God's Will 606 #4

By Revd 'Remi Tejumola

Shalom! Part of what we know as The Lord's Prayer reads, "Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven" (Matthew 6:10). By this Jesus taught us about doing the will of God while we are here on earth.

Jesus said about Himself, "For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me" (John 6:38).

The mission of Jesus coming to the earth was to do the will of God. He didn't come for a picnic. No, He didn't. He had a lot more higher purpose in sight than self-gratification.

The last prayer He prayed was one of total dedication to do the will of the Father:

Matthew 26: 39
39 ... O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt.

Have you ever thought of the reason for your being? It is to do the will of God here on earth. (I will discuss this in a later post).

The will of God today is that everyone will believe the Gospel about Jesus Christ and be born-again (John 3: 1-17).

After getting born-again, the will of God is for those of us who have experienced the New Birth to love one another and reach the rest of the world with the Gospel through evangelism which Jesus has commissioned us to do:

Mark 16: 15-16
15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.

The total duty of man is to do the will of God. This also affects our prayers: "And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his [God's] commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight" (1 John 3:22).

Let the Word of God talk to you. 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...

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...
