We focus on the significance of spiritual gifts and their impact on the lives of believers. This session emphasizes that the gifts of the Holy Spirit, including the Gift of Faith, are inherently given to every child of God and cannot be earned through acts like fasting or prayer. Rather, these spiritual gifts are embedded within us, and as we cultivate spiritual maturity, manifesting and maintaining these gifts becomes a natural process. Key learning points include: - Differentiating between the rudimentary faith received at new birth and the extraordinary Gift of Faith, which empowers believers to confront significant challenges with confidence. - Highlighting the importance of spiritual maturity, not only in discovering our gifts but also in utilizing them effectively throughout our lives. - Understanding how an individual's gifts are inherently connected to their unique natural strengths and how focusing on these strengths amplifies our faith journey. - Recognizing the extraordinary potential of the Gift of Faith, which allows believers to accomplish remarkable feats and experience God's presence in impactful ways. Our insights will draw from the commentaries of F.B. Meyer and John Gill, which reveal how God works through His gifts, enabling us to communicate and act with divine authority. This episode will inspire you to fully embrace and utilize your spiritual gifts, fostering a deeper connection with God that leads to extraordinary outcomes.

THE BOOK OF RUTH| GOD'S RESTORATION PLAN| Preservation and Prospective Living| Discipleship |Session-19| 2025| CHIMDI OHAHUNA Welcome to another episode where we draw lessons and focus on Ruth 1:7-11 and Job 29:18, highlighting the themes of preservation, the importance of a prospective mindset, and the actions that align us with God's will. In life's journey, preservation is our greatest priority, especially in times of distress. Life is far more valuable than luxury. As believers, understanding this principle is crucial. When you're facing challenges or experiencing hardships, reveals that God is boasting about you. Every challenge you encounter is a sign of God's trust in you. Rather than merely observing the difficulties surrounding you, concentrate on what God is doing. Your trials shouldn't be interpreted as defeat, but as a testimony of God's confidence in you. Just as Job faced immense suffering yet remained steadfast, we too can find strength in the assurance that God has a purpose for our lives during trying times. In Job 29, we discover that God has secret things meant for us that align our paths and destinies. When the secret of God is upon your tabernacle, it directs you towards your purpose. It's vital to seek these divine secrets. True faith manifests through action. Helping the poor or those who are vulnerable should be a natural response in our lives, aligning with the compassionate heart of God. Living solely in retrospect hinders our ability to perceive God's preservation in our lives. It can create a cycle of depression, as we become obsessed with what has been lost rather than focusing on the present and the future that God offers. Every moment spent grieving over the past is essentially a moment wasted. Instead, we must make the present count. Living in the past can trap us in a denial of our future. God calls us to look forward, to embrace a prospective life. When we approach God, we should come with the expectation of what He can do next in our lives rather than dwelling on stale memories. Prospect invigorates our spirits; it fuels our desire to fulfill our God-given destinies. The dangers of becoming ensnared in retrospective thinking can be likened to a cancer that slowly erodes our hope and joy. Every time we entertain thoughts of regret or loss, we risk giving power to those negative feelings. In contrast, a prospective mindset leads us to engage positively with God's promises. An example is the story of the prodigal son, who despite losing everything, found the courage to return to his father with a prospective heart. Regardless of the losses you may have experienced, there is always hope for the present and the future. Recognize that God's grace is sufficient, and with it, you can embrace your journey moving forward. Moreover, depression often finds its roots in a retrospective viewpoint where one engages deeply with past failures and disappointments, allowing the enemy to sow seeds of despair. Instead, choose to engage with God, viewing your past through the lens of God's unending love and future potential. This teaching reveals that preservation is life, not merely luxury. Every challenge we face is an opportunity to demonstrate God's mighty hand at work. Seek the secrets of God, engage actively with those in need, and choose to live prospectively. Your future is bright as long as you remain focused on what lies ahead. Embrace God's promises, let them guide your steps, and remember, no matter the trials or losses you may face, the potential for a beautiful future remains firmly in your grasp. Thank you for joining and listening to the full teaching session. Carry these lessons from Ruth with you as you navigate your own life journey, and let God's preservation and purpose shine brightly in all that you do.

THE BOOK OF RUTH| GOD'S RESTORATION PLAN| Living the Message | Discipleship |Session-17 2025| CHIMDI OHAHUNA Join us in this insightful session as we continue our study of the Book of Ruth, with a special focus on Ruth 1:7 and the significant reflections found in 1 John 1:1. In this teaching episode, discover how revealing Christ in our lives leads to authentic decisions to follow Him, rather than merely responding to an invitation. KEY HIGHLIGHTS: - The Distinction Between the Called and the Chosen: We emphasize that while many hear the call, it is essential for each person to consciously choose to embrace Jesus and become part of the chosen. This choice is vital to avoid being lost in the crowd of those simply called. - Redefining Rest: Our conversation challenges the notion that food and earthly comforts equate to true rest and profit. We highlight the importance of understanding that manipulation to seize what grace offers ultimately leads to instability and inability to maintain what is gained. - Embracing Grace: We reflect on the dangers of stepping away from grace and how this can result in unnecessary struggles and loss of peace. Recognizing that rest comes from Christ is crucial, especially when external provisions may seem inadequate. - Finding True Rest in Christ: As we navigate life's challenges, we reassure listeners that the only source of genuine rest is Jesus Christ. His presence provides steadfast peace, regardless of circumstances. This session invites you to deepen your understanding of the choices you make in your faith journey.

THE BOOK OF RUTH| GOD'S RESTORATION PLAN| Living the Message | Discipleship |Session-16 2025| CHIMDI OHAHUNA Welcome to another enlightening session of the GRACELIFECOMI Podcast, where we continue our study on the Book of Ruth. In this episode, we focus on Ruth 1:7 and the companionship between Ruth and Orpah as they assist Naomi. Key Highlights: 1. The Nature of Membership:    We reflect on the contrast between denominational membership and being a part of the body of Christ. While denominational affiliations can be fluid, true membership in the body of Christ is static—grounded and rooted in Him. Being part of this body signifies permanence and stability in our faith journey. 2. Influencing Others:    Our lives should naturally attract those seeking Christ. If our presence does not draw people toward Him, it indicates a need for deeper spiritual growth. As we allow Christ to be formed in us, we become vessels of encouragement for others, leading them to refreshment in Him. 3. The Burden of Vision:    We discuss the weight of the vision God places in our hearts. Just as Ruth and Orpah assisted Naomi with her burdens, we too will need support as we carry out God's vision for our lives. Ministry and life journeys can feel heavy, but having a community is vital for overcoming challenges. 4. The Weight of Spiritual Commitment:    Engaging deeply with the Word of God and dedicating time to prayer is one of the heaviest responsibilities in ministry. In this session, we emphasize that our first act of ministry is to share what we desire from God, promoting a cycle of giving and receiving. 5. Challenges of the Journey:    As we age and face life's difficulties, even light burdens can become heavy. We highlight the importance of pursuing God's calling and the risks associated with following paths outside of His will. 6. The Impact of Our Walk:    Our daily choices plant seeds in the lives of those we encounter. Revealing Christ to others not only benefits them but also enhances our own spiritual growth. The way we represent Christ directly influences the support we receive on our journey. 7. The Essence of Assistance:    Finally, we remind listeners that the kind of Christ we reveal determines the assistance we receive. By truly unveiling Jesus to others, we open doors to the help needed to continue our mission. Join us for this profound session as we draw lessons from Ruth's loyalty and service, understanding how our own journeys reflect the importance of community, commitment, and the power of revealing Christ in our daily lives. Don't miss out! Subscribe to the GRACELIFECOMI Podcast for more insightful teachings as we navigate through the Book of Ruth and beyond.

