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.

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

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.

PROPHET MUHAMMAD WAS NOT SURE OF HIS SALVATION , ARE YOU?

 You shall not labour in vain because of the anointing of God's favour upon you.

Good --Life Devotional: PROPHET MUHAMMAD WAS NOT SURE OF HIS SALVATION , ARE YOU? 

By Rev Michael Benson Ajayi 

Romans 8:1

 "There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.'

   One of the key differences between Islam and Christianity lies in the assurance of salvation. While Christianity teaches that believers can know they have eternal life through faith in Jesus Christ, Islamic sources show that Prophet Muhammad himself was uncertain of his final destiny.

   In Qur’an Surah Al-Ahqaf 46:9, Muhammad is commanded to say, “I am not something original among the messengers, nor do I know what will be done with me or with you...” This admission reveals his personal uncertainty about salvation. Further, in Sahih al-Bukhari 23:334, Muhammad reportedly said, “By Allah, though I am the Apostle of Allah, yet I do not know what Allah will do to me.” This statement, found in one of Islam’s most trusted hadith collections, confirms that even the prophet of Islam had no assurance of his eternal state.

In contrast, the Bible offers full assurance to believers. 1 John 5:13 (AMP) states: “I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God... so that you will know [with settled and absolute knowledge] that you have eternal life.” Salvation in Christianity is not earned through works but received by grace through faith in Jesus Christ (Ephesians 2:8–9).

This contrast underscores a powerful truth: in Christ, believers can have peace and confidence in their eternal destiny. A prophet who cannot guarantee his own salvation cannot guarantee it for others. Only Jesus, the sinless Son of God, offers that assurance.

  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 death.

PROMOTION OF DENOMINATION ABOVE PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS CHRIST IS SATANIC

 The broken pieces of your family are being restored in glory because of the anointing of God's favour upon you. 

Good -Life Devotional: PROMOTION OF DENOMINATION ABOVE PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS CHRIST IS SATANIC

By Rev Michael Benson Ajayi 

  The promotion of denomination above a personal relationship with Jesus Christ is not only unbiblical—it is satanic. Paul rebuked this mindset in 1 Corinthians 3:3–7, where he exposed the carnality of believers who boasted, “I am of Paul,” and “I am of Apollos.” Such partisanship reveals immaturity and fleshliness. Paul made it clear that only God gives the increase, and ministers are merely servants through whom God works.

   Likewise, Romans 8:8 declares that “those who are in the flesh cannot please God.” A person consumed with promoting their denomination over Christ is walking in the flesh, not in the Spirit. Satan uses this fleshly mindset to sow division, pride, strife, and even corruption—both within the Church and in society.

   In contrast, the early Church prioritized fellowship with Christ and unity in the Spirit. In Acts 2:42–47 and Acts 4:32–35, believers “had all things in common,” continued steadfastly in the apostles’ doctrine, and were of “one heart and soul.” No denomination is mentioned—only devotion to Jesus and love for one another.

   Jesus never started a denomination. He said, “Follow Me” (Luke 9:23) and declared, “I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life” (John 14:6). Religion and denominational identity hold no value without a living relationship with Christ (Philippians 3:7–8). We must beware of idolizing structures over the Savior. True Christianity is not religion—it is a relationship with the risen Lord. Anything less is deception.

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

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 get wealth.

GOD DOES NOT HAVE SPECIAL PRAYER MINISTRIES

 The hinderances to your prayers are being removed because of the anointing of God's favour upon you.

Good -Life Devotional: 

GOD DOES NOT HAVE SPECIAL PRAYER MINISTRIES

By Rev Michael Benson Ajayi 

   Many Christians today believe that only certain people or ministries are “called” to pray, but this idea is not supported by Scripture. Jesus taught in Luke 18:1 that “men ought always to pray, and not to faint,” showing that prayer is a universal calling for all believers—not a specialized ministry. In 1 Timothy 2:8, Paul says, “I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting,” again emphasizing that prayer is for all.

    God never intended prayer to be monopolized by a few. Prayer is simply communication with our Father in heaven, and every born-again Christian has direct access to God through Jesus Christ (Hebrews 4:16). In Zechariah 12:10, God promised to pour out the “spirit of grace and supplication,” and in Acts 2:4, every believer received the Holy Spirit and spoke as the Spirit gave utterance—not just a chosen few.

    Jesus declared in Matthew 21:13, “My house shall be called the house of prayer,” and 1 Corinthians 6:19 reveals that the believer is the temple of the Holy Spirit. Therefore, every Christian is God's house of prayer on earth.

