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 also used of God in this area in the same ministry.

Between the last time that I saw him ministering at the Faith Clinic and now, I found out that God has used him to minister life to many people, as was testified of at his wake-keep yesterday. He was laid to rest today at his hometown.

Adieu, Uncle 'Bobo' Obaze!

The Healing Presence #3

Revd 'Remi Tejumola Romans 8:11 11 But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you. There are a lot of truths embedded in this one verse, and I am not about to unveil all of them in this series of lessons. Just have this Word in mind, from the lips of Jesus, "And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free" (John 8:32). The condition in our main text (Romans 8:11) is predicated upon the dwelling presence of the Holy Spirit in the born-again Christian's life. In some measure, the power of the indwelling Spirit is pulsating thru the veins of every child of God, whether or not he realises it. God, our Father, by the Holy Spirit, is quickening or injecting life into our physical body. We need to be aware of this. In 1979, at a Kenneth Copeland's meeting, as Dr. Kenneth E. Hagin was preaching, his photographer took a...

The Holy Spirit Moves 2

By Revd 'Remi Tejumola I hope you had a nice weekend, friend. After travelling around for meetings, I was able to rest the last weekend. But of course, work starts today. My prayer is that you will have a fulfilling and successful week in the name of Jesus. Amen. Now let me continue sharing about the manifestations of the Holy Spirit in my ministry over the years: As a new believer in Christ Jesus, I began to get into the Word to learn about the Way of the Kingdom of God and His Christ, not for preaching, but for my own benefit. Doing that really helped in building a strong foundation for my Christian life. However, after I recieved the baptism in the Holy Spirit, I decided to learn how to minister the Holy Spirit baptism to others. I learnt how to do this through the books written on the subject by Revd Kenneth E. Hagin. I began to get involved in that area of ministry right there at the Faith Clinic, in Ibadan. It wasn't that I just recieved a special grace for it. That came ...
