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.

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 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 and the Will of God

By Revd 'Remi Tejumola Shalom! Where exactly in the prayer of faith can we find the will of God? The will of God means what GOD expects, requires and demands, to be done by you. Paul said in his epistle to the Hebrew Christians, "... ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise" (Hebrews 10:36). It is after you've done the will of God that YOU will experience the fulfillment of the promise. The will of God for you when using Mark 11: 24 is that part where Jesus said, "... when ye pray, believe that you recieve them ..." . Once you miss this part, you would have wasted your time and prayer. The will of God in this verse deals with, 1. The time of your prayer WHEN YOU PRAY, and, 2. What you believe when YOU PRAY. The other important thing about your prayer life that goes with the matter of the will of God has to do with your life. You must be a person of godly character. You must fear God and treat other peo...
