CONTINUE IN PRAYER BECAUSE OF CANCELLATIONS .

By Rev Michael Benson Ajayi

‭‭Colossians‬ ‭4:2‬ ‭KJV‬‬

' Continue in prayer, and watch in the same with thanksgiving; "Then said I, Woe is me! for I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for mine eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts. Then flew one of the seraphims unto me, having a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with the tongs from off the altar: And he laid it upon my mouth, and said, Lo, this hath touched thy lips; and thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin purged.'  Isaiah 6:5-7

  The universe is a courtroom with the Almighty God as judge . God's people are described as magistrates ,  Psalm 82:6 says ..' ye are gods.." The word gods is the Hebrew word  el-o-heem' it means magistrates , great judges . That is why we can pass decrees , bind and loose ( Matthew 18:18, Job 22:28) Every statement including sighs are recorded for or against us in the universal court of law. Prayer gives God the legal grounds to act on out behalf .

   Jesus Christ said " Matthew 12:37 "For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned. " 

 When you pray you need to give a justifiable reason why God should answer the prayer . The only reason should be that his will be done .  The Bible says God does things according to the counsel of his will. If He has purposed it and shall bring it to pass.

    Whenever our confessions line up with his word , the power of God is activated to work in our favour bringing healing and deliverances .

  The holiness of God gives no room for the slightest error in prayers .Every time we speak a word that is contrary to God's will concerning what we are praying for, it cancels the prayer previously made concerning the prayer point. That was what happened to Isaiah 6:5 when he said " .. I am undone ..."  The word 'undone' cancelled his  prayers . The word 'undone ' is the Hebrew word dâmâh it means to be dumb or silent; hence to fail or perish; transitively to destroy: - {cease} be cut down ({off}) . Imagine praying for breakthroughs and at the same time saying I'm finished , destroyed  , I'll be dammed , I'm cut off, I don fuck up  etc slangs often used in the world . As casual as they sound , they resonate within the court room of the most high God and cancel prayers .

    It is for this reason that the apostle Paul said in Colossians 4:6 "Let your speech be alway with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man.'

  The angels had to quickly put coals of fire in his mouth to change his confession or else he would have been destroyed. 

  Pray and watch what you are saying if it lines up with the word of God , anytime we err, remember we have the blood as the eraser to wrong confessions ( Col. 2:14) and 1 John 1:7,9 "But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.

[9]If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."

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 .

ACCESS TO UNLIMITED PROVISIONS

ACCESS TO UNLIMITED PROVISIONS

October 8 , 2023

By Rev Michael Benson Ajayi 

Matt 6:32 AMP ”For the Gentiles (heathen) wish for and crave and diligently seek all these things, and your heavenly Father knows well that you need them all.”

      Prayer is the communication between God and His children ;it involves exchange of information : therefore after speaking to the heavenly Father; we should wait for a reply . The answer could be through an inner voice by the Holy Ghost, through an anointed servant of God, ministry of angels or through the written word of God. God always replies prayers and if we could develop the habit of waiting to hear Him speak to us, we would be less anxious and make fewer errors in our decision making. At such times Satan always reminds us of our weaknesses, this to weaken our faith and eventually make us give up.

          God does not need you asking for air to breath before giving it , He knows you need clean breathable air as a matter of necessity. He already knows what we need. The scriptures say God has given us all that we need, 2 Peter 1:3-4NLT”By his divine power, God has given us everything we need for living a godly life. We have received all of this by coming to know him, the one who called us to himself by means of his marvelous glory and excellence.” What this means literally is that just like the air we breathe, God has made provision for our jobs, marriages, healing, finances, academics, ministry etc. and we receive them through an intimate knowledge of Jesus’ voice. Therefore, instead of being anxious over a matter, we should rather give thanks ;acknowledging the provision that has been made while asking for wisdom on how to access what has been made available. Seek for wisdom on how to have a peaceful home and it shall be given to you.

