The All-Consuming Desire #1

By Revd 'Remi Tejumola

Achieving fellowship and intimacy with God is what a lot of believers who knows about it really desires. Many have prayed and fasted about it, but have not arrived at the desired haven.

I will not condemn them because I have been in that same position before, like them, where I desire that someone who is really anointed will just come along and wave their hands over me so that it would just happen without too much effort required from me.

But that's just where we miss it. God does require us to do something, and what He requires of us is not something that is difficult for us to do.

In fact the provision God has already made available for us thru Jesus made it all the more easy to accomplish.

As God's children, God has already placed the Holy Spirit within us, and we are to fellowship with Him.

The Bible says, "... the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen" (2 Corinthians 13:14). It is God's will for everyone of us, His children, to have communion with the Holy Spirit.

The word 'communion' also mean, 'fellowship', 'partnership', and 'friendship'. To develop communion then mean that you must create time out of your busy schedule to be alone with Him. The Bible says, "A man that hath friends must shew himself friendly: and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother" (Proverbs 18:24).

To really achieve a close relationship with God means that your whole heart must be involved with seeking Him.

The Bible says, "And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart." (Jeremiah 29:13). It must be an all-consuming desire to want to be with Him and get to know Him.

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, ...
