Introduction

“Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the

knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the
measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:”

Ephesians 4:13

It is a big immaturity when doctrinal disagreement begins

to lead to personal disrespect. I have once said that,
‘WHO’ we believe should be what binds us together in the
body of Christ and not ‘WHAT’ we believe.

Who we believe has to do with the ‘PERSON OF

CHRIST,’ while what we believe has to do with
‘DOCTRINE’. The fact is that till kingdom comes, the
body of Christ can never come to the unity of Doctrine, we
can only come to the Unity of the knowledge and faith in
the person of Christ. So, once we believe in the same
person of Christ, that should be enough reason to bind us
together in love, but it is unfortunate that we reject one
another, abuse one another, speak insultive words to one
Pastor Banjo Ayeka

another in the body of Christ, just because of the difference

in ‘WHAT’ we believe.

I have learnt this long ago from Daddy Enoch Adeboye of

RCCG and Daddy David Oyedepo of Living Faith. It is
very obvious that the Doctrine of RCCG is totally different
from the Doctrine of Winners. Yet, the relationship
between Daddy Adeboye and Daddy Oyedepo remains a
close father and son relationship till today after moving
together with different doctrines for over 40 years.

- Can you have a spiritual son who has a different

doctrine with you and yet still remains one of your closest
spiritual sons? Can you have a spiritual father with
different doctrine with you and yet still maintain your
fatherly relationship with him?

Yes, and this is because as long as ‘WHO’ we believe is

one, that should be enough to bring us together and be
enough to make us stay together. If what we believe causes
disunity, causes disagreement, then we are not matured,
and we are not yet skillful in the word of righteousness
 The Unity of Faith

because the SCRIPTURE is given to us to argue with the

devil and not argue with one another.

Do we all believe in Jesus?

- Yes.

Do we all believe in the Holy spirit?

- Yes.

Do we all believe that God is our father?

- Yes

Do we all believe that Jesus is the Lord, our Savior and he

is coming back again?

- Yes.

Do we all believe he died for our sin?

- Yes.

Then why war amongst us?!!!

Pastor Banjo Ayeka

Just because you don't believe in speaking in tongues, and

you see another Christain unfollowing you, this our
generation needs to learn. Did you know that Daddy
Kumuyi doesn't believe in speaking in tongues in
congregation, but Daddy Adeboye believes in speaking in
tongues in public and yet both of them are still close
friends till today? We have seen on many occasions where
Daddy Kumuyi came to the Redemption camp to minister
and yet miracles took place with his belief. You said the
reason people are not operating in the supernatural, and
why they will die not operating in the supernatural is
because they don't speak in tongues, but check the church
history and see many God's Generals who never believed
in speaking in tongues and yet operated in strange
supernatural and miraculous manifestations.

Why? Because they believed in Jesus, and WHO they

believed brought them into the supernatural because Jesus
never told us that ‘you shall cast out demons in the name
of speaking in tongues,’ he didn't say ‘these signs shall
follow those that believe in speaking in tongues.’ All he
 The Unity of Faith

said is that, ‘these signs shall follow those that believe in

him, and in his name (Jesus Christ), they will cast out
demons and raise the dead.’

Meaning, who you believe is what majorly matters and not

what you believe when it comes to any supernatural
manifestation.

Do you believe in Jesus? If yes, you have license to all the

blessings in eternity, you have license to receive anything
in this kingdom, and manifest anything in this kingdom
irrespective of what you believe. It is as simple as that. We
begin to run a wrong race when we ‘major on WHAT’ we
believe and ‘minor on WHO’ we believe which is the
person of Christ. We lose focus on our enemy which is the
devil and begin to see ourselves as enemies fighting one
another once we take our eyes and mind off WHO we
believe and focus on WHAT we believe.

So, either you believe in tongues and another doesn't

believe in tongues that should not result in a
misunderstanding once both of us BELIEVE in Jesus.
Both of us can operate in the supernatural once we believe
Pastor Banjo Ayeka

in Jesus because the supernatural does not come based on

WHAT you believe, it comes based on WHO you believe.
It is in his name we do any supernatural work, and not in
the name of the doctrine we believe.

Truly, I may have my stand, I have my beliefs, and those

following my teachings will know my beliefs, but that will
not make me disrespect your beliefs. I can read your books
and learn from it because you believe in Jesus. So, I write
to us in the body of Christ, let us focus on who we believe
and build our relationship on that and not what we believe.
We will always have differences in what we believe till
Kingdom come, but we can have the same understanding
in who we believe till Kingdom come. Look at the
SCRIPTURE again;

‘Till we all come in THE UNITY OF THE FAITH, and

of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man,
unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ:’

Ephesians 4:13
 The Unity of Faith

When the Bible says, ‘till we all come into the unity of
faith and knowledge of Christ,’ the UNITY OF FAITH
here is not in what we believe, but in who we believe. The
Bible says, ‘till we all come to the knowledge of the son
of God, not till we all come to the knowledge of fasting,
knowledge of prayer, knowledge of tithing and knowledge
of speaking in tongues.’

