    2024/11/25

    BIBLE STUDY MIRACLES OF JESUS SERIES| THE FOURTH MIRACLE OF JESUS Pt.39| THE FEEDING OF 5,000 MEN WITH 5 LOAVES OF BARLEY BREAD AND 2 FISHES| CHIMDI OHAHUNA

    Welcome to the latest episode of the "Miracles of Jesus Bible Study Series," where we consider the miraculous works of Jesus Christ and uncover the profound lessons they hold. In this episode, we explore the miracle of feeding five thousand men, a pivotal event documented in John 6:10, Matthew 14:21, Mark 6:44, and Luke 9:14.

    Study Focus: The Significance of the Five Thousand Men.

    The number of men in this miracle is not just a statistic; it holds significant spiritual meaning. Numbers are a vital part of God's narrative from the Old Testament to the New Testament. In this study, we examine how God uses numbers and counts, and why He places importance on them.

    Key Points:

    - God Uses Numbers: Understanding the divine purpose behind numerical occurrences in the Bible.

    - God Counts: The biblical precedent for accounting and its spiritual implications.

    - God Counts People: Highlighting the intrinsic value God places on every individual.

    Numbers shape our lives and our faith. God's meticulous attention to detail, including numerical precision, mirrors the faith He expects us to hold—faith grounded in facts and the miraculous.

    Why Does God Count People?

    The first and foremost reason is love. God counts people because they matter to Him. Discover the following in this episode:

    - The biblical basis for God's emphasis on numbers, illustrating His profound love for humanity (Exodus 13; Romans 5:8).

    - How neglecting numerical precision can affect our relationship with God.

    - The value and significance of mankind to God, rooted in scriptures like Genesis 1:26-27 and Psalm 8:4-5.

    God's Love and Counting:

    God's act of becoming flesh occurred during a census, underscoring the importance of counting (Matthew 28:19-20). He counts on us to manifest His will on earth, reinforcing the symbiotic relationship of love and responsibility, sonship and servanthood.

    Sonship and Servanthood:

    When God counts us, He affirms our identity as His children. When He counts on us, He entrusts us with His mission. This miracle calls us to embrace both our rights as sons and our responsibilities as servants.

    Join us in this enlightening episode as we uncover how the miracle of feeding five thousand men is a testament to God's intricate design, love, and the vital role of numbers in our spiritual journey.

    Tune in and be inspired to take a step back, sit down, and seek the divine insight needed to impact the lives around you.

  • TRUSTING WITHOUT SEEING: The Challenge of Godly Obedience
    2024/11/19
    BIBLE STUDY| MIRACLES OF JESUS SERIES.|THE FOURTH MIRACLE OF JESUS pt.38| THE FEEDING OF 5,000 MEN WITH 5 LOAVES OF BREAD AND 2 FISHES| CHIMDI OHAHUNA "Focus: So the Men Sat Down" Welcome to yet another enlightening episode in our Miracles of Jesus series as we study further into John 6:10, exploring the profound lesson of obedience and faith. In a world driven by supply chains and demands, we uncover the spiritual truths that highlight the importance of sitting in obedience to God’s divine command. Until we pause to align ourselves with His will, we may fail to see the abundance that God has prepared for us. In this thought-provoking study, we examine how a supply without a demand leads to an imbalance in our spiritual lives. Just as economic systems thrive on the balance of these elements, so does our faith require a response to God’s call—a demand for faith that is both empowering and essential. Chimdi also shares insights on the compelling necessity of obedience, as articulated by Apostle Paul, and how our faith journey hinges on understanding and fulfilling the divine expectations placed upon us. Discover the paradox that faith often negates reason and how true obedience manifests as an act of faith—one that defies rationality and challenges the status quo. As we discuss Romans 4:9, we reveal how a strong faith disregards natural inclinations and pushes us beyond our comfort zones. You will also learn that obedience leads us away from self-reliance, urging us to trust completely in God's plan, just as the Israelites did when they approached the Red Sea without hesitation. In God, we find our only certainty and security, enabling us to move forward with confidence. This episode emphasizes the transformative power of obedience as we uncover how it unlocks divine instructions, turning them from mere words into tangible manifestations of God’s promise. Drawing from Isaiah 1:19, discover how genuine faith coupled with obedience allows us to fully partake in the goodness of Christ. Beloved, we invite you to see obedience as a place of rest—a seated position signifying trust in Christ’s finished work. With biblical references from Luke, Acts, Hebrews, and Ephesians, we illustrate how genuine faith is rooted in this resting posture, empowering you to engage with God from a place of authority. Tune in for a powerful journey that will inspire you to deepen your faith and embrace the essential call to obedience, ultimately leading you to experience the fullness of God’s grace and provision in your life.