            We are asked to earnestly seek wisdom(James1:3) through more mature believers,reading books,training, fasting and prayer without anxiety. Fear borne out of anxiety is a smokescreen that makes it hard to see what God has provided. Meditating on and declaring God's word over our lives eliminates fear. God is more interested in you receiving your blessings than you are . Unnecessary delays are usually caused by the misinterpretation of scriptures . 

  There is a misconception of the scripture in Luke 18:1-7,8… "And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them?.. " . Erroneously , God is likened to an unjust judge who needs to be arm-twisted or bribed with an offering  before He can answer a prayer .Many persons have gotten hurt as a result of this while carrying out so-called ‘spiritual assignments’ needed for answers to their prayers. The parable in Luke18:1-8 is a comparative analysis of God's willingness to answer our prayers with this unjust judge's unwillingness. This widow had more confidence in man solving her problem than in God, this should not be, He wants us to trust Him more than we trust any human being for our needs despite the devil’s delays (Daniel10:12-14) He will surely meet those needs. Trust Him.

 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 the Holy Ghost and power for unlimited provisions and uncommon breakthroughs in Jesus name . .

ENCOURAGE YOURSELF IN THE LORD

 ENCOURAGE YOURSELF IN THE LORD

September 06, 2023

By Rev. Michael Benson Ajayi 

Exodus 14:13-14 NIV “Moses answered the people, "Do not be afraid. Stand firm and you will see the deliverance the Lord will bring you today. The Egyptians you see today you will never see again. The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still." 

    Moses was faced with a situation in his leadership  were all human formula failed him:  he was being chased by Pharaoh and the Egyptian army and the only way forward was through the sea. Death was certain whichever way , except there was divine intervention. Sometimes we find ourselves where our best plans fail not because we did not make the necessary calculations but due to circumstances beyond our control, this results in discouragement and depression with suicidal tendencies. 

   Many persons are simply going through the motions of life, they’ve actually lost the will to live. Some of the factors that results in discouragement includes;

   THE HARDNESS OF THE WAY (Numbers 21:4 ): God’s way to ultimate success and breakthroughs is usually the slowest but the surest. He waits for your peers to achieve what they consider as best, then He gives you something that would make you the envy of all (Ephesians 3:20, Psalm45:7) He will give the double for your shame. Another source of discouragement is

  THE DIFFICULTY OF THE TASK BEFORE US ( Nehemiah 4:10) the Jews were frustrated by the amount of waste material that had to be excavated in other to rebuild the broken walls of Jerusalem , likewise , we may be required to first clear out some junk in our life’s before starting a major project and this can be overwhelming , this may require , ending an inappropriate emotional relationship that comes with financial gains , acquiring a school degree to qualify for a job, changing a mainly consumer nation to a manufacturing nation,  etc 

DELAY IN THE FULFILMENT OF DESIRES , is a major source of discouragement to many, you may be waiting for a government agency to issue you a document or finance your project , a process meant to take a week may take a year or more , this has led to many persons abandoning dreams , delayed dreams is a major cause of terminal diseases and death in third world countries were corruption is rife resulting in delayed desires . Prov 13:12 TLB says “Hope deferred makes the heart sick; but when dreams come true at last, there is life and joy”. Delayed marriage is another source of discouragement, this is also caused by corruption and poverty . Despite the perceived challenges, God will send helpers to you ( Isaiah 41:13) says ‘I WILL HELP YOU’ Jesus does not want you to be afraid , He said ‘be not afraid ‘ (Matthew.14:27 ,17:7,Acts 23:11, Acts 27:22) .He has promised to bless the journey of your life (Genesis 26:24) Grant you overshadowing care (Matthew10:31) 

He will always be your companion in trying times when everyone has abandoned you ( (Isaiah 43:1-3) . He will give you strength in the time of weakness ( Isaiah 41:10) therefore , your case is not hopeless . His angels have been assigned to watch over you in the time of disaster and war ( 2Kings 6:16) and would guarantee your needs are met in the time of national economic difficulties (1Kings 17:13) He has great plans for you . Put your trust in Him. 