So why does believing in tithing and not believing in

tithing result in a misunderstanding? Do both of us
BELIEVE in Jesus? If yes, that is the center message. We
are brethren, and this is how love can manifest amongst
us. Once we both believe in Jesus, we are born by the same
spirit, we both have the same salvation, born by the same
incorruptible word, and we both have the person of the
same Holy Spirit in us. We are both born by the same
heavenly father, so fighting me is the same as fighting your
biological brother. Be honest with yourself, do you and
your biological brother have the same understanding? But
because of the blood, both of you are still in brotherly love.
Pastor Banjo Ayeka

Then why disunity in the body of Christ? Why

misunderstanding? Is it just because of what we believe?
It isn't worth it. What binds us together is bigger than what
should separate us apart. I became what I am today not
because of what I believe, it is because of who I believe,
and whatever I will become in life will be based on who I
believe!! I have said it, in this kingdom, no one gets results
because he does anything right, we all get results because
Christ did everything right. If you want to know, just
OBSERVE many people with different beliefs and yet you
see them with the same result. The beliefs of Daddy
Kumuyi and Daddy Oyakhilome are totally opposite and
yet they both have the same supernatural results, they both
command the same or similar crowd in their program, they
both heal the sick, raise the dead and heal the crippled.

Daddy Kumuyi will teach and preach for 50 minutes, and

just pray for 10 minutes in programs or crusades and you
see strange supernatural results happening, while Daddy
Olu Alo or Daddy Hezekiah of CAC will teach for just ten
minutes and lead the congregation in 50 minutes prayers
 The Unity of Faith

and you see supernatural results also happening. The

beliefs of Joseph Prince are different from the beliefs of
Benny Hinn and yet they both have supernatural results in
their ministries. You will not enter your rest in this
kingdom until you know this fact that no one including me
have any results in ministry because of WHAT we believe,
result comes because of WHO we believe.

Many members of many congregations never become 2

percent of what their General Overseer becomes and
operate in 2 percent of the supernatural they see in their
General Overseers simply because they are following him
based on what he believes which is DOCTRINE and not
based on who he believes which is JESUS. You only
become RELIGIOUS and never enter into the supernatural
when you are following any man of God because of
WHAT he believes and not WHO he believes. We don't
cast out demons because of WHAT we believe, it is
because of WHO we believe. Just look at this scripture;
Pastor Banjo Ayeka

“And John answered and said, Master, we saw one

casting out devils in thy name; and we forbad him, because
he followeth not with us. And Jesus said unto him, Forbid
him not: for he that is not against us is for us.”

Luke 9:49-50

This scripture shows us clearly of men who were casting

out demons and yet they were not Jesus’ followers, they
don't follow the doctrines of Jesus as the disciples do, but
just because they believed in the person of Jesus, they
began to cast out demons (just to show you that it is not a
matter of WHAT you believe, it is a matter of WHO you
believe). The disciples of Jesus began to act like
NIGERIAN churches, they came to Jesus that we see some
casting out demons and yet they don't belong to our
denominations because they thought it is only the
members of their denominations that can walk in that
dimension, but look at the response of Jesus;
 The Unity of Faith

50: “And Jesus said unto him, Forbid him not: for
he that is not against us is for us.”

Jesus said to them, ‘don't worry about them, once they

don't speak against the person of Jesus, they are part of us.
They may speak against tithing, don't worry. They may
speak against speaking in tongues that should not worry
you.’

Do they speak against Christ? If not, then, they are part of

us, we are still brethren. So, you may want to ask, can this
scripture ever come to fulfillment?

“Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the

knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the
measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ:”

Ephesians 4:13

Yes, sir! How?

Just follow this short book.

Pastor Banjo Ayeka
 The Unity of Faith

Chapter One
The Doctrinal Difference
“We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is
written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also
believe, and therefore speak;”

2 Corinthians 4:13

When different spiritual things that we do begin to give us

the same or similar supernatural results, it means the
results don't come because of what we believe and do,
rather, the result comes because of who we believe.
Meaning, we get the same results because we believe in
the same person, not necessarily because we have the same
doctrine.

It is obvious to all of us that many big denominations we

have today in Africa have the same or similar supernatural
results, yet with different doctrines which some are
extremely opposite to one another, yet, you will notice one
thing about them all, they all believe in Jesus as their Lord
and Savior. Meaning, their results are not because of
Pastor Banjo Ayeka

WHAT they all believe, it is rather because of WHO they

all believe. It is because we have the same spirit of faith
that we have the same results and not because we have the
same doctrines, and the spirit of faith manifests as
believing in the same person which is Jesus and not
necessarily believing in the same doctrine.

