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.

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, ...
