.::Walking in the Spirit::.

By Revd 'Remi Tejumola

To walk in the Spirit is not really different from walking in the Word of God. Have you ever heard others or you too have actually said this, Do not spiritualize everything? In actual fact you would be wrong when you don't.

Walking in the Spirit involves allowing the fruit of the Spirit to blossom in your life with the following noticeable traits of godliness and Christlikeness:

Love (a strong positive emotion of regard and affection for God and for your fellowman),
Joy (emotion of great happiness, especially as a result of salvation through the grace of God in Christ Jesus), 
Peace (harmonious relations; freedom from disputes: having achieved peace with God; and ready to share it with your fellowmen), 
Longsuffering (patient: good natured-tolerance), 
Gentleness (acting in a manner that is gentle and mild and even-tempered),
Goodness (kindness: tendency to be kind and forgiving), 
Faith (faithfulness: constancy, dedication, loyalty, trueness),
Meekness (humility: a disposition to be humble), 
Temperance (self-control: the state of resolutely controlling your own behaviour): 

Which the Bible says, "... against such there is no law" (Galatians 5:22 - 5:23 KJV). A person with these traits will always be good to have around, pleasant to relate with. His presence will be enjoyed by people. It would be difficult to make an enemy out of him. If anyone who calls himself a born-again child of God lacks any of these traits, something is drastically wrong and needs a serious attention!

Let me leave you with this thought till my next posting: When you don't walk in the Spirit your prayers will not work at all. 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...

Re-visiting Faith #5

By Revd 'Remi Tejumola Shalom! One can spend a whole lifetime studying the subject of faith and one will continue to learn so many sides that are involved therein. Let's look at our main text again: Hebrews 11: 6 6 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. Diligence is an attribute and attitude of faith. There is a kind of seriousness that is attached to the Bible kind of faith which is why God demands diligence in the seeker. The dictionary defines the word "diligence" as "careful and conscientious" and the word "careful" as "paying close attention". The word "conscientious" is defined "been diligent with one's work" . I don't think this can be overly emphasised since it is the very basis and fabric of our relationship with the Most High God. You can just imagine why this faith business ...

All Consuming Desire #5

By Revd 'Remi Tejumola Jesus Christ, our Lord and Saviour really gave us the definition of faith in Mark 11:23-24. He showed us exactly what we need to do. So everytime we take the faith stand, what we believe matters. We can't say after we've prayed the prayer of faith, "I am expecting such and such from God." To do that is to get out of faith which will abort our prayer. You must believe that you have recieved what you asked for in prayer WHEN YOU PRAY, and then it will manifest. But if you want to wait untill you see it manifest, you will never get to see it. This is where B.U.S.H. comes in. Believe you have recieved Untill Something Happens (untill it manifest). Once you believe you have recieved, stay put in that mode - regardless of how you feel or what you've not seen or felt. Just believe it's done for you already. That's what will cause the manifestation! Jesus said, "Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, ...
