The Importance Of Prayer [Part 3]

By Revd 'Remi Tejumola

The reason why some people do not have the things they desire to have is because they have never asked God for them. You may ask, "Really?" Yes, it's true! What about you? If you knew that God would give you anything you ask Him for everytime you pray, won't you ask Him for everything? I sure will.

Jesus had to ask His disciples to ask the Father God for things. Until He told them, they did not realise they could, and that's the idea behind these series of teaching on prayer: to let you know that you can and should ask God for all the things you want and all the things you need. Jesus said in John 16: 23-24: "And in that day ye shall ask me nothing, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it (to) you. Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall recieve, that your joy may be full." Can you believe this is in the Bible?

If you are observant you would have seen so many believers' faces very sad. You want to know why. They have unmet needs. They are struggling in order to have those needs met. Imagine if they prayed to God our Father and asked for those needs to be met, and they are, their hearts will be full of joy and gratitude to God, and their faces will be beaming with bright smiles. Each time you meet with them you would think they must have won a million dollars!

Every child of God have the God-given right to ask the Father God for all the things they need and to expect all those needs and wants divinely provided. Whether it is spiritual or physical or material, you can and should ask God for them and watch how He will meet those needs.

I want to suggest to you to make it a daily habit from now on to ask God for all the things you want and all the things you need or what did you think your prayer life should be about - religion? No way! My friend start praying!

In my next posting I will show you some things you need to know that will ensure your prayers are answered. Till then, KEEP PRAYING! God bless.

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...

Dynamic Scriptures 10

By Revd 'Remi Tejumola Shalom! What you believe when you pray and afterwards matter. What you believe determines whether or not you ever get hold of what you desired of God. Whenever you pray and ask God for anything, God wants you to believe that you have recieved whatever it is you asked for. If you asked God for a cat, believe you have recieved the cat and you will get it. Notice He didn't say you should believe that God is going to bring it, but that you have received it, and you have it now by faith. This is when results come. But if after praying, and you didn't see any difference, you then say, 'I don't think my prayer is answered' , you have just aborted your own prayer. As soon as Jesus cursed the fig tree, He turned around and went His own way. He didn't bother to wait and see whether any change has occurred, "And Jesus answered and said unto it, No man eat fruit of thee hereafter for ever. And his disciples heard it" (Mark 11:14). You c...

The Holy Spirit Moves 1

By Revd 'Remi Tejumola Good day to you friend. Today, I want to share some of the things the Holy Spirit had done in my ministry in retrospect. This is meant to inspire you. God can use any believer in Christ to do these things and more. In fact Jesus puts it this way: John 14: 12-14 12 ¶ Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father. 13 And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14 If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it. Sometime, some people left the impression that the things that God used them to do is exclusive to them , but that is not really true. I know this is a strong statement, but it can never be stronger than what Jesus Christ, the Son of God, said above in John 14: 12. There is nothing that God had used someone else to do that He cannot use you to do - absolutely NOTHING! In fact, i...
