The Holy Spirit #3

By Revd 'Remi Tejumola

Shalom! The Bible says, "While Peter thought on the vision, the Spirit said unto him, Behold, three men seek thee. Arise therefore, and get thee down, and go with them, doubting nothing: for I have sent them" (Acts 10:19-20).

The Holy Spirit is a person who speaks. He has His own voice with which He speaks. When He speaks to you, His voice will be heard. Jesus said, on several occasions, "He that has ear to hear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches."

The Holy Spirit speaks in different ways:

1. By inward revelation (Romans 8: 14-16).

2. By the Word of God - a rhema "And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven" (Matthew 16:17).

3. He speaks through the revelations of dreams and visions.

4. He speaks through His own authoritative voice.

5. He speaks by the presence or absence of peace (Colossians 3: 16).

6. He speaks through the gifts of the Spirit (1 Corinthians 12: 7-11).

7. He speaks through men and women of God. He speaks through other Christians.

8. He sometimes speaks through God's angels.

9. He speaks through the unction on the inside of the born again Christians "But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things" (1 John 2: 20).

Effort must be given to fostering fellowship with Him. Since He has His own personality, you can learn from Bible how to relate with Him.

He is the kind of person who cares about what happens to you and is ready to listen to you and help. He is not a weak person. Being your Comforter is more than an official role in your life. This name also shows us His nature, that He is a caring person.

The name Comforter also mean, Counsellor, Advocate, Standby, Strenghtener, Intercessor, Helper, and Friend. All these names indicates positive actions. For an example, people get paid as a profession for offering counselling services to people. But you can get it freely from the Holy Spirit. You don't need to book any appointment with Him. He lives with you all the time!

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...

Dynamic Scriptures 10

By Revd 'Remi Tejumola Shalom! What you believe when you pray and afterwards matter. What you believe determines whether or not you ever get hold of what you desired of God. Whenever you pray and ask God for anything, God wants you to believe that you have recieved whatever it is you asked for. If you asked God for a cat, believe you have recieved the cat and you will get it. Notice He didn't say you should believe that God is going to bring it, but that you have received it, and you have it now by faith. This is when results come. But if after praying, and you didn't see any difference, you then say, 'I don't think my prayer is answered' , you have just aborted your own prayer. As soon as Jesus cursed the fig tree, He turned around and went His own way. He didn't bother to wait and see whether any change has occurred, "And Jesus answered and said unto it, No man eat fruit of thee hereafter for ever. And his disciples heard it" (Mark 11:14). You c...

Whatever Happened To Personal Evangelism

Dear Friend, Good day to you. I wish to pass on to you today a message I have had in my inbox for almost 3years now as a kind of reminder to our purpose as the body of Christ. It is an article by Lee Grady, the editor of Charisma Magazine . Please read. God bless. -Revd 'Remi Tejumola   Whatever Happened to Personal Evangelism? We are not anointed by the Holy Spirit simply to have visions or feel spiritual goose bumps. It's time for us to re-embrace soul-winning.   My heart sank two weeks ago when I heard that Dr. D. James Kennedy had died at age 76 of complications from an earlier heart attack. Knowing that Jerry Falwell died in May, and considering that Billy Graham is not in good health, I wondered who could possibly replace these stalwart Christian statesmen.   The congenial Kennedy, who usually wore an austere clerical robe when he preached on his popular television broadcast, founded Coral Ridge Presbyterian Church in Fort Lauderdale 48 years ago. Yet ...