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 Ghost and power to overcome the temptation to give up on my dreams and I receive strength for breakthroughs in Jesus name.

WITCHCRAFT CANNOT ALTER YOUR DESTINY

 

WITCHCRAFT CANNOT ALTER YOUR DESTINY

 

 By Rev. Michael Benson Ajayi 

Eccl 11:3 AMP bible” If the clouds are full of rain, they empty themselves upon the earth; and if a tree falls toward the south or toward the north, in the place where the tree falls, there it will lie.” 

    Superstitious is defined as: a belief or practice resulting from ignorance, fear of the unknown, trust in magic or chance, or a false conception of causation : it is an irrational abject attitude of mind toward the supernatural, nature, it can also be described as a notion maintained despite evidence to the contrary” (Merriam Webstar Dictionary ) Superstitious beliefs are the greatest hindrance to the development of underdeveloped countries . They militate against scientific discoveries and productive work ethics. They stifle creativity and promote mediocrity.

     Science is a gift from God to help us appreciate and harness the potentials of the universe. It is a gift of the Holy Spirit described as the ‘word of knowledge’ (1Cor 12:8). The word ‘knowledge’ as used in 1 Corinthians 12:8 is the Greek word ‘gnosis’ which means scientific knowledge. This means Christians are supposed to be at the forefront of scientific discoveries. Most physical problems for which endless ‘deliverances’ are made can be easily solved scientifically. Through science we now know ‘ogbanje’ is sickle cell anemia and can better be managed with proper medications and a lifestyle change . Unfortunately, many religious leaders promote superstitious theology above sound doctrine and their followers have become superstitious in all things (Acts17:23). This kind of teaching deprives followers from having a loving one-of-a-kind personal relationship with Jesus Christ .They are grossly suspicious of every friendly gesture . These preachers assume the position of go- between like the ancient African voodoo priests who claimed to be God’s spokespersons. 

    God wants to be known by all without intermediaries because of the insincerity in man (John14:6,21,23). The most popular of these superstitious theologies is that of the ‘planting of charms’ in locations only known by the juju priest or ‘prophet’ who against Jesus' instructions (Isaiah45:13,Matt10:8) often request to be paid before you can be 'delivered' . They claim 'juju' or charms' can hinder a person’s progress .This is contrary to the scriptures which says idols (jujus or charms) are worthless (Habakkuk .2:18-19,1Corinthians .10:19) The born again Christian is immune to demonic oppression (2Timothy.1:7,Hebrew.2:14-15,Luke10:19). Demons are terrified by Born again Christians . The activities of these superstitious preachers leads to widespread hatred ,irresponsibility and corruption in a society (Isaiah1:23-25). According to Eccl.11:3, an inanimate object such as that made of wood cannot hinder the blessings of a child of God. It is what it is, like a fallen tree: DEAD. Job 5:6 puts it so directly” Job 5:6 “Although affliction cometh not forth of the dust, neither doth trouble spring out of the ground;” This means the failure of marriages , businesses, relationships, finances etc. can’t be attributed to a charm buried somewhere beneath the soil or a voodoo priest's invocations Human misery is as a result of selfishness (Galatians 6:7-9) therefore, we should make conscious effort to be hospitable, just, fair and show benevolence on a daily basis. Most problems are caused by the lack of the Christlike character. We should seek for mentors who will teach us the principles of Bible-based success and not reject the discipline that comes with it. 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 Ghost and power to terminate every evil appointment against my prosperity in Jesus name.

GRACE AND THE LEGITIMIZATION OF ILLEGITIMACY

 GRACE AND THE LEGITIMIZATION OF ILLEGITIMACY 

By Rev Michael Benson Ajayi

"What sorrow awaits the unjust judges and those who issue unfair laws. They deprive the poor of justice  and deny the rights of the needy among my people. They prey on widows  and take advantage of orphans.     What will you do when I punish you,  when I send disaster upon you from a distant land? 

