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.

Greetings

Hi there, friend! A happy new month to you. Usually, I greet my friends or acquaintances this way, "H.appy New Year" even if the last time I saw them was just a week ago. Just a funny greeting. The exciting ministry times still continues. I have just ended a whole month ministry time with the Believers' Fellowship in Ibadan here. So many people were blessed during the course of the meeting. I don't have pictures here because I misplaced my digi-cam. My Holy Ghost Miracle Service is now what we are preparing for between now and October. It's going to be a two-day event, three services - two evenings and one morning Life Seminar. We are preparing to use a church's venue here in Ibadan. I lost my mother-in-law just two days ago and she's going to be buried next week Saturday. Her own mum is still alive. She was a good mother to all her children, including me. So we plan to give her a beffiting funeral at Owo Town, Ondo State. A friend sent me an e-mail and I ...

Hope, And Then Have Faith in God!

By Revd 'Remi Tejumola Shalom! There is a clear difference between hope and faith. Hope cannot achieve anything without faith, and faith has nothing to recieve without hope. Hope expects and faith recieves. One of hope's definition is 'eager yearning'. Hope dreams and will keep you smiling, but achieve nothing more than that. Hope is a picture of the things you want to have. Faith, on the other hand, does not expect anything. It is a reciever. Faith takes the unrealities of hope and brings them into the realm of reality. "Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen" (Hebrews 11: 1). It's just as if hope has been there waiting and achieving nothing untill faith arrived and grabbed hope and bring into reality what hope dreamt about. Now listen up, faith doesn't just come. Faith is produced through the knowledge of the Word of God that you've repeatedly heard (Romans 10: 17). Many times you don't have to hear God...

The Holy Spirit Moves 5

By Revd 'Remi Tejumola Shalom! One major lesson that I began to learn as a born-again Christian is the subject of faith, and I am still learning it after 24years. I found out that if a Christian is ignorant of this subject, he will lead a lopsided life. Things will be very difficult for him in this life. The Bible says, "The just shall live by his faith" (Habakuk 2: 4). God works with those who have learnt and are living and walking by faith. The Bible says, "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" (Hebrews 11: 6). So faith is a must for those that would walk with God. In Mark 11: 22-24, the Bible says, "And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God. For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that tho...
