Close to Glory 2010 (Ministry Update)

By Revd 'Remi Tejumola

Shalom! The theme of my ministry for 2010 is Close to Glory! Of course, we will be close to glory because for one thing Jesus may come back for us next year, if by the end of this year He hasn't come. This does not mean that I am predicting that Jesus will come next year. No, I just want us to be conscious of the fact that He will appear without a particular prior notice.

On the other hand we are going to see greater manifestation of the power of the Holy Spirit in our meetings. The Bible says, "The glory of this latter house shall be greater than of the former, saith the LORD of hosts: and in this place will I give peace, saith the LORD of hosts" (Haggai 2: 9). In a normal course of things, the scale of the manifestation of the power of the Holy Spirit should be increasing on a daily basis untill the very last day. But due to human nature and decisions, the scale has been going up and down since inception, and that's changing!

Our programmes will be a lot more impact-full. You don't want to miss such meetings for anything whatsoever. The Word of the Lord, as usual will be direct. The gifts of the Spirit will be more in manifestation too. The anointing, oh mine, will be a lot more profound also.

The reason for this? We're digging deeper than we ever did before into God's spiritual things - His Word and prayer. His Word to saturate us, prayer to get us more immersed into the things of the Holy Spirit, and separation more into the things of God other than the things of this world. (Not getting too entangled with worldly affairs), yet keeping the faith and responsibility to the people who are important to us by not neglecting them.

Are you with me there?

Let's prepare to meet the Lord so that when He comes we will be found truly waiting for Him the way He expects.

Heaven and hell are real places. The coming of Jesus will finalise a lot of things. Whatever decision you need to make before He comes will become an established one, because one way or the other, your indecision will turn out to be your decision. Make sure that your portion in the affair will be good. The Apostle John puts it this way, "Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. And every man that hath this hope purifies himself, even as He is pure" (1 John 3: 2-3).

Let's do just that, ok?

Till next posting, 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...
