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.

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...
