The 2nd Commandment

By Revd 'Remi Tejumola

Shalom! Jesus gave us this second commandment, "Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself" (Matthew 22:39). It means that you should do to your neighbour what you would do for number one - yourself.

How would you like to be treated by others? Treat others that same way. Respect others and be nice to them. Care about the welfare of those around you. Anyone close to you is your neighbour.

Your neighbour also is that person in need. If you were badly in need, what kind of wish would you have at the time. (I would hope that somebody somewhere would just come and bale me out). So put yourself in a needy person's place. Jesus said, "And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise. For if ye love them which love you, what thank have ye? for sinners also love those that love them" (Luke 6:31-32). In other words, don't be choosy when it comes to whom you love. Love everybody and do good to them the way you expected them to treat you.

The best way to love your neighbour is to witness to him the Gospel of Jesus. Be concerned about people's eternal state. Jesus commissioned us to preach the Gospel to every creature. No one is left out of this commission - no one. Every Christian have this responsibily. In fact, Jesus went as far as to say to us, "Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use, and persecute you" (Matthew 5: 44).

Your drivers, house-helps, shop assistants, gatemen and security guards are also your neighbours. When you're in the market place, everyone there is your neighbour. You must try and reachout to them. It is your responsiblity to do so just because God commanded us to.

What are you gonna do about this and when? You need to think fast about it. Jesus is waiting on us to obey this commandment.

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...

Dynamic Scriptures 10

By Revd 'Remi Tejumola Shalom! What you believe when you pray and afterwards matter. What you believe determines whether or not you ever get hold of what you desired of God. Whenever you pray and ask God for anything, God wants you to believe that you have recieved whatever it is you asked for. If you asked God for a cat, believe you have recieved the cat and you will get it. Notice He didn't say you should believe that God is going to bring it, but that you have received it, and you have it now by faith. This is when results come. But if after praying, and you didn't see any difference, you then say, 'I don't think my prayer is answered' , you have just aborted your own prayer. As soon as Jesus cursed the fig tree, He turned around and went His own way. He didn't bother to wait and see whether any change has occurred, "And Jesus answered and said unto it, No man eat fruit of thee hereafter for ever. And his disciples heard it" (Mark 11:14). You c...

The Holy Spirit Moves 1

By Revd 'Remi Tejumola Good day to you friend. Today, I want to share some of the things the Holy Spirit had done in my ministry in retrospect. This is meant to inspire you. God can use any believer in Christ to do these things and more. In fact Jesus puts it this way: John 14: 12-14 12 ¶ Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father. 13 And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14 If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it. Sometime, some people left the impression that the things that God used them to do is exclusive to them , but that is not really true. I know this is a strong statement, but it can never be stronger than what Jesus Christ, the Son of God, said above in John 14: 12. There is nothing that God had used someone else to do that He cannot use you to do - absolutely NOTHING! In fact, i...
