EVERYTHING IS READY

Sep 13, 2023

  By Rev Michael Benson Ajayi 

 Luke 14:16-17 NIV Jesus replied: "A certain man was preparing a great banquet and invited many guests. At the time of the banquet he sent his servant to tell those who had been invited, 'Come, for everything is now ready.' 

        God’s will is for humanity to dwell with Him in His kingdom in perfect harmony for eternity. It is a place of celebration and rejoicing in everlasting peace and unlimited joy  . It is symbolized in the parable of the marriage feast in Luke 14:16-24 were an open ticket has been issued to all and sundry without any exception. The beauty of this invitation is that all expenses have been paid. The greatest tragedy that could ever befall a man is to reject this once in a lifetime opportunity (Hebrew 9:27). Many unfortunately for the fear of being accountable to a higher authority reject this offer while for some others; it is as a result of ignorance of the consequences of rejecting God’s offer.

         The two major excuses often given for rejecting God’s invitation revolves around (1)pride and love for money, property acquisition and maintenance  and (2) emotional ties (Luke 14:19-21)these are baits in the hands of the enemy. We are at liberty to acquire whatsoever we desire but it isn’t God’s will that we be enslaved by anything. 1 Corinthians 6:12 AMP says” Everything is permissible (allowable and lawful) for me; but not all things are helpful (good for me to do, expedient and profitable when considered with other things). Everything is lawful for me, but I will not become the slave of anything or be brought under its power.”

       Detachment from the pursuit of a wholesome relationship with God results in overwhelming fear of death and of the unknown. Through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, Satan was disarmed of all powers . Therefore, as a born again Christian ; you can denounce your affiliation to a satanic cult and be free from the fear of death .Hebrews 2:14-15 says” Because God's children are human beings—made of flesh and blood—the Son also became flesh and blood. For only as a human being could he die, and only by dying could he break the power of the devil, who had the power of death.  Only in this way could he set free all who have lived their lives as slaves to the fear of dying.” The devil no longer has the power of death. Don’t be afraid.

      We have all been given equal invitation to the lord’s marriage supper and no excuse is permitted for refusing the gift of salvation . God commands the born again Christian  to compel men to come into the kingdom using every means possible  . In God’s eyes there is no such thing as an undesirable fellow .He desires His children to be more aggressive in their approach to inviting people to the kingdom , it is a matter of urgency, : before you finish reading this message another person would have missed out on this life time opportunity of reconciling with God because there was nobody to show them the way to a life with Christ where all provisions for a fulfilling life are ready for the taking (2Peter.1:3).

Prayer : Heavenly Father forgive me of my sins against you I believe Jesus Christ died and was raised again for my salvation I recEVERYeive him as lord and saviour and receive the Holy Ghost and power for boldness to promote the gospel with undeniable miracles wherever I find myself  in Jesus name.
