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.

Hope, And Then Have Faith in God!

By Revd 'Remi Tejumola Shalom! There is a clear difference between hope and faith. Hope cannot achieve anything without faith, and faith has nothing to recieve without hope. Hope expects and faith recieves. One of hope's definition is 'eager yearning'. Hope dreams and will keep you smiling, but achieve nothing more than that. Hope is a picture of the things you want to have. Faith, on the other hand, does not expect anything. It is a reciever. Faith takes the unrealities of hope and brings them into the realm of reality. "Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen" (Hebrews 11: 1). It's just as if hope has been there waiting and achieving nothing untill faith arrived and grabbed hope and bring into reality what hope dreamt about. Now listen up, faith doesn't just come. Faith is produced through the knowledge of the Word of God that you've repeatedly heard (Romans 10: 17). Many times you don't have to hear God...

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...

Greetings

Hi there, friend! A happy new month to you. Usually, I greet my friends or acquaintances this way, "H.appy New Year" even if the last time I saw them was just a week ago. Just a funny greeting. The exciting ministry times still continues. I have just ended a whole month ministry time with the Believers' Fellowship in Ibadan here. So many people were blessed during the course of the meeting. I don't have pictures here because I misplaced my digi-cam. My Holy Ghost Miracle Service is now what we are preparing for between now and October. It's going to be a two-day event, three services - two evenings and one morning Life Seminar. We are preparing to use a church's venue here in Ibadan. I lost my mother-in-law just two days ago and she's going to be buried next week Saturday. Her own mum is still alive. She was a good mother to all her children, including me. So we plan to give her a beffiting funeral at Owo Town, Ondo State. A friend sent me an e-mail and I ...
