The Prayer of Faith #4

By Revd 'Remi Tejumola

Again Jesus said, "Therefore I say unto you, What things soever you desire, when ye pray, believe ye recieve them, and ye shall have them" (Mark 11:24).

There has been a kind of teaching and preaching in a lot of churches, with many people loving it. It's called OPERATION P.U.S.H. meaning, Pray Untill Something Happen. It has never appealed to me. Some Bible translations added to the problem when they interpreted Matthew 7:7 as
saying, "Ask and keep on asking."

Jesus will never contradict Himself. The Word of God never contradicts itself. Rather you should compare scriptures with scriptures. Read here about what Jesus said about prayer, "But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking" (Matthew 6:7). The length of your prayers does not determine the answer. If you're going to ask continually it's not going to be for the same thing. Each time you have a need or something that you desire to have, you have the right to go back to God each time to present your need to Him.

I want to introduce another one to you. It's called B.U.S.H. Believe Untill Something Happens.

When we pray and ask God to do or give us anything, Jesus said that we should BELIEVE that we recieve it, and we shall have it.

But for how long should we continue to believe? UNTILL SOMETHING HAPPENS. What will happen? What we believe God for will come into manifestation.

What Jesus expects and requires us to do is to stay in faith untill what we're believing for anifests. Your faith becomes operative only when you believe you recieve whatever you prayed for. God always respond to faith and ignores doubt and unbelief.

Operation BUSH becomes active the moment you pray. Once you pray, believe you have recieved what you wanted from God untill it happens. This is faith. Faith is declaring that what you believe God for has happened, even when you're yet to see it.

Till next posting, God bless.

.::Steps To Receiving The Holy Ghost Baptism Now::.

By Revd 'Remi Tejumola A man wrote my boss, Revd (Dr.) I.K.U. Ibeneme, in 1990 from Calabar. He was a staff of Nigeria Prisons Service. He desired to be filled with the Holy Ghost with the evidence of speaking with other tongues. Dr. Ibeneme passed the letter unto me to attend to. He knew since 1985 that this is my area of interest. I took up the assignment and dealt with it. When the man followed the same steps I am about to give you, the Holy Ghost fell upon him, he fell down and began to speak in tongues for the next two hours! Jesus is the One who baptizes with the Holy Ghost and fire up till now. I will show you few instances in the Bible where people experienced the Holy Ghost baptism with the evidence of speaking in tongues: Acts 2:4 4 And THEY WERE ALL FILLED WITH THE HOLY GHOST, AND BEGAN TO SPEAK WITH OTHER TONGUES, AS THE SPIRIT GAVE THEM UTTERANCE. Acts 10:37-46 37 That word, I say, ye know, which was published throughout all Judaea, and began ...

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...

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...