Chimdi and Funke will challenge the common view of God as a distant entity, illustrating instead how He yearns for a personal connection with each of us. They will also reflect on John 1:11, emphasizing the impact of Jesus coming to His own and not being received, highlighting the pain of disconnection between God and humanity. With heartfelt discussions and personal anecdotes, the hosts will remind us that God is deeply engaged with the human experience.

THE BOOK OF RUTH| GOD'S RESTORATION PLAN| Living the Message | Discipleship |Session-14 2025| CHIMDI OHAHUNA Welcome to this episode of our teaching session on the Book of Ruth, where we engage with profound truths that shape our Christian walk. Today, we will focus on Ruth 1:6-7 and 1 John 1:1, emphasizing that characterless Christianity fails to reveal Christ effectively. This session is titled “So Much Preaching and So Little Living”, a reflection on the challenges facing the Church today. Key Lesson Points: 1. God's Schooling: The School of the Spirit - Unlike traditional Bible school, God's true education occurs in the school of the Spirit through our life experiences. This emphasizes the importance of allowing our lives to be influenced by the Holy Spirit rather than just accumulating knowledge. 2. Impact Beyond Words - 2 Corinthians 3:18 teaches us that people are not moved by eloquent words but by transformed lives. As Christians, our witness must extend beyond sermons and teachings; it must be demonstrated through our actions and the way we live. 3. Naomi's Exemplary Life - Naomi serves as a powerful example of what it means to be a message from God. Her return to Bethlehem, filled with faith and resilience, communicated more about Yahweh than any spoken word could. This illustrates that our lives can serve as testimonies of God's faithfulness. 4. Being the Message - We are all called to embody the message of Christ in our daily lives. When you live authentically as a follower of Jesus, your life transforms into a double effect — your actions preach as loudly as your words. 5. The Challenge of Pursuit - In our pursuits for livelihood and sustenance, can we still remain the message of Christ? Like Naomi, our commitment to reflecting Christ should not waver, even when we are focused on meeting our physical needs. 6. Authenticity as Witness - When people see and hear us, do they recognize the truth of the Gospel? Our authenticity and integrity as believers are crucial in pointing others to Christ. As we explore Naomi's story in this session, let's reflect on how we can be living messages of faith, hope, and love in our communities. May our actions resonate with the heart of God, showing others that believing in Christ is more than just a proclamation; it is a lifestyle characterized by His presence. Join us for this impactful teaching session, and let's deepen our understanding of how to live out our faith authentically.

WORD EXPLOSION| 2025 Edition | Session -3| ENLIGHTENED LIVING|CHIMDI & FUNKE OHAHUNA Welcome to Word Explosion 2025 Edition, where we embark on an intense and enlightening journey through the Book of John like never before! Join your hosts, Chimdi and Funke Ohahuna, on the GRACELIFECOMI podcast as we study the spiritual truths embedded in one of the most profound texts of the New Testament. In Session 3, we focus on John 1:9 and consider the concept of "ENLIGHTEN" — a call to not only understand but to embrace the spiritual insights that Jesus communicates. As we unpack the idea that Jesus Christ is the God-Man who transcended earthly limitations, we examine how He continues to embody both divine and human nature, even in Heaven. Our discussion highlights that while Jesus employed parables and physical illustrations, His essence was always rooted in conveying spiritual truth. Through thoughtful analysis of various translations, we affirm that, as stated in John 6:63, the essence of His messages is spirit and life. Here, we illustrate that the spiritual realm gives meaning to our physical experiences. We reflect on the paradox that while the preaching of the cross may seem foolish to some, it is undeniably "the power of God" to those who are being saved (1 Corinthians 1:18). Join us as we reveal how faith allows us to comprehend divine realities — as outlined in Hebrews 11:3 — showcasing the profound connection between spiritual understanding and our earthly experiences. In Matthew 4:4, we learn that our sustenance comes not from physical bread alone, but from every word that flows from the mouth of God. Our discussion will also include powerful insights from John 8:3-9 and Hebrews 4:11, emphasizing that the Word of God is a powerful tool, sharper than any two-edged sword, capable of discerning the depths of our hearts and intentions. We will uncover how spirituality positions us to see beyond the surface, understanding the thoughts that lie within and the power of Jesus' knowledge.

This study goes beyond the surface, providing an expository examination designed for believers eager for a fuller understanding of Jesus Christ and His teachings. In Session 2, we focus on John 1:9 through the perspective of the TCNT translation. Here, we reveal the incredible purpose of Jesus—He came to enlighten and instruct all humanity toward eternal success, which can only be found in Him. Our discussion will reflect on essential teachings derived from Matthew 5:2-9 and Mark 9:31a, underscoring that Jesus' ministry is characterized more by His teachings than His miracles. When illuminated by the truth of God's Word, we become living testimonies, just like the first Apostles. We will also examine the essence of preaching and teaching. According to Matthew 28:19-20, preaching is about presenting Jesus—the Word of God—while teaching involves a deeper explanation of His truths. Throughout this session, we will explore what Jesus revealed about: 1. The Father God: Discover how Jesus unveils the nature of the Father through His actions, affirming that He is the only true revelation of God (John 14:7-9; John 14:6). Learn how Acts 10:38 illustrates that God's nature is fundamentally good and healing. 2. The Kingdom of God: Understand Jesus' passionate instruction regarding God's Kingdom as recorded in Mark 1:14-15 and how we must embody these teachings, reflecting God's rule and reign in our lives (Romans 14:17; Mark 10:17-18; Matthew 16:16). As we engage with the Scriptures, we will remind ourselves that we are more than mere imitators of Christ. His essence resides in us, empowering us to live a life that truly reflects Him—not just appearing like Christ, but embodying His very presence.

BIBLE STUDY| MIRACLES OF JESUS SERIES.|THE FOURTH MIRACLE OF JESUS pt.47| THE FEEDING OF 5,000 MEN WITH 5 LOAVES OF BREAD AND 2 FISHES| CHIMDI OHAHUNA Welcome back to another enlightening session of the Miracles of Jesus Bible study, where we explore the profound teachings of Christ and their relevance in our lives today. In this episode, we center our attention on the powerful message found in John 6:11, where Jesus exhibits the miraculous act of distribution, not just of five Barley loaves and two small fishes, but of His divine gifts to us, His disciples and successors. Join us as we examine the significance of gifts imparted by the Holy Spirit, referencing 1 Corinthians 12:4-11 and 28. These gifts are not mere tokens of grace; they are essential tools for ministry with the purpose of building the body of Christ. The Holy Spirit takes joy in bestowing a variety of gifts within the Church, ensuring that every disciple has a pivotal role in God's design (1 Corinthians 12:12-14). Throughout this study session, we will contemplate important questions: What has Jesus divided among us? How does the Holy Spirit initiate our adoption into the Beloved (family of God)?

BIBLE STUDY| MIRACLES OF JESUS SERIES.|THE FOURTH MIRACLE OF JESUS pt.45| THE FEEDING OF 5,000 MEN WITH 5 LOAVES OF BREAD AND 2 FISHES| CHIMDI OHAHUNA In this enlightening new episode of our Miracles of Jesus Bible Study series, we explore the profound message encapsulated in John 6:11 and 1 Corinthians 13:9-12. We examine the striking reality that, no matter our efforts, we can never fully testify to the entirety of Jesus Christ. Why? Because we all possess only broken fragments of the Bread of Life. As written in 1 Corinthians 3:18, we recognize that no single individual holds the complete revelation of Christ; instead, we are all stewards of limited insights, which can only be fully revealed within a community of believers, in the unity of faith. But what keeps these pieces from coming together? The enemy relentlessly works to undermine the unity of faith within the body of Christ, disconnecting us from the crucial synergy that is necessary to reveal the Living Bread. Our highest challenge in grasping the full revelation of Christ lies in our mortality. Knowledge, though valuable, is not the ultimate advantage; grace is the true power that enables us to experience Christ more fully. So what are these broken loaves distributed to us by Christ? According to Romans 12:3, Jesus has gifted every one of His disciples with a measure of faith. This limited portion serves a divine purpose: it compels us to continually seek Him for more. Ironically, this small measure of faith, when nurtured through relationship and fellowship, possesses the astounding ability to move mountains. Join us for an enlightening study as we focus on these themes, encouraging you to embrace your broken parts, lean into community, and cultivate the faith that connects us all. Discover how together, we can transcend our individual limitations and witness the miraculous work of the Living Bread in our lives and communities. Tune in now and be part of a journey toward unity, revelation, and the incredible power of faith distributed among us!

