The Blood of Jesus

By Revd 'Remi Tejumola

The precious blood of Jesus, which He shed on the cross at Calvary, got us redemption from sin and its consequences. I'm talking about the blood of the Son of the Almighty God.

The blood of animals were acceptable for the atonement of men's sins under the Old Covenant, at least once a year. It was part of the statutes of the Law then.

Leviticus 17: 11
11 For the life of the flesh is in the blood . . . for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul.

Under the Old Covenant the blood of animals cover men's sins for a year. Under the New Covenant, the blood of the Son of God remit our sins - blotted them out of existence. Nothing else can do that.

It may seem as if forgiveness of sins just require repentance from sin. If it were so Jesus blood would not need to be shed. But it's not cheap at all. The blood of the Son of God had to be shed to have it. It was by the blood of Jesus that satan was defeated. That's why he cannot stand the sight of His blood.

Today, in Jesus name, I plead the blood of the Son of God, Jesus Christ over you and all that concerns you. I pray that you will recieve the full benefits that is in His blood, all round.

1 Peter 1: 18-19
18 Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers;
19 But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot.

Blood of animals are corruptible, but Jesus blood is incorruptible. There is no other kind of sacrifice of blood valid before God since Jesus blood was shed. Today, the blood of animals and human blood are unacceptable before God as a means of appeasement. All that God requires of anyone who wants to make peace with Him is confession of sin, repentance from the same and confessing Jesus as Lord, believing that He suffered, died for their sins and He was raised from the dead for their sake: "But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed" (Romans 10: 8-11). All that God requires is the blood of Jesus. It is enough for you. God bless.

Re-visiting Faith #5

By Revd 'Remi Tejumola Shalom! One can spend a whole lifetime studying the subject of faith and one will continue to learn so many sides that are involved therein. Let's look at our main text again: Hebrews 11: 6 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. Diligence is an attribute and attitude of faith. There is a kind of seriousness that is attached to the Bible kind of faith which is why God demands diligence in the seeker. The dictionary defines the word "diligence" as "careful and conscientious" and the word "careful" as "paying close attention". The word "conscientious" is defined "been diligent with one's work" . I don't think this can be overly emphasised since it is the very basis and fabric of our relationship with the Most High God. You can just imagine why this faith business ...

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...

All Consuming Desire #5

By Revd 'Remi Tejumola Jesus Christ, our Lord and Saviour really gave us the definition of faith in Mark 11:23-24. He showed us exactly what we need to do. So everytime we take the faith stand, what we believe matters. We can't say after we've prayed the prayer of faith, "I am expecting such and such from God." To do that is to get out of faith which will abort our prayer. You must believe that you have recieved what you asked for in prayer WHEN YOU PRAY, and then it will manifest. But if you want to wait untill you see it manifest, you will never get to see it. This is where B.U.S.H. comes in. Believe you have recieved Untill Something Happens (untill it manifest). Once you believe you have recieved, stay put in that mode - regardless of how you feel or what you've not seen or felt. Just believe it's done for you already. That's what will cause the manifestation! Jesus said, "Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, ...