Any dimension you operate in, and you see men not doing
the same thing you do and yet getting the same results you
get, just know, it is not about what you do that makes you
get that result. That is, you can still get the same results if
you don't do the same thing. Mind you, this only applies
to getting supernatural results in anything and not getting
natural results in anything because ‘natural results of any
kind only respond to the law of nature, they only respond
to natural laws, while supernatural results of any kind only
respond to Faith in just one person and that is Jesus.’

*It is in his name we do anything, it is in his name we

become anything, it is in his name we cast out demons.*

We received power to become Sons of God because we

believe in his name.
 The Unity of Faith

“But as many as received him, to them gave he power to

become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his
name:”

John 1:12

Meaning, you don't become a son because you choose to;

you become a son because a power is given to you to
become a son and that power is not given because of what
you believe, it is given because of who you believe.”

This is just to show you the importance of who you should

believe rather than what you should believe. So, if you say
you need to fast and pray for 1 year in a territory before
taking over the territory and you see another one just
coming into territory and taking it effortlessly, just know
that what you do is personal.

*It is not a doctrine to be generalized.*

For instance, in the year 2020, God led me to move out of

Abuja to relocate to the capital of Ondo state known as
AKURE, I thought I will get to Akure and begin church
immediately, but for 2 years, I was in Akure and God
Pastor Banjo Ayeka

never talked to me about starting a church, he just told me

to be observing the land and for two years I was doing that.
Do you know that God can lead another person to the same
land and God will ask him to start a church immediately.

Why? The same God but different operations.

“And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same

God which worketh all in all.”

1 Corinthians 12:6

We should not fight because our operations are not the

same as long as the Lord that gives the operations is one.
You are not getting results because of the way you are
operating. Your way of operations is not the only way
everyone must follow. This is further to let us know that
our differences shouldn't lead to our disunity. Until we
understand this scripture, we may keep on arguing the
SCRIPTURES and using the Bible to fight ourselves when
we are supposed to be eating on the same plate because of
Jesus. We will keep on departing because of doctrinal
 The Unity of Faith

differences when we are supposed to be united because of

the same belief in Jesus.

Do you know that it took years for Peter and Paul to come
to the same understanding of belief in doctrine? It took
time for Peter to come to the knowledge of the belief of
Paul. For you to know that the issue of different doctrines
didn't start from today, and there is nothing we can do
about it, but there is something we can do to the disunity
that different doctrines are causing.

Can we stop different doctrines? No.

Can we live together with it and yet still be in love and

peace with one another? Yes, and that is the purpose of
this book.

*That is, can we have different doctrinal beliefs and still

eat from the same plate? Yes, if the understanding can be
applied to all these things.*

If you study love and study the body of Christ, you will
know that love is missing in the body of Christ. We have
thrown love away for the sake of doctrine instead of us to
Pastor Banjo Ayeka

throw doctrine away for the sake of love. The two greatest
commandments given to us are to love God and love our
neighbors. How can you now begin to love doctrines more
than your neighbors? How can you now begin to hold unto
doctrines and throw away relationships with men instead
of you to throw away doctrines and hold unto relationships
with men?

When you claim you are fighting people to protect the

word of God, you are already breaking the same word of
God by fighting people, because you can't say you love
God and hate men.

“If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a

liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen,
how can he love God whom he hath not seen?”

1 John 4:20

‘When the God you are defending wanted to react to those

who were breaking his laws and words, he died for them,
so why live to fight those Christ died for just because of
doctrinal differences?!!’
 The Unity of Faith

You are under the spirit of the men that killed Jesus when
you begin to fight men to protect doctrines because the
men that killed Jesus only killed him for differences in
doctrines. You are under the influence of RELIGIOUS
SPIRIT if your beliefs are making you break out of
brotherly relationship with your fellow brethren in the
Lord just because of what you believe because the
message is not the doctrines of your denomination, the
message is Christ and the COMMANDMENT is LOVE.

‘The fruit of the spirit is not nine, the fruit of the spirit is
just one which is love but manifests as joy, peace,
gentleness, patience, self control, e.t.c’

So, where is the peace that the Bible says we should follow
with all men in you when you begin to fight men because
of doctrines? You said you are protesting for HOLINESS
Doctrines, yet you are fighting men because they are not
following your Holiness Doctrines. It means that the
Scriptural Doctrines you uphold to believe the Doctrines
of HOLINESS, you didn't read it very well because if you
read it very well, you will know that the first thing the
Pastor Banjo Ayeka

Bible says is that follow peace with all men, not follow
peace with SOME men but follow peace with ALL men
and the second part now says, “and without HOLINESS,
(that two) no man shall see the Lord.”

“Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which

no man shall see the Lord:”

Hebrews 12:14

Meaning, the SCRIPTURE never says, “Without

HOLINESS, no man shall see God.” It says, “Without
following peace with all men and HOLINESS…” You
hold unto HOLINESS and fail to follow peace with all
men, you can see that you don't understand the doctrine
you are even defending. Where is the fruit of self-control
when you begin to argue the SCRIPTURE not in a
constructive and respectful manner with someone on
social media? Where is the fruit of gentleness when we
begin to fight one another due to doctrinal differences?

