What to do with Children

By Revd 'Remi Tejumola

Shalom! The Bible teaches parents, "Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it" (Proverbs 22:6).

This indicates that, first, parents must prayerfully find out the will of God for their children's individual life, because how can one show a way that one is oblivious of. I do know that some parents are busy getting their children trained the way THEY (Parents) WANT THEM TO GO.

The way they ought to go many times has to do with their God-given giftings, talents and destinies. Parents ought to have these in mind.

The most important time to find out God's plan for their lives is when they are still children and unable to make decisions for themselves.

Sometimes, finding out the way THEY ought to go requires close observation of those children. When they are still little bitty children you will find out the kind of things they love doing.

When you get them toys you will discover which kind of toys they have preference for, and how those toys are treated.

Do not wait untill you think they are old enough for the training. Begin now when they are still very young. This is God's recommended way of doing it. God's way is the best. He guaranteed that when he's old, he will not depart from the way.

Some people brought up their children to be terrorists. They began their children's training even before they started speaking. Once they began speaking they were sent to those schools to be deeply taught about their religion, and most of them grew up strong in it.

If you want godly and successful children, train them to be those things when they are still very young. Remember that the training continues untill they get out from under you to be on their own. It's a life thing and it's the duty of both parents.

Till next posting, God bless.

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 ...

The Holy Spirit Moves 6

By Revd 'Remi Tejumola Shalom! The faith realm is God's realm. It is Jesus realm, and it is the realm of the Holy Spirit. Even all believers in Jesus Christ belongs in that realm. If you are a born-again Christian, this is your realm. You're a creature of faith. 1 John 5: 4 For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. I want you to understand that victory is always attached to faith. When you get into faith you have entered into the realm of victory in whatever area it is where you're standing on God's Word. The realm of faith is filled with unlimited possibilities. If you come to think of it, you will realize that every step into faith is a step into divine creativity. In April 1994, I went to the UCH to fellowship with the Praise Temple which was founded by a friend, Dr. Sola Fola-Alade. It was a church which consisted mainly of medical students. As result of this they have to set up new ...
