The Process of Divine Change #2

By Revd 'Remi Tejumola

Shalom! Let's take a look at several key words from our two main texts: Matthew 6:33 and Romans 12:1-2, 'righteousness', 'transformation' and 'renewal'.

In my last posting from the Amplified Bible, the Word 'righteousness' meant 'its way of doing' which means the principles by which the kingdom of God is ran. This shows there are certain ways the kingdom of God operates.

Jesus taught us to seek two things, the kingdom and the way things work. These two things are supposed to be our first priority. Seeking the kingdom is as important as seeking to know how things work there.

One of the requirements for becoming a US citizen is for the immigrant to get familiar with the constitution of that country. They don't want you running foul of their laws.

In the kingdom of God, as a citizen, it is required that you go through a process of transformation by the renewal of your mind before you can ascertain and prove what is the will of God in your life. This is the number one reason why you need to read through the whole Bible. You need to study and meditate on the Word day and night.

More so, there are ministers of God whom He has revealed certain principles of His kingdom to, from whom you need to learn and use in your life. Take for an example: God raised a person like Kenneth E. Hagin to teach us His people about faith. He raised Lester Sumrall to teach us about deliverance and demonology. He raised John Avanzini to teach us prosperity, and me to teach the body of Christ about the Holy Spirit. Basically, I'm one of those you need to listen to in order to get going in the kingdom of God.

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...

Time Element in Faith

By Revd 'Remi Tejumola Shalom! There is an element of time involved in the principle of faith. Misunderstanding this important element will cause a failure of faith. The Bible says, "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen" (Hebrews 11:1). When should one take the step of faith? (Now!) Paul said, "Now faith is . . . the evidence of things not seen". When you are standing by faith, what you're believing God for is neither seen nor felt. You're just standing in faith for it - calling those things which be not as though they were. If you've asked God for a car, by faith you say, 'I believe that I have my car now.' This is neither pretence nor a lie. You really must believe this way. You don't have to see it first or feel it before you believe it. In fact, we do not need to look for any sign or hear a voice to know our prayers are heard. Once we pray, God wants us to believe that the need is met NOW WHE...

Faith's Place

By Revd 'Remi Tejumola Shalom! God's face always shine with pleasure when He finds people who took Him at His Word - those who live by faith. Hebrews 11: 5-6 5 By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God. 6 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. God is always excited when His people exercises faith in Him by taking Him at His Word. During Jesus earthly ministry, He displayed His joy each time He found such people: Luke 7: 7-9 7 Wherefore neither thought I myself worthy to come unto thee: but say in a word, and my servant shall be healed. 8 For I also am a man set under authority, having under me soldiers, and I say unto one, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it. ...
