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...

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...
