No Promise, No Faith

By Revd 'Remi Tejumola

The Word God spoke is the only thing that He is responsible to confirm. He will not and cannot be held responsible for what He has not spoken or promised anyone.

Faith can only be based on a given promise. It is when you believe and act according to the requirements of that promise that you are actually in faith, which then will bring the expected results into manifestation. With this in mind, you will realise that, 'No promise, no faith'. There are no 'ifs' or 'buts' about this.

Many times when people claim to have faith, it is not based on the Word of God. It's usually based on nothingness, hope and assumptions. They just have 'faith'. Nothing but frustration will result from this kind of faith.

The Bible says, "So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God" (Romans 10:17). God must have promised you something before you can exercise faith in Him. You must have utterlly believed what He said in His Word for Him to be obligated to perform it.

The woman who had the issue of blood for 12yrs heard about Jesus, and she believed all that she heard about Him. What she heard became the basis of her faith and also produced the faith she had which lead to her miraculous healing as she touched His garment (Mark 5:25-34).

I learnt that there are at least 3,000 promises that God made in the Bible, and they are ours. If you have up to 3,000 problems, you're home free. But I don't think you have up to as many as that. But know that God cares.

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...
