Lessons From The Book Of Chronicles 10

By Revd 'Remi Tejumola

Shalom! May God give us leaders that will execute judgement and justice. Did I hear you say, 'Amen!' I do hope you did.

One of the key factors that made Denmark the least corrupt nation in the world is because of the kind of people they've had as their leaders. It's not that they don't have corruption in their system, but compared with all other nations their level of corruption is the least. What caught my attention on this issue is what the Bible says about the second king of Israel, King David:

1 Chronicles 18: 14
14 So David reigned over all Israel, and executed judgment and justice among all his people.

From both observation and experience, I've learnt that laws have to be enforced with true justice for us to have any kind of development in this corrupt and chaotic world. People shouldn't be without restraint. Imagine that, the least corrupt country in the world still have a bit of corruption in it. So what is corruption? The word corrupt means 'willing to act dishonestly in return for money, etc' ; 'evil and immoral'.

When a personal computer is said to have corrupted files, it means something bad has happened to the file or it is infected with a computer virus. So either delete the file or you get a powerful enough anti-virus software to clean it up. And may God help you if your anti-virus is also corrupted. If that be the case, you will have to format your PC. Which means all important files will be lost.

This is one of the reasons why things don't work out well in this world - corruption. Once there's an honest repentance from wrong doing by any corrupt leader, and he's still able to keep his office, he will begin to clean up his country's system right from the top and that nation will start enjoying real development.

May God give us real leaders who are righteous and are godly in every good sense of the word in Jesus name. Amen!

Till next posting, God bless.

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...

Your Exposure Matters

By Revd 'Remi Tejumola What kind of knowledge have you been exposed to? What have you fed yourself with? What kind of knowledge have you recieved through your Pastor? Whether you realise it or not, you are influenced and your life is directed in the direction of the kind of mindset that you have, which is largely influenced by the kind of knowledge that you have. What you know and what you're ignorant of affect your life. The kind of Pastor you listen to, and the kind of church you attend affects you. The kind of books, tapes, videos and the kind of friends you keep affects your life. Make no mistake about it, you are what you eat. Jesus puts it this way, "A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh" (Luke 6:45). What you filled your heart with, comes out of your mouth and your life. Your...