If eventually what you claim to believe is the right

Message, we should see it manifesting as the fruit of the
 The Unity of Faith

spirit in you because any doctrine that doesn't manifest as

the fruit of the spirit in you is not worth accepting from
you if you want to make men believe your teachings. So,
the message is Christ, who we believe is the message and
once all of us BELIEVE in Jesus, God is saying we're
already manifesting the unity of faith. We don't change
into the image of Christ by following doctrines, we change
by beholding him, and as we behold him, we are
transformed from one glory to another.

“But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the

glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from
glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.”

2 Corinthians 3:18

So, the focus is Jesus and I write to us all, don't let us lose
focus of the message; we belong to the same body of
Christ because of WHO we believe and not WHAT we
believe, while we belong to the different denominations
because of WHAT we believe and not WHO we believe.
Pastor Banjo Ayeka

Now, denominations may be MANY but the body of

Christ is ONE.

If you want to know those that are not part of the body of
Christ, they are those saying Jesus is not the Lord, they are
not those saying tithing is not right. Jesus said clearly, “if
they are not against us, they are for us.”

“And Jesus said unto him, forbid him not: for he that is
not against us is for us.”

Luke 9:50

He didn't say, “he that is not against our teaching…” For

them not to follow Jesus may be that they don't believe in
some of the teachings of Jesus, but they believed in the
person of Jesus. They were not against him and they didn't
speak against him. Infact, Jesus said, “they are for us and
they are part of us” because who we believe is the product
of one spirit, while what we believe is the product of our
different understanding. That is, we may have the same
belief in the person of Jesus but have different
understandings of the Bible.
 The Unity of Faith

So, our different understanding of the Bible shouldn't

cause our disunity once our difference in the person of
Jesus is one and same. Have you OBSERVED that almost
every denomination has the same belief about Jesus, then
why war just because we have different doctrinal beliefs
caused by different understanding of the Bible? The devil
has chances to enter into the body of Christ when we all
begin to take our eyes off Jesus and focus on the Bible;
instead of us all to be in search for Jesus in the Bible, we
are in search for doctrines in the Bible to hold unto. That
is why to promote love and unity amongst ourselves, let us
just focus on the knowledge of the person of Christ.

The reason why God gave some Apostles, prophets,

teachers, pastors, and evangelists is till we all come into
the knowledge of the son.

“And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and

some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; For the
perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for
the edifying of the body of Christ: Till we all come in the
UNITY OF THE FAITH, AND OF THE KNOWLEDGE
Pastor Banjo Ayeka

OF THE SON OF GOD, unto a perfect man, unto the

measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:”

Ephesians 4:11-13

The focus is the knowledge of the sons of God, not the

knowledge of the Bible. You may know the Bible and not
know Christ, and if what you know about the Bible is not
a book that talks about Christ, then you don't know the
Bible.

“Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal

life: and they are they which testify of me.”

John 5:39

If HOLINESS is what the Bible is pointing you to and not

Christ, then you don't get the message. The fivefold
ministry is given to bring the knowledge of the son of God
to the HEART OF MEN, not KNOWLEDGE of
DOCTRINE, but you see an Apostle not teaching the
knowledge of Christ but is busy using the pulpit to fight
other men of God who don't have same doctrine with him.
This is one of the immaturities of the highest order and it
 The Unity of Faith

is a sign that love is missing in the body of Christ. Many

Christains are just confused due to different doctrines they
are coming across.

You will see some Christians saying I am confused, I don't

even know which one to believe and follow again because
everyone is just saying different things. Yes, you are
confused because you didn't follow Jesus; instead of you
going in search for Jesus to follow, you are looking for
doctrines to follow. Jesus said, “no one will follow me and
be in DARKNESS.”

Darkness means confusion, so if you say you are confused,

it is pure evidence that you are not following Jesus. You
are only following one popular man of God and after
following him for years and you don't get the results you
desire, you begin to follow another man of God. So, within
2 years you have followed 5 different men of God. Sir, you
are confused because you're not following Jesus, you are
only following results and thinking there is something that
those that have results know which you need to learn from
them!!
Pastor Banjo Ayeka

Sir, there is NOTHING they know, there is only

SOMEONE they know, they know Jesus

And if you also know Jesus, you will get the results they
get because what Jesus did, he said, “we will do and more
than what he did, we will do just on one condition if we
can believe in him.”

Not if we can believe any doctrine; Christ is the message

and not doctrine!

Your hunger should just be *That I May Know Him.*

One of the best ways to be RELIGIOUSLY frustrated is

when you build your life on doctrines not centered on
Christ as a means to the end of what you need from God,
instead of putting your hope in someone (Christ) as a
means to the end of what you need from God.

*Doctrinal belief is not the way, Christ is the way!!!*

- Doctrines not centered on Christ promotes disunity,

Christ promotes UNITY.
 The Unity of Faith

- Doctrines not centered on Christ gave birth to

religion, while Christ gave birth to Christianity.

