Lessons From The Book Of Chronicles 8

By Revd 'Remi Tejumola Shalom! What could happen that can cause you to pronounce that a particular day is the best in your life? Untill it happen, you can't even guess. King Solomon had a day like that. Let's see it: 2 Chronicles 1: 6-10 6 And Solomon went up thither to the brasen altar before the LORD, which was at the tabernacle of the congregation, and offered a thousand burnt offerings upon it. 7 In that night did God appear unto Solomon, and said unto him, Ask what I shall give thee. 8 And Solomon said unto God, Thou hast shewed great mercy unto David my father, and hast made me to reign in his stead. 9 Now, O LORD God, let thy promise unto David my father be established: for thou hast made me king over a people like the dust of the earth in multitude. 10 Give me now wisdom and knowledge, that I may go out and come in before this people: for who can judge this thy people, that is so great? If God ever offer you a blank cheque like this, what will you fill into it? Thin...

Lessons From The Book Of Chronicles 7

By Revd 'Remi Tejumola Shalom! Talking about King Amaziah of Israel, the Bible says, "Amaziah was twenty and five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned twenty and nine years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Jehoaddan of Jerusalem. And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, but not with a perfect heart " (2 Chronicles 25: 1-2). I want you to understand that this record of what God saw concerning King Amaziah could only have been gotten through the revelation given by the Holy Spirit. Notice that the Bible says, "... he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, but not with a perfect heart" . I tell you, this beats me. If Amaziah could do this then, people today can do the same thing. He did what was right before God with a wrong motive . (This kind of thing couldn't have been seen by human beings; but God saw it). When you claim to be doing something for God, even when man cannot see your heart, God sees it. I w...

Lessons From The Book of Chronicles 6

By Revd 'Remi Tejumola Shalom! In the early days of the Nation of Israel, on their land, to be a king was not a small thing. Kings were handpicked by God. It wasn't a democratic choice. But whether or not they were chosen by God, only a few of all of Israel's kings walked closely with God. To then have a godly king was a great thing, moreso to have a king that gets honours from God. 2 Chronicles 7: 3 3 And when all the children of Israel saw how the fire came down, and the glory of the LORD upon the house, they bowed themselves with their faces to the ground upon the pavement, and worshipped, and praised the LORD, saying, For he is good; for his mercy endureth for ever. It is an awesome thing for me to see the power of the Holy Spirit manifests in a minister's life and ministry. I was there in June 1988 when the Archbishop Benson Idahosa blessed two students who came to visit with him from the then University of Ife. The two of them crumpled on the floor under the power...

Lessons From The Book of Chronicles 5

By Revd 'Remi Tejumola Shalom! Having God's endorsement is a very honourable thing for any man (or woman). I understand that you don't just get that - it's not cheap. If God told men not to put their trust in men, you can be sure that if there are people whom He trusts, they must have earned it. Now let's see such a man: 2 Chronicles 7: 1-2 1 Now when Solomon had made an end of praying, the fire came down from heaven, and consumed the burnt offering and the sacrifices; and the glory of the LORD filled the house. 2 And the priests could not enter into the house of the LORD, because the glory of the LORD had filled the LORD'S house. Solomon must have earned God's endorsement for His fire to have come down on his sacrifice and His glory to have filled the house Solomon built unto His name. You see, not every king in Israel enjoyed such endorsement from God. Baal's prophets too didn't get anything like that when they had an encounter with God's proph...

Lessons From the Book of Chronicles 4

By Revd 'Remi Tejumola Shalom! What actually did King Uzziah do that cost him the help of God which he had enjoyed for so many years? The Bible says, "But when he was strong, his heart was lifted up to his destruction" (2 Chronicles 26: 16), that is, when he became full of himself (meaning: when his successes got to his head), he transgressed against God. What was the transgression? Let's see what the transgression was: 2 Chronicles 26: 18 18 And they withstood Uzziah the king, and said unto him, It appertaineth not unto thee, Uzziah, to burn incense unto the LORD, but to the priests the sons of Aaron, that are consecrated to burn incense: go out of the sanctuary; for thou hast trespassed; neither shall it be for thine honour from the LORD God. One of the things that you should be aware of is that God works with rules. The earlier you realise this, the better for you. There are things God meant for just you, and there are things meant just for others to do. As long a...

Lessons From the Book of Chronicles 3

By Revd 'Remi Tejumola Shalom! There's one theme that ran around the life and reign of King Uzziah in Israel: He recieved help from God. He got this help for such a long time because he sought the Lord for the same length of time. But the time came when he became full of himself and he lost the divine help. 2 Chronicles 26: 16 16 But when he was strong, his heart was lifted up to his destruction: for he transgressed against the LORD his God, and went into the temple of the LORD to burn incense upon the altar of incense. What God has not ordered for, you don't just offer to Him. Also, stay always only in the area of your calling and giftings. Never intrude into things you're not qualified for. King Uzziah was celebrated by God and the people of Israel. But when he took upon himself a position he was not cut out for, God judged him severely: 2 Chronicles 26: 17 17 And Azariah the priest went in after him, and with him fourscore priests of the LORD, that were valiant men...

Lessons From The Book of Chronicles 2

By Revd 'Remi Tejumola Shalom! You can be involved with any kind of good work on earth, and God could cause you to prosper if you're someone who seeks the Lord. The Bible says again, "And he sought God in the days of Zechariah, who had understanding in the visions of God: and as long as he sought the LORD, God made him to prosper" (2 Chronicles 26:5). Anyone can seek the Lord. The Teacher can seek the Lord as well as the Engineer, Doctor, Banker, Secretary, State Governor, Head of Nations, Farmers, Musicians, Petty Traders, Broadcasters and so on, and as long as they seek the Lord, He will cause them to prosper. Psalm 1 says, "But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper" (Psalm 1:2-3). Meditating on the Word of God is a strong and definite...
