The Holy Spirit Baptism

By Revd 'Remi Tejumola`

Hi, there! How's life with you? Hope all things are going in the right direction for you today, and all your dogs are barking.
Today, I felt like suspending my teaching on the Holy Spirit in order to deal with the Holy Spirit Baptism aspect. Most times, whenever I teach on the Holy Spirit, most people only think that I teach about the Baptism of the Holy Spirit, but that's hardly the case. I usually teach about the personality, the works and the gifts of the Holy Spirit.
I want you to know and understand that God wants all human beings baptised in the Holy Spirit. God expressed this desire when He spoke through the Prophet Joel [Joel 2: 28]. He said, "Afterwards, I will pour my Spirit upon all flesh" and Peter quoted the same thing when he apoke on that Pentecost day when the Holy Spirit was poured out on the 120 believers that were together at the upper room in Jerusalem. He said, quoting from Joel, "In the last days, saith God, I will pour out My Spirit upon all flesh".

1. God desires that you'll be filled with the Holy Spirit {and I don't care who you are}.

2. God has already provided the Holy Spirit for us here on the earth and all we need to do is receive Him (Acts 2: 38).

3. It is only the person who receives Jesus as Lord and Saviour that CAN RECIEVE the GIFT of the Holy Spirit - reason being that, sinners cannot recieve such a holy Person, but sinners whose sins are forgiven through faith in Jesus can.

Re-visiting Faith #5

By Revd 'Remi Tejumola Shalom! One can spend a whole lifetime studying the subject of faith and one will continue to learn so many sides that are involved therein. Let's look at our main text again: Hebrews 11: 6 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. Diligence is an attribute and attitude of faith. There is a kind of seriousness that is attached to the Bible kind of faith which is why God demands diligence in the seeker. The dictionary defines the word "diligence" as "careful and conscientious" and the word "careful" as "paying close attention". The word "conscientious" is defined "been diligent with one's work" . I don't think this can be overly emphasised since it is the very basis and fabric of our relationship with the Most High God. You can just imagine why this faith business ...

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...

All Consuming Desire #5

By Revd 'Remi Tejumola Jesus Christ, our Lord and Saviour really gave us the definition of faith in Mark 11:23-24. He showed us exactly what we need to do. So everytime we take the faith stand, what we believe matters. We can't say after we've prayed the prayer of faith, "I am expecting such and such from God." To do that is to get out of faith which will abort our prayer. You must believe that you have recieved what you asked for in prayer WHEN YOU PRAY, and then it will manifest. But if you want to wait untill you see it manifest, you will never get to see it. This is where B.U.S.H. comes in. Believe you have recieved Untill Something Happens (untill it manifest). Once you believe you have recieved, stay put in that mode - regardless of how you feel or what you've not seen or felt. Just believe it's done for you already. That's what will cause the manifestation! Jesus said, "Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, ...
