Lessons From the Book of Chronicles 1

By Revd 'Remi Tejumola

Shalom! For years I have thought of making use of some of the lessons from the book of Chronicles to teach whosoever is interested. Here it is: "And he sought God in the days of Zechariah, who had understanding in the visions of God: and as long as he sought the LORD, God made him to prosper" (2 Chronicles 26:5). The last two phrases is my text, '... as long as he sought the Lord, God made him to prosper'.

Do you want to prosper? Are you interested in doing well in life? If you are interested, do you know what is meant by seeking the Lord? Don't worry I'll spell it out for you now.

1. Seeking the Lord means praying and spending time in God's presence in order to know Him.

2. Spending time in God's Word in order to know His will about everything you want to do.

3. It also mean that you don't take God for granted, but you seek God's face regarding every issue of your life in order for Him to give you direction.

4. Seeking Him also mean that it's only Him that you worship, and no other God. You only bow to Him, the Most High God. The apostle Paul puts it this way, "... he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him" (Hebrews 11:6).

Those who gets involved in such things as listed above will prosper. Read the following Bible passages: Matthew 6: 33; Psalm 1: 1-6; Joshua 1: 8; Proverbs 4: 20-22; Matthew 4: 4 & John 15: 1-7.

As long as YOU seek the Lord, He will cause you to prosper. You will prosper during the time you spent seeking the LORD.

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...

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 ...

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, ...
