BE BLAMELESS: A CALL TO HOLINESS AND LEADERSHIP

 Your family shall be far from disaster because of the anointing of God's favour upon you.

Good -Life Devotional; BE BLAMELESS: A CALL TO HOLINESS AND LEADERSHIP

By Rev Michael Benson Ajayi 

   The Bible commands believers to live blameless lives in anticipation of Christ’s return. In 2 Peter 3:14 (AMP), it says: “So, beloved, since you are looking forward to these things, be diligent to be found by Him at His return spotless and blameless, in peace.” Blamelessness is not sinless perfection but a lifestyle of integrity, holiness, and obedience. It reflects a heart that is sincere before God and man.

    Blamelessness is also a requirement for church leadership. Titus 1:6 states: “If any man is blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful children not accused of dissipation or insubordination.” This standard ensures leaders are examples in conduct, not just in speech. Without blamelessness, leadership becomes hypocrisy.

Furthermore, Philippians 2:15 urges believers to “be blameless and innocent, children of God without fault in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world.” A blameless life is a witness to the world of the transformative power of Christ.

Other scriptures affirm this high calling. Job 1:1 describes Job as “blameless and upright.” 1 Thessalonians 5:23 prays that “your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.”

Blamelessness is not optional for the Christian; it is a divine expectation. Through grace and the Spirit’s help, we are empowered to live holy, reflecting Christ until He returns. Let us strive to be found blameless in His sight.

 In our daily prayers we should seek a healthy appetite for God's word and to be found blameless .

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 blameless.

SIN RESULTS IN POLITICAL,  EMOTIONAL AND FINANCIAL BONDAGE

By Rev Michael Benson Ajayi
Sin gives the enemy license to harm God's people 1 John 5:18 'We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not."
  Here are key scriptures showing that Israel went into captivity because of their sins and transgressions. These passages emphasize God's justice in punishing rebellion, idolatry, and disobedience to His covenant.
Old Testament Scriptures
1. Leviticus 26:14, 33 (AMP) — Warning of Captivity
“But if you do not obey Me and do not [obediently] do all these commandments… I will scatter you among the nations and will draw out the sword after you as an enemy, and your land will be desolate and your cities shall be a waste.”
2. Deuteronomy 28:15, 36, 41, 64 (AMP) — Curses for Disobedience
“But it shall come about, if you do not obey the Lord your God… The Lord will bring you and your king… to a nation that neither you nor your fathers have known...”
“You will father sons and daughters but they will not be yours, for they will go into captivity.” Children suffer the effect of their parents sins .
“The Lord will scatter you among all peoples, from one end of the earth to the other…”
3. 2 Kings 17:7-8, 18 (AMP) — Assyrian Captivity of Israel
“Now this came about because the sons of Israel had sinned against the Lord their God… they followed the customs of the nations…”
“So the Lord was very angry with Israel and removed them from His sight; none was left except the tribe of Judah.”
4. 2 Kings 24:3-4 — Judah’s Exile Begins
“Surely at the command of the Lord this came upon Judah, to remove them… because of the sins of Manasseh, according to all that he had done…”
5. 2 Chronicles 36:14-17 — Final Fall of Judah
“All the leaders of the priests and the people became more and more unfaithful… until the wrath of the Lord rose against His people, until there was no remedy.”
6. Jeremiah 25:8-11 — Babylonian Captivity Prophesied
“Because you have not listened to My words… this whole land will be a desolation… and these nations shall serve the king of Babylon seventy years.”
7. Jeremiah 29:14 — Restoration After Captivity
“I will bring you back from captivity… declares the Lord.”
8. Ezekiel 39:23-24 — Reason for Their Captivity
“The nations will know that the house of Israel went into exile for their iniquity… I hid My face from them and gave them into the hand of their adversaries…”
    These scriptures show that captivity was not random but a direct result of violating God's covenant. However, God also promised restoration when they would repent and return to Him (see Deuteronomy 30:1–5, Jeremiah 29:11-14).
In our daily prayers we should seek a healthy appetite for God's word and a national repentance from sin .
PRAYER: Heavenly Father forgive us of our 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.

