In today's message, "Unclear Reality," explores the tension between what we see and what is truly real. Drawing from Mark 8:23–26, we confront the spiritual blindness that clouds our vision in a fallen world. Like the blind man healed in stages, we often move through life with blurred understanding, trusting broken vision and chasing distractions. But there is hope: by seeking God's truth, living by faith, fixing our eyes on Jesus, and walking with the Holy Spirit, we can find clarity in the midst of confusion. It is my prayer that in listening to this podcast you will discover the path to clear sight in an unclear world.

Based on Hebrews 11:13-16, “The Trophy I Seek” challenges listeners of Pneuma Podcast to consider what trophy they are truly seeking, earthly rewards or an eternal crown. The key text shows how faith heroes pursued a heavenly vision, not earthly gain. Paul, in 2 Timothy 4:7-8, fixed his eyes on the "crown of righteousness," urging believers in Jesus Christ to fight to finish, so that in the end we would hear Christ say, "Well done, good and faithful servant" (Matthew 25:21). This is a clarion call: reject fleeting trophies, run the race with endurance, and live for the only reward that lasts, God's eternal approval. Run for the crown!

"Searching and Finding the Lost Part of Yourself Along Life's Pathway," draws from Luke 15:1-10, where Jesus speaks of a shepherd who loses a sheep and a woman who loses a coin. These parables mirror the personal losses we experience in life. Whether it's our faith, hope, or sense of self, we all lose parts of ourselves along the way.

We have found ourselves in situations where we wished we could turn back time, undo our mistakes, and start afresh. Yet, just as in Moses' story, these moments of adversity can be the test in which character is fashioned. Moses' story is a powerful reminder that our past does not define our future. God's grace is sufficient to redeem, repurpose, and renew us. No matter where we find ourselves today, whether in a place of regret, isolation, or uncertainty, we can take heart knowing that God has not abandoned us. He is with us, ready to guide us toward a future filled with hope and purpose.

Based on John 20:24-29 "Faith Beyond Doubt," explores the enduring struggle with doubt, drawing from the account of Thomas in John 20:24-29. Thomas's demand for tangible proof mirrors our own yearning for certainty amidst uncertainty. However, Jesus meets doubt with grace, offering evidence to Thomas while blessing those who believe without seeing. Faith, we learn, transcends empirical evidence, requiring trust in the unseen. Despite doubts, we're encouraged to bring them to God, seek community, and fix our gaze on Christ.

Despite our best intentions, self-reliance creeps in, hindering our spiritual journey. Reflecting on my own faith, I've realised that self often stands as my greatest obstacle. But through self-discovery and surrender, we find liberation. Just as Peter struggled with self-trust, we too face similar battles. Yet, there is hope in surrendering to God's will. This is the message today and it is my prayer that this message blesses you wherever you are on your journey of faith. Shalom!

Based on 2 Kings 7:3-10, It's Not Right to Keep it to Yourself! reminds believers in Christ Jesus of the urgency to share the Gospel. As children of God, there's much we do or don't do that isn't right, prompting a critical question: What is our core purpose as Christians? While events might have diverted our attention, our primary call is to spread the Good News. A compelling story from 2 Kings 7:3-10 highlights the plight of outcast lepers, shunned by society. Their narrative parallels the struggles of anyone who's felt rejected or ostracised by those they love. The lepers, facing death, made a bold choice, saying, "What do we have to lose?" Their courageous move led to an incredible discovery. Ultimately, they declared, "It is not right to Keep it to ourselves!" This statement resonates strongly: it's not right to withhold the blessings of God or keep the Gospel to yourself. Your life has a divine purpose, and it's time to share the good news with the world. I pray that this message richly blesses you.Shalom! Credit:Portraits of Hope: Carry Me (Instrumental)Unknown: Go and tell everyone.Disclaimer: All music used belong to the copyright owner credited.

Based on Luke 18:9-14,“A Call to Humility” highlights the contrast between self-righteousness and humility. It accentuates that true justification before God arises from acknowledging our own sinfulness and reliance on His mercy, not from self-righteous deeds. The parable exemplifies how self-righteousness leads to judgment and pride, while humility, like that of the tax collector, brings acceptance by God. Christians are encouraged to break free from self-righteousness, understanding that we all need God's grace. This message, therefore, emphasises the importance of emulating Christ's love and compassion and being a beacon of grace. It is my prayer that this podcast blesses you.

Nonetheless, the focal point of our podcast centres on the term "Wonderful Counsellor" and its portrayal of the depth of God's wisdom and guidance in our lives.

She tried everything to find a cure, but nothing worked. In desperation, she turned to Jesus, believing that just touching his garment would heal her. Her faith was rewarded, and she was healed immediately. This story shows us that even when we are at our lowest point, faith can give us the strength to reach out for a miracle.

Based on Luke 7:36-39 , the "Audacity of the Broken Woman", tells a story of a remarkable encounter between Jesus, a Pharisee named Simon, and an uninvited, nameless prostitute.

This episode uncovers the internal struggles of Simon, who, like many of us, underestimated the depth of his own sinfulness. Ultimately, this story reveals the kind of prophet Jesus is—one who knows our hearts, welcomes our worship, and offers the audacious gift of forgiveness to our audacity.

Based on Titus 2:11-14 "My Gate, My Watch," highlights the need for believers in Christ to be gatekeepers of their hearts and minds.

This principle signifies that every believer is individually responsible as a gatekeeper from the moment they profess faith in Christ. The podcast underscores the spiritual advantages of safeguarding our gates, akin to how physical gates enhance safety and property worth. It underscores that securing our spiritual gates results in a life characterized by peace. It is my prayer that this message blesses you. Shalom!

