.” (Philippians 4:8 AMP)

4. CHOOSE YOUR ASSOCIATIONS WISELY

Surround yourself with uplifting and Christ-centered relationships.

“Do not be deceived: ‘Bad company corrupts good morals.’” (1 Corinthians 15:33 AMP)

5. AVOID TEMPTING SITUATIONS

Stay away from environments that encourage ungodly behavior. Block friends that send porn to you, delete the videos and unsubscribe from porn sites if you are struggling with the negative influence of porn. 

“Turn my eyes away from vanity [all those worldly, meaningless things that distract—let Your priorities be mine], and restore me with renewed energy in Your ways.” (Psalm 119:37 AMP)

 In our daily prayers we should seek a healthy appetite for God's word and protection from bad influence.

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 and stagnation.

REASONS WHY THE DEVIL WANTS TO DISCREDIT THE BIBLE ( PART 2)

 Those looking forward to your failure shall be disappointed because of the anointing of God's favour upon you.

Good -Life Devotional; REASONS WHY THE DEVIL WANTS TO DISCREDIT THE BIBLE ( PART 2) 

By Rev Michael Benson Ajayi

    Luke 8:11

"Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God. "

  

Luke 4:4

" And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God. "

  The word of God cannot be separated from God . It is the power for salvation and the source of our faith in God . God is revealed through his word   Satan knows this and seeks to take people captive through the ignorance of the word of God revealed in the bible. Here are some more reasons why the devil discredits the bible . 

6. TO PROMOTE FALSE TEACHINGS

Discrediting the Bible opens the door for Satan to spread lies and deception.

"For false messiahs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect." (Matthew 24:24)

7. TO ATTACK JESUS CHRIST’S AUTHORITY

Satan seeks to discredit the Bible to deny Jesus’ divinity and authority.

"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." (John 1:1)

8. TO HINDER SPIRITUAL GROWTH

Without the Bible, believers lack the nourishment needed for growth and maturity.

"Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up in your salvation." (1 Peter 2:2)

9. TO DESTROY HOPE

The Bible provides hope in the promises of God. Satan discredits it to foster despair.

"For everything that was written in the past was written to teach us, so that through the endurance taught in the Scriptures and the encouragement they provide we might have hope." (Romans 15:4)

10. TO PREPARE FOR HIS FINAL REBELLION

Satan seeks to discredit the Bible to pave the way for his ultimate rebellion against God.

"They will make war against the Lamb, but the Lamb will triumph over them because He is Lord of lords and King of kings—and with Him will be His called, chosen, and faithful followers." (Revelation 17:14)

   By discrediting the Bible, Satan aims to disrupt God’s plan for humanity. However, believers are called to stand firm in faith, trusting the Word of God as the ultimate source of truth

  In our daily prayers seek for a healthy appetite for God's word and sensitivity to the leading of the Holy Spirit.

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 righteously.

REASONS WHY THE DEVIL WANTS TO DISCREDIT THE BIBLE (PART 1)

 Do not be afraid , the anointing of God's favour will not allow you to be put to shame .

Good -Life Devotional: REASONS WHY THE DEVIL WANTS TO DISCREDIT THE BIBLE (PART 1) 

By Rev Michael Benson Ajayi 

2 Timothy 3:16

" All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:" 

 Satan seeks to discredit the Bible because it is the Word of God, which reveals truth, salvation, and hope. Below are ten reasons why Satan tries to undermine Scripture, supported by Bible verses:

1. TO PREVENT PEOPLE FROM KNOWING GOD

Satan wants to keep people from understanding the truth about God and His character.

"But if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing. The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel that displays the glory of Christ, who is the image of God." (2 Corinthians 4:3-4)

2. TO UNDERMINE FAITH IN GOD'S WORD

By discrediting the Bible, Satan attempts to erode trust in God's promises.

"Now the serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals the Lord God had made. He said to the woman, 'Did God really say...?'" (Genesis 3:1)

3. TO CONFUSE PEOPLE ABOUT THE TRUTH

Satan thrives in confusion and wants people to doubt the Bible’s reliability.

"For God is not a God of confusion but of peace, as in all the churches of the saints." (1 Corinthians 14:33)

4. TO LEAD PEOPLE INTO SIN

By discrediting Scripture, Satan can persuade people to reject God's moral standards.

"Your word I have treasured and stored in my heart, that I may not sin against You." (Psalm 119:11, AMP)

5. TO PREVENT SALVATION

Satan works to keep people from understanding the Bible’s message of salvation through Christ.

"So faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ." (Romans 10:17)

  In our daily prayers we should seek a healthy appetite for God's word and confidence to defend the gospel.

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.
