SUNDAY SERVICE AT THE GRACEVINE FAMILY CHURCH REV MICHAEL BENSON AJAYI

 DATE: 1 NOVEMBER, 2026

TOPIC: 



GOD RAISES PREACHERS FOR A PURPOSE.

- The bible describes humans as fish “I will make you fishers of men”. We have a lot of fish types, from sharks to crayfish to whales to catfish. There are pastors with assignments to raise a certain type of fish.

- You don’t select the church you go to, God is the one to send you to one.

- Mathematics is one of the most hated subjects, but it is indispensable. However you run from it, you will meet it. The same thing is similar to the thing that will bring blessing to you; you currently hate it. Why? Because there is a devil on the planet for thousands of years, that dealt with your great grandparents. He knows your behaviors.

- The person God will use to save you is someone you hate, because Satan will never allow you to go to a church that will save you. He will fight you, because if you go there, he will not have control over you and your unborn children.

- This is why we have sorcerers in Nigeria. Who is a sorcerer? One who uses the bible to cast magic. The example given last Sunday was of Simon the sorcerer.

- The pursuit of fame and greatness is what threw Satan out of Heaven. He planned to overthrow his Maker. So if you look at anyone who aims to be great, they will be willing to trample others to get ahead. Jesus said that “I did not call you to be served. The greatest of you should be willing to be a servant.” God is not looking for great people, but servants. 

- If you aspire for greatness, you will not fit into the new Nigeria, because God will pull you down.

- Your job as a christian is to ensure that wherever you work, you make it safe. But if you pursue greatness, that will not be your goal, and God will not work through you.

1Co 1:26  For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called: 



THE HOLY GHOST, DISCERNMENT OF VOICES AND THE FOOLISHNESS OF WRATH

- Without the Holy Ghost you cannot understand the bible. 

- You cannot have the spirit of discernment without the Holy Spirit; your, Satan and God’s voice are all similar-sounding.

Mat 16:21  From that time forth began Jesus to shew unto his disciples, how that he must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised again the third day. 

Mat 16:22  Then Peter took him, and began to rebuke him, saying, Be it far from thee, Lord: this shall not be unto thee. 

Mat 16:23  But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men. 

- What Peter was saying, was it a good thing? Yes? Was it the right thing? No. It is good things that put us in the mess we are in right now, because doing good instead of right is simply selfishness. It is acting without looking at the bigger picture about how your actions affect the wider world around you.

- Satan took over Peter’s voice and Peter did not know. Peter, who was Peter’s right hand man. That was written so you know you can never be close enough; Satan can use you at any point in time if you give him the chance.

- Jas 1:19  Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath: 

– Slow to speak, quick to listen. Why? Because you will think first whether that voice in your head is yours or God’s or Satan?

– Here we see a connection with wrath. This means Peter said what he did in anger; wrath is a desire for vengeance. So if you feel wrath, you must not speak, so that you say something you are not supposed to. Because words can be forgiven but not forgotten.

– You need the control over anger, and ONLY the Holy Spirit gives that to you. No amount of meditation or medication can do that.

Pro 14:17  He that is soon angry dealeth foolishly: and a man of wicked devices is hated. 

– The first thing that Satan will want to do when he wants to manipulate you, is to put anger in you. Anger makes room for Satan in your minds, EVEN IF YOU ARE BORN AGAIN.

– If you are in the wrong church, you will be angry at yourself, and everyone else.

– If you do not preach righteousness in a state, the people will all be angry. Take a look at Bayelsa and Rivers State.

Psa 119:165  Great peace have they which love thy law: and nothing shall offend them. 

– This explains why there is so much sadness in Nigeria. If there is no peace in the bible, they do not love the law.

– What is the law? The word of God.


FOOLISHNESS AND THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOD’S WORD

-2Ti 3:14  But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them; 


- Can there be learning if there is no teacher? Is it possible to pass exams legitimately without going to school? Can you see now how dangerous it is to not go to church? 

- You will be faced with examinations everyday. Trials that the world’s knowledge will not be able to help you with.

- Can God tell a christian not to go to church? No. Can Satan tell a christian not to go to church? Yes. So why are people listening to Satan?

- If a pastor wants to deceive you, they will make sure you won’t read the bible, because the more ignorant you are, the better for that pastor. There is no such thing as bible school in the bible. In the bible, every service was Sunday school, everyone was learning.

Heb 10:25  Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching. 

– No one wants to read. They want to go to a church for 3 hours, with 2 hours of dancing, 45 minutes of “Have you seen before, can I prophesy?” and if you ask that person in that 6k strong church what they have learned, they will tell you what they SAW, but nothing that they LEARNED.

