Re-visiting Faith #1

By Revd 'Remi Tejumola

Shalom! Let's revisit the subject of faith today because it's necessary.

The Bible says, "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen" (Hebrews 11:1).

It is very important for you to have an understanding of how faith works. Your victory is dependent on this.

1. Faith is a product of the Word of God. The Bible says, "So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God" (Romans 10:17). It doesn't come any other way.

Hearing the Word of God preached or taught in certain areas builds faith in the hearer along those lines. Faith does not come by prayer, laying on of hands, mantle nor by the anointing oil. It comes by hearing God's Word.

When your understanding on the subject is enhanced through hearing the Word, you'll then begin to live by faith.

When faith prays, it considers that he has the answer to his prayer before actual sighting. Faith calls things which be not as though they were so that they will become what it desires to have, and this is what God expects us to do every time.

God requires that we have and exercise faith when we come to Him. 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).

You should aim, as a person, to pray and expect results to your prayer. You should be tired of praying without seeing results. God is not pleased with that kind of prayer at all. Pray and see results. Give tithe and the different kinds of offerings, and receive your promised harvest. God gets pleased when this happens.

We'll continue in the next posting. God bless.

The Holy Spirit Moves 4

By Revd 'Remi Tejumola Shalom! The works of the Holy Spirit varies, no one knows it all. But it's so exciting when one finds out about them. I was part of the Faith Clinic team that travelled with Dr. I. K. U. Ibeneme to minister at a campmeeting, December 1985. It was a deliverance session with the church on the outskirt of Lagos State. Our method of ministry was to ask individuals what problem they have, and we minister accordingly. After I had prayed with several people, it came to the turn of a brother. I went thru the normal process of our ministration and he stuttered and said, 'I am a stammerer'. I was flabbergasted because at that moment I didn't know what to do. But I just said, 'In Jesus' name, I plead the blood. Be healed!' and I took off to another place. During the testimony time, the brother said in very clear words, 'You know me. . . ' and the place became wild with excitement and shouts of 'Hallelujah!' rended the air!...

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. ...

Greetings

Hi there, friend! A happy new month to you. Usually, I greet my friends or acquaintances this way, "H.appy New Year" even if the last time I saw them was just a week ago. Just a funny greeting. The exciting ministry times still continues. I have just ended a whole month ministry time with the Believers' Fellowship in Ibadan here. So many people were blessed during the course of the meeting. I don't have pictures here because I misplaced my digi-cam. My Holy Ghost Miracle Service is now what we are preparing for between now and October. It's going to be a two-day event, three services - two evenings and one morning Life Seminar. We are preparing to use a church's venue here in Ibadan. I lost my mother-in-law just two days ago and she's going to be buried next week Saturday. Her own mum is still alive. She was a good mother to all her children, including me. So we plan to give her a beffiting funeral at Owo Town, Ondo State. A friend sent me an e-mail and I ...
