Communion of the Holy Ghost #1

By Revd 'Remi Tejumola

The Apostle Paul, in his epistle to the church at Corinth, prayed, "The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen" (2 Corinthians 13:14). This prayer contained a couple of important truths we need to take note of: The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God and the communion of the the Holy Ghost.

Right now, I just want to dwell on the COMMUNION OF THE HOLY GHOST.

Every child of God has the God-given privilege of having presently in their lives the presence and person of the Holy Ghost (or Spirit). He got in there when the believer received Jesus Christ into his life as Saviour and Lord. According to the plan and purpose of the Almighty God the Father, He has been in that life since the moment he accepted Jesus.

Having Him in you is one thing, but having fellowship with the One who is in you is another thing entirely. It is a great thing to have Him in you and it is even wonderful to be in fellowship with Him. For your information, the word 'communion' also means 'fellowship', 'partnership' and 'friendship'. You can have the Holy Ghost as your friend.

One important thing about fellowship or friendship is that it needs to be developed and fostered in order for it to grow, and it is what you must do.

It is a settled matter that we have learnt that the Holy Ghost is resident in us individually. If you still have doubts about this truth you need to do more studies on the subject. (Read my books, The Holy Ghost Invasion, Holy Spirit my Resident Helper and, The Revelation of the Awesome Power of the Holy Spirit, to help you with this).

What you need to do as a believer is to first have a firm hold on this truth that the Holy Ghost is living in and with you now. Realize that the Almighty Father's plan is that He will always be with you in all situations. He is not going to leave because you will always need Him and He is always available to you. Then begin to talk to Him as if He's there with you because He is with you. Spend time alone to talk and share with Him. Have this truth in mind: "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). This means that if you give Him all the diligence that it requires, friendship will be established between you and the Holy Ghost.

Till next posting, God bless.

Time Element in Faith

By Revd 'Remi Tejumola Shalom! There is an element of time involved in the principle of faith. Misunderstanding this important element will cause a failure of faith. The Bible says, "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen" (Hebrews 11:1). When should one take the step of faith? (Now!) Paul said, "Now faith is . . . the evidence of things not seen". When you are standing by faith, what you're believing God for is neither seen nor felt. You're just standing in faith for it - calling those things which be not as though they were. If you've asked God for a car, by faith you say, 'I believe that I have my car now.' This is neither pretence nor a lie. You really must believe this way. You don't have to see it first or feel it before you believe it. In fact, we do not need to look for any sign or hear a voice to know our prayers are heard. Once we pray, God wants us to believe that the need is met NOW WHE...

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...

.::Steps To Receiving The Holy Ghost Baptism Now::.

By Revd 'Remi Tejumola A man wrote my boss, Revd (Dr.) I.K.U. Ibeneme, in 1990 from Calabar. He was a staff of Nigeria Prisons Service. He desired to be filled with the Holy Ghost with the evidence of speaking with other tongues. Dr. Ibeneme passed the letter unto me to attend to. He knew since 1985 that this is my area of interest. I took up the assignment and dealt with it. When the man followed the same steps I am about to give you, the Holy Ghost fell upon him, he fell down and began to speak in tongues for the next two hours! Jesus is the One who baptizes with the Holy Ghost and fire up till now. I will show you few instances in the Bible where people experienced the Holy Ghost baptism with the evidence of speaking in tongues: Acts 2:4 4 And THEY WERE ALL FILLED WITH THE HOLY GHOST, AND BEGAN TO SPEAK WITH OTHER TONGUES, AS THE SPIRIT GAVE THEM UTTERANCE. Acts 10:37-46 37 That word, I say, ye know, which was published throughout all Judaea, and began ...