     The concept of prayer ministries as exclusive groups is an offshoot of idolatry—elevating men and creating spiritual hierarchies that God never endorsed. In Matthew 7:7-11, Jesus made it clear that the Father is willing to answer everyone who asks, seeks, and knocks.

   God desires relationship with all His children, not a religious elite. Pray now , God is listening.

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 work miracles through prayers.

THE ABUSE OF ECONOMIC HOURS FOR RELIGIOUS ACTIVITIES

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

Good -Life Devotional: THE ABUSE OF ECONOMIC HOURS FOR RELIGIOUS ACTIVITIES

By Rev Michael Benson Ajayi 

Proverbs 10:5 says, "He who gathers during summer and takes advantage of his opportunities is a son who acts wisely, but he who sleeps during harvest and ignores the moment of opportunity is a son who acts shamefully" (AMP). 

   In agrarian societies, farmers rise early, sometimes before 5 a.m., to labor before the scorching sun makes work difficult. Unfortunately, many modern Christians, especially in Africa, have been misled to believe that night prayers are the only ones God answers. As a result, thousands stay awake at night and sleep through the economic hours of the day, missing valuable time for productivity and progress.

  This misplaced zeal is one of the root causes of poverty in Nigeria. Workers arrive late to their jobs, sluggish and unfocused, compromising productivity and harming businesses. Contrary to popular belief, Jesus met Peter during the day, after his work (Luke 5:1–7). He used Peter’s boat and only after the teaching did He bless their labor with abundance—proof that God blesses diligence, not sleep deprivation. Most  miracles recorded of Jesus Christ in the bible were in the day time . God is not influenced by weather or time . He created them.

   Apostle Paul, though a preacher, never allowed ministry to hinder his trade; he worked with his hands as a tentmaker (Acts 18:3). Scripture warns, "The lazy man will not plow because of winter; He will beg during harvest and have nothing" (Proverbs 20:4). Also, "It is vain for you to rise early and stay up late, toiling for food to eat—for He gives sleep to His beloved" (Psalm 127:2). True spirituality does not violate principles of diligence and timing.

  God honors hard work, not ritualistic sacrifice of economic hours. Habitual night prayers leads to poverty , health problems , business and marital failure . Let the Holy Spirit lead you.

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

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 wisdom for excellence.

COMMANDING THE DAY (2)

 

You shall succeed where others fail because of the anointing of God's favour upon you.
Good -Life Devotional: COMMANDING THE DAY (PART 2)
By Rev Michael Benson Ajayi
Isaiah 44:24 'Thus saith the LORD, thy redeemer, and he that formed thee from the womb, I am the LORD that maketh all things; that stretcheth forth the heavens alone; that spreadeth abroad the earth by myself;"
What efforts did you make towards your sustainance in your mother's womb . God kept you then and sustains you now . It was not by you commanding the day in your mother's womb . To understand this , let's look at more facts on the apologetics of Job 38:12  often used to justify the doctrine of: 'commanding the day'.
3. THE CREATOR–CREATURE DISTINCTION
God’s interrogation in Job 38 draws a line between Creator and creature. Job, a righteous man, is still finite. God’s question is meant to humble Job, and by extension, us.
Isaiah 55:8-9 – “For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways,” declares the Lord.
APOLOGETIC POINT: When skeptics question God’s justice or power, this verse reminds us that human understanding is limited and cannot judge God’s actions by human standards.
4. MORAL APPLICATION TO SUFFERING
In the apologetic context of suffering, Job’s story is key. Job questioned God due to immense suffering. God answers—not with explanations—but with a revelation of Himself. Job 38:12 is one of many verses where God’s questions redirect Job’s focus from “why” to “Who.”
APOLOGETIC POINT: This teaches that in responding to the problem of evil, Christians appeal to God’s nature and wisdom rather than simplistic answers. The focus becomes trusting God's character when we do not understand His actions.
CONCLUSION:
Job 38:12 serves as a powerful apologetic verse underscoring God's unmatched authority over the natural world. It humbles human pride, confronts atheistic naturalism, and invites us to trust the Creator even amid confusion. This verse is intended to redirect skeptics from abstract arguments about evil or chaos to the deeper question of who controls the universe—and whether He can be trusted. According to Scripture, the answer is yes.The concept of commanding the day contradicts James 4:13-15 "Go to now, ye that say, To day or to morrow we will go into such a city, and continue there a year, and buy and sell, and get gain:
Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.
  For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that."
In our daily prayers we should seek a healthy appetite for God's word and faith to trust God more .
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.

