Lessons From the Book of Chronicles 4

By Revd 'Remi Tejumola

Shalom! What actually did King Uzziah do that cost him the help of God which he had enjoyed for so many years? The Bible says, "But when he was strong, his heart was lifted up to his destruction" (2 Chronicles 26: 16), that is, when he became full of himself (meaning: when his successes got to his head), he transgressed against God. What was the transgression? Let's see what the transgression was:

2 Chronicles 26: 18
18 And they withstood Uzziah the king, and said unto him, It appertaineth not unto thee, Uzziah, to burn incense unto the LORD, but to the priests the sons of Aaron, that are consecrated to burn incense: go out of the sanctuary; for thou hast trespassed; neither shall it be for thine honour from the LORD God.

One of the things that you should be aware of is that God works with rules. The earlier you realise this, the better for you. There are things God meant for just you, and there are things meant just for others to do. As long as you keep to these rules you're ok.

Uzziah was only a king, not a king and priest like David was. It was this rule he violated when pride got into him. Imagine this, what he never once attempted for so many years while he was seeking God, when he became proud, he did it. That was the transgression. This was the kind of problem that the Prophet of God, William Braham, had in the 60s, and as a result recieved God's judgement. It is quite dangerous to become selfwilled where God is concerned. God judged him and he died. God judged King Uzziah, and he died leprous.

Let the wisdom of God and your humilty be in place till the end of your life. Recognise your place and stay there. Do not barge into fields that are not yours. Stay within your calling and giftings, and don't intrude into offices which God has not called you into. It could cost you your life.

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...

Whatever Happened To Personal Evangelism

Dear Friend, Good day to you. I wish to pass on to you today a message I have had in my inbox for almost 3years now as a kind of reminder to our purpose as the body of Christ. It is an article by Lee Grady, the editor of Charisma Magazine . Please read. God bless. -Revd 'Remi Tejumola   Whatever Happened to Personal Evangelism? We are not anointed by the Holy Spirit simply to have visions or feel spiritual goose bumps. It's time for us to re-embrace soul-winning.   My heart sank two weeks ago when I heard that Dr. D. James Kennedy had died at age 76 of complications from an earlier heart attack. Knowing that Jerry Falwell died in May, and considering that Billy Graham is not in good health, I wondered who could possibly replace these stalwart Christian statesmen.   The congenial Kennedy, who usually wore an austere clerical robe when he preached on his popular television broadcast, founded Coral Ridge Presbyterian Church in Fort Lauderdale 48 years ago. Yet ...

The Healing Presence #3

Revd 'Remi Tejumola Romans 8:11 11 But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you. There are a lot of truths embedded in this one verse, and I am not about to unveil all of them in this series of lessons. Just have this Word in mind, from the lips of Jesus, "And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free" (John 8:32). The condition in our main text (Romans 8:11) is predicated upon the dwelling presence of the Holy Spirit in the born-again Christian's life. In some measure, the power of the indwelling Spirit is pulsating thru the veins of every child of God, whether or not he realises it. God, our Father, by the Holy Spirit, is quickening or injecting life into our physical body. We need to be aware of this. In 1979, at a Kenneth Copeland's meeting, as Dr. Kenneth E. Hagin was preaching, his photographer took a...
