.::Walk in the Spirit (2)::.

By Revd 'Remi Tejumola

I closed my last post with these words: When you don't walk in the Spirit your prayers will not work at all. (I believe that arrested your attention). Good!

If you really want to know what works automatically in life, get this: if you are not walking in the Spirit, you are walking after/in the flesh. Let's get more practical.

The Apostle Paul gave us a list of fleshly conducts that our human body is prone to manifest in his letter/epistle to the Galatians church:

Galatians 5:19-21
19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, 
20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,
21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things SHALL NOT INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF GOD.

I cannot define all these fleshly attributes for you. Help yourself with a dictionary to define each of these words. But let me give you two other scriptures with the things I have to say now, then close for the day. The Bible here tells us that when we walk in the flesh we SHALL NOT INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF GOD! 

Romans 8:1
1 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

This means that as long as you walk in the Spirit you will not experience any condemnation from God, and in the light of another scripture, your heart will not condemn you (1 John 3:21-22).

The Lord Jesus said, "If ye abide in me, AND MY WORDS ABIDE IN YOU, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you" (John 15:7 KJV).

The walk in the Spirit is not an automatic thing at all. We have been living and walking in the flesh before we met Christ and got born-again, but after getting saved most of us are yet to learn to walk in the Spirit.

By the virtue of getting born-again we abide in Christ, but it is only by the renewal of our minds with God's Word and living by it that we will begin to walk in the Spirit and have His Word abiding in us. Then we will pray and our prayers WILL BE ANSWERED! (Romans 12:1-2).

More to come. The Bible says, "When we walk in the flesh we SHALL NOT INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF GOD!" Watch out for the explanation in the next post. 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...

Whatever Happened To Personal Evangelism

Dear Friend, Good day to you. I wish to pass on to you today a message I have had in my inbox for almost 3years now as a kind of reminder to our purpose as the body of Christ. It is an article by Lee Grady, the editor of Charisma Magazine . Please read. God bless. -Revd 'Remi Tejumola   Whatever Happened to Personal Evangelism? We are not anointed by the Holy Spirit simply to have visions or feel spiritual goose bumps. It's time for us to re-embrace soul-winning.   My heart sank two weeks ago when I heard that Dr. D. James Kennedy had died at age 76 of complications from an earlier heart attack. Knowing that Jerry Falwell died in May, and considering that Billy Graham is not in good health, I wondered who could possibly replace these stalwart Christian statesmen.   The congenial Kennedy, who usually wore an austere clerical robe when he preached on his popular television broadcast, founded Coral Ridge Presbyterian Church in Fort Lauderdale 48 years ago. Yet ...
