Time-Out with God

By Revd 'Remi Tejumola

Shalom! Jesus gave us the second commandment, "Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself" (Matthew 22:39).

The first commandment is for us to love God with all that we've got, and the second one commands us to love our neighbour. This second commandment came from the One we loved with everything in us.

Jesus said, "If ye love me, keep my commandments" (John 14:15).

Our obedience to the two God-given commandments proves that we truly love Him.

Each one of us should create time to spend in God's presence and fellowship with Him on a regular and daily basis. I believe that is the best kind of prayer there is - fellowshiping with the Almighty God.

To many people, having a prayer life meant asking God for what you need and for what you want. To them, that's about all they care for. They don't think about having time-out with God, or time-out with Jesus, or time-out with the Holy Spirit.

Here I am talking about time you spend having conversations with, and worshipping any or all the members of the triune Godhead.

Have you ever had such a time when you're not asking God for things, but just praising, worshipping and loving on Him? You should start doing it one of these days - like today. You may experience something like this:

Exodus 24: 10
10 And they saw the God of Israel: and there was under his feet as it were a paved work of a sapphire stone, and as it were the body of heaven in his clearness.

Moses, Aaron and 70 of the elders of Israel, some of their nobles with their children were there when God revealed His presence. It was a time of fellowship. Go and do likewise.

The second commandment instruct us to love our neighbour. It means caring for them and also spending time with them. It is like saying, Time-out with your neighbour. This speaks also about friendliness.

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...

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...

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...
