Lessons From the Book of Chronicles 1

By Revd 'Remi Tejumola

Shalom! For years I have thought of making use of some of the lessons from the book of Chronicles to teach whosoever is interested. Here it is: "And he sought God in the days of Zechariah, who had understanding in the visions of God: and as long as he sought the LORD, God made him to prosper" (2 Chronicles 26:5). The last two phrases is my text, '... as long as he sought the Lord, God made him to prosper'.

Do you want to prosper? Are you interested in doing well in life? If you are interested, do you know what is meant by seeking the Lord? Don't worry I'll spell it out for you now.

1. Seeking the Lord means praying and spending time in God's presence in order to know Him.

2. Spending time in God's Word in order to know His will about everything you want to do.

3. It also mean that you don't take God for granted, but you seek God's face regarding every issue of your life in order for Him to give you direction.

4. Seeking Him also mean that it's only Him that you worship, and no other God. You only bow to Him, the Most High God. The apostle Paul puts it this way, "... he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him" (Hebrews 11:6).

Those who gets involved in such things as listed above will prosper. Read the following Bible passages: Matthew 6: 33; Psalm 1: 1-6; Joshua 1: 8; Proverbs 4: 20-22; Matthew 4: 4 & John 15: 1-7.

As long as YOU seek the Lord, He will cause you to prosper. You will prosper during the time you spent seeking the LORD.

Till next posting, God bless.

Time Element in Faith

By Revd 'Remi Tejumola Shalom! There is an element of time involved in the principle of faith. Misunderstanding this important element will cause a failure of faith. The Bible says, "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen" (Hebrews 11:1). When should one take the step of faith? (Now!) Paul said, "Now faith is . . . the evidence of things not seen". When you are standing by faith, what you're believing God for is neither seen nor felt. You're just standing in faith for it - calling those things which be not as though they were. If you've asked God for a car, by faith you say, 'I believe that I have my car now.' This is neither pretence nor a lie. You really must believe this way. You don't have to see it first or feel it before you believe it. In fact, we do not need to look for any sign or hear a voice to know our prayers are heard. Once we pray, God wants us to believe that the need is met NOW WHE...

A Soldier Gone To Headquaters

By Revd 'Remi Tejumola Shalom! A senior friend just went home to be with the Lord, PASTOR PATRICK EZEKUDE OBAZE. He was aged 78 years old. I got to know him in 1985 after I became a part of the Faith Clinic which was founded by Rev. (Dr.) I.K.U. Ibeneme of blessed memory. Uncle 'Bobo' Obaze, as was fondly called by Dr. Ibeneme, was one of the numerous workers that the Faith Clinic had in those days in the mid-80s. All the workers came from different churches and ministries, and were of various ages and giftings. In spite of his age, He was simple and humble. He was easy to get along with, and very kind. He loved Jesus and was as excited about Him as anyone of us was who were much younger than he was. Like other workers of the ministry he was involved in deliverance ministrations. He often traveled with Dr. Ibeneme for outside ministrations. He also had a special love to minister the Holy Ghost baptism. He had great success in this area of ministry. I know it because I was a...

Faith's Place

By Revd 'Remi Tejumola Shalom! God's face always shine with pleasure when He finds people who took Him at His Word - those who live by faith. Hebrews 11: 5-6 5 By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God. 6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. God is always excited when His people exercises faith in Him by taking Him at His Word. During Jesus earthly ministry, He displayed His joy each time He found such people: Luke 7: 7-9 7 Wherefore neither thought I myself worthy to come unto thee: but say in a word, and my servant shall be healed. 8 For I also am a man set under authority, having under me soldiers, and I say unto one, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it. ...