  • THE GRASS THAT SUSTAINS: Jesus' Call to Sit on His Revelation
    2024/11/17
    BIBLE STUDY| MIRACLES OF JESUS SERIES.|THE FOURTH MIRACLE OF JESUS pt.37| THE FEEDING OF 5,000 MEN WITH 5 LOAVES OF BREAD AND 2 FISHES| CHIMDI OHAHUNA "Focus: There Was Much Grass. (Pt. 2b)" Welcome to this installment of our enlightening series on the Miracles of Jesus! In this episode, we study deeper into the powerful significance of John 6:10, exploring how God provides exactly what we need for our faith to flourish. Discover the profound truth that God supplies us with our daily "grass" — the essential provisions and insights that nurture our relationship with Him and enable us to act in unwavering faith. Just as grass grows, so does our faith, and understanding this dynamic is vital as we continue on our spiritual journey. Also, join us as we explore Psalm 102:4, 10, and 11, which offer a poignant prayer for the afflicted. You'll learn that recognizing Christ in every scripture is crucial; any misinterpretation may stem from a spiritual eye defect only the Holy Spirit can mend. Discover more in this session, the importance of biblical canonization in the interpretation of scripture, we turn our attention to the parallels between the grass and the sufferings of Christ. Through His agony—from Gethsemane to the Cross—Jesus became the embodiment of human affliction. Isaiah 53:5 reminds us that He bore our sorrows, granting us the promise of eternal life, as eloquently expressed in John 3:16. In addition, discover how Christ Jesus, who endured the transient death of man, offers us not only salvation but also a rich, living experience of eternal life here on Earth. We invite you to sit down on the "much grass," which symbolizes an invitation to rest in the revelation of Christ's sacrificial love, ensuring that we need not suffer as He did. This episode highlights ten (10) key areas of suffering that Jesus experienced and overcame, which, through His grace, we are invited not to endure: 1. Being despised 2. Being rejected 3. Sorrow 4. Grief 5. Affliction 6. Wounds 7. Transgressions 8. Bruises 9. Lack/loss of peace 10. Eternal death If you're ready to deepen your understanding of Christ's profound sacrifice and what it means for our daily lives, tune in for this enlightening study.

  • WHEN PAIN MEETS PURPOSE: Discovering Faith Beyond Our Needs
    2024/11/06

    THE POTTER'S HAND| Embracing the Journey| Suffering for & with Christ| Discipleship |CHIMDI OHAHUNA


    In this thought-provoking episode of The Potter's Hand, we consider the The Weight of Suffering and the Glory of God by looking into the profound relationship between faith, suffering, and the authentic nature of our connection with God. As we explore Scripture—particularly Romans 5:18 and Hebrews 10:38—we challenge the notion that our faith should be primarily based on our needs being met. Instead, we invite you to reframe how you meet with God, focusing on relational needs, transcending physical, emotional, and psychological expectations.

    Discover the concept of vain glory—examine how the fleeting praises of men can lead us astray. In contrast, true glory emerges from our willingness to suffer alongside Christ. Also, discover how suffering plays an essential role in God’s structural work within us, a divine process that is not rooted in wickedness or torture but is rather an opportunity for growth and transformation.

    Also, this teaching confronts the uncomfortable truth that many people may come to Christ with empty promises and superficial explorations. Like the Centurion who stood vigilant at the foot of the Cross, we must be willing to embrace genuine suffering for the sake of righteousness to truly lead others to Him.

    As we navigate 1 Peter 3:14-17, we shed light on the trials that come from doing good and the challenges faced by Christians who compromise due to fear of suffering. Is it shameful to suffer for doing wrong, or is it far more glorious to endure hardship for the sake of righteousness? Also we reflect on 1 Peter 4:16-19, reminding ourselves to glorify God even when facing shame for our beliefs.

    Listen for a compelling discussion that may reshape your understanding of suffering, glory, and the nature of your relationship with God. It’s time to embrace the journey and discover the beauty that emerges from enduring trials for His sake. Tune in, reflect, and let The Potter's Hand mold you into the vessel He intends you to be!

