All Consuming Desire #6

By Revd 'Remi Tejumola

Jesus said, "Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire,
when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them"
(Mark 11:24). And the apostle Paul said, "... God, who quickeneth the
dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were"
(Romans 4:17).

When you're taking the faith stand you behave like God and call things
which be not as though they were. A crippled person will call himself
healed. The same thing, a person with any other kind of disease. He
will say so because that's what he believes! The moment you ask God
for it, believe that He has done it for you - DONE! And that's what
you are to confess: God has done it and I have now (whatever it may
be). Praise God and thank Him.

Understand that faith and anxiety cannot co-exist, fear, unbelief and
faith cannot work together at all. Paul puts it this way, "Be careful
for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with
thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God" (Philippians
4:6). Be careful for nothing means, Do not worry or fret about
anything. This is divine order.

You must keep this in mind. Notice that Paul, by the Spirit of God,
said we're to make our requests known by prayer, supplication and
THANKSGIVING. He meant that if you're going to pray do away with
anxiety. The whole process of prayer till thanksgiving is a faith one.
You will thank God for the result before you will get to see it. It
means that God answers the prayer based on your act of faith, not just
because you pray, but because you prayed in faith: Believing that you
recieve the answer to your prayer the moment you pray with
thanksgiving.

For this person who prayed is not waiting for God to do something, but
by faith he considers the matter a done-deal! This is the faith that
brings result.

I will throw more light on this in the next post. 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...

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 1

By Revd 'Remi Tejumola Good day to you friend. Today, I want to share some of the things the Holy Spirit had done in my ministry in retrospect. This is meant to inspire you. God can use any believer in Christ to do these things and more. In fact Jesus puts it this way: John 14: 12-14 12 ¶ Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father. 13 And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14 If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it. Sometime, some people left the impression that the things that God used them to do is exclusive to them , but that is not really true. I know this is a strong statement, but it can never be stronger than what Jesus Christ, the Son of God, said above in John 14: 12. There is nothing that God had used someone else to do that He cannot use you to do - absolutely NOTHING! In fact, i...