 To whom will you turn for help?    Where will your treasures be safe? You will stumble along as prisoners  or lie among the dead.   But even then the lord’s anger will not be satisfied. His fist is still poised to strike." Isaiah 10:1-4 NLT Bible 

   One of the errors with the teaching on the message of grace is that a person can do whatever and ask God for mercy and he will answer and let you get away with your crime. 

    This teaching has led many to destructive tendencies such as the violation of the rights of the poor by men of influence through the judiciary. 

      Is it true that they will get away with it ? Definitely not . Jesus Christ said in Luke 12:48

'But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more. "

    We can see from the above scriptures that every error comes with unpleasant repercussions. A parallel of this scripture is in 2 Samuel 12:15-16,18 "And Nathan departed unto his house. And the LORD struck the child that Uriah's wife bare unto David, and it was very sick. David therefore besought God for the child; and David fasted, and went in, and lay all night upon the earth. And it came to pass on the seventh day, that the child died.  .." In the new testament in Acts 12: 1-24 Herod used the judiciary to oppress God's servant Peter and was slain by an angel. This resulted in the growth of God's word. No amount of devotion , fasting , offerings and fasting can prevent God's judgment against a person who abuses authority. Its all about a matter of time . The sword of divine justice will descend on them.

     King David was described as a man after God's heart and that did not prevent God's judgment against him. 

  The poor and helpless are dear to God and he says he will punish any judge who judges evil against them even when the judge repents like David.. 

 The Bible says in 1 Thessalonians 5:22

'Abstain from all appearance of evil. '.  Therefore, it makes no sense to say I'll sin and ask God for mercy and he will forgive me. 

 Isaiah 33;1 KJV says you shall face the consequences .

    The judiciary is sacred and should not be used as a  tool against the will and aspirations of the needy , the bible says Psalms 72:4 'He shall judge the poor of the people, he shall save the children of the needy, and shall break in pieces the oppressor."  That's what Isaiah 10:1-4 says.

Prayer. Heavenly Father of my sins against you I believe Jews died and was raised for my salvation and receive him as lord and saviour and receive the Holy ghost and boldness to preach the gospel of truth.

HOW CAN A LOVING GOD ALLOW SO MUCH EVIL AND SUFFERINGS

 HOW CAN A LOVING GOD ALLOW SO MUCH EVIL AND SUFFERINGS

October 03, 2023

By Rev. Michael Benson Ajayi.

 "'so all the world from east to west will know there is no other God. I am the Lord , and there is no other. I create the light and make the darkness. I send good times and bad times. I, the Lord , am the one who does these things." Isaiah 45:6‭-‬7 NLT

   God is both creator and judge , he judges our choices . He gave us the right to chose as an act of love. The first couple :Adam and Eve where given the right to make choices between Good and Evil that was the essence of the Tree of Good and Evil . A test of their fidelity. The life we live and our environment is a function of the choices that we make : this is what gives meaning to life's circumstances . When God created the world it was in perfect harmony with Heaven , the Bible says in Genesis 1:1" created the heavens and the Earth " the word 'and' is a conjunction, meaning the Earth was in perfect harmony with God until man made a choice to live independent of God , this was the Genesis of the instabilities of life on earth . Every manufacturer attaches a product manual to his product before selling to customers: when God created the Earth he gave Adam the manual for operating the Earth. Adam disregarded the manual and what we see as evil today is the consequences of rejecting the manufacturer's manual.. the Earth was created with its standard scientific operating system ( e.g temperature , Atmospheric pressures, Humidity etc ) the cataclysmic activities across the world are consequent on the violation of environmental laws . For instance deadly earth tremors have been experienced in places with excessive mining activities thousands of feet beneath the ground . Also global warming results in destructive floods worldwide. To every action there is a reaction. The reactions or events we experience are God's response to our action through the elements of the universe. God's essence permeates throughout the fabric of the material universe . He is everywhere and in all things . the book of Job says " Do you know the laws of the universe? Can you use them to regulate the earth? Job 38:33 NLT    