Christianity becomes a religion when you begin to mix

WHAT people should believe in addition to WHO they
already believe because religion only make you to
understand that believing in Jesus is not enough, there are
somethings you must also believe with it, and this is where
Christianity becomes powerless, religious and confusing,
this is how different wind of doctrines enter into true
spirituality, this is how different form of doctrines rise
from one Body of Christ.

The road to commanding the supernatural could have

become so easy if the focus of men is only on Jesus and
faith in him only as all you need to command any
supernatural because whatever faith in Jesus alone can't
get you, no sacrifice can get it for you. Whatever a simple
2 minute prayer can't achieve based on faith in Jesus, a 50
hour prayer can't achieve it also due to faith in the doctrine
of prayer because commanding the supernatural can be as
simple as this;
Pastor Banjo Ayeka

“And these signs shall follow them that BELIEVE; IN MY

NAME shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with
new tongues; they shall take up serpents; and if they drink
any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay
hands on the sick, and they shall recover.”

Mark 16:17-18 {KJV}

Jesus is saying, “Just believing in him is all you need to

command those exploits.” It becomes easy for the Holy
Spirit to speak to you when you focus on Christ, while it
becomes difficult for the Holy Spirit to direct you when
you focus on doctrine. It becomes difficult for the religious
spirit to direct you when you focus only on who you
believe, which is Christ, while it becomes so easy for the
religious spirit to lead you when you focus on what you
believe. That is why, a spirit can come to you and ask you
to fast for 40 days dry so as to receive power, and you will
think it is the Holy Spirit, it is because you already have a
belief that to enter into power, you must fast for minimum
 The Unity of Faith

of 21 days, so, that belief is what RELIGIOUS SPIRIT

ride upon to suffer you.

You fail to accept that it is a RELIGIOUS SPIRIT because

you have been wrongly taught that the devil can never ask
you to fast, give or pray. You fail to know that the devil
can ask you to fast once the reason is not scriptural. When
the devil wants to get you as a SINNER, he makes you do
what is not scriptural, but when he wants to get you as
CHRISTIANS, he makes you do what is scriptural with a
motive that is unscriptural.

A correct act with incorrect heart, a good act with a wrong

heart, and because men look and judge from the act, they
applaud him for paying good sacrifices, and wait for
supernatural manifestations that will show through it, but
because God looks at the heart, judges and blesses based
on the heart, you end up not seeing spiritual and
supernatural manifestation following such a person. You
now begin to wonder, with the rate at which this man is
fasting and praying, with the rate at which he is paying
Pastor Banjo Ayeka

spiritual sacrifices, why is his life still empty of the

supernatural?

It is because you are looking at his act, but God is looking

at his heart; your act can be scriptural and your motive can
be unscriptural. That is why, when Jesus began to attack
the Pharisees, he wasn’t attacking their actions, he wasn’t
attacking them because of their actions, he was attacking
them because of their motives.

Oh!, the Pharisee could pray. You need to see their fasting
life, very good and accurate, in fact, the Bible says they
fast three times in one week but as dry as a dried bone
spiritually. Nothing is supernatural about them because
when you read the book of Matthew 6, you will begin to
see where Jesus began to expose their motives for prayer
and fasting.

“And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the

hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the
synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may
be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, they have their
reward.”
 The Unity of Faith

Matthew 6:5

“Moreover when ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a

sad countenance: for they disfigure their faces that they
may appear unto men to fast. Verily I say unto you, they
have their reward.”

Matthew 6:16

You can see a good act that is SCRIPTURAL, but with a

motive that is UNSCRIPTURAL; that is the devil for you,
and this is what he has turned many Christians into.

The difference between sinners and religious people at

times is that sinners do what is wrong, but religious people
do what is right with wrong motives. SINNERS do what
is unscriptural, but RELIGIOUS people do what is
SCRIPTURAL with unscriptural motives. So who you
believe, which is Jesus, makes it easy for the Holy Spirit
to speak to you because the Bible says, “when he comes,
he will not speak of himself, he will take out of Christ and
reveal it to you.”
Pastor Banjo Ayeka

“Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will

guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself;
but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he
will show you things to come. He shall glorify me: for he
shall receive of mine, and shall show it unto you.”

John 16:13-14

When your focus is who you believe, which is JESUS

CHRIST, it becomes so easy for the Holy Spirit to flow
with you, but when your focus is doctrines, it becomes so
difficult for the Holy Spirit to flow with you because the
strength of the Holy Spirit is Christ, he doesn't speak of
himself, he takes out of Christ and reveals it to you, while
the strength of the RELIGIOUS SPIRIT is doctrine, it
doesn't also speak of itself, it takes out from doctrines and
imposes it on you as yokes. Mind you, it is this
RELIGIOUS SPIRIT that Paul referred to as ‘the angel of
darkness’ who will pretend as an angel of light and come
to you.
 The Unity of Faith

2 Corinthians 11:14 “And no marvel; for Satan himself is

transformed into an angel of light.”

