Communion of the Holy Ghost #2

by Revd 'Remi Tejumola

For many years, a lot of Christians have prayed and have desired that God would grant them fellowship with the Holy Ghost, and it has seemed as if their prayers have gone unanswered. This is what 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). I want to suggest that you go over this verse of the Bible as many times as possible. The understanding you will receive will open up a lot of things in your relationship with the Almighty God.

When you want to approach the Holy Ghost for fellowship, the approach of faith matters very much. You must approach Him the way Hebrews 11:6 instructs - by faith. You must be certain that He is there and that He will respond to your invitation. That is faith. You shouldn't be expecting a physical sensation to confirm His Presence. Go by the Word, He is there with you.

Lying on the bed loosely sometimes depicts an unserious attitude on our part. So I suggest that you either get up on your feet or get down on your knees, and start talking to Him with reverence because you are before the Almighty God.

If you so desire, and it's okay, begin to sing songs of praise and worship to Him ... quietly. The idea is not to attract people's attention to you, but to be able to connect with Him privately in a way that will be benefitial to you. You may have to switch off your phones and lock your door. If you could still be disturbed where you are, you may have to look for somewhere else to be alone with Him.

When singing, be careful not to sing just any kind of song. Prepare for yourself the kind of songs you want to use in worship.

Have your Bible, pen and notebook with you. You are likely to need all these precious items. Do not be in a hurry. You are having an appointment with God. What or who else could be more important?

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...
