Dynamic Scriptures 9

By Revd 'Remi Tejumola

Shalom! Following up on the last posting, I want to spend more time on the word 'desire'. Right now I am relating it to prayer, especially where Jesus used the word in Mark 11: 24, "Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them" (Mark 11:24). "What things so ever ye desire..." means that you need to be very specific when you say you want God to do anything for you. As I explained in my last post, your desire is a hot pursuit for something and will not accept "No" for an answer. So you better get specific.

Many years ago when Pastor Victor Amosun was courting his wife, he found out that her family house was plagued with mice. Specifically, he ordered that the place be rid of all mice and the next time he was in that house it was reported that was the last time that they saw any mouse.

Learn to be specific. At the least, God wanted you to be. He has nothing to work with in your behalf when you're not specific. Even God's promise to us is quite specific.

Specifically, Joshua commanded that the sun and the moon should stand still till Israel won the battle, and it happened as he ordered. Jesus said to the fig tree, "... No man eat fruit of thee hereafter for ever" and the tree dried up from the roots (Mark 11:14). They expressed their specific desires verbally in faith and it came to pass. Just think about this, God wants you to have exactly what you desire.

Of course, this is predicated on two conditions: Jesus said, 1. If you abide in Me, and 2. My words abide in you, 3. ye shall ask what you will, and 4. it shall be done unto you.
(John 15: 7).

It's so simple. God bless you.

Hope, And Then Have Faith in God!

By Revd 'Remi Tejumola Shalom! There is a clear difference between hope and faith. Hope cannot achieve anything without faith, and faith has nothing to recieve without hope. Hope expects and faith recieves. One of hope's definition is 'eager yearning'. Hope dreams and will keep you smiling, but achieve nothing more than that. Hope is a picture of the things you want to have. Faith, on the other hand, does not expect anything. It is a reciever. Faith takes the unrealities of hope and brings them into the realm of reality. "Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen" (Hebrews 11: 1). It's just as if hope has been there waiting and achieving nothing untill faith arrived and grabbed hope and bring into reality what hope dreamt about. Now listen up, faith doesn't just come. Faith is produced through the knowledge of the Word of God that you've repeatedly heard (Romans 10: 17). Many times you don't have to hear God...

The Holy Spirit Moves 6

By Revd 'Remi Tejumola Shalom! The faith realm is God's realm. It is Jesus realm, and it is the realm of the Holy Spirit. Even all believers in Jesus Christ belongs in that realm. If you are a born-again Christian, this is your realm. You're a creature of faith. 1 John 5: 4 For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. I want you to understand that victory is always attached to faith. When you get into faith you have entered into the realm of victory in whatever area it is where you're standing on God's Word. The realm of faith is filled with unlimited possibilities. If you come to think of it, you will realize that every step into faith is a step into divine creativity. In April 1994, I went to the UCH to fellowship with the Praise Temple which was founded by a friend, Dr. Sola Fola-Alade. It was a church which consisted mainly of medical students. As result of this they have to set up new ...

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!...