When Satan comes as an angel of darkness, he comes as

worldliness and holds the good things of this life to
blindfold the mind of people from seeing the light of
Christ (2 Cor 4 vs 4), but when he transforms as an angel
of light, he comes as religion and holds the Bible to take
the minds of Christians from focusing on Christ, he make
us to ‘major on the minor and minor on the major.’ If love
dwells amongst us, different beliefs on tithing can never
lead to misunderstanding and war among us, if love dwells
amongst us, our different understanding on speaking in
tongues can't lead to disunity because love makes us focus
on our similarities, while hatred makes us focus on our
differences. Different perspectives shouldn't separate us if
eventually the same divine nature of God dwelleth in us.
If we are related by Christ, why should we depart due to
the doctrinal crisis?

All these are problems caused by different doctrines

sponsored by religion. Not that doctrine is bad on its own,
Pastor Banjo Ayeka

it has a good way of preserving eternal relevance and any

supernatural that invades the earth from the throne of God.
When faith brings the supernatural, it is by doctrine that
such supernatural is preserved, so we can't understand the
relevance of doctrine. The only thing the religious spirit
does is to work on misplaced priorities, it makes us lose
focus on the person of Christ that should bind us together
and focus on the doctrines in the Bible. If we focus on the
Bible, we will all come up with different understanding
and claim it is the Holy Spirit that revealed what we all
hold unto that is contradicting each other, but if we all
focus on Christ, the message of Christ is so designed by
the Holy Spirit in such a way that if all of us gaze at him
and behold him even from different angles, we end up
coming up with the same message, or a similar message
that complements each other.

That is why you never see the book of Mathew, Mark,

Luke, and John contradicting each other, but when the
religious spirit took over the church, it silenced everything
that had to do with Christ and its finished work, and began
 The Unity of Faith

to exalt your work. When a religious spirit wants to teach

you on prayer, he will never point you to the teaching of
Christ on prayer in Matthew 6, he will rather point you to
Elijah. Religious spirit will be speaking to you in terms of
what you should do to be blessed by God and not what
Christ has done for you. His mission is to make the
sacrifices of Christ of no effect, and exalt the sacrifice you
should pay.

Not that the Holy Spirit will not tell you to do many things
religion is telling you to do, not that the Holy Spirit will
not lead you to pay sacrifices, but it will not be as what to
do to be ‘blessed by God’ but it will be as ‘a way of life
for the blessed one in Christ.’

Can the Holy Spirit lead you to fast? Yes.

Can religious spirit also lead you to fast? Yes.

Can the Holy Spirit lead you to give? Yes.

Can religious spirit also lead you to empty your account

for church or God's work? CAPITAL YES.
Pastor Banjo Ayeka

How will you know the difference? How will you know if
it is the Holy Spirit that is leading you or a religious spirit?

- You can easily know by the motives why that spirit

is asking you to do that thing.

When Holy Spirit is leading you to fast, the motive will

not be that he wants to give you power, the motive will not
be because of supernatural, the motive will be because of
transformation, that is, he is working on something in you,
he is dealing with some flesh in you and fasting may be
one of the instructions in the hand of the Holy Spirit to
deal with it, but when a religious spirit wants to lead you
to fasting, he will tell you that you need fasting to enter
into supernatural, so that your ministry will begin to
command crowd. The motive will just be selfish, even
though it is tied to the name of God.

When the Holy Spirit wants to teach us on speaking in

tongues, he tells us “he that speaks in tongues edifies
himself..”
 The Unity of Faith

1 Corinthians 14:4 “He that speaketh in an unknown

tongue edifieth himself;.”

Edification means transformation, but let someone with

a religious spirit teach on speaking in tongues, he/she will
begin to lead it to power, lead it to the supernatural when
SCRIPTURE never says anything on that. When the Holy
Spirit is leading you to give, you will surely know. It will
be either he is pointing you to the need in the life of the
person you want to give to, or pointing you to a need in
the Ministry you want to give to, that is, he is leading you
to bless lives because you have been blessed by Christ and
not leading you to bless lives or ministries so that you can
be blessed by Christ.

The Holy Spirit will never lead you to do what will negate
the finished works of Christ on the cross, he will rather
promote it. Another reason why the Holy Spirit may lead
you to give may be to work on you, that is, to lead you to
a realm where you will die to money. The Holy Spirit can
begin to lead you to empty your account when money is
becoming your god, he can lead you to sow your car once
Pastor Banjo Ayeka

he notices you have begun to love that car more than God,
when you begin to make that car your idol. So, giving can
be a way through which God works on you, and trains you
to die to the things of this world.

