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.

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!...

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 6

By Revd 'Remi Tejumola Shalom! The faith realm is God's realm. It is Jesus realm, and it is the realm of the Holy Spirit. Even all believers in Jesus Christ belongs in that realm. If you are a born-again Christian, this is your realm. You're a creature of faith. 1 John 5: 4 For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. I want you to understand that victory is always attached to faith. When you get into faith you have entered into the realm of victory in whatever area it is where you're standing on God's Word. The realm of faith is filled with unlimited possibilities. If you come to think of it, you will realize that every step into faith is a step into divine creativity. In April 1994, I went to the UCH to fellowship with the Praise Temple which was founded by a friend, Dr. Sola Fola-Alade. It was a church which consisted mainly of medical students. As result of this they have to set up new ...
