Re-visiting Faith #7b

By Revd 'Remi Tejumola

Shalom! This was the curse that God placed on man:

Genesis 3: 17
17 ... cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life ...

The opposite of multiplication is division, the opposite of addition is subtraction, and the opposite of plus is minus. This may sound elementary to you, but you need to put it into consideration.

The curses God placed on the man and the woman were reversed in Christ Jesus. I think you ought to be rejoicing right now. The pain of the woman at childbirth was multiplied by the curse and redemption through Christ reversed it.

Genesis 3:18-19
18 Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field;
19 In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.

These also are reversed by redemption through Christ. A born-again child of God is not under any of this curses anymore. But if he is ignorant of this reality, he will still suffer unnecessarily.

The curse pronounced here by God has nothing to do with weather, but it does indicate that man's labour will bring in less to harvest. It would be like using elephant power to work and harvesting just enough that can only feed a mouse.

That's the curse redemption has reversed for us men in Christ Jesus just like the women. It now depends on whether or not you believe this. The Bible says, "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen" (Hebrews 11: 1).

If you hope for this, faith will bring it to reality in your life.

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...

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 ...