THE BOOK OF RUTH| GOD'S RESTORATION PLAN| The True Essence of Home| When Association Deter Our Purpose and Vision|Session-12 2025| CHIMDI OHAHUNA Welcome back to another simple yet profound episode of our ongoing exploration of the Book of Ruth! In this thought-provoking installment, we dig deep into the critical understanding of when associations can become distractions from our divine purpose and vision. Discover in this teaching, the reality that true readiness for pursuing God's vision often requires a willingness to walk alone. Our discussion will emphasize that while many may witness the light of our calling, it is the one who listens to the voice of God that truly understands the path ahead. Drawing from Habakkuk 3, also receive light that when God's vision brings blessings into your life, no association can strip them away. Taking a close look at Naomi's profound vision to return home, showcasing how changing associations did not deter her from the end goal that God had instilled within her. In this teaching, we explore the promise in Jeremiah 1:5—that God saw something magnificent in each of us long before our birth, and how understanding this can help us recognize the permanence of divine vision over temporary associations. Are you struggling with feelings of helplessness? This episode will empower you by reinforcing how being conscious of God's help can make those feelings dissolve. We will confront the challenging truth that God's vision can lead us through difficult times, placing us in moments of solitude where we can truly connect with Him. With a focus on the relational aspect of the Church, we'll pose a vital question: when does association become confusion? Are we prioritizing our relationships at the expense of our vision? Jesus Christ exemplified that vision should serve as the foundation for our associations, compelling us to adhere to our divine purpose until we fully embody it ourselves. It's a powerful reminder that a man of vision, while aligned with God, is not afraid of solitude. In examining Ruth and Orpah's choices to follow Naomi—the embodiment of vision—this teaching challenges us to transition from merely discussing and writing about the vision to actually becoming it. Just as eagles soar alone, sometimes we must detach from associations that do not align with our God-given vision to attract those who do. This teaching session climaxes on Acts 1:8, where Christ instructs us to be not just the bearers of the vision but living testimonies of it. In this episode, we promise you insights that challenge conventional thinking and invite you to embrace your unique journey towards becoming the vision that others can see and follow. Tune in, and let's soar together! Don't forget to subscribe, share, and leave a review! Join us in this eleventh episode of the Book of Ruth series and uncover the timeless lessons it holds for our lives today. Grace to You! Jesus is Lord.

In this episode, we study further into Ruth 1:6-7, exploring a nuanced perspective on Naomi's journey from Bethlehem to Moab. This teaching reveals the profound implications of Naomi's departure, which was catalyzed not by the allure of abundant provision, but through her submission to her husband, Elimelech. Despite finding herself in the land of plenty, Naomi's heart longed for the true home she left behind - Bethlehem, the place representing the center of God's will. Discover the essence of what it means to ‘return home' spiritually and emotionally. As we explore the concept that, true home is not merely a physical location, but a state of being in alignment with God's will, echoing the truths found in Romans 12:1-2. For those of us living and moving in Christ, our ‘home' is defined by our relationship with Him rather than our geographical circumstances. In this episode, we will also reflect on the transformative power of God's will, recognizing that it can turn even the most barren land fruitful, while leading away from His purpose can make the most abundant land desolate. This teaching encourages us to pursue the will of God fervently, rather than merely seeking survival or personal desires. Discover also the depth of God's mercy, as highlighted in Isaiah 57:15-16, and how His mercy manifests in our lives through the gift of Jesus Christ. By acknowledging the foundation of mercy that has always existed in Christ, we will encourage our audience to actively seek a deeper relationship with Him daily. Whether you find yourself in a place of plenty or facing life's challenges, this episode aims to guide you back to the heart of God's will - your true home. So, tune in as we embark on this spiritual journey, discovering the blessings and mercy that await us in Christ Jesus. Don't forget to subscribe, share, and leave a review!

BIBLE STUDY| MIRACLES OF JESUS SERIES |THE FOURTH MIRACLE OF JESUS pt.44 | THE FEEDING OF 5,000 MEN WITH 5 LOAVES OF BREAD AND 2 FISHES| CHIMDI OHAHUNA Welcome back to another inspiring episode of the GRACELIFECOMI PODCAST as we continue our series on the Miracles of Jesus. In today's thought-provoking episode titled “God's Economy of Sharing,” we explore the profound truth that true blessings unfold when we share what we have been given. Have you ever considered that some people possess an abundance yet remain hesitant to distribute their blessings? The reality is, the more we give, the more we receive. This episode reveals the miraculous connection between a young boy with five barley loaves and two small fish, the disciples (Andrew and Philip), Jesus Christ, and the enormous crowd that was fed. From the very beginning, God established a divine mandate for humanity: as described in Genesis 1:28, He empowered us with the Blessing to be distributors of His goodness to the world. We will unpack how this concept of distributorship was initiated with the first Adam and culminated with the last Adam—Jesus Christ—highlighting how these relationships play a crucial role in our understanding of service and giving. We will also dissect the distribution line that connects us to God's plan: - The Father God as the Producer - Jesus Christ as the Wholesaler - His Disciples as the Retailers As modern-day disciples, we have a vital role to play as retailers of the gospel—each possessing unique gifts to reach diverse audiences. We mustn't get caught up in the temptation of chasing after congregations or denominations, but rather focus on serving those who need the message of Christ's love and grace. Join us as we emphasize that every believer, regardless of their perceived size or influence, is an essential outlet for God's miraculous work. Remember, no disciple received a whole loaf or a full fish from Jesus; instead, we are all entrusted with broken pieces destined to nourish the masses around us. Tune in to this transformative episode and discover how the principles of Miraculous Distribution can ignite a powerful ministry in your life and empower you to be a conduit for divine blessings. Don't miss this opportunity to learn how to effectively distribute the abundance of God's love and grace in your life! Subscribe, share, and let's embark on this journey together!

BIBLE STUDY| MIRACLES OF JESUS SERIES |THE FOURTH MIRACLE OF JESUS pt.43 | THE FEEDING OF 5,000 MEN WITH 5 LOAVES OF BREAD AND 2 FISHES| CHIMDI OHAHUNA Join us for another insightful episode of the Miracles of Jesus Bible Study Series, where we look into the profound meanings behind vital biblical passages. In this episode, we explore the powerful stories from John 6:11, Matthew 14:19, Luke 9:16, and Mark 6:41 that highlight the miracle of the feeding of the 5,000. Central to this teaching is the concept of "Blessed," derived from the Greek word “Eulogio,” which encompasses the ideas of speaking well of, thanking, prospering, and invoking benedictions. Discover the dual nature of blessings—how both God and Man interact through this sacred term. When God blesses Mankind, He invokes favor upon us, while when we bless God, we express our gratitude and praise. This foundational understanding transforms our perspective on the words of Jesus as He takes the five barley loaves and two fish: “give thanks.” The study unveils why Apostle John's use of “give thanks” is more apt in this context and how it lays the groundwork for miraculous outcomes. Amidst our perceived insufficiencies, we discover the critical truth that there is always something for which we can give thanks. This episode emphasizes that recognizing God's sufficiency during our moments of lack allows us to witness His strength manifesting within our weakness. We often find ourselves caught in a mentality of inadequacy, overlooking the small resources at our disposal that can lead to divine intervention. Through notable biblical examples, such as the widow of Zarephath and Elijah, we highlight how God specializes in doing great things with little—reminding us that when we view our insufficiencies as something less than what God can use, we miss out on the miraculous. Thanksgiving emerges as a powerful response that prevents discouragement and activates God's grace in our lives. As we reflect on Philippians 4:6, we learn that by expressing gratitude even for the smallest provisions, we pave the way for abundance. Tune in to this episode to uncover how a simple act of giving thanks can transform our perception and open the door to the miraculous in our everyday lives!

