The All-Consuming Desire #3

By Revd 'Remi Tejumola

Becoming friends with God must be a goal-oriented desire, something which we must work at to achieve. If not it will be just a pipe-dream, and it doesn't have to be that way.

To become His friend, it must be desired by each individual child of God. And it is possible for all to become His friends. The word 'desire' means 'a strong wish to do something or have something', not a wishy-washing kind of thing. A real heart desire will not be satisfied with a 'No' for an answer to its pursuit.

The truth is that God made it quite clear about the kind of attitude that is required from would be friends. He said, "And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart" (Jeremiah 29:13). Your whole heart must be involved in establishing this kind of relationship with God.

Jesus had 12 disciples, 3 of them were closer to Him, but one of the 3 was closest, John who always sleep at His bosom. Each one of us determines how close we are to God. It is up to you and I to make up our minds about this. Thank God it is achievable!

Sometimes this desire is sparked off by an article or teaching like this or an exposure to people who have such a close relationship with God.

The first man, Adam, had it. Noah had it. Enoch had it. Abraham had it. David had it. Samuel and Elijah had it. You too can have it like many people do, even in this day and age. It must be an all-consuming desire. This desire must take possession of your being, and it will become your reality!

Till next posting, God bless.

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 ...

The Holy Spirit Moves 6

By Revd 'Remi Tejumola Shalom! The faith realm is God's realm. It is Jesus realm, and it is the realm of the Holy Spirit. Even all believers in Jesus Christ belongs in that realm. If you are a born-again Christian, this is your realm. You're a creature of faith. 1 John 5: 4 For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. I want you to understand that victory is always attached to faith. When you get into faith you have entered into the realm of victory in whatever area it is where you're standing on God's Word. The realm of faith is filled with unlimited possibilities. If you come to think of it, you will realize that every step into faith is a step into divine creativity. In April 1994, I went to the UCH to fellowship with the Praise Temple which was founded by a friend, Dr. Sola Fola-Alade. It was a church which consisted mainly of medical students. As result of this they have to set up new ...