COMMANDING THE DAY (PART 1)

 

You shall eat of the good of the land because of the anointing of God's favour upon you.
Good-Life Devotional: COMMANDING THE  DAY (PART 1)
By Rev Michael Benson Ajayi
"Have you ever in your life commanded the morning, And caused the dawn to know its place" (AMP)
The idea that a born again Christian can determine how a day should be is an idea that is in dispute among bible scholars , Let's look at the context of the verse of scripture from which the idea is derived.
VERSE CONTEXT:
Job 38:12 is part of a long speech by God to Job, beginning in Job 38. After Job's repeated laments and challenges to understand God's justice, God responds—not with direct answers, but with a series of rhetorical questions highlighting divine power and wisdom. This particular verse emphasizes God’s sovereign control over nature, especially the rising of the sun, which no man can command.
APOLOGETIC SIGNIFICANCE:

1. GOD’S SOVEREIGNTY VS. HUMAN LIMITATION

This verse is a profound apologetic against human self-sufficiency and pride. It reminds humanity of our limited power. Science can predict the sunrise but cannot command it. This is crucial when answering secular worldviews that elevate human reasoning above divine revelation. Job 38:12 is God asking Job (and us): “Can you control the most basic functions of the universe?”
APOLOGETIC POINT: Human beings, despite technological progress, are still subject to natural laws established by God. This affirms God's supremacy and invites humility.

2. DESIGN AND ORDER IN CREATION

The regular appearance of morning testifies to design, not chance. God's question to Job assumes that the morning doesn't just "happen" randomly—it has a "place" and follows order.
Romans 1:20 supports this: "For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes...have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made..."
APOLOGETIC POINT: The daily dawn reflects not only God’s power but also His intentional design. This counters atheistic claims that the universe is a product of random chance.
In our daily prayers we should seek a healthy appetite for God's word and the spirit of wisdom and revelation of his word.
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.

BETTER TO BE UNDERESTIMATED AND YET PRODUCTIVE THAN PROUD AND WITHOUT FOOD TO EAT

Good -Life Devotional: BETTER TO BE UNDERESTIMATED AND YET PRODUCTIVE THAN PROUD AND WITHOUT FOOD TO EAT 

By Rev Michael Benson Ajayi 

The Folly of Pride and the Wisdom of Humility

Proverbs 12:9 (AMP) states: "Better is he who is lightly esteemed and has a servant than he who boasts of honor [but lacks bread]." This verse challenges the cultural obsession with status and pride. It teaches that it is better to be underestimated yet productive, than to pretend to be important and suffer lack. Many have fallen into poverty because they refuse humble beginnings or despise so-called "menial" jobs.

 Many preachers would rather be in poverty claiming to be called to a full time ministry instead of working as commanded in 2 Thesselonians 3:6-10 . This is the major reason behind the increase in scadals and corruption in the church in  Nigeria. Pride often hinders progress. Ecclesiastes 10:15 says, "The labor of fools wearies him, for he does not even know how to go to the city," indicating ignorance and pride can make simple tasks seem beneath someone. Yet Scripture repeatedly exalts humility. James 4:6 declares, "God resists the proud but gives grace to the humble." Likewise, 1 Peter 5:6 urges, "Humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time."

  Moses is a profound example. Though raised in Pharaoh’s palace, he was not too proud to become a shepherd in Midian (Exodus 3:1). That season of humility prepared him for leadership. Joseph, too, embraced servitude and imprisonment before ruling Egypt (Genesis 41:41).

Jesus Christ, the Son of God, washed His disciples' feet (John 13:14–15), teaching that greatness lies in service.

     Proverbs 12:9 affirms that dignity isn’t in titles or impressions, but in honest labor and humility. Christians must reject ego-driven laziness. Starting small with God’s favor leads to lasting success (Zechariah 4:10).

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

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 humble .

IDEAS GENERATE MONEY, NOT MONEY TO GENERATE IDEAS

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

Good -Life Devotional: IDEAS GENERATE MONEY, NOT MONEY TO GENERATE IDEAS

By Rev Michael Benson Ajayi 

   Many people delay their dreams, waiting for money to start a business, believing that capital is the beginning of success. Yet, in Matthew 17:27, Jesus Christ demonstrated a powerful principle: “...go to the sea, cast a hook, take the first fish that comes up, and when you open its mouth, you will find a coin...” Instead of giving Peter money directly, Jesus gave him a divine idea that led to provision.

