The Bible Effect #7

By Revd 'Remi Tejumola

The Bible records, "And, behold, one came and said unto him [Jesus], Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?" (Matthew 19:16).

As ministers of the Gospel we need to minister with the consciousness that our audience consist of people with a lot of questions that needed answers. I have found out that when we minister the Word the way God said and meant it, we answer those questions.

People become liberated when their questions are answered. Sometimes people get healed.

Some of the lessons we learnt from Jesus came about because of the questions that people asked Him. Would it not be a wonderful thing, getting to church with a burning question in your heart, and while the ministry of the Word was going on, suddenly the pastor said something that answered the question? It is as good and as powerful as when a miracle takes place, at least to the person concerned.

I recieved a designer greeting card from a sister several years ago in which she stated her appreciation of how God used me to minister to all the people she brought to our ministrations at the Faith Clinic. They felt that she must have told me about them because I talked about them in the course of Bible teaching.

Honestly speaking, I have no idea of what they were talking about. All I did was teach the Word. God's Word speaks to people when it's preached and taught rightly.

The Psalmist said, "Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path" (Psalm 119:105).

Till next posting, God bless.

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'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. ...

Greetings

Hi there, friend! A happy new month to you. Usually, I greet my friends or acquaintances this way, "H.appy New Year" even if the last time I saw them was just a week ago. Just a funny greeting. The exciting ministry times still continues. I have just ended a whole month ministry time with the Believers' Fellowship in Ibadan here. So many people were blessed during the course of the meeting. I don't have pictures here because I misplaced my digi-cam. My Holy Ghost Miracle Service is now what we are preparing for between now and October. It's going to be a two-day event, three services - two evenings and one morning Life Seminar. We are preparing to use a church's venue here in Ibadan. I lost my mother-in-law just two days ago and she's going to be buried next week Saturday. Her own mum is still alive. She was a good mother to all her children, including me. So we plan to give her a beffiting funeral at Owo Town, Ondo State. A friend sent me an e-mail and I ...