You Cannot Be a Christian and a Sinner at the Same Time
By Rev Michael Benson Ajayi
    The Word of God is clear: “Whosoever is born of God does not commit sin; for His seed remains in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God” (1 John 3:9). This does not refer to isolated acts of sin, but a continuous habit of sinning. Likewise, 1 John 5:18 says, “We know that whosoever is born of God sins not; but he that is begotten of God keeps himself, and that wicked one touches him not.”
    True Christians have the nature of Christ, not of sin. 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 lists those who will not inherit the kingdom of God: “Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners.” These terms refer to willful, unrepentant sinners.
   Contrary to modern teachings that twist grace as a license to sin, Titus 2:11-12 says, “The grace of God...teaches us to deny ungodliness and worldly lusts...to live soberly, righteously, and godly.” GRACE IS POWER TO LIVE HOLY—not permission to sin. Revelation 21:8 warns that the fearful, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, whoremongers, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake of fire.
   Jesus came to destroy the works of the devil (1 John 3:8). To claim Christ and live in sin is self-deception. A man cannot serve two masters (Matthew 6:24). You are either a child of God or a servant of sin—not both (Romans 6:16).
  In our daily prayers we should seek a healthy appetite for God's word and power to overcome sin by casting out the thoughts of the particular sin seducing us.
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.

NO CHRISTIAN IS A SINNER, AND NO SINNER IS A CHRISTIAN (Part 1)

 You shall not fall into the enemy's trap because of the anointing of God's favour upon you.

Good -Life Devotional; NO CHRISTIAN IS A SINNER, AND NO SINNER IS A CHRISTIAN (Part 1) 

By Rev Michael Benson Ajayi 

True Christianity demands total repentance. In Acts 2:38, Peter declared, “Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.” Likewise, Acts 3:19 commands, “Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out.” These verses show that repentance is the foundation of Christian conversion.

     Repentance means a complete change of mind, heart, and direction. The Greek word 'metanoia' implies turning away from sin and turning fully to God. A Christian, therefore, is not someone who merely believes but one who has been born again and has forsaken sin.

     The idea that a Christian can habitually live in sin and plan to repent later, especially before a priest, is both unbiblical and dangerous. What if death comes while they are in the act of sin? There is no second chance after death (Hebrews 9:27).

     The grace of God does not permit sin; rather, it empowers righteousness. 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 warns clearly: “Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God?... neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers… shall inherit the kingdom of God.” The Greek words here—like pornoi (fornicators), eidōlolatrai (idolaters), and moichoi (adulterers)—refer to those practicing sin.

    No one can claim the name Christian while living as a sinner. True Christians live righteously by the power of God's grace, having turned from sin completely.

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

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.

IN CHRIST, WE HAVE BOLDNESS AND ACCESS TO THE FATHER

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

Good -Life Devotional: IN CHRIST, WE HAVE BOLDNESS AND ACCESS TO THE FATHER

By Rev Michael Benson Ajayi 

    One of the greatest privileges of the believer is the unrestricted access to God through Jesus Christ. Ephesians 3:12 declares, "In whom we have boldness and confident access through faith in Him" (AMP). This access is not reserved for a select few but granted to all who are in Christ—born again and washed by His blood.

   Through the finished work of Christ, the veil that once separated man from God has been torn (Matthew 27:51). Hebrews 10:19 affirms this truth: “Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus.” We no longer need a priest or a sacrifice of animals; we enter God’s very presence—His holy throne room—with boldness.

   Our boldness is rooted in identity. According to 1 John 4:17, “As He is, so are we in this world.” Just as a woman takes on her husband’s name and status by marriage, so the believer shares Christ’s standing before the Father. This assures us boldness, not only now in prayer, but even on the day of judgment.

   Hebrews 4:16 urges us: “Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.” We are not strangers, but sons (Galatians 4:6), and as sons we enjoy free, confident access to our Father.