When a RELIGIOUS SPIRIT leads you to sow seeds, he

will move you to go and wait for when one angel will come
to credit your account with 20 Million Naira as a reward
of your sacrificial given, so that when success comes, you
will see something to boast of as the sacrificial secret to
your success. Pride begins to set in when you begin to
point men to the sacrifices you paid to enter into greatness,
and not pointing men to the grace of Jesus. The simple
humble response to anyone who asks you for the secret to
your success should be Grace.

Christ wants to bless you so that you can glorify him and
point men to him and not so that you can glorify doctrines.
Many will claim to be preaching and teaching for hours,
glorifying fasting and prayer, glorifying consecration and
 The Unity of Faith

in all his teachings, he may not mention Christ, he may not

glorify Christ.

Then we are servants of who, if he (Christ) is not

what we preach and teach?

Chapter Two
The Operational Differences.

*Then Jesus said to the centurion, “Go! Let it be done just

as you believed it would.” And his servant was healed at
that moment.*

Matthew 8 vs 13 {NIV}

Let me explain this scripture in content so as to understand

what I want to show us in this Bible verse. The Centurion
man came to Jesus to heal his servant in verses 5 and 6,
and Jesus responded in verse 7 that he will come to heal
the servant at home.

“And (The centurion man) says, Lord, my servant lieth at

home sick of the palsy, grievously tormented. And Jesus
saith unto him, I will come and heal him.”

Matthew 8:6-7
Pastor Banjo Ayeka

Take note, the plan of Jesus was to come to the house of

the centurion to heal the sick, but look at the response of
the centurion man.

“The centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not worthy

that thou shouldest come under my roof: but speak the
word only, and my servant shall be healed. For I am a man
under authority, having soldiers under me: and I say to this
man, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he
cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it.”

Matthew 8:8-9

Now, look at the response of Jesus;

“Then Jesus said to the centurion, “Go! Let it be done just

as you believed it would.” And his servant was healed at
that moment.”

Matthew 8:13

Meaning, my will is to heal your servant, but the method I

wanted to use before was to come to your house and lay
 The Unity of Faith

hands on him, but your belief made me use another

method. Meaning, if your belief is that I should come to
your house, let it be to you according to your faith, I will
surely come based on your Faith. If your belief is that until
I pray in water and give him to drink, let it be to you
according to your belief, I will surely come through what
you believe to do the healing, and if your belief is that I
don't need to come, but to just speak and by the word the
servant will be healed, let it be to you according to your
belief. Meaning, the focus is not the different operations
(what you believe), the focus is the same God which
worketh in all (who you believe).

“And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same

God which worketh all in all.”

1 Corinthians 12:6

*That is, WHO YOU BELIEVE determines who will do

the healing which is Jesus, while WHAT YOU BELIEVE
determines the method Jesus will use to do the healing
(different operation).*
Pastor Banjo Ayeka

You can see the difference between who you believe and
what you believe. The Centurion man BELIEVED in
Jesus, came to Jesus (BASED ON WHO HE BELIEVED),
and Jesus said, “I will heal the servant by coming to his
house,” but he believed that Jesus could heal his servant
without coming, just by speaking, and Jesus responded to
him, working the supernatural based on WHAT HE
BELIEVED.

*If you believe that it is until you get to Lagos at

Redemption camp of RCCG, or Shiloh Ground of Living
Faith before you will encounter God, and receive your
miracle, Jesus will be waiting for you there.*

If you also believe that you don't need to leave your house
before you will get your healing and miracle, Jesus will
come to you there. If your belief is that you need to seek
for men of God to impact you before you work in the
supernatural, Jesus will come to you through that belief. If
your belief is that you don't need to seek for men of God
about for impartation before you can be imparted and
operate in the supernatural, God will impart you without
 The Unity of Faith

directly meeting any man of God, and that is where I

belong, my belief is that I can be imparted by reading your
materials, or listening to your messages, or just sitting
under your live ministration without directly coming to
you to lay hand on me.

For example, I have this belief system that I don't need to

be seeking men of God for impartation, that Jesus can
impart me if he wants to use me, any way he wants. Jesus
acted based on my faith, made Daddy Gbile Akani´s
presence visit me in my dream years back, drew me closer
and breathed into my nose. In that dream, I fell under the
anointing, and that dream resulted in the fruit of the
teaching grace people are seeing in me today (just showing
you that the kindness of Jesus can make him come to you
and bless you based on your BELIEF).

This is for you to know that the person seeking men of God
about for impartation does not have any advantage more
than you, he is only acting based on what he believes
because he didn't receive impactation based on WHAT HE
BELIEVED, he received impartation based on WHO HE
Pastor Banjo Ayeka

BELIEVES (which is Jesus), but he received that

impartation through that channel based on what he
believes. Another person can receive the same measure of
impartation through another channel based on what he
believes. Just showing you that all is based on who you
believe.

That is, the Mercy and Grace of God has made the system
of belief so easy that whatever you believe, God comes to
you that way, that is, God has a way of coming to you
through that your belief. That is, WHAT you believe will
not hinder the supernatural blessings that WHO you
believe wants to give to you, it may only hinder the easiest
way he could have come to you since your BELIEF is that
you must do something sacrificial and rigorous before the
supernatural will come, he come to you through what you
believe.

