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...

Re-visiting Faith #5

By Revd 'Remi Tejumola Shalom! One can spend a whole lifetime studying the subject of faith and one will continue to learn so many sides that are involved therein. Let's look at our main text again: Hebrews 11: 6 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. Diligence is an attribute and attitude of faith. There is a kind of seriousness that is attached to the Bible kind of faith which is why God demands diligence in the seeker. The dictionary defines the word "diligence" as "careful and conscientious" and the word "careful" as "paying close attention". The word "conscientious" is defined "been diligent with one's work" . I don't think this can be overly emphasised since it is the very basis and fabric of our relationship with the Most High God. You can just imagine why this faith business ...

All Consuming Desire #5

By Revd 'Remi Tejumola Jesus Christ, our Lord and Saviour really gave us the definition of faith in Mark 11:23-24. He showed us exactly what we need to do. So everytime we take the faith stand, what we believe matters. We can't say after we've prayed the prayer of faith, "I am expecting such and such from God." To do that is to get out of faith which will abort our prayer. You must believe that you have recieved what you asked for in prayer WHEN YOU PRAY, and then it will manifest. But if you want to wait untill you see it manifest, you will never get to see it. This is where B.U.S.H. comes in. Believe you have recieved Untill Something Happens (untill it manifest). Once you believe you have recieved, stay put in that mode - regardless of how you feel or what you've not seen or felt. Just believe it's done for you already. That's what will cause the manifestation! Jesus said, "Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, ...
