Faith and Wisdom 2

By Revd 'Remi Tejumola

Shalom! A number of years ago I attempted to act on Mark 11: 24, but did it without realising that I wasn't taking the proper process for the things I required from God. I actually did exactly what the Word of God says I should do and it didn't work! See again what Jesus said:

Mark 11: 24
24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.

I had what I desired and I prayed according to this Word and didn't get it because what I asked for required a process. I wanted to go to Rhema Bible Training Centre and I used my imagination to settle everything. I believed that they'll supernaturally come up with my name over there, another person will buy the flying ticket for me to use in travelling to the USA.

What was the problem or the problems? I didn't acquire any international passport, visa and other required documents, even the admission letter to the school (I didn't apply for one), but I REALLY BELIEVED! I imagined every thing would be done as I believed. Of course, it didn't work! and I was disappointed. But it wasn't God Who disappointed me. I did. God is faithful.

Wisdom dictates that there are some processes involved in the manifestation of some of the things we may want God to do for us. A person who's trusting God for a university admission must first of all obtain a WAEC School certificate with the necessary credits, go through JAMB and get at least the cut off points and go in for your course at your chosen university.

So, in a lot of things that we pray for, we really need to take appropriate steps to really get what we want. You don't stay at home while believing God for a job without applying for one and putting motion to your feet, no you don't do that! A lot of times we have our own areas of responsibilities in the things we're asking God for. God will never do your part for you. He's only responsible for His own part. Period! Get yours done.

Till next time, 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...

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 and the Will of God

By Revd 'Remi Tejumola Shalom! Where exactly in the prayer of faith can we find the will of God? The will of God means what GOD expects, requires and demands, to be done by you. Paul said in his epistle to the Hebrew Christians, "... ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise" (Hebrews 10:36). It is after you've done the will of God that YOU will experience the fulfillment of the promise. The will of God for you when using Mark 11: 24 is that part where Jesus said, "... when ye pray, believe that you recieve them ..." . Once you miss this part, you would have wasted your time and prayer. The will of God in this verse deals with, 1. The time of your prayer WHEN YOU PRAY, and, 2. What you believe when YOU PRAY. The other important thing about your prayer life that goes with the matter of the will of God has to do with your life. You must be a person of godly character. You must fear God and treat other peo...
