No Limits: Deal with Doubts and Fears (Part 3)


By Revd 'Remi Tejumola

Mark 11:22-24
22 And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God. 
23 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 those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. 
24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.

2 Timothy 1:7
7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. 

This truth cannot be overstated: God can do anything for you and He will go as far, for you, as you can believe Him for, according to His Word. How far are you willing to go, how much or how many things can you believe Him for. On several occasions in the Bible, when people came to Jesus for miracles, He would tell them, "Be it unto you according to YOUR FAITH!" In fact, I understand that most people that got healed under the earthly ministry of Jesus got it through their faith. Faith is of the essence all the time. Most people that got healed today got it by their faith.

Right now I want to deal with two related issues that you need to eliminate from your life so that you can really exercise real faith which will bring you desired results: Doubt and Fear.

Many believers can quote off-hand the entire faith verses I have as our texts in this lesson without opening the Bible. This shows they are very familiar with the passage. Yet, a lot of times in trying to exercise their faith they have missed a few important details of the passage. Here it is again, but this time notice the emphasis: 

Mark 11:22-24
22 And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God. 
23 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 (IN HIS HEART) that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. 
24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe (IN YOUR HEART) that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.

Faith in God is a heart thing just as true love is a heart matter. Faith is never found in the mind, it's always in the heart. Jesus said in this passage that DOUBT must be absent from YOUR HEART whenever you want to exercise faith in God for anything. 

Doubts many times arises because of the fears that people entertain which are are a result of pictures of thoughts painted in their minds through all sorts of things which people have said, their experiences in life and the kind of preachers they have listened to who told them a lot of untrue things. They have dwelled long enough on these thoughts and they've gained entrance into their hearts. Anytime this happens it becomes hard to deal with, but not impossible to deal with.

There's a saying which goes like this: Feed your faith and starve your doubt. How can one do this? Number one: Stop listening to such thoughts and people that feeds you with fears and doubts, eg, 'God does not heal today, even if He heals are you sure He would heal you? God will not come down from heaven to meet your needs.' You may have to stop going to some churches where such preachers are. Stop listening to pastors or preachers and motivational speakers who teaches that 'everything happens for a reason.' They will rob you of your faith if you continue to listen to them.

Number two: Feed on the Word of God, the Bible verses that are relevant to your situation. Read them to yourself constantly. Don't rush into prayer. If you still have fears that you may not have your needs met. Get rid of the fear. The Bible says that fear didn't come from God. So where did it come from? The devil! Get rid of it. Say, Fear, I resist you in the name of Jesus! Go from me now! And it will. Then go back to God's Word relevant to your situation and intensify your reading, studying and meditation on it.

Thank God that ministries such as Kenneth E. Hagin's, Kenneth Copeland, Norvel Hayes, Charles and Frances Hunter have books you can buy and study that will really help your faith to get properly built up so that you will always get your needs met. Get their books on Prayer, Faith and Healing.

I join the group of those that want you to have your needs met: God, Jesus, The Holy Spirit, Angels in heaven, Kenneth E. Hagin, Kenneth Copeland, Norvel Hayes, Charles and Frances Hunter, and all others along these lines. Your needs can be met today.

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...

Dynamic Scriptures 10

By Revd 'Remi Tejumola Shalom! What you believe when you pray and afterwards matter. What you believe determines whether or not you ever get hold of what you desired of God. Whenever you pray and ask God for anything, God wants you to believe that you have recieved whatever it is you asked for. If you asked God for a cat, believe you have recieved the cat and you will get it. Notice He didn't say you should believe that God is going to bring it, but that you have received it, and you have it now by faith. This is when results come. But if after praying, and you didn't see any difference, you then say, 'I don't think my prayer is answered' , you have just aborted your own prayer. As soon as Jesus cursed the fig tree, He turned around and went His own way. He didn't bother to wait and see whether any change has occurred, "And Jesus answered and said unto it, No man eat fruit of thee hereafter for ever. And his disciples heard it" (Mark 11:14). You c...

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...
