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.

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 4

By Revd 'Remi Tejumola Shalom! The works of the Holy Spirit varies, no one knows it all. But it's so exciting when one finds out about them. I was part of the Faith Clinic team that travelled with Dr. I. K. U. Ibeneme to minister at a campmeeting, December 1985. It was a deliverance session with the church on the outskirt of Lagos State. Our method of ministry was to ask individuals what problem they have, and we minister accordingly. After I had prayed with several people, it came to the turn of a brother. I went thru the normal process of our ministration and he stuttered and said, 'I am a stammerer'. I was flabbergasted because at that moment I didn't know what to do. But I just said, 'In Jesus' name, I plead the blood. Be healed!' and I took off to another place. During the testimony time, the brother said in very clear words, 'You know me. . . ' and the place became wild with excitement and shouts of 'Hallelujah!' rended the air!...

Faith and the Will of God

By Revd 'Remi Tejumola Shalom! Where exactly in the prayer of faith can we find the will of God? The will of God means what GOD expects, requires and demands, to be done by you. Paul said in his epistle to the Hebrew Christians, "... ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise" (Hebrews 10:36). It is after you've done the will of God that YOU will experience the fulfillment of the promise. The will of God for you when using Mark 11: 24 is that part where Jesus said, "... when ye pray, believe that you recieve them ..." . Once you miss this part, you would have wasted your time and prayer. The will of God in this verse deals with, 1. The time of your prayer WHEN YOU PRAY, and, 2. What you believe when YOU PRAY. The other important thing about your prayer life that goes with the matter of the will of God has to do with your life. You must be a person of godly character. You must fear God and treat other peo...