That is, who you believe determines the supernatural that

you received, while what you believe determines the
method through which you receive the supernatural.
 The Unity of Faith

If you believe that it is until you do night prayers before

that demon will stop tormenting you, Jesus will be waiting
for you to do the vigil to answer your prayers through it.
If you also believe that you don't need to conduct a vigil,
that Jesus is already in you, no demon can attack you, you
will also see Jesus working for you through that way.
Christ has chosen to be all things to all his sons. This is
what Jesus said to the centurion man;

*“Go! Let it be done just as you believed it would.” And

his servant was healed at that moment.”*

Matthew 8 vs 13

That is, if you believe I don't need to come to your house

before you get your miracles, let it be to you according to
your Faith. If you also believe I need to come to your
house to lay my hands on the child, let it be to you
according to your Faith. If you think you need to fast for
40 days before you can operate in power, let it be to you
according to your belief. If you also believe that the name
of Jesus is enough, then let it be to you according to your
belief. If you believe all you need is Faith, and you don't
Pastor Banjo Ayeka

need to do anything because Christ has done everything,

let it be to you according to your Faith. You, who does
nothing but BELIEVE Christ has done everything, will get
the same result as someone who thinks he needs to fast for
40 days dry.

Jesus has chosen to meet you through your beliefs. So, the
major subject of power or whatever you receive is Faith.
Jesus only comes through the things you do because that
is what you believe you must do to get the solution. The
solution is not in that thing you do, the solution is in Jesus.
If you don't believe those things you do will bring a
solution, even though you do it 100 times, you will not get
a solution because it was not done in Faith. So, the error
the church just made is that, it now begins to exalt what
they do and neglect the central message which is Jesus, we
begin to teach what we believe, instead of us teaching who
will believe which is Jesus. Since what we all do to get the
same result differs, everyone begins to think his own
method is the best and the correct method, while others are
 The Unity of Faith

wrong. This is part of the cause of the disunity in the body

of Christ.

Just imagine, the method Jesus used to heal the servant of

the centurion man is not by coming to his house, and you
see this generation saying, you can never receive healing
until Jesus comes into your house(you see my generation
building wrong doctrine on that again), but I have said it
and I am saying it again and I will continue to say it that,
'none of us on earth in this Kingdom of light gets
supernatural results because we do anything right.'

*We all get whatever supernatural result and manifestation

you see in us because Christ did everything right.*

So, the message is not the principles we apply, the

message is not the methods we follow, the message is the
method Christ used on the cross. Christ only by his mercy
chooses to come to us through what we claim we do to get
results. Meaning, if we don't do that thing, we will still get
that same result because it is not about you, it is about God
and His agenda on earth. God didn't give you the healing
anointing because he loves you, he gave it to you because
Pastor Banjo Ayeka

he loves the sick; God didn't give me the writing anointing

because he loves me, he gave it to me freely because he
loves the readers; God didn't you an evangelistic anointing
because he loves you, he gave it to you because he loves
the sinners. So, don't see yourself as something in this
kingdom because you are a mere man like others, the
supernatural that comes to your life is based on who you
believe, while the method through which it comes is based
on what you believe.

*It is a different operation, but the same God.*

“And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same

God which worketh all in all.”

1 Corinthians 12:6

Meaning, God doesn't work through one operation.

Operation simply means the method you use, the process
you pass, and the principles you apply in getting results.
God now says, we have different operations, that is, we
have different ways of doing the same thing, different
ways of applying something to get the same result. So, the
 The Unity of Faith

error of we ministers is not in what we do to get results,

but believing and teaching that as the only method
everyone must do to get the same result is heresy. Saying
no one can get the results you got unless they do what you
did is pure heresy. The only thing that doesn't have
different methods of achieving it is salvation. Asides from
salvation, there are many operations in God to get the same
supernatural result and manifestation, but it is one God.
'The message is not in the different operations, the
message is in the one God.'

So, the question is 'what do you believe?'

If you believe a 1-day fasting is all you need to solve the

problem, and another person believes he must go on a 21-
day fasting, the fact is that both of you will get the same
result because it is not according to your acts that God
responds, it is according to your Faith. So, the results don't
come based on what you believe and do, the results come
based on who we both believed, in the person of JESUS
and what he has done.
Pastor Banjo Ayeka

So, who we believe only passes through what we believe

to answer our prayer. That is why, even though what we
believe is not the same, once who we believe is the same,
we can get the same result.

Hence, the question is 'do you believe in Jesus?'

If yes, that is all that matters to get any supernatural

results. If we all take our eyes off the operation and focus
on the one God, we will be in unity in the body of Christ,
but if we take our eyes off the one God and focus on the
different operations, we will keep on fighting and waging
war with the scripture with ourselves in the body of Christ.
