Faith Scope

By Revd 'Remi Tejumola

Shalom!

"... the doctrine of ... the foundation ... of faith toward God," (Hebrews 6:1).

Notice that today's emphasis and focus is on faith towards God. Every faith the Bible speaks about is in relation to God. When the Bible says that God has dealt to every man the measure of faith, have you ever wondered how? (Romans 12: 3).

First, understand that every man in the above verse is talking about every Christian and not just every and not all human beings. Faith is a product of God's Word preached (Romans 10: 17).

When the Gospel is preached, that's when God dealt the measure of faith to everyone that heard it. This is the faith that connects us to God - faith in the Son of God, Jesus Christ (John 3: 16).

1. This faith gave us eternal life when we got born-again and we became God's children.
2. This faith gave us the platform to lead a holy life.
3. This faith gave us a hedge over the devil and his evil spirits.
4. This faith became the means to have all our needs met by God.
5. We got filled with the Spirit of the Most High God through this faith.
6. We enter into the supernatural realm where God lives through this faith in Him (John 1: 12).
7. We are able to go through life with certainty that can only come through faith in God Who will see us through.
8. We can recieve our healing and other miracles through this faith.

There's no limit to the things we can achieve through this faith in God. But it has to be a combination of Faith and Wisdom. I will deal with these two in my next posting.

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...
