Faith & Patience

By Revd 'Remi Tejumola

Shalom! Focussing on the subject of faith could save lives. I know people need to know and understand the subject as much as possible. Let's look over a few Bible passages:

Habakuk 2: 4
4 Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the just shall live by his faith.

The just or the righteous one shall live by faith. This is talking about you as a Christian. You can only live by faith - faith in the Word of God.

A question is asked, 'How long do I have to wait when I am standing in faith for something?' The answer is, AS LONG AS NECESSARY. Just make sure you're doing what God told you to do in His Word. But don't be waiting, thinking, WHEN WILL GOD DO THIS THING, IT'S TAKING TOO LONG A TIME!' If you're thinking this way you have negated your faith because you're supposed to have believed you recieved what you asked for when you prayed. If you are standing in faith, you will not be in haste. Check out the latter part of the next verse:


Isaiah 28: 16
16 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste.

The Good News Bible renders the same verse this way, '... the faith that is firm is also patient'. Don't allow yourself to get into a rush when you're standing in faith. Why? God is never late, and He won't be late. The Bible says, "For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise" (Hebrews 10: 36). If you're really persuaded that God will come through for you, come hell, come high water, you'll be patient and then, because of such an attitude, God will make sure you have whatever it is you believed Him for. Glory!

See you next time. 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...

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 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...