   Let every believer cast aside fear, condemnation, and unworthiness. In Christ, our access is permanent, powerful, and full of grace.

 In our daily prayers we should seek a healthy appetite for God's word and boldness to preach 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 overcome the fear of failure.

THERE IS ONLY ONE MEDIATOR BETWEEN GOD AND MAN, AND IT ISN'T MARY

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

Good -Life Devotional: 

THERE IS ONLY ONE MEDIATOR BETWEEN GOD AND MAN, AND IT ISN'T MARY

By Rev Michael Benson Ajayi 

  The Bible clearly states in 1 Timothy 2:5 (AMP): "For there is [only] one God, and [only] one Mediator between God and mankind, the Man Christ Jesus." The Greek word for mediator is "mesitēs" (μεσίτης), meaning one who intervenes between two to restore peace—a go-between. Jesus alone qualifies as this mediator due to His sinless nature and atoning sacrifice.

Mary, though highly favored (Luke 1:28), does not qualify as a mediator for the following reasons:

   1) MARY WAS A SINNER IN NEED OF SALVATION. She acknowledged this in Luke 1:47, "My spirit rejoices in God my Savior." Only sinners need a Savior.

  2) SHE WAS NOT OMNISCIENT OR OMNIPRESENT. Only Christ has the divine capacity to hear all prayers (Hebrews 4:15-16).

3) JESUS NEVER DIRECTED ANYONE TO PRAY THROUGH MARY. Instead, He taught us to pray to the Father in His name (John 14:13-14).

4) THE EARLY CHURCH NEVER TAUGHT MARY AS A MEDIATOR. Apostolic teaching focused solely on Christ as the way to the Father (John 14:6; Acts 4:12).

5) MARY NEEDED TO BE BORN AGAIN. In Acts 1:14, she was among the disciples waiting for the Holy Spirit. She was part of the 120 in Acts 2:1-4 who received the Spirit—evidence she had to be regenerated like everyone else (John 3:3).

   Salvation is in Christ alone. Elevating Mary as mediator is unbiblical an abomination before God (Luke16;15)  and detracts from the sufficiency of Jesus' finished work.

In our daily prayers we should seek a healthy appetite for God's word and the revelation of Jesus 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 overcome stagnation.

FALSE PROPHETS CAUSE GOD'S PEOPLE TO ERR

 Your family shall be protected against evil manipulations because of the anointing of God's favour upon you.

Good-Life Devotional: FALSE PROPHETS CAUSE GOD'S PEOPLE TO ERR

By Rev Michael Benson Ajayi 

    False prophets are a danger to any nation and generation. Their deceitful influence leads people away from God’s will and results in widespread corruption and destruction. God declared through the prophet Jeremiah, “I have heard what the prophets say who prophesy lies in my name… they cause my people to err” (Jeremiah 23:23). These false prophets bring confusion, promoting sin under the disguise of spirituality.

    Isaiah lamented that even the prophets and priests “have erred through strong drink… they are swallowed up of wine” (Isaiah 28:7). Such spiritual leaders intoxicated with literal alcohol and pride have raised a generation addicted to wine and pleasure rather than the Word of God. “Woe unto them that rise up early… that they may follow strong drink” (Isaiah 5:11). This lifestyle fosters a culture of addiction, weak moral discipline, and confusion.

   Leaders have become champions of wine (Isaiah 5:22), unable to discern justice. This has led to national mismanagement and bad governance. As Jeremiah declared, “I have seen folly in the prophets of Samaria… they cause my people Israel to err” (Jeremiah 23:13). Instead of teaching righteousness, they promote bribery and shortcut paths to success (Micah 3:11).

   But God has a remnant. He said in Isaiah 35:8, “a highway shall be there… the way of holiness; the unclean shall not pass over it.” True prophets must uphold this standard. God promises, “I will deliver my people out of your hand” (Ezekiel 13:21), freeing them from deception. Every believer must return to the Word and test every spirit (1 John 4:1).

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

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 false preachers.