    The modern mindset often waits for money to begin, but scripture shows that ideas—especially those aligned with solving real problems—create wealth. God gives insight, not just income. In Deuteronomy 8:18, it is written: “But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth...”—not wealth itself, but the power, which includes wisdom, understanding, and creative ideas.

Waiting for money leads to frustration, as urgent needs like food and survival consume what little is available. However, ideas target needs in society. Businesses thrive when they solve problems. In Genesis 41, Joseph interpreted Pharaoh’s dream and offered a strategic idea—store grain during years of abundance. This idea saved nations and brought Joseph into great wealth and honor. An example of this in the south eastern Nigeria is the Onitsha business model —emphasizing scalable, locally rooted innovation, supply chain dynamics, and community-driven entrepreneurship.

    Proverbs 8:12 says, “I wisdom dwell with prudence, and find out knowledge of witty inventions.” Every invention and breakthrough began as an idea. Instead of praying for money, ask God for wisdom and vision. When you solve a need, resources follow. Ideas attract money.

  In our daily prayers we should seek a healthy appetite for God's word and humility to learn from more experienced persons .

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.

One powerful principle seen in Matthew 17:27 is how Jesus responded to a financial need—not by conjuring money out of thin air, but by sending Peter to use his fishing skill to find the coin to pay the temple tax. Peter was a fisherman, not a full-time preacher living off others. Jesus honored his skill and used it to meet a need.

   This challenges the idea that full-time ministry excludes working or business. On the contrary, Scripture encourages believers to be productive. Paul writes in 1 Thessalonians 4:11-12 (AMP): "Make it your ambition to live quietly and peacefully, and to mind your own affairs and work with your hands...so that you will behave properly toward outsiders [exhibiting good character, personal integrity, and moral courage], and be dependent on no one [in need of nothing]." This is a clear call to develop a skill and mind one’s business.

    Proverbs 22:29 says, “Do you see a man skilled in his work? He will stand before kings; He will not stand before obscure men.” Your skill is your gateway to prosperity and impact. Every Christian should aim to have both a job and a side business or trade.

   Ministry is important, but laziness masked as spirituality is not. 2 Thessalonians 3:10 makes it plain: “If anyone is not willing to work, neither let him eat.”

Develop a skill. God blesses the work of your hands—not your idleness.

 In our daily prayers we should seek a healthy appetite for God's word and humility to learn a skill to overcome poverty.

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.

GODLY SORROW WORKS REPENTANCE AND SALVATION

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

Good -Life Devotional: GODLY SORROW WORKS REPENTANCE AND SALVATION

Rev Michael Benson Ajayi 

   In 1 Corinthians 5, the Apostle Paul confronts a grievous sin within the Corinthian church—adultery and incest, which the congregation shamefully tolerated. A man had taken his father's wife, and rather than mourning, the church was proud. Paul sternly rebuked them, saying, "Should you not rather have mourned?" (v.2). He did not hesitate to judge the matter, commanding the church to expel the offender “so that his spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord” (v.5).

In 2 Corinthians 7, Paul reflects on that rebuke. Though he momentarily regretted the sorrow it caused, he never regretted taking firm action. Why? Because their sorrow was godly, not worldly. Paul wrote, “Godly sorrow brings repentance that leads to salvation and leaves no regret, but worldly sorrow brings death” (v.10). The Greek word for repentance is metanoia, meaning a change of mind and direction—a full turning from sin. Salvation in Greek is sōtēria, signifying deliverance, preservation, and wholeness in Christ.

Verse 11 highlights the fruit of godly sorrow: “What earnestness, what eagerness to clear yourselves, what indignation, what fear, what longing, what zeal, what punishment!” The word for revenge or punishment in Greek, ekdikēsis, implies a righteous avenging of sin—a desire to right the wrong. These are marks of true revival.

Tragically, many modern preachers avoid rebuke to preserve attendance and offerings. But this compromise has led to moral decay in both the church and society. Proverbs 27:5 says, “Better is open rebuke than hidden love.” Revelation 3:19 declares, “Those whom I love, I rebuke and discipline.”

Holy rebukes protects businesses , dreams and  families from falling apart . 

A church without holy rebuke is a church without holiness. Godly sorrow is painful—but it works repentance, restoration, and a renewed fear of God. Let the church rise again in truth.

  In our daily prayers we should seek a healthy appetite for God's word and hearts open to holy rebukes .

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 holiness.

