By Revd 'Remi Tejumola Shalom! During the raining season of 1990, I was taking the Bible Study Fellowship of the Faith Clinic Nigeria on a series of teachings on Ministry Gifts, every Thursday evening. When the rain started, it came on the zinc roof, disturbing us with a great din. This continued for several weeks. One Thursday, I got fed up with the whole thing. There was no P. A. System, so I was talking at the top of my voice to the people. On that day, I determined that it was time to deal with the rain. I taught them how to pray the prayer of faith to deal with the rain based on Mark 11: 24. So we prayed that from the next Thursday till we move to our permanent site the rain should not disturb us again, and we believed that our prayer was answered. From the next Thursday the rain did not disturb us till we move to our own land. The rain would either start and stop before the Bible Study began or start after we shared the benediction. It worked! This is exactly the kind of thi...

By Revd 'Remi Tejumola Shalom! God gave to us a kind of authority that enables us to bind and to loose. Jesus puts it this way, "And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven" (Matthew 16:19). The word 'bind' here also mean 'forbid', and 'loose' also mean permit' or 'allow'. Whatever we decide is what God will back-up with us. Using Jesus' words, He said, "Whatsoever YOU shall bind ..." and "Whatsoever YOU shall loose ..." . Interpretation: Anything that YOU restrict on earth shall be restricted in heaven. Anything YOU place no restriction on earth, will be allowed by heaven to remain free. Most times when we talk about Binding and Loosening, Christians usually think about it in terms of devils and demons. But Jesus said, 'Whatsoever' . Anything. Anything yo...

By Revd 'Remi Tejumola Shalom! In 1986, I got to a seminar just after they had the benediction. Knowing that I missed the seminar, I made up my mind that I would still gain something from the venue. So I engaged some of the brothers in a deep scriptural discussion. We went as far as to say that, 'If God were to stop thinking about these grasses and flowers they would die.' Meaning that God is sustaining everything by His power. Suddenly, these words slipped out of my mouth, 'Did you know that it is the same percentage of enjoyment that people in heaven are having there that the people in hell will suffer?' We became speechless for like 5mins. It was a shocking revelation. But it's true. The apostle John said, "And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away" (Revelation 21:4). In His teachings, Jesus taught that ...

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...

By Revd 'Remi Tejumola Shalom! How long is eternity? This was a question I have asked people many times in the last few years during my programmes with different churches, to which they came up with several definitions, such as: for ever, world without end, infinity, everlasting, world without end, and untill the world comes to an end, etc. Finally I provided what I called the best definition: as long as God lives. That's how long eternity is. Which now brings the next question, Where will you spend eternity? Whether or not you like it, you are going to spend eternity somewhere. Will it be in heaven or will it be in hell? The decision is yours. God will not make this decision for you. It's your call. Jesus puts it like this, "And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned" (Mark 16:15-16). The matter of your salvation and eternity...

By Revd 'Remi Tejumola Shalom! What Jesus Himself will do is the same thing His name will accomplish. Let this statement sink into heart. Example 1 : "And, behold, there came a leper and worshipped him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean. And Jesus put forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will; be thou clean. And immediately his leprosy was cleansed" (Matthew 8:2-3). If a lepros person come to you for prayer, do exactly what Jesus did in His name. Say, In the name of Jesus Christ, be thou cleansed! Example 2 : "And when Jesus was come into Peter's house, he saw his wife's mother laid, and sick of a fever. And he touched her hand, and the fever left her: and she arose, and ministered unto them" (Matthew 8:15). Always follow Jesus example, using His name everytime, and the result will be the same. When you pray for the sick in His name, His name represent Him. You are also representing Jesus to that sick or needy fellow. You becom...

By Revd 'Remi Tejumola Shalom! Jesus said, "... Whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it" (John 14: 13-14). When it comes to prayer, Jesus wants us to talk directly with the Father in His name. He does not want us to pray to Him, Jesus. But here in John 14, He's saying that He will make sure that whatever we ask or demand in His name is done. He will go ahead and perform it. Example 1 : "Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk. And he took him by the right hand, and lifted him up: and immediately his feet and ancle bones received strength. And he leaping up stood, and walked, and entered with them into the temple, walking, and leaping, and praising God. And all the people saw him walking and praising God" (Acts 3:6-9). When you command things to be done in t...