In a world where pressing needs can lead us to make impulsive decisions, we explore the vital reminder that lack is not permanent for the child of God. As we navigate through life's challenges, especially during times of famine, we emphasize the importance of trusting God's provision and refraining from making rash choices that leave us vulnerable. Join us in this episode as we reflect on the insightful journey of Naomi, shining a light on how her passion and experience teach us about the strength of faith during difficult times. Naomi's longing for home goes beyond physical sustenance; it embodies a deep yearning for a culture of belonging and the presence of God. Her ten-year absence in Moab reminds us that home is not merely a location but a heart condition steeped in spiritual connection. We confront the notion that flaunting our blessings may create an illusion of prosperity, while true faith and humility draw others closer to God. As believers, we advocate for a return to our spiritual homes, ignited by a desire for God's presence rather than mere provision. Have you drifted away from your spiritual home?

THE BOOK OF RUTH| GOD'S RESTORATION PLAN|CONSECRATION RATHER THAN COMPROMISES| DECISIONS SHAPE DESTINIES|Session-8 2025| CHIMDI OHAHUNA Welcome to another enlightening and profound series for the year: THE BOOK OF RUTH. This journey will reveal God's restoration agenda for every believer. In this illuminating episode of the GRACELIFECOMI Podcast, we tackle the pressing need for intentional efforts in our pursuit of goodness, especially in a world that often rewards the mediocre. Drawing from Proverbs 1:20-21, we emphasize that genuine goodness requires not just desire but a concerted effort and a generous measure of wisdom to champion a truly righteous path. Discover the profound influence that women hold in shaping the spiritual direction of the men in their lives. Through exploring biblical passages from Deuteronomy and Nehemiah, we uncover how a woman can either draw hearts toward God or push them away. This compelling dynamic highlights the importance of being mindful stewards of our influence—whether in our families, friendships, or communities. This session focuses on the theme of provision and its potential to lead us into costly compromises. The cautionary tale of Elimelech serves as a vivid reminder that seeking earthly provisions can sometimes result in surrendering our spiritual convictions. Are you in danger of becoming like a priest holding a fork, who is more concerned with gaining sustenance than adhering to God's law and truth? Also, drawing from Elimelech and his family, we urge you to beware of the alluring call of provisions found in Moab. Such temptations may seem harmless at first but can lead to dire consequences—both for ourselves and the ones we love. Listen to the teaching that challenges you to reflect deeply on your choices and influences. This episode is packed with insights designed to empower you to uphold your values and navigate the complexities of life with integrity.

THE BOOK OF RUTH| GOD'S RESTORATION PLAN| THE POWER OF DECLARATIONS| DECISIONS SHAPE DESTINIES|Session-7 2025| CHIMDI OHAHUNA Welcome to another enlightening and profound series for the year: THE BOOK OF RUTH. This journey will reveal God's restoration agenda for every believer. In this thought-provoking episode, our the study covers the profound impact of our words and declarations in the face of life's uncertainties. This session challenges us to question the narratives shaped by external circumstances and societal opinions. Have you ever felt overwhelmed by what you see and hear around you? We often find ourselves at the mercy of opinions and observations that contradict the promises of God. Drawing from Ephesians 3:20, we remind ourselves that true strength comes from walking by faith, not by sight. In this episode, we emphasize the importance of allowing God's timeless Word to flow through our mouths, empowering us to declare goodness and mercy instead of the sickness and destruction that the world might suggest—symbolized by the names ‘Mahlon' and ‘Chilon.' Through this teaching, you will learn that what may destroy one person can simultaneously fortify another. Through inspiring stories and biblical insights, we illustrate the transformative power of speaking rightly and expecting God's Word to come to fruition. You may not see immediate results, but we encourage you to believe that in the end, God's Word always triumphs. Patience is a virtue we cultivate as we “Go and Wait,” trusting that God is sovereign, He is watching over His Word in our lives. We explore the idea of recognizing the “cloud the size of a man's hand,” embracing the small signs of divine intervention as confirmations of God's faithfulness, rather than fixating on the uncertainties of “how” and “when.” In moments of hardship and seeming turmoil, we draw on Naomi's story, discussing the importance of maintaining a posture of gratitude and faith, even when God's workings may feel confusing or painful. We remind ourselves that God's structure and guidance, though sometimes challenging, ultimately lead us toward His glory—what we cannot always see while standing at the foot of the cross. They all are geared towards revealing the person of Christ Jesus in and through us. Join us on this enlightening journey as we unpack the timeless truths found in the Book of Ruth!

BIBLE STUDY| MIRACLES OF JESUS SERIES| THE FOURTH MIRACLE OF JESUS pt.41| THE FEEDING OF 5,000 MEN WITH 5 LOAVES OF BREAD AND 2 FISHES| CHIMDI OHAHUNA In this enlightening episode, we study deeply into the powerful symbolism of Jesus taking the loaves, illustrating how God desires to receive our offerings—our gifts, resources, and services—for the advancement of His Kingdom. Emphasizing that nothing can be of no value and too little in His hands. While we are all saved by grace, the depth of our intimacy with the Lord varies, and this relationship is foundational to our journey as believers. Join us as we explore why the manifestation of spiritual gifts is not a true measure of our closeness to Christ. Without intimacy, these gifts can lead us astray. Discover how knowing God's will isn't about our talents but rather about cultivating a deep, personal relationship with Him. Also, this miracle of the boy with 5 barley loaves and 2 fishes, highlights Andrew's example of bringing others to Jesus and not just offering our gifts. Until we surrender our meager 'lunch'—our gifts—into Jesus' hands, we may miss the miraculous potential that lies within. Are you ready to let go of your limited resources and trust Jesus with them?

This teaching session reveals the scriptural narratives and spiritual truths that helps us understand how miracles shape our faith and illuminate our understanding of God's nature. At the heart of our exploration is the powerful message that the purpose of miracles is to inspire belief in the LORD. Discover the symbolism behind the number five thousand (5,000), which not only represents the miraculous feeding of the multitudes but also signifies the undeniable presence of Jesus Christ. This number challenges us to embrace our ability to duplicate and replicate the miraculous works of Jesus through faith, reminding us that even a mustard seed-sized faith can move mountains and trigger extraordinary outcomes. We boldly affirm that we do the works of Jesus not merely through fasting and praying, but by genuinely believing in Him. To unpack these truths, we invite you to reconsider your understanding of faith and action, revealing how embracing Christ activates the miraculous in our lives. This enlightening teaching, also highlights the number 5, a symbol of grace. We reflect on the five wounds Jesus bore during His crucifixion—the holes in His hands and feet, and the piercing of His side—each one a testament to the grace that flows from His sacrifice. This grace isn't just a theological concept; it's a transformative power available to each of us. But the exploration doesn't end there! Also, discover the significance of the number 1,000, which represents abundance and surplus in God's kingdom. When we multiply 5 by 1,000, we uncover the profound truth of overflowing grace—an excess that is not just sufficient but extravagantly abundant.

