.::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.

Hope, And Then Have Faith in God!

By Revd 'Remi Tejumola Shalom! There is a clear difference between hope and faith. Hope cannot achieve anything without faith, and faith has nothing to recieve without hope. Hope expects and faith recieves. One of hope's definition is 'eager yearning'. Hope dreams and will keep you smiling, but achieve nothing more than that. Hope is a picture of the things you want to have. Faith, on the other hand, does not expect anything. It is a reciever. Faith takes the unrealities of hope and brings them into the realm of reality. "Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen" (Hebrews 11: 1). It's just as if hope has been there waiting and achieving nothing untill faith arrived and grabbed hope and bring into reality what hope dreamt about. Now listen up, faith doesn't just come. Faith is produced through the knowledge of the Word of God that you've repeatedly heard (Romans 10: 17). Many times you don't have to hear God...

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!...

The Holy Spirit Moves 5

By Revd 'Remi Tejumola Shalom! One major lesson that I began to learn as a born-again Christian is the subject of faith, and I am still learning it after 24years. I found out that if a Christian is ignorant of this subject, he will lead a lopsided life. Things will be very difficult for him in this life. The Bible says, "The just shall live by his faith" (Habakuk 2: 4). God works with those who have learnt and are living and walking by faith. 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). So faith is a must for those that would walk with God. In Mark 11: 22-24, the Bible says, "And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God. 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 tho...
