ONLY TWO THINGS MATTER IN A CHRISTIAN MINISTRY , NOTHING ELSE COUNTS 

By Rev Michael Benson Ajayi

Isaiah 1:11,13 

[11]To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices unto me? saith the LORD: I am full of the burnt offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts; and I delight not in the blood of bullocks, or of lambs, or of he goats.

[13]Bring no more vain oblations; incense is an abomination unto me; the new moons and sabbaths, the calling of assemblies, I cannot away with; it is iniquity, even the solemn meeting."

  The above scripture says God is least interested in our conventions , certificates , jamborees , seed sowing , cathedrals , ceremonies and luxuries as long as corruption thrives in the society with Christian fully participating in it. If Jesus Christ was to pay a visit to a church he will seek for only two things and that is what all pastors are expected to seek for . They are Jesus Christ and him crucified. A Christian who cannot explain this mystery is not established in the faith . 

    In 1 Corinthians 2:2, the Apostle Paul declares, "For I resolved to know nothing while I was with you except Jesus Christ and him crucified." This verse highlights two essential aspects that are of utmost value in the life of a Christian: the centrality of Jesus Christ and the significance of His crucifixion.

First, Jesus Christ is the foundation of the Christian faith. Paul’s focus on knowing Christ underscores the importance of a personal relationship with Him. John 14:6 reinforces this, where Jesus says, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." Knowing Christ is not merely about intellectual knowledge but involves a deep, transformative connection that influences every aspect of life.

Second, the crucifixion of Christ is pivotal for salvation. Galatians 6:14 states, "May I never boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ." The cross represents the ultimate sacrifice, where Jesus took upon Himself the sins of the world, offering redemption and reconciliation with God. This act of love and sacrifice is the cornerstone of Christian belief, shaping how believers live and relate to God.

  The name 'Jesus Christ' means God's principle of salvation for mankind . 'Him crucified ' means the end of human selfishness and resurrection of love . 

  In summary, a Christian’s life is deeply rooted in knowing Jesus Christ and understanding the profound impact of His crucifixion.

  In our daily prayers we should seek to know the lord more and for his nature to be seen in us always . 

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 poverty.
