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...

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. ...