– What day is it referring to? Examination day. You will find yourself somewhere, your parents cannot talk to you, your pastor is unreachable. You will have to fight the devil yourself.


POPULARITY

- Popularity cannot make a thing right. Just because the crowd follows it does not make it correct. After all, is the road to death not wide and MANY PEOPLE ARE PRESENT WITHIN IT? And the road that leads to life, narrow with only few?


A WARNING

– GOD DOES NOT GIVE FREE MONEY. He can give you money based on favor, but you must know what the money is all about. Parents, make sure that you pass it as a law, you should never see money from any of your children unless they have put that money first as their tithe, so that they learn to fear God. If they buy something for you without doing so, do NOT let it come into your house. This will save you from visiting your children in jail, and your relatives from doing so to you, because when those people come, they will deal with you and your children. God and the pastor cannot do anything about it. Why? Zechariah 5.


- You do know you can be given something like a car legitimately?

- Britain, France and America are accomplices that are responsible for the plundering of Nigeria.

- A message to the UK; the fire burning in France is coming to you too. Do not be a warehouse for stolen goods. You are responsible indirectly for the suffering happening in Nigeria. Jesus is warning you to SEND THOSE AFRICAN LEADERS AND THEIR MONEY OUT. The same goes for America. Here is what will happen.

Zec 5:1  Then I turned, and lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and behold a flying roll. 

Zec 5:2  And he said unto me, What seest thou? And I answered, I see a flying roll; the length thereof is twenty cubits, and the breadth thereof ten cubits. 

Zec 5:3  Then said he unto me, This is the curse that goeth forth over the face of the whole earth: for every one that stealeth shall be cut off as on this side according to it; and every one that sweareth shall be cut off as on that side according to it. 

Zec 5:4  I will bring it forth, saith the LORD of hosts, and it shall enter into the house of the thief, and into the house of him that sweareth falsely by my name: and it shall remain in the midst of his house, and shall consume it with the timber thereof and the stones thereof. 


– 20 cubits stands for 20 months, 20 years. That fire in France can run for 20 months. 

- Most of the Arab extremist groups sympathetic to Iran want to bring down Europe. That thing said to be immigration, was an invasion.

- Why is this happening? If you preach outside in some places in France and the UK where if you preach the bible outside, you will be arrested. But if you speak of LGBT things, you will not be harassed at all. These were created as Christian nations, but they have abandoned the gospel.

- Consume: Houses are being burnt by fire.


NO ROOM FOR RIGGING

- Riggers of election, fire will visit you in January. 3 days to that day, the fire of God will begin to touch you; you will not be able to touch ONE vote. And you cannot withstand the power of God. Because it is God that will conduct the election, not man. It took 72 hours for Jesus to plunder Hell and come out.


Isaiah 29 shows more about this.

Isa 29:6  Thou shalt be visited of the LORD of hosts with thunder, and with earthquake, and great noise, with storm and tempest, and the flame of devouring fire. 

– Nigeria shall be visited 72 HOURS wit

– It is in your bible; when it was time for King David to be crowned, God gathered 600 hard men and women; called vagabonds, and they 

– For all of those rulers, remember how long it took to build your palace, how long it took to buy your car. It will all burn.  


Let every matter be established by two or three witnesses.


Eze 21:25  And thou, profane wicked prince of Israel, whose day is come, when iniquity shall have an end, 

Eze 21:26  Thus saith the Lord GOD; Remove the diadem, and take off the crown: this shall not be the same: exalt him that is low, and abase him that is high. 

Eze 21:27  I will overturn, overturn, overturn, it: and it shall be no more, until he come whose right it is; and I will give it him. 

Eze 21:28  And thou, son of man, prophesy and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD concerning the Ammonites, and concerning their reproach; even say thou, The sword, the sword is drawn: for the slaughter it is furbished, to consume because of the glittering: 

Eze 21:29  Whiles they see vanity unto thee, whiles they divine a lie unto thee, to bring thee upon the necks of them that are slain, of the wicked, whose day is come, when their iniquity shall have an end. 

Eze 21:30  Shall I cause it to return into his sheath? I will judge thee in the place where thou wast created, in the land of thy nativity. 

Eze 21:31  And I will pour out mine indignation upon thee, I will blow against thee in the fire of my wrath, and deliver thee into the hand of brutish men, and skilful to destroy. 

Eze 21:32  Thou shalt be for fuel to the fire; thy blood shall be in the midst of the land; thou shalt be no more remembered: for I the LORD have spoken it. 


- You wicked politician of Nigeria, 16th of January 2027 is the day of your judgement.

- (27) Overturn means overthrow. God will overthrow a wicked system and it will be no more. The rest is how God will do it;

- (31) Brutish, skilled destroyers came to David and told him that he was going to become King.