     The universe was created by a living God and has intelligence and response to us in accordance to the actions we take in support or against the elements of the universe. Adam's choice of independence from God's wisdom , meant the only means of effective communication was through an adversity -and- reward system "For the godless are full of resentment. Even when he punishes them, they refuse to cry out to him for help. But by means of their suffering, he rescues those who suffer. For he gets their attention through adversity. Job 36:13‭, ‬15 NLT Bible .    Adversity is a necessary means of effective communication due to the hardness of the human heart. If we see God in our adversity we would be better off at the end “God is leading you away from danger, ...to a place free from distress. He is setting your table with the best food. Job 36:16 NLT Bible 

 Prayers : 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 Ghost and power to overcome the forces of darkness in Jesus name . +2348035536911, +2348098536911 email: michaelbensonajayi@gmail.com

PREVAILING PRAYERS FOR NATIONAL DELIVERANCE.

PREVAILING PRAYERS FOR NATIONAL DELIVERANCE.

By Rev Michael Benson Ajayi 

Ezekiel 11:1-4

[1]Moreover the spirit lifted me up, and brought me unto the east gate of the LORD'S house, which looketh eastward: and behold at the door of the gate five and twenty men; among whom I saw Jaazaniah the son of Azur, and Pelatiah the son of Benaiah, princes of the people.[2]Then said he unto me, Son of man, these are the men that devise mischief, and give wicked counsel in this city:[3]Which say, It is not near; let us build houses: this city is the caldron, and we be the flesh.[4]Therefore prophesy against them, prophesy, O son of man." 

  Jeremiah 29:7 "And seek the peace of the city whither I have caused you to be carried away captives, and pray unto the LORD for it: for in the peace thereof shall ye have peace."

   The place of faith and prayers in nation building cannot be overemphasised . When the foundation upon which a nation was build is faulty that nation will not know peace until the constitutional provisions for the cooperate existence of each citizen reflects fairness , equity and justice .

    It requires the services of God:s people to rightly draft a workable document as the constitution . Failure to do so will result in  ungodly governance with evil principalities and powers influencing those in power . This will result in insecurity and deaths  , that was the state of the nation in prophet Ezekiel's time. The Bible says in Ezekiel 11:6 "Ye have multiplied your slain in this city, and ye have filled the streets thereof with the slain."   

   These principalities operate through persons and God will do nothing if there is no one to intercede . Intercession involves contending in deliverance prayer in righteous judgement against those persons holding the nation through diabolic means. 

 When Ezekiel prophesied , there was instant judgment against the agents of darkness that have help the nation bound in stagnation .

    Ezekiel numbered 25 men. In every nation there are 25 individuals that constitute a cabal which Satan uses to oppress God's people , they operate through religious leaders , the media , military and other security agencies , the academia , family heads and community leaders . 

   Whatever you bind on earth is bound in heaven so believers are supposed to bind the plans of these persons from coming to pass. Pray in tongues while quoting scriptures such as ( Psalm 125;3, Psalm 94:20-23, psalm 140;8-13, Ezekiel 21:26-27)

  Never underestimate the power of your prayers. Make a commitment to recruit new persons into this army of intercessors .This was how some of the great nations were formed .Prayers results in an increase in trade and enterprise and integrity which creates the necessary environment for prosperity and national development. 

   Like the prophet Isaiah we should say  Isaiah 62:1 "For Zion's sake will I not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem's sake I will not rest, until the righteousness thereof go forth as brightness, and the salvation thereof as the lamp the burneth "

The church in Nigeria will not know peace until Nigeria is known for righteousness. 

Prayer : Heavenly Father forgive me of my sins , I believe Jesus Christ died and was raised again for my salvation , I receive as lord and saviour and  receiver he Holy Ghost and power for prevailing prayer .
