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...

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...
