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.

The Holy Spirit Moves 1

By Revd 'Remi Tejumola Good day to you friend. Today, I want to share some of the things the Holy Spirit had done in my ministry in retrospect. This is meant to inspire you. God can use any believer in Christ to do these things and more. In fact Jesus puts it this way: John 14: 12-14 12 ¶ Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father. 13 And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14 If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it. Sometime, some people left the impression that the things that God used them to do is exclusive to them , but that is not really true. I know this is a strong statement, but it can never be stronger than what Jesus Christ, the Son of God, said above in John 14: 12. There is nothing that God had used someone else to do that He cannot use you to do - absolutely NOTHING! In fact, i...

The Holy Spirit Moves 5

By Revd 'Remi Tejumola Shalom! One major lesson that I began to learn as a born-again Christian is the subject of faith, and I am still learning it after 24years. I found out that if a Christian is ignorant of this subject, he will lead a lopsided life. Things will be very difficult for him in this life. The Bible says, "The just shall live by his faith" (Habakuk 2: 4). God works with those who have learnt and are living and walking by faith. The Bible says, "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" (Hebrews 11: 6). So faith is a must for those that would walk with God. In Mark 11: 22-24, the Bible says, "And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God. For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that tho...

Your Exposure Matters

By Revd 'Remi Tejumola What kind of knowledge have you been exposed to? What have you fed yourself with? What kind of knowledge have you recieved through your Pastor? Whether you realise it or not, you are influenced and your life is directed in the direction of the kind of mindset that you have, which is largely influenced by the kind of knowledge that you have. What you know and what you're ignorant of affect your life. The kind of Pastor you listen to, and the kind of church you attend affects you. The kind of books, tapes, videos and the kind of friends you keep affects your life. Make no mistake about it, you are what you eat. Jesus puts it this way, "A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh" (Luke 6:45). What you filled your heart with, comes out of your mouth and your life. Your...