PROTECTION FROM BEWITCHMENT OF THE FALSE PROPHET

 Your situation is not hopeless uncommon help shall locate because of the anointing of God's favour upon you.

Good -Life Devotional: PROTECTION FROM BEWITCHMENT OF THE FALSE PROPHET

By Rev Michael Benson Ajayi 

   Bewitchment by false prophets is a real and dangerous spiritual attack aimed at terminating the ministries of righteous preachers. In 1 Kings 13:18–29, a young prophet, sent by God with specific instructions, was deceived and killed after disobeying God’s command. He was misled by an old prophet who claimed divine revelation. This tragic incident warns believers against listening to anyone—even another preacher—if their words contradict what God has already told you.

   False prophets operate under the influence of lying spirits. In 1 Kings 22:19–23, God allowed a lying spirit to deceive King Ahab through Zedekiah and 400 prophets because of their reprobate minds. This shows that continued rebellion can open one up to strong delusion (2 Thessalonians 2:10–12), making one an agent of deception.

   False prophets trade with lies (Jeremiah 14:14), and their goal is to derail, discredit, or destroy true ministries. These Liars shall end in the lake of fire ( Rev . 21;8) Paul warned against this when he rebuked the Galatian church, saying, “Who has bewitched you?” (Galatians 3:1). These deceivers had secretly crept in (Jude 4), turning the grace of God into license for sin.

   One practical defense is found in 1 Corinthians 5:11: “Do not even eat with such a one.” Avoid spiritual fellowship, especially meals, with preachers of questionable character, particularly during seasons of fasting when God has instructed separation.

   Guard your heart, discern spirits (1 John 4:1), and remain in obedience to God's clear Word. Let no one bewitched by lies abort your divine assignment.

In our daily prayers we should seek a healthy appetite for God's word and boldness to preach against falsehood.

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 evil manipulations.

THE PREACHER WHO EQUATES WEALTH WITH GODLINESS SHALL NOT ENTER HEAVEN

 What was meant to bring about your demotion shall lead to your promotion because of the anointing of God's favour upon you.

Good -Life Devotional: THE PREACHER WHO EQUATES WEALTH WITH GODLINESS SHALL NOT ENTER HEAVEN

By Rev Michael Benson Ajayi 

   The modern gospel of prosperity—preaching that equates wealth with godliness—is a deception that endangers the soul. Scripture warns repeatedly against those who manipulate God's Word for personal gain. “In their greed they will exploit you with false words” (2 Peter 2:3, AMP), Peter writes, warning of God’s past judgments as a reminder that He will not spare the corrupt (vv. 4–5).

   Paul also cautions, “If anyone teaches a different doctrine...that godliness is a means of gain...from such withdraw yourself” (1 Timothy 6:3–5). He continues, “For the love of money is a root of all sorts of evil” (v.10), urging the faithful to flee such desires and pursue righteousness (v.11).

   Many who preach wealth as a sign of divine favor reflect the spirit of Laodicea, whom Jesus rebuked: “You say, ‘I am rich...’ and do not know that you are wretched, pitiable, poor, blind, and naked” (Revelation 3:17). Christ’s words in Matthew 7:21–23 pierce deeper: “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom... I will declare, ‘I never knew you.’” These verses warn that external success does not equal spiritual approval.

   Those who follow such preachers may be given over to delusion, “so that they will believe the lie” and be condemned (2 Thessalonians 2:10–12).

God calls us to be discerning. “Do not be deceived: God is not mocked” (Galatians 6:7). Instead, seek Christ—not wealth—as the true treasure (Colossians 2:3).

 In our daily prayers we should seek a healthy appetite for God's word and boldness to preach righteousness.

THE CONSEQUENCES OF BLOOD GUILT ON A NATION ( part 1)

 You shall not be defeated by the enemy because of the anointing of God's favour upon you.

Good -Life Devotional: 

THE CONSEQUENCES OF BLOOD GUILT ON A NATION ( part 1)

By Rev Michael Benson Ajayi 

   Blood guilt is a spiritual defilement that brings judgment upon individuals and nations. Scripture reveals that when innocent blood is shed—whether through murder, judicial corruption, or spiritual compromise—there are serious consequences. In 1 Corinthians 11:27, Paul warns that partaking of the Lord’s Supper unworthily brings guilt concerning the body and blood of Christ, highlighting the danger of spiritual insensitivity to blood guilt.

