The Rhema

By Revd 'Remi Tejumola

Shalom! The Greek word 'Rhema' means 'revealed knowledge'. It also means, 'exact knowledge'. Rhema is when God opens up His Word to us and we're given great understanding and depth in His Word on any subject. As long as we lack the revelation knowledge of the Word of God, all we would have will just be theories and head knowledge.

People have asked me many times, How should I study the Bible? The first thing is to read it. You can start from Genesis or Matthew. Just read it through to get the general idea. You can do this as many times as you possibly can.

The next thing is for you to study it in order to know in specific terms what it says. If you have a good study Bible, you can use the index and concordance to study it topically.

Then whatever lesson you learnt during your study, prayerfully take time to meditate on the truth. Given enough time, God will begin to open up the Word to you on whatever topic you're meditating on in the Bible.

Coupled with the last point, pray this Ephesians' prayer regularly for yourself:

Ephesians 1: 17-19
17 That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him:
18 The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,
19 And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power.

Till next posting, God bless.

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...

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...

Your Exposure Matters

By Revd 'Remi Tejumola What kind of knowledge have you been exposed to? What have you fed yourself with? What kind of knowledge have you recieved through your Pastor? Whether you realise it or not, you are influenced and your life is directed in the direction of the kind of mindset that you have, which is largely influenced by the kind of knowledge that you have. What you know and what you're ignorant of affect your life. The kind of Pastor you listen to, and the kind of church you attend affects you. The kind of books, tapes, videos and the kind of friends you keep affects your life. Make no mistake about it, you are what you eat. Jesus puts it this way, "A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh" (Luke 6:45). What you filled your heart with, comes out of your mouth and your life. Your...