THE BOOK OF RUTH| GOD'S RESTORATION PLAN| Faith in Famine| Decisions Shape Destinies|Session-6 2025| CHIMDI OHAHUNA We are thrilled to announce a profound new series in our study program for the year: THE BOOK OF RUTH . This remarkable Book poignantly reveals God's restoration agenda for every believer. Our journey beginsby diving deep into the reasons behind Elimelech's family's move from Bethlehem to Moab, a decision shaped by a time of famine in the house of bread itself—Bethlehem—a stark contrast to the plenty of Moab (Judges 6:3-4; Ruth 1:1-5). The forces represented by the Moabites, Amalekites, Midianites, and the children of the East stand as stark reminders of the battles we face today—those forces keen on destroying the seeds planted in our lives and robbing us of our harvest. When the food basket of Israel suffers, where do we find hope? The only answer is in God. In this enlightening episode, we will explore the transformative journey of living life in the Spirit, embracing a reality that transcends traditional religious devotion. Discover via this teaching the profound truth that our lives are intricately designed to embody God's perfect, acceptable, and good will, empowering us to reveal His divine purpose through every choice we make. Join us as we delve into how the blessings of living in the Spirit far exceed the confines of mere devotion. While the Old Testament contains written words, we, as New Testament believers, possess the Living Word—Jesus Christ—within us. This incredible relationship makes our lives easier and enables us to walk free from burdens, guiding us through every twist and turn of our existence. This teaching challenges the misleading notion that God is indifferent to the intricate details of our lives—any doctrine suggesting such is not only erroneous but fundamentally satanic. Instead, we will emphasize the necessity of seeking divine direction over human provision, drawing from the poignant example of Elimelech, who let fear guide him instead of faith and ultimately faced dire consequences in Moab. As New Creations in Christ, each one of us is blessed with the gentle guidance of the Holy Spirit, who leads us in alignment with God's perfect will. Discover how attuning ourselves to the Holy Spirit can radically transform our decision-making processes, arming us with confidence and clarity to navigate life's complexities. Are you ready to embrace a Spirit-led life? Join us for insightful teaching sessions that promise to inspire you to live out God's purpose in a world rife with attractions and distractions.

WAIT CONFERENCE 2025|| UNDERSTANDING WORSHIP BEYOND MUSIC|| SESSION 11|| CHIMDI M. OHAHUNA Welcome to this session of the WAIT CONFERENCE '25. Discover how being led by the Holy Spirit is the ultimate proof of God's fatherhood in your life, and how true worship is a vibrant, spirit-led response that encompasses your whole being. Are you truly living as a son or daughter of God? This episode delves into the profound connection between being led by the Holy Spirit and accepting the fatherhood of God. We explore the powerful truth that God's guidance isn't just a privilege, but a proof that we've embraced our position in His family. We explore the scriptural foundation laid in Malachi 1:6, where honor is revealed as obedience. This understanding leads us to the heart of true worship: an absolute acceptance of God's fatherhood over every aspect of our lives. Just as a loving earthly father desires to guide his child, so too does the Holy Spirit long to instruct and lead every believer. This episode will challenge you to consider what authentic, Spirit-led worship looks like. Discover in this session, how it goes beyond mere actions or words and requires compliance to the will and word of God. It's a lifestyle where our spirit, empowered by the Holy Spirit, responds to the very heart of God. We explore the concept of worship as looking and living like Christ. It's not enough to merely emulate His image; we must embody His character in our daily lives. (2 Corinthians 3:18). True worship encompasses our spirit, soul, and body, all united in a cry of “Abba Father.” Discover the practical elements of engagement with God through Bible study and prayer (Romans 12:1). These aren't just religious routines, they're avenues to be led and transformed by the Holy Spirit, allowing our bodies to become living sacrifices. Also, how neglecting these essential practices can stifle our worship and hinder the manifestation of God's life, Zoe, within us. This episode will ultimately reveal that true worship is not just an event, but the phaneroo – the visible and undeniable manifestation of the sons and daughters of God. Join us as we explore how to fully embrace the Spirit-led life and become radiant reflectors of our Heavenly Father's love. Key takeaways from this episode: • The Holy Spirit's guidance is proof of your adoption into God's family. • True worship is rooted in obedience and complete acceptance of God's fatherhood. • Worship is a holistic response involving your spirit, soul, and body. • Bible study and prayer are essential for maintaining a vibrant worship life. • Living out Christ's character is a crucial component of true worship. • Worship is the manifestation of the glorious life of the children of God. Tune in to learn how to unlock a vibrant, Spirit-led worship life and fully embrace your identity as a beloved child of God. Grace to you! Jesus is Lord.

WAIT CONFERENCE 2025|| UNDERSTANDING WORSHIP BEYOND MUSIC|| SESSION 10|| CHIMDI M. OHAHUNA Welcome back to the WAIT CONFERENCE '25! We're thrilled to continue our journey of exploring the profound and transformative lifestyle of worship, specifically as beloved children of God. In this powerful session, we delve deeper into a fundamental question: What truly is worship? We move beyond superficial understanding to uncover the core of its essence and how it shapes our daily walk. This isn't just about singing songs or attending church services. Discover the concept of worship as a dynamic and continuous connection between our spirit man – the very core of our being – and the Holy Spirit. We examine how this holy interaction is designed to be an unwavering, life-giving force within us. This episode tackles a crucial point: apostasy is the only thing that can disrupt the unity of faith between our spirit and the Holy Spirit, as highlighted in Mark 11:24. Also, discover the implications of this in the context of New Birth, understanding that our spirit man's connection to the Spirit of God is meant to be unbreakable. This is not a connection that can be lost, but rather one that can be strengthened and deepened. In addition, in this session we will explore the concept of holistic worship. It's not just an internal feeling, but the outward expression of the inner communion between the believer and the Holy Spirit. This means that the perpetual connection between our spirit man and the Holy Spirit must transform our soul and then ultimately manifest through our physical body. We'll uncover how aligning the soul with the spirit and bringing our body into alignment as well, will give way to the full expression of Holy Spirit. Key takeaways from this session include: • Worshippers are practitioners of the Word of God: We'll explore the practical outworking of a life of worship, understanding that our response to His Word is an act of worship in itself. • The Fruit of the Spirit: We'll examine the fruit of the Spirit, understood as the evidence of the New Creation human spirit's union with the Holy Spirit, reflecting the beautiful synergy between God and us. • The Spirit Man's Understanding: We dive into how the spirit man of the New Creation naturally understands the language and revelation of the Holy Spirit, unlocking deeper levels of spiritual insight. • Provision Based on Finished Work: We uncover how our reception of the finished work of Christ is the foundation for partaking in God's provision and abundance. • The Ever-Present Teacher: We discuss how teaching in the faith evolves and it does not depend on age but on experience and our personal encounters with the Holy spirit. Ultimately, we understand that the Holy Spirit is our ultimate teacher, as highlighted in Hebrews 1:1. This session culminates in the powerful realization that the continuous communion between our spirit man and the Holy Spirit ensures that nothing takes us by surprise. This constant contact equips us to walk in confidence, peace, and purpose, fully aligned with God's will. Join us as we explore these vital aspects of worship, providing practical insights and a deeper understanding of your incredible relationship with the Holy Spirit. Be prepared to be challenged, encouraged, and transformed as we continue to unpack the rich teachings of the WAIT CONFERENCE '25. Grace to you! Jesus is Lord.

