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.

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...