  • REVIVAL THROUGH SUFFERING: How Suffering Shapes Our Purpose
    2024/11/04

    THE POTTER'S HAND| Embracing the Journey| Suffering for & with Christ| Discipleship |CHIMDI OHAHUNA

    In this thought-provoking new episode of The POTTER'S HAND podcast, join us as we focus on the profound concept of value through the lens of faith and resilience. Beloved, Value is what people place on you, not what people put on you and it is derived from the Finished Work of Christ. This episode explores the intricacies of self-worth, divine purpose, and the spiritual journey through suffering.

    Discover how society often tries to undermine our intrinsic worth by trivializing what we have to offer. Our value as children of God is not defined by external opinions but is sourced from our identity in Christ. Prepare to challenge the notion that our worth is up for negotiation and instead embrace the understanding that each hurt and hardship is woven into our greater narrative.

    Listeners will discover that every painful experience is not in vain—each one plays a crucial role in shaping our character and mission. The teaching highlights the transformative nature of suffering, emphasizing that if we glean wisdom from our struggles, we emerge stronger and more purposeful. If we overlook these lessons, however, we risk losing sight of our potential.

    Revival often strikes in the most unconventional ways. As we reflect on the magnetic power of spiritual gifts, we’ll underline the importance of grounding ourselves in the Word of God for sustained growth and understanding. This episode challenges the prevailing notion of fitting in; instead, we celebrate the beauty of standing out and fulfilling our God-given purpose without succumbing to societal pressures.

    Additionally, we’ll confront the realities of misunderstanding that arise when either a purpose or a person isn't fully grasped. Originality and authenticity often come through the fire of suffering—the very trials that prepare us for a life marked by divine manifestation. As silver must be refined, so too must we undergo seasons of refining to align with our multidimensional calling.

    A true relationship with the Holy Spirit is essential to navigate this process. In this episode, we urge listeners to embrace the journey, recognizing that the path of suffering is often the prelude to spiritual impartation. We reflect on the words of Jesus from Luke 9:23 that call us to pick up our crosses, reminding us that true faith often demands sacrifice for a greater purpose.

    Ultimately, this episode serves as a powerful reminder that every trial we face in our walk with faith is a stepping stone toward a deeper connection with God and the rewards that await us. A crown of life is promised to those who endure, and together, discover how to keep the faith through the suffering.

    Tune in for an enriching teaching filled with hope, insight, and a renewed perspective on your value and the transformative power of God in suffering. Join us on this journey of discovering who you are meant to be in Christ. Subscribe now to The POTTER'S HAND and be part of a community that seeks to understand and live out the truth of our faith.

  • COUNTERFEITS OF FAITH: How to Differentiate Between Good and God
    2024/10/31

    DISCIPLESHIP COURSE|STUDY OF THE WORDS AND LIFE OF JESUS IN SYNOPTIC GOSPEL |UPGRADE |CHIMDI OHAHUNA

    Understanding God, Trials, and Temptations

    Welcome to the latest episode of our enlightening series, WORDS OF JESUS, where we deeply consider Jesus's second words and explore the complexities of faith, trials, and the nature of God’s testing. In today’s episode, we tackle a crucial question: Can God tempt us? Many believers struggle with divine testing versus demonic temptation, and we unpack the significant difference that can shape our understanding of God’s character and our response to life’s challenges.

    Join us as we explore the biblical truth that while God may test us through trials, He does not tempt us with evil. This throws light on how the term "the tempter" is consistently associated with the devil throughout scripture, emphasizing that God’s nature is not to lead us into temptation but to guide us through our adversities. We reflect on the story of Job, highlighting that God’s boasting about him led to trials administered by Satan, who used evil as his method of testing.

    With insightful analysis, we differentiate between temptation and trial, showing that while trials can lead to growth and strength, the temptation is laced with evil and designed to lead us astray. We discuss how the devil cleverly disguises his traps in the appearance of good, which can be challenging for believers navigating their faith journey.

    Learn why it’s essential to discern between what is simply “good” and divinely “perfect.” We explore the depth of God’s gifts, which are not only good but perfect and acceptable, stressing that when we settle for merely good, we risk being deceived by the enemy.

    Empower yourself with transformative truths as we encourage you to pursue not just good—but the perfect will of God in your life. Discover how to recognize and reject the counterfeit offerings of the enemy and embrace the genuine goodness that comes from our Creator.

    Tune in for thoughtful discussions, biblical insights, and practical applications that will help you strengthen your faith and navigate the challenges of life with clarity and confidence. Remember, when we choose God, we choose the good, acceptable, and perfect gifts He has in store for us. Don't miss this enlightening episode, where we uncover the truth behind testing, temptation, and the goodness of God!