WAIT CONFERENCE 2025|| UNDERSTANDING WORSHIP BEYOND MUSIC|| SESSION 9|| CHIMDI M. OHAHUNA This is the ninth session of the WAIT Conference '25, we will continue deeper into the heart of worship! Discover what true worship truly entails as we build on the foundations laid in previous sessions and our anchor scripture is, Romans 12:1. In this session, we are shifting our focus to a powerful definition of worship: unashamedly pouring out our inner selves upon Jesus in a loving and affectionate way. Together, let us explore why so many Christians struggle with this level of devotion. We will uncover the spiritual battles outlined in Romans 8 that seek to distract us and hinder our complete surrender to Christ. This isn't just about religious activity; it's about heartfelt devotion – pouring out our whole being to the Lord. We will examine how devotion to anything other than Jesus, be it things or issues, becomes a distraction, a detour orchestrated by Satan. This is where the understanding of the “alabaster box” comes into play. Referencing the familiar story from Mark 14:3, we'll unpack the symbolism of the alabaster box as representing our own flesh. To truly worship, we must break this box, pouring out its costly contents (our very selves) upon Jesus. This isn't a one-time event but an ongoing process of surrender. This message challenges the notion of superficial devotion. While devotionals can be helpful, they pale in comparison to living a life devoted to Christ, a life where we lose ourselves to gain Him. This is dying to the flesh so that we can truly live for Christ. We will unpack what it truly means to have our “alabaster box shattered beyond repair” and how this leads to a holistic experience of worship that renders the devil's distractions powerless. This session also dispels the myth that God humbles the proud – instead, the Bible reveals He resists the proud by opposing their will. True worship is born out of a crushed flesh, not just the performance of religious rituals. Finally, we will connect the dots, revealing that the crushing of our alabaster box is not a brutal act, but one that is engendered by a spirit overflowing with the Word of God, a spirit that is made fuller than our flesh. It is in the crushing of our flesh that true, wholehearted worship is found. Tune in to discover the power of shattering your alabaster box and embrace a life of dedicated, passionate worship. This episode will challenge, equip, and inspire you to deeper devotion to Jesus. Key Themes Covered: • The meaning of true worship • The battles against distraction and detraction • The symbolism of the alabaster box • Dying to the flesh for a life in Christ • The role of God's Word in spiritual growth • The importance of a crushed flesh for true worship • Understanding why God resists the proud and how to live in humility Grace to you! Jesus is Lord.

WAIT CONFERENCE 2025|| UNDERSTANDING WORSHIP BEYOND MUSIC|| SESSION 8|| CHIMDI M. OHAHUNA Welcome to this session of WAIT CONFERENCE '25. Go beyond the typical understanding of worship and discover how your body, soul, and spirit are all vital in truly connecting with God. Have you ever considered that worship involves more than just singing and spiritual experiences? Join us as we proceed further into a deeper understanding of worship, moving beyond the familiar emphasis on the spirit to embrace a holistic approach that includes your body and soul. Still on the subject and nature of worship, in this teaching session we are focusing on Romans 12:1, which calls us to offer our bodies as living sacrifices – our "reasonable worship." We've traditionally concentrated on John 4:24, "worshipping in spirit and in truth," and rightly so. But what about the role of our physical selves? In this episode, we explore how our bodies are integral to our worship, not an afterthought. Discover how true worship is about filling God with our heart, expressing that heartfelt connection through our bodies. Drawing from Philippians 3:10, we'll explore the Greek word "Ginosko," meaning "to feel," and how worship is essentially seeking to know and feel God more deeply. This inner experience, rooted in our spirit man, must translate through our body, reflecting the truth of what we feel in our spirit. This is where alignment comes in. Our spirit, feeling God, must align our soul, and our soul, in turn, must align our body. If your body's actions and choices don't reflect the God you feel in your spirit, then our worship is incomplete. We wil examine Apostle Paul's powerful statement of "putting his body under" (1 Corinthians 9:27) and how this speaks to a powerful message of holistic worship. This discipline isn't about suppression but rather about liberation and fully expressing our love for God through our whole being. We'll explore the challenges we face, from the everyday busyness of our souls and bodies which can lead to disconnect from our spirit man. We must learn to deliberately cultivate a connection that keeps our soul aligned to our spirit, and our body aligned to our soul. This deliberate fellowship helps us continually magnify God in our spirit, soul, and body, thereby living a lifestyle of complete worship. Ultimately, we will define "all-inclusive worship" – where what we experience in the spirit is reflected in our soul and ultimately manifested through our body. This is about living a life of continuous worship, 24/7, in the fullness of our being. Key takeaways from this episode: • Understanding the biblical basis for holistic worship (Romans 12:1, John 4:24). • Why the body is not an afterthought but a vital part of worship. • The meaning of the Greek word "Ginosko" and worship as "feeling God." • The importance of aligning the spirit, soul, and body in worship. • Practical insights into living a lifestyle of holistic worship. • Defining "all-inclusive worship." Join us as we explore this transformative understanding of worship and learn how to engage our entire being in a deeper relationship with God!

WAIT CONFERENCE 2025|| UNDERSTANDING WORSHIP BEYOND MUSIC|| SESSION 7|| CHIMDI M. OHAHUNA   Welcome to this session of WAIT Conference. Our mission is to help believers live a life of worship, deepen their intimacy with God, and experience transformative change in their daily lives.   What is WAIT? WAIT is an acronym for:- Worship: Living a life of worship is the foundation of our walk with God. Worship brings us into God's presence, allowing us to experience His glory and majesty. - Anointing: Worship leads to the anointing, which is the consciousness of the Holy Spirit in our lives. John reminds us that we have an unction—the Holy Spirit—who teaches us everything. - Intimacy: The consciousness of the Holy Spirit fosters intimacy with God. Our relationship with Him becomes deeper and more personal. - Transformation: With intimacy comes transformation. As Christ is formed within us, our lives are transformed, and we become living testimonies of His grace and power.   Our Purpose As believers, our ultimate goal is to glorify Jesus and reveal Christ to humanity. Matthew 5:16 tells us that when people see our transformed lives, they give glory to God. The WAIT Conference Podcast is dedicated to helping you achieve this by focusing on the following:   - Worship in the Body: Understanding the importance of presenting our bodies as living sacrifices. Our spirit naturally worships God, but there is a special place for our bodies in this process. Supremacy of God's Word: We emphasize the importance of God's Word as the ultimate authority in our lives. True worship means submitting to His Lordship and allowing His Word to guide us. Living Sacrifices: We encourage believers to live sacrificially, offering their bodies as a testimony of their devotion to God. This sacrificial living brings about the movement of the Holy Spirit, leading us to the Word of God.   This episode of the WAIT Conference Podcast is designed to inspire, uplift, and challenge you to grow in your faith. Explore practical ways to incorporate worship, anointing, intimacy, and transformation into your daily life. The teaching will help you understand the importance of presenting your bodies as living sacrifices, fully embracing the movement of the Holy Spirit, and living a life that glorifies God.   Tune in and be part of this journey of faith. Let's worship God in spirit and truth together, experience the anointing of the Holy Spirit, deepen our intimacy with Him, and live transformed lives that reveal Christ to the world.   Jesus is Lord.

WAIT CONFERENCE 2025|| UNDERSTANDING WORSHIP BEYOND MUSIC|| SESSION 6|| CHIMDI M. OHAHUNA   Welcome to session 6 of the WAIT CONFERENCE 2025! WAIT stands for Worship, Anointing, Intimacy, and Transformation. This conference is designed to guide us in living a life of true worship, which brings about the anointing—the consciousness of the Holy Spirit. As John says, "You have an unction from the Holy One, and He shall teach you everything." This consciousness leads to greater intimacy with God and, ultimately, transformation in our daily lives.   Worship is a service to God. When we looked at the word worship, we saw that it's actually a service. It's a service we render to God with our bodies. Worship is the nature of our spirit man, but it must reflect in our bodies. That is the service we give to God. And we don't do it in timing, we do it as we live, continuously, perpetually for as long as we are here in the body, keep doing it. And when we go to heaven, we continue. And when we come to New Jerusalem, we continue. And so, we need to understand this. This understanding of reasonable service, and reasonable worship, will keep us intact and make us live the way God has ordered us to lead our lives. Like I said earlier, the solution to all the arguments is worship. When your deep calls to the deep of God, the Lord will lead you. The Lord will tell you what to do and what not to do.   In these times we are living in, like never before, we need worshippers. Because of the so many arguments in the Christian faith, we need worshippers. Heartfelt worshipers, chronic worshipers, lifestyle worshipers. Not worshippers by flamboyance, not worshippers by show-off, but worshippers by love. Because, if that begins to happen, you see that we stop arguing in the Christian faith. We will stop arguing. Worship will end all the arguments. Because when you look at me and you see Christ in me, has the argument not been ended? The argument has ended.   Worship is evident. Worship is glaring. Worship is tangible. That is why it is the solution to all the arguments we are having between each other. Let everyone, of course, render the reasonable worship to God as God requires of it. For you, God may be requiring A and B and C, but for me, He may be requiring F and G and H. Based on the level of work He has designed for you and me, it will require different levels of service. But at the end of the day, the bottom line is that people will see that we are worshipers. You cannot be a worshiper and people will not see it. I stand on this over and over again. It will reflect in our bodies. Our bodies will reflect the worship nature, our worship nature on the inside. And that is actually our reasonable service. So once again, the bottom line remains, the focus here is the body, our body worshiping God. That's been the focus of this study since we began. Our bodies worship God. Glorify the Lord in your bodies. And that is the call. And I trust God that as many as will listen to this teaching, they will begin to desire to see who they are in their spirit manifest in their body. You see when your spirit manifests to your body, it's not mechanical. It's not legalistic but it's realistic. It's just living in the reality. You flow and you just enjoy worship. And I pray that today everybody who will listen to this would allow the flow of the worshipper in the spirit man into our bodies so that we will be the living worship of God that people will see and desire to worship God. In Jesus' name, Amen. God bless you. Jesus is Lord.