    The Apostle Paul himself felt constrained by the Spirit not to avoid his duty to proclaim truth, lest he become blood-guilty (Acts 20:22, 26). When rejected by the Jews in Corinth, he declared, “Your blood be upon your own heads; I am clean” (Acts 18:6), indicating that failure to warn or confront sin could render one guilty.

   Blood guilt cries out to God. The souls of martyrs cry from under the altar for justice (Revelation 6:9–10), and the beheaded saints will live again (Revelation 20:4), indicating that unjust murder demands divine reckoning. Pilate’s symbolic handwashing did not absolve his guilt for condemning the innocent Christ (Matthew 27:24). Likewise, judges and lawyers today who knowingly condemn the innocent share in this guilt.

   Even preachers can be guilty by endorsing or praying for the survival and prosperity of the unrepentant wicked, violating God’s justice (Ezekiel 13:19). Paul warns not to lay hands on anyone suddenly, lest we share in their sins (1 Timothy 5:22).

   One of the most grievous sources of national blood guilt today is abortion. In Leviticus 20:2 and Jeremiah 32:35, child sacrifice is condemned as provoking God’s wrath—paralleling modern abortion with Molech worship.

   Proverbs 6:17 says God hates “hands that shed innocent blood.” To prevent judgment, nations must repent, confess their sins, and cease shedding innocent blood. As Deuteronomy 21:8–9 shows, confession and atonement are essential for cleansing the land from guilt.

   In our daily prayers we should seek a healthy appetite for God's word and boldness to preach righteousness.

 SEVEN EFFECTS OF BLOOD GUILT ON A PERSON AND NATION

By Rev Michael Benson Ajayi 

BLOOD GUILT —the shedding of innocent blood—brings severe spiritual, emotional, and societal consequences. Scripture offers sobering examples of its far-reaching effects.

RESTLESS JUDGMENT: Cain, after murdering Abel, was cursed with restlessness and alienation. God said, “You shall be a fugitive and a vagabond on the earth” (Genesis 4:12 AMP). Blood guilt disrupts identity and peace.

DIVINE OPPOSITION: David orchestrated Uriah’s death to cover adultery with Bathsheba (2 Samuel 11). Though he repented, God declared, “The sword shall never depart from your house” (2 Samuel 12:10 AMP), illustrating how blood guilt invites God’s chastening.

NATIONAL DEFILEMENT: Blood guilt stains the land. Numbers 35:33 says, “You shall not defile the land… for blood defiles the land.” David’s act caused national suffering—his household and kingdom endured internal strife.

SPIRITUAL TORMENT: Abimelech murdered his 70 brothers to secure power. As judgment, “God sent an evil spirit between Abimelech and the leaders of Shechem” (Judges 9:23 AMP). Blood guilt invites demonic agitation.

LOSS OF MORAL AUTHORITY: David’s guilt weakened his leadership. His sons mimicked his sins—Amnon’s rape and Absalom’s rebellion (2 Samuel 13–15).

SHORTENED LEGACY: Joab, one of David’s mighty men, shed innocent blood (2 Samuel 3:27; 1 Kings 2:5) and was executed under Solomon’s reign. Blood guilt cut short his honor.

BROKEN COVENANT BLESSING: Shedding blood breaks alignment with God's favor, bringing curses instead of covenant blessings (Deuteronomy 27:25).

Blood guilt is not just personal—it poisons nations. Only genuine repentance and God's mercy can cleanse such deep iniquity.

 In our daily prayers we should seek a healthy appetite for God's word and boldness to preach 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 blood guilt .

THE HIDDEN FUEL BEHIND BAD GOVERNANCE

 The hindrances to your prosperity are being removed because of the anointing of God's favour upon you.

Good -Life Devotional: Preachers Who Equate Wealth with Godliness: THE HIDDEN FUEL BEHIND BAD GOVERNANCE

By Rev Michael Benson Ajayi 

   In many societies today, a growing breed of preachers equate material wealth with godliness, presenting prosperity as the ultimate sign of divine favor. This distorted theology is not only misleading spiritually but also dangerous socially and politically. These preachers, driven by greed, often align themselves with corrupt leaders, forming unholy alliances that devastate nations.

   Scripture warns us about such people. “They conceive mischief and bring forth iniquity, and their womb prepares deceit” (Job 15:35 AMP). Their teachings encourage exploitation rather than righteousness, justifying theft and oppression under the guise of blessing. They refuse to call corrupt leaders to repentance because doing so would threaten their own access to wealth and influence. Ezekiel 13:22 condemns this: “Because with lies you have made the heart of the righteous sad…and strengthened the hands of the wicked, so that he does not turn from his wicked way to be saved.”

