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.

The Holy Spirit Moves 4

By Revd 'Remi Tejumola Shalom! The works of the Holy Spirit varies, no one knows it all. But it's so exciting when one finds out about them. I was part of the Faith Clinic team that travelled with Dr. I. K. U. Ibeneme to minister at a campmeeting, December 1985. It was a deliverance session with the church on the outskirt of Lagos State. Our method of ministry was to ask individuals what problem they have, and we minister accordingly. After I had prayed with several people, it came to the turn of a brother. I went thru the normal process of our ministration and he stuttered and said, 'I am a stammerer'. I was flabbergasted because at that moment I didn't know what to do. But I just said, 'In Jesus' name, I plead the blood. Be healed!' and I took off to another place. During the testimony time, the brother said in very clear words, 'You know me. . . ' and the place became wild with excitement and shouts of 'Hallelujah!' rended the air!...

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. ...

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...
