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 5

By Revd 'Remi Tejumola Shalom! One major lesson that I began to learn as a born-again Christian is the subject of faith, and I am still learning it after 24years. I found out that if a Christian is ignorant of this subject, he will lead a lopsided life. Things will be very difficult for him in this life. The Bible says, "The just shall live by his faith" (Habakuk 2: 4). God works with those who have learnt and are living and walking by faith. The Bible says, "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" (Hebrews 11: 6). So faith is a must for those that would walk with God. In Mark 11: 22-24, the Bible says, "And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God. For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that tho...

Greetings

Hi there, friend! A happy new month to you. Usually, I greet my friends or acquaintances this way, "H.appy New Year" even if the last time I saw them was just a week ago. Just a funny greeting. The exciting ministry times still continues. I have just ended a whole month ministry time with the Believers' Fellowship in Ibadan here. So many people were blessed during the course of the meeting. I don't have pictures here because I misplaced my digi-cam. My Holy Ghost Miracle Service is now what we are preparing for between now and October. It's going to be a two-day event, three services - two evenings and one morning Life Seminar. We are preparing to use a church's venue here in Ibadan. I lost my mother-in-law just two days ago and she's going to be buried next week Saturday. Her own mum is still alive. She was a good mother to all her children, including me. So we plan to give her a beffiting funeral at Owo Town, Ondo State. A friend sent me an e-mail and I ...