   Such preachers contribute directly to national decay. Isaiah 5:13 declares, “Therefore My people go into exile for their lack of knowledge; and their honorable men are famished, and their common people are parched with thirst.” When truth is silenced and falsehood exalted, justice is perverted. These preachers often hold sway over the judicial system, twisting justice to favor their corrupt partners, as Isaiah 1:23 laments: “Your rulers are rebels and companions of thieves; everyone loves a bribe and chases after rewards.”

   God’s judgment is sure. “For the company of the godless shall be barren…fire will consume their tents of bribery” (Job 15:34). “Woe to those who call evil good and good evil…Therefore, as fire devours stubble, so their root will be as rottenness” (Isaiah 5:20–24). God's justice will expose and consume all who trade His truth for personal gain.

 In our daily prayers we should seek a healthy appetite for God's word and deliverance from false preachers .

GOD’S ANGER AT LEADERSHIP AND THE CLERGY OVER UNNECESSARY DEATHS IN A NATION

Good -Life Devotional: GOD’S ANGER AT LEADERSHIP AND THE CLERGY OVER UNNECESSARY DEATHS IN  A NATION 

By Rev Michael Benson Ajayi 

   God holds leaders and clergy accountable for the spiritual and moral condition of a nation. In Ezekiel 11:2–12, God rebukes the leaders of Jerusalem who devise wicked counsel and shed innocent blood, comparing the city to a boiling pot of violence. “You have feared the sword; and I will bring a sword upon you,” declares the Lord (v. 8, AMP). These leaders were meant to uphold justice, but instead they became enablers of corruption, sacrificing truth for power.

   A stark biblical example is found in the case of Uriah the Hittite. King David, God’s anointed, abused his authority by orchestrating Uriah’s death to conceal his own sin (2 Samuel 11). Though a man after God’s heart, David was not spared from judgment. God sent the prophet Nathan to confront him, saying, “You have struck down Uriah... and have taken his wife” (2 Samuel 12:9). Judgment followed David’s house, showing that God does not overlook bloodguilt, even among His chosen.

  Preachers who support or remain silent about bloodshed—whether through political complicity, tribalism, or fear—invoke divine wrath. God warns in Jeremiah 23:1: “Woe to the shepherds who destroy and scatter the sheep of My pasture!” (AMP). He sees through religious facades and judges those who “strengthen the hands of evildoers” (Jeremiah 23:14).

  As in Isaiah 1:15, God refuses to hear prayers when hands are stained with blood. His justice is sure. Let every leader and preacher heed His warning—repent, uphold righteousness, and speak against bloodshed, lest judgment fall.

  In our daily prayers we should seek a healthy appetite for God's word and boldness to speak against corruption.

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 evil governance.

GRACE IS NOT A LICENSE TO SIN: A BIBLICAL DEFENSE OF ROMANS 6:1

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

Good -Life Devotional: GRACE IS NOT A LICENSE TO SIN: A BIBLICAL DEFENSE OF ROMANS 6:1

By Rev Michael Benson Ajayi 

Romans 6:1 poses a rhetorical question: “What shall we say [to all this]? Are we to remain in sin so that God’s grace may increase and overflow?” (AMP). Some false teachers have twisted this verse and others like it to promote the dangerous idea that grace gives believers a license to sin. However, Paul immediately refutes such thinking in verse 2: “Certainly not! How can we who died to sin live in it any longer?”

This misuse of grace contradicts the clear teaching of Titus 2:11-12, which states, “For the [remarkable, undeserved] grace of God... teaches us to reject ungodliness and worldly desires and to live sensible, upright, and godly lives.” Grace does not excuse sin; it empowers the believer to live in holiness.

The message of Romans 6 is transformation, not indulgence. Through Christ’s death and resurrection, believers are united with Him, crucifying the old self and being raised to walk in newness of life (Romans 6:4-6). Grace sets us free from sin’s dominion—not to return to bondage, but to become slaves of righteousness (Romans 6:18).

The wages of sin remain death (Romans 6:23). Grace does not negate the consequences of sin; rather, it offers the free gift of eternal life through Christ. True faith in Jesus will produce a life marked by repentance, obedience, and sanctification. Any teaching that treats grace as permission to sin is false and must be exposed with sound doctrine.

 In our daily prayers we should seek a healthy appetite for God's word and power to resist the devil .

THE PURSUIT OF RELIGIOUS LEGALISM LEADS TO A FALL FROM GRACE

 You are marked for an extraordinary promotion because of the anointing of God's favour upon you.