  • FAMILY AS A HEALING GROUND: The Garden of Eden's Influence on Family Life
    2024/10/28

    THE FAMILY THE HOME| 2024 SERIES|DAY 6|RESTORING FAMILY HEALTH| FUNKE OHAHUNA

    Welcome to “The Family The Home Series” a podcast dedicated to reshaping our understanding of family as a unit and as a divine design for service and healing. This episode covers into the profound concept that every family is named under the Father God, and the man is entrusted with the sacred responsibility of leadership, guidance, and management, primarily dedicated to fostering an environment of love and care.

    Discover the intricate meaning of the word “household” derived from the Greek term “therapeia,” linking our homes to the essential practice of therapy— a love-engendered service rendered from one to another in the home. Many of us overlook our families as spaces for service and healing; instead, we often see them merely as social units tied by blood. Yet, as we examine God’s intentions for the family, we reveal that it is intricately designed to be a sanctuary for healing.

    In this podcast, we draw connections between spiritual nourishment and practical healing found within the home—encompassing emotional, psychological, and even financial well-being. Our discussions highlight how the role of a father—or any family leader—is not just to provide materially but also to offer emotional support, healing words, and unconditional love, rejuvenating both relationships and individual self-esteem.

    The session features stories, testimonials, and insights illustrating how emotional connections and verbal affirmations can be transformative. For instance, we discuss the impact of a father’s words on a child’s self-worth and the detrimental effects of neglect in a family setting. We also emphasize the need for balance—understanding that while financial provision is vital, time and emotional investment are equally crucial to the health of the family unit.

    Listeners will benefit from practical tips on how to engage with family members meaningfully, creating a home environment reminiscent of the Garden of Eden, filled with healing provisions. We also explore the importance of teamwork and delegation within the family structure, much like roles in a hospital, where various responsibilities are shared to ensure comprehensive care.

    With guidance from scriptures and the Holy Spirit, this podcast aims to empower believers especially the men to embrace their roles as healers and nurturers in their homes—not as superheroes but as managers of a loving and thriving family environment.

    This revelation will transform our homes into places of healing, understanding that through service, love, and purposeful communication, we can bring about profound change. Listen now and take your first step toward a healthier family dynamic!

  • Serving One Another: The Key to Unlocking True Family Connection
    2024/10/26

    THE FAMILY THE HOME| 2024 SERIES|DAY 5|SERVICE ENGENDERED BY LOVE| FUNKE OHAHUNA

    In this episode of "The Family The Home Summit," We discussed service in the home, emphasizing the importance of mutual love and support within family dynamics. Drawing on biblical teachings from Galatians 5 and the story of Joseph, you will discover what hierarchical family structures entail and highlight the dangers of envy and jealousy. As we reflect on God's design for family relationships, you will also understand how true service should be motivated by love.


    Here are the key takeaways:

    1. Mutual Service Rooted in Love: Service in the home should be a mutual act of love, not a hierarchical duty. Galatians 5:13 reminds us to "serve one another in love," breaking away from the senior-junior mentality.

    2. Defining True Service: Service is about helpful acts and contributions to others' welfare, driven by love. When love is the foundation, service becomes a joyful and fulfilling part of family life.

    3. The Role of Love: Love should be an inherent quality in family interactions, not just a preached topic. True liberty in Christ empowers us to serve others selflessly, avoiding self-centered behavior.

    4. Mutual Support & Encouragement: Service involves lifting each other up, celebrating successes, and supporting during tough times. The story of Joseph and his brothers highlights the dangers of envy and the importance of love.

    5. Training in Love: Teaching children to love one another fosters a healthier family dynamic. A love-centered approach to parenting leads to a more harmonious family environment.

    6. The Command to Love: Galatians 5:14 calls us to "love thy neighbor as thyself," extending this love to our family members. Love is a command from God, not just a suggestion, and should guide all family interactions.


    Curiosities & Thought-Provoking Points

    a) Liberty in Christ: How does true freedom allow us to serve one another selflessly?

    b) Jealousy & Envy: What can we learn from Joseph’s story about the impact of envy in families?

    c) Parental Role: How can parents model love and service effectively for their children?


    Why You Should Listen

    This episode is a heartfelt exploration of how we can embody the love of God in our homes. It’s a call to action for families to reflect on their dynamics and strive for a nurturing environment where love and service are at the forefront. Whether you’re a parent, sibling, or someone who values family, this discussion offers valuable insights and practical advice. We encourage families to embody the principles of faith, hope, and love, fostering an environment where each member feels valued and supported.
