Lessons From The Book Of Chronicles 9

By Revd 'Remi Tejumola

Shalom! Something led to the visitation that Solomon had from God. He had learnt some things from his father, King David, which worked for him at this time in particular. Let's take a look at the things:

2 Chronicles 1: 6-7
6 And Solomon went up thither to the brasen altar before the LORD, which was at the tabernacle of the congregation, and offered a thousand burnt offerings upon it.
7 In that night did God appear unto Solomon, and said unto him, Ask what I shall give thee.

Solomon did what no other king of Israel had ever done and recieved a visitation of God that transformed his life.

The tabernacle which he built was according to will of God which was revealed to his father, King David, that his son, Solomon would build it. With utmost zeal and dedication he got it built. He also had some virtues working for him:

1. He had reverence for God.
2. He had learnt to give God full devotion.
3. He went beyond the conventional way to worship God. He offered a thousand burnt offering to God.

He had these virtues and did these wonderful things not expecting God to respond. He just did it, period! But he did caught God's attention, and He came to him, and gave him a blank cheque to fill whatever he so desired.

Going the extra-mile paid off for him. I think it's a wise thing for us to always have the heart to do more than God required of us. At the same time, we must only do whatever God has instructed us to do. Once we have clear cut instructions, we're to follow through with them.

A Holy Ghost Miracle Service is scheduled to hold at St. Annes Church, Molete, Ibadan, in collaboration with the J. O. Y. Fellowship on the 29th of this month by 5pm. If you can make it, be there.

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...

Time Element in Faith

By Revd 'Remi Tejumola Shalom! There is an element of time involved in the principle of faith. Misunderstanding this important element will cause a failure of faith. The Bible says, "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen" (Hebrews 11:1). When should one take the step of faith? (Now!) Paul said, "Now faith is . . . the evidence of things not seen". When you are standing by faith, what you're believing God for is neither seen nor felt. You're just standing in faith for it - calling those things which be not as though they were. If you've asked God for a car, by faith you say, 'I believe that I have my car now.' This is neither pretence nor a lie. You really must believe this way. You don't have to see it first or feel it before you believe it. In fact, we do not need to look for any sign or hear a voice to know our prayers are heard. Once we pray, God wants us to believe that the need is met NOW WHE...

Faith's Place

By Revd 'Remi Tejumola Shalom! God's face always shine with pleasure when He finds people who took Him at His Word - those who live by faith. Hebrews 11: 5-6 5 By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God. 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. God is always excited when His people exercises faith in Him by taking Him at His Word. During Jesus earthly ministry, He displayed His joy each time He found such people: Luke 7: 7-9 7 Wherefore neither thought I myself worthy to come unto thee: but say in a word, and my servant shall be healed. 8 For I also am a man set under authority, having under me soldiers, and I say unto one, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it. ...