THE PURSUIT OF RELIGIOUS LEGALISM LEADS TO A FALL FROM GRACE

By Rev Michael Benson Ajayi 

Religious legalism—the effort to earn righteousness through strict adherence to the Mosaic Law—stands in direct opposition to the grace of God revealed in Christ. In Galatians 5:2–5, the apostle Paul warns, “If you receive circumcision, Christ will be of no benefit to you” (v.2). He stresses that anyone who chooses to be justified by the law “is obligated to keep the whole law” (v.3), and in doing so, “has been severed from Christ… fallen from grace” (v.4, AMP).

Legalism is a counterfeit righteousness. It rests on human effort rather than divine transformation. Those who pursue this path, trying to establish their own type of righteousness by observing the Law of Moses, cannot experience the power of God. The law, while holy and good, was never meant to be a means of salvation. It reveals sin but cannot remove it. Only grace can save—and only grace empowers.

Paul continues, “For we [not relying on the law], through the Spirit, by faith, are waiting confidently for the hope of righteousness [the completion of our salvation]” (v.5, AMP). True righteousness is not something we achieve; it is something we receive. It flows from the character of God and is given through faith in Christ.

Christian morality and transformation come through the Spirit, not by legal codes. When believers trust in rules instead of the Redeemer, they reject the very grace that saves and sanctifies. Let us walk by grace, not law.

 In our daily prayers we should seek a healthy appetite for God's word and a commitment to walk by grace not by religious legalism.

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.

WORKING IN RIGHTEOUSNESS BY FAITH

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

Good+Life Devotional: WORKING IN RIGHTEOUSNESS BY FAITH

By Rev Michael Benson Ajayi 

Hebrews 11:33 speaks of those who “through faith conquered kingdoms, administered justice, and obtained promises,” emphasizing that righteousness is achieved by faith. However, 1 Timothy 4:1 warns that in the latter times, some will “depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of demons.” This shows that human behavior can be influenced by demonic forces and false teachings, pulling people away from the path of righteousness.

The born-again believer is called to walk by the Spirit (Galatians 5:16). Romans 8:14 declares, “For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God.” Being led by the Holy Spirit results in life and peace (Romans 8:6), while following the desires of the sinful nature leads to death.

Every sinful action begins as a thought. 2 Corinthians 10:5 urges believers to “cast down imaginations, and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God,” and to bring “every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ.” By the power of the Holy Spirit, believers can silence demonic suggestions and cast out evil spirits (Mark 16:17).

Revelation 2:20 identifies the spirit of Jezebel, who misleads God's servants into sexual sin and idolatry. Jesus gave believers authority to tread on serpents and scorpions and over all the power of the enemy (Luke 10:19). Therefore, when unclean thoughts arise, believers must resist the devil (James 4:7), speak the Word (Matthew 4:4), and take authority in Jesus' name to walk in righteousness by faith.

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

THIEVES SHALL NOT ENTER HEAVEN

 The anointing of God's favour is restoring that which was stolen from you by a hundred fold .

Good -Life Devotional: THIEVES SHALL NOT ENTER HEAVEN

By Rev Michael Benson Ajayi 

Scripture is clear: “Thieves... shall not inherit the kingdom of God” (1 Corinthians 6:10, AMP). Yet many modern preachers distort God’s grace, ignoring repentance and righteousness, and teaching that one can continue in sin without consequence. This false gospel contradicts Titus 2:11-12, which states, “For the [remarkable, undeserved] grace of God... instructs us to deny ungodliness and worldly desires and to live sensible, upright, and godly lives” (AMP).

Jesus Himself warned against such religious corruption, declaring, “My house shall be a house of prayer, but you have made it a den of thieves” (Luke 19:46). Just as thieves stole from the temple in Jesus’ day, many now rob God’s people of truth—trading holiness for hype, and repentance for popularity.

The Word commands, “He who steals must steal no longer; but rather he must labor, producing with his own hands what is good” (Ephesians 4:28). Stealing—whether money, time, truth, or glory—is a mark of Satan, who “comes only to steal and kill and destroy” (John 10:10). Jesus, by contrast, calls His followers to walk in light and truth.

Paul exhorts believers, “Let everyone who names the name of the Lord depart from iniquity” (2 Timothy 2:19). Hebrews 10:26 warns, “If we go on sinning willfully after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins.”

True grace transforms. It never permits sin; it empowers us to overcome it. Let us not be deceived—righteousness still matters.

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