Welcome to this teaching session, we study the Book of Psalm 25:9-10, which declares, "Good and upright is the Lord; therefore will He teach sinners in the way. The meek will He guide in judgment, and the meek will He teach His way. All the paths of the Lord are mercy and truth unto such as keep His covenant and His testimonies." Our prayer today is for the Holy Spirit to grant us revelation into this profound word. David, the Psalmist, consistently describes God with the adjective "good." Throughout scripture, the emphasis on God's goodness is profound. Interestingly, the Bible rarely uses the words "better" or "best" to describe God, except in specific contexts like "better is the end of a matter than the beginning." Instead, the word "good" is frequently and consistently used. This recurring use of "good" signifies something profound about God's disposition, personality, perception, and description of the things He created. From the beginning, in Genesis chapter 1, we see the word "good" repeatedly used to describe God's creation, culminating in "very good." Understanding the significance of "good" helps us grasp the essence of God's nature and how He relates to His creation. God's goodness is not just a characteristic but a fundamental aspect of His being. The paths of the Lord are marked by mercy and truth for those who keep His covenant and testimonies. Join us as we explore the depth of God's goodness and its implications for our lives. Looking into the scriptures, uncovering the layers of meaning behind God's repeated affirmation of goodness. We'll see how this goodness guides, teaches and transforms us as we walk in His ways. May this episode enlighten our hearts and minds, drawing us closer to a profound understanding of God's inherent goodness. Let the revelation of His goodness inspire us to live lives that reflect His mercy, truth, and covenant love. Tune in as we journey through the Word, seeking deeper insights into the nature of our good and upright LORD. Jesus is Lord.

WAIT CONFERENCE 2025|| UNDERSTANDING WORSHIP BEYOND MUSIC|| SESSION 5|| CHIMDI M. OHAHUNA   Previously, we explored worship as giving God pleasure, which involves presenting our bodies as a living sacrifice. This study emphasizes the importance of presenting our bodies as living sacrifices. We know that God is a spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth. Our spirit man is designed to worship the Lord.   Living on Earth, we interact through our human bodies, which legally permit us to carry out transactions here. If who we are in spirit does not reflect in our bodies, we cannot reveal our true identity to humanity. Our mission is to reveal our identity to humanity. We cannot live a dual life—being born-again Christians in spirit and something else in our bodies is not possible. We are either of God or not of God. Therefore, the focus is on our bodies, and every born-again child of God should be concerned about how they live their life in their body.   Apostle Paul teaches us to glorify God in our bodies. This should be our desire as children of God. 1 Corinthians 6:20 (ISV) says, “because you were bought with a price therefore glorify God with your bodies.” The Bible in Basic English (BBE) says, “for a payment has been made for you…Let God be honored in your body.”   Honoring God in our bodies means giving God permission to be honored. It implies that we can choose whether or not to honor God in our bodies. God will not force us; He desires us to honor Him willingly. Malachi 1:6 illustrates this: “If I am a father, where is the honor due me?” Worship is about choosing to honor God in our bodies.   The King James Version (KJV) states, “for ye are bought with a price, therefore glorify God in your body.” This is where we glorify God—people do not see spirits; they see human beings. We can only show how good God is through our physical expressions of His goodness. Every time we express God's goodness, we are worshiping the Lord. Glorifying God in our bodies means showing His goodness through our lives.   Romans 12:1-2 discusses the sanctification of the body and the soul. When born again, our spirit is one with God and perfect, but our soul must be taught the things of the Spirit and our body presented as a living offering to God. The spirit continuously worships, and when the soul aligns with the spirit, we become an incense. Our worship is incomplete without our bodies involved. This aspect of worship has been neglected in the church, leading to singing without essence. Worship is more than a feeling; it is the presentation of God through our bodies.   In worship, our body is killed on the altar of God's presence while our spirit remains alive in deep communion with God. Apostle Paul said, “I mortify my members” in God's presence, not in a party. Living in the consciousness of God's presence mortifies the flesh's dictates.   Contrary to the belief that old habits die hard, all habits die in God's presence. Habits that are not of God die, while those of God come alive. This call to worship is for every born-again child of God to take deliberate measures to become true worshippers.   Continuous fellowship with God causes undesirable things to die naturally. Communion brings the spirit life alive in the body, and the body life dies. To stop undesirable behaviors, focus on fellowship with God—study the Word, pray, enjoy God's presence, and stay in communion. As we fellowship with the Lord, we become living sacrifices, thus worshiping Him fully.   Jesus is Lord.

It implies that we can choose whether or not to honor God in our bodies. God will not force us; He desires us to honor Him willingly. Malachi 1:6 illustrates this: “If I am a father, where is the honor due me?” Worship is about choosing to honor God in our bodies.   The King James Version (KJV) states, “for ye are bought with a price, therefore glorify God in your body.” This is where we glorify God—people do not see spirits; they see human beings. We can only show how good God is through our physical expressions of His goodness. Every time we express God's goodness, we are worshiping the Lord. Glorifying God in our bodies means showing His goodness through our lives.   Romans 12:1-2 discusses the sanctification of the body and the soul. When born again, our spirit is one with God and perfect, but our soul must be taught the things of the Spirit and our body presented as a living offering to God. The spirit continuously worships, and when the soul aligns with the spirit, we become an incense. Our worship is incomplete without our bodies involved. This aspect of worship has been neglected in the church, leading to singing without essence. Worship is more than a feeling; it is the presentation of God through our bodies.   In worship, our body is killed on the altar of God's presence while our spirit remains alive in deep communion with God. Apostle Paul said, “I mortify my members” in God's presence, not in a party. Living in the consciousness of God's presence mortifies the flesh's dictates.   Contrary to the belief that old habits die hard, all habits die in God's presence. Habits that are not of God die, while those of God come alive. This call to worship is for every born-again child of God to take deliberate measures to become true worshippers.   Continuous fellowship with God causes undesirable things to die naturally. Communion brings the spirit life alive in the body, and the body life dies. To stop undesirable behaviors, focus on fellowship with God—study the Word, pray, enjoy God's presence, and stay in communion. As we fellowship with the Lord, we become living sacrifices, thus worshiping Him fully.   Jesus is Lord.

