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 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...

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...

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 ...
