Dynamic Scriptures 6

By Revd 'Remi Tejumola Shalom! "I have found David my servant; with my holy oil have I anointed him" (Psalm 89:20). This was God talking about King David of Israel, the great Psalmist. God said that He found and anointed him. To me, this meant that when God was looking for someone He found David. David was not God's first choice when He chose Saul to be king. No, Saul was His first choice. Of cause when Saul was consecrated king, David was still probably a baby. David was a replacement king of Israel and a man with the right kind of attitude. Even at that, He was chosen by God and God found Him to be the kind of man He liked. I want you to understand that anyone else could also have been 'a man after God's heart'. However when God finds a person, He depends on that person to carry out His will and purpose. After one man studied the Bible through from Genesis to Revelation, he concluded that God must have been partial to have used a few men throughout the ...

Dynamic Scriptures 5

By Revd 'Remi Tejumola Shalom! It was a very amazing thing for me when I realised the different ways God went about creation on earth here. Man was not made out of nothingness. God could have done it that way, but He chose another method. He made man using the dust of the earth to do it: Genesis 2: 7 7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul . Really if you call a man or woman, Dusty, it won't be far-fetched at all in the light of the scriptures. We were made from the dust of the earth. God's creative ability surpasses all we can fathom or imagine. We need to realise that our God can do anything and we have proof of this in the Bible accounts from Genesis through to Revelation. One time in the 90s, I was the guest minister of the St. Marks Anglican Church, at their open air crusade. A boy who had previously mistakenly shot his own hand with his father's gun, had the muscles a...

Dynamic Scriptures 4

By Revd 'Remi Tejumola Shalom! "And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof" (Genesis 2:19). Did you see that? Or like Chief Zebrudaya of the Masquarade fame would say, 'Are you see what I am saw?' There was a depth of intimacy and trust that existed between God and Adam to the point that God brought the newly created animals to him to name. Adam gave all the animals and every other living creatures their names. Isn't this wonderful! It wasn't God Who gave all living creatures their names. He left that job to Adam. The next time you see a dog, cockroach, an eagle, fish, a cat, an elephant or any other creature at all, remember that it was a man like you that gave that creature its name. This is the kind of intimacy God desires to have with us His dear children. He is ye...

Dynamic Scriptures 3

By Revd 'Remi Tejumola Shalom! God reveals Himself to those that worship Him in many kinds of ways. I've seen one of these outstanding ways in the Bible. People do experience such things as this and it's great: Exodus 24: 9-11 9 Then went up Moses, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel: 10 And they saw the God of Israel: and there was under his feet as it were a paved work of a sapphire stone, and as it were the body of heaven in his clearness. 11 And upon the nobles of the children of Israel he laid not his hand: also they saw God, and did eat and drink. God revealed Himself to all the leaders of His people here, Moses, Aaron, Nadab, etc. What a great sight it must have been, and what an experience. As you respond to the Word of God in Psalm 50: 23, you can experience what we know in Christian circles as God's visitation as we've read above in the book of Exodus. This experience is not exclusive to anyone. Jesus puts it this way, "I...

Dynamic Scriptures 2

By Revd 'Remi Tejumola Shalom! God said that whosoever praise Him, glorify Him, and whosoever order his conservation aright will see the salvation of God (Psalm 50: 23). The word conversation here means manner of life - not an exchange of words or discussion. Praise and worship is one way to express our love to God. Our manner of life is another way to do it, and we're supposed to have both in place in our lives. How can we order our lives aright? (By leading our lives according to the Word of God). Jesus puts it this way, "If ye love me, keep my commandments" (John 14:15). Find out what His Word requires of you and do it, Psalm 91: 14-16 14 Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name. 15 He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him. 16 With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation. Some of the rewards of lovin...

Dynamic Scriptures 1

By Revd 'Remi Tejumola Shalom! There are some verses in the Bible that I called Dynamic Scriptures in that when you read them, if you really love and reverence God, will minister to your heart. I have decided to share some of them in the series of postings from today. May they do to you what they have done to me and more in Jesus name. Amen! Psalm 50: 23 23 Whoso offereth praise glorifieth me: and to him that ordereth his conversation aright will I shew the salvation of God. This is God speaking His mind and His will to us in His Word. The first thing in a Christian's life is that he should be in fellowship with God. Our main way of fellowship with Him is to praise and worship Him. And here God says that when we do this we glorify Him. This also mean that when we praise and worship God, we touch His heart. How does He respond to praise and worship that touches His heart? The Bible says, "But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel" (Psalm 22:3)....

Faith and Wisdom 4

By Revd 'Remi Tejumola Shalom! I have no intention of encouraging lazy people with these series of teachings on the subject of prayer and faith simply because the Bible says that if you will not work, you should not eat. Who are those qualified to have their needs met? Lazy people? No! Unemployed, and looking for one? Yes! Unemployed and not looking for work? No! Those whose disability prevents them from getting employment? Of course, yes. Students (in school, really studying?) Yes! Those who have jobs and are faithful at it? Yes. Retired folks? Of course, yes. Those on admission in hospitals? Yes. Those living below God's standard of holiness and righteousness - living in sin? Definitely NO! Those who lost their work because of downsizing, victimisation at the workplace or because of illness. Yes! Homemakers and children are also qualified to have their needs met. Good housemaids and houseboys are qualified to have their needs met. As long as a person is a child of God, who is...