WAIT CONFERENCE 2025|| UNDERSTANDING WORSHIP BEYOND MUSIC|| SESSION 4|| CHIMDI M. OHAHUNA   Welcome back to another enlightening session of WAIT CONFERENCE ‘25. Our journey into the depths of worship has been truly glorious so far, and today, we continue into this profound aspect of our faith.   We've been exploring the concept of worship, specifically the act of kissing the hand—an ancient gesture of reverence and homage, which symbolizes honor and respect shown to another. We understood that God loves us to honor Him, and the entire Book of Malachi emphasizes honor rather than just tithe and offering. Over the years, the focus has often been on giving financially, rather than the heart's honor towards God.   What matters most is your heart of honor towards God, not just your finances. If your heart does not honor God, it will eventually show. Worship is about reverence for God with your life and everything you have. When both your heart and body honor God, every other aspect of your life will follow suit.   We explored the words reverence, homage, and obeisance. Obeisance, a movement of the body such as bowing, demonstrates respect for someone. Worship goes beyond words—it is an action. As James says, “Show me your faith without works, and I will show you my faith by my works.” Faith without works is dead. Worship is an act of faith.   Your disposition in life reveals if you are bowing before God or something else. Addiction, for instance, is paying obeisance to something other than God. Different worship postures, such as lifting holy hands and bowing, are acts of surrender and respect. When we lift our hands, it symbolizes surrender and a plea for God's support, much like a child asking to be carried. Bowing before God signifies total submission to His authority and lordship.   The same way the gift of the Spirit is given, the fruit of the Spirit must be borne physically. This is why we present our bodies as living sacrifices. God doesn't do this for us; we must actively present ourselves. Worship is the act of enjoying God, and this joy comes when we offer ourselves as living sacrifices. Choosing not to worship God deprives us of this pleasure and leads to frustration.   As believers, we need to ask ourselves if we are truly enjoying the pleasure of God's presence. The sweet fellowship of the Holy Spirit is meant to be enjoyable. Over the years, I've seen ministers focus more on ministering to people than to God. This can lead to a lack of alignment with God's will and a disconnect between their preaching and personal character. We must embrace both sonship and servanthood, understanding that a worshiper is a serving son.   This is a clarion call to servanthood. Worship involves serving the Lord Christ with our whole being, regardless of circumstances. As Apostle Paul said, “I have learned to abase and abound.” Worship teaches us to adapt to all situations with a heart aligned with God.   Join us as we continue to explore the depths of worship, understanding that it is not just about singing or music, but about living a life of total submission and allegiance to God. Let us embrace our calling and honor God in every aspect of our lives.   Jesus is Lord.

WAIT CONFERENCE 2025|| UNDERSTANDING WORSHIP BEYOND MUSIC|| SESSION 3|| CHIMDI M. OHAHUNA   Welcome to this Session of WAIT CONFERENCE ‘25. In previous sessions, we considered the profound meaning of worship derived from the Greek word, proskuneo. This term embodies the act of kissing the hand in reverence, a gesture prevalent among orientals, especially the Persians. It also signifies falling upon the knees and touching the ground with the forehead—expressions of profound reverence. The recurring theme here is reverence, underscoring that true worship is about profound respect and admiration for God.   If a song is sung without reverence, it fails to be an act of worship. Worship must be embodied in our actions, our bodies serving as living offerings. The King James Version refers to this as a "living sacrifice," which constitutes our reasonable service or worship.   Worship involves kneeling or prostrating to pay homage, express respect, or supplicate. When we worship by kissing God's hand, we show respect, politeness, courtesy, admiration, and devotion to Him—reflecting our respect for God's love. This act signifies formal submission and a pledge of allegiance.   In this session, we further look into into the concept of worship as formal submission and allegiance to God. The Bible tells us that God is a spirit (John 4:24), and those who worship Him must do so in spirit and in truth. Worship begins in our spirit but must also be manifested in our bodies as living offerings.   True worship signifies total submission to God and absolute allegiance to His will. When born again, we are translated from the kingdom of darkness into the kingdom of Christ Jesus, becoming worshipers in spirit. The unbeliever cannot worship God; only believers can worship the Lord as they are initiated into the spirit of worship. Our spirit man worships continuously, as worship is inherent in our new nature.   Paul's declaration, "For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain," reflects a state of total submission and allegiance to Christ. Worship extends beyond singing, rhythm, and music; it embodies total allegiance and submission to God's will. True worship aligns our bodies with the life of the spirit.   Being born again places us in the same diplomatic realm with the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, enabling us to worship God. Only those within God's family can worship Him. Presenting our bodies as living offerings is a privilege exclusive to God's diplomatic cadre, allowing us to reason with Him.   Worship is understanding our place within God's diplomatic realm, as only those in His family can worship Him in spirit and in truth. The fellowship of the Holy Spirit is akin to kissing the Holy Spirit, sealed by the Father. Worship may or may not involve singing or music, but it is always an act of reverence.   Worship also means honoring God with ourselves. The Bible instructs us to honor the Lord with our substance and the first fruits of our increase. Our bodies are the first substance God seeks. When we honor God with our bodies, all other offerings—whether money, gifts, or services—carry the aroma of honor before God. If we fail to honor God with our bodies, other offerings lack this aroma of honor, as evidenced by Cain's unpleasing sacrifice to the Lord.   This session is a clarion call to worship God by honoring Him with our bodies, reflecting respect and reverence. Join us in this journey of true worship, where we align our bodies and spirits in total submission and allegiance to the will of God.     Jesus is Lord.

WAIT CONFERENCE 2025|| Session 2|| UNDERSTANDING WORSHIP BEYOND MUSIC|| CHIMDI M. OHAHUNA WAIT stands for Worship, Anointing, Intimacy, and Transformation. This conference is designed to guide us in living a life of true worship, which brings about the anointing—the consciousness of the Holy Spirit. As John says, "You have an unction from the Holy One, and He shall teach you everything." This consciousness leads to greater intimacy with God and, ultimately, transformation in our daily lives. As believers in the Lord Jesus, we are called to live a transformed Christian life. The Bible urges us to let Christ be formed in us, and as He transforms our lives, others will see Jesus through us. When people see Jesus in us, they glorify the Lord. Matthew 5:16 says, "Let your light shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven." Our purpose here on Earth is to glorify Jesus and reveal Christ to humanity. When Christ is revealed to humanity, God the Father is glorified. This conference aims to help us achieve that purpose, guiding us in our journey of transformation. Our major focus previously has been understanding that God created everything to give Him pleasure according to Revelation 4:11: "Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory, honor, and power, for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created." We understood the word pleasure, which is the word Thelema. In this session, we will deeply explore this with the help of the Holy Spirit, answering the question: "What gives God pleasure?" Every born-again child of God should ask this question. Jesus said, "My meat is to do the will of my Father." This was His purpose on Earth, and it should be ours too. When Jesus' disciples asked Him to teach them to pray, He told them to pray, "Thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven." The will of the Father drove Jesus. This should also be the desire and drive of every born-again child of God. We must seek to know and do the will of the Father. Sometimes, we think our desires give God pleasure, but they may not. As one man of God said, building a stadium for a crusade may not give God pleasure if it is not His will for you. Pleasing God should rise and fall on doing His will. So, what gives God pleasure? What does God want us to do? Worship is about what gives God pleasure—what He wants us to do. Romans 12:1 tells us to present our bodies as living sacrifices, holy and acceptable unto God, which is our reasonable service. Service and worship are not limited to singing or rhythm but extend to living a life of responsibility and worship to the Lord. When we present our bodies as living offerings, we carry out the act of worship. Worship is not just in the spirit; it is also in the body. Worship becomes our life and identity as we live responsibly unto the Lord. Worship gives God pleasure and involves presenting our bodies as living offerings. When we worship God, we show Him politeness, respect, admiration, and devotion, making Him feel loved by us. Thus, we fulfill 1 John 4:19: "We love Him because He first loved us." Worship is reciprocating God's love in our bodies. Let's worship God in our bodies, not just in spirit, but in every aspect of our lives. Join us at WAIT CONFERENCE 2025 for this journey of true worship, anointing, intimacy, and transformation! Jesus is Lord.
