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.

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...

Re-visiting Faith #5

By Revd 'Remi Tejumola Shalom! One can spend a whole lifetime studying the subject of faith and one will continue to learn so many sides that are involved therein. Let's look at our main text again: Hebrews 11: 6 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. Diligence is an attribute and attitude of faith. There is a kind of seriousness that is attached to the Bible kind of faith which is why God demands diligence in the seeker. The dictionary defines the word "diligence" as "careful and conscientious" and the word "careful" as "paying close attention". The word "conscientious" is defined "been diligent with one's work" . I don't think this can be overly emphasised since it is the very basis and fabric of our relationship with the Most High God. You can just imagine why this faith business ...

All Consuming Desire #5

By Revd 'Remi Tejumola Jesus Christ, our Lord and Saviour really gave us the definition of faith in Mark 11:23-24. He showed us exactly what we need to do. So everytime we take the faith stand, what we believe matters. We can't say after we've prayed the prayer of faith, "I am expecting such and such from God." To do that is to get out of faith which will abort our prayer. You must believe that you have recieved what you asked for in prayer WHEN YOU PRAY, and then it will manifest. But if you want to wait untill you see it manifest, you will never get to see it. This is where B.U.S.H. comes in. Believe you have recieved Untill Something Happens (untill it manifest). Once you believe you have recieved, stay put in that mode - regardless of how you feel or what you've not seen or felt. Just believe it's done for you already. That's what will cause the manifestation! Jesus said, "Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, ...