Based on Genesis 1:26-31, "So, God Created Man in His own Image" encourages listeners to reconsider whether they unintentionally prioritize material possessions over their Creator and the primary purpose of their existence. This podcast examines how people have reversed this sequence, drawing parallels with the story in Exodus 32:1, where impatience led to the crafting of a golden calf. In contemporary times, some individuals venerate material wealth, leaders, or distorted religious teachings, such as the prosperity gospel, which diverts believers from the correct path of life. Lastly, it is crucial to remember that God fashioned humanity in His image, not the other way around. Therefore, we should refrain from creating deities in our likeness and instead give precedence to devotion to the one true Creator, God. It is my prayer that this message blesses you. Shalom!

Based on 1 Samuel 17: 38-52 “Face to Face with Goliath” brings to listeners timeless lesson from David's Encounter with Goliath." Whether you're a devout Christian or simply familiar with biblical tales, the story of David and Goliath resonates with many. In fact, "Goliath" has become synonymous with the concept of a formidable opponent. This narrative not only captivates but also imparts profound insights as one of the Bible's most remarkable victories. Despite his youth, David's trust in God eclipses any reliance on unfamiliar armour. Departing from Saul's camp, he approaches Goliath armed with five smooth stones. As Goliath mocks him, David proclaims his trust in the God of Israel and defeats the giant with a single stone. This narrative holds invaluable lessons for confronting our personal "giants." Though we may not encounter physical Goliaths, we face our own formidable challenges. The "David principle" guides us: recognising God's nature, embracing our identity as His children, and wholly relying on His strength. It is my prayer that this message would bless you. Shalom!

Based on Acts 20:25-38, "The Reflection of Mortality: Embracing Legacy, Encouragement, and Hope," serves as an introspective exploration of mortality, intended to prompt contemplation about life's purpose as children of God. As we progress towards eternity with Christ, our awareness of the significance of each passing moment is heightened. This engagement with mortality urges us to reconsider our priorities, channelling our investments towards enduring treasures. The resolute commitment of Paul to God's intentions and the steadfast faith of Joel serves as vivid examples to us. In our contemplation of mortality, we pay attention to Paul's call to remain vigilant, nurturing the faith of others. In a manner akin to followers of Christ. Our legacy transcends mere worldly accomplishments, encompassing the nurturing of souls. As we navigate this journey, let the heritage of our predecessors chart our path. The imprints left by Paul's footsteps and Joel's unyielding faith inspire purpose-driven existence. It is my prayer that our lives, resonating with God's love, evoke a similar response in others.

Based on Luke 19:1-10 “Leave your ugly past to Jesus Christ” invites listeners to explore the transformative power of surrendering our past to Jesus Christ. Our burdens of mistakes, regrets, and wrongdoings can weigh heavily on us, causing guilt and shame. However, Jesus offers us a way out of this burden. Through the story of Zacchaeus in Luke 19:1-10, we witness a remarkable turnaround in his life. Zacchaeus, despised as a tax collector, was desperate for change. Zacchaeus demonstrated his longing for transformation. Jesus recognised his potential and called him by name. By understanding the principle of faith and embracing our new identity in Christ, we can leave our past behind no matter how ugly. Though it may always be there, it doesn't define us. Trusting in God's power to transform, we can embark on a new future filled with His grace and redemption. I pray that this Podcast blesses you. Shalom!

Based on John 10:10-15 “Living Without the Box" invites listeners to break free from limitations and embrace a life of true freedom. We often find ourselves surrounded by symbolic boxes that represent the restrictions in our lives. However, through Jesus Christ, we can overcome these limitations and experience a life that is full and abundant. Jesus wants us to release the grip of fear, doubt, and self-imposed boundaries. To live without the box, we need to renew our minds and align our thoughts with God's truth. This transformation goes beyond surface-level changes and requires us to align our lives with God's purposes, trust His wisdom, and remain open to new experiences. As we embark on this faith journey, living without the box, may we encounter the abundant life that Jesus promised. May this message bring you blessings and comfort as you embrace true freedom.

Based on Mark 4:36-41 "Far into the Journey" calls on believers to contemplate the difficulties and obstacles that arise in the lives of followers of Jesus Christ. The story of Jesus calming the storm serves as an illustration, emphasising that even in the midst of our storms, Jesus is present, even if His silence or seeming unawareness may lead us to think otherwise. These challenges should not be viewed as a reflection of God's lack of love for us; rather, they provide opportunities for our faith in Jesus Christ to grow.

Based on 1 Chronicles 4:9-10 the "Blessings Beyond Boundaries" reflects on the story of Jabez. Despite his difficult upbringing and circumstances, Jabez chose not to let his circumstances define who he was. Instead, he, recognised God, called upon God, seeking His blessings, presence, and protection. Jabez's prayer demonstrated his faith and boldness, acknowledging God as the source of all blessings. He entrusted God to decide the nature of his blessings, showing a humble and selfless attitude. In the end, God honoured Jabez's prayer, and attended to his request. This story inspires us to approach God with confidence and trust, knowing that He delights in answering the prayers of His children. We are encouraged to seek God's presence and protection in our own lives, following Jabez's example of living with honour and faith. It is therefore my prayer that this message blesses listeners.

Based on Acts 2:1-22 “The Rushing Mighty Wind of Change” is a reflection on Pentecost, highlighting its importance and the meaning. Pentecost is not meant as a mere celebration or speaking in tongues randomly. The purpose of Pentecost was to enable the primary disciples and by extension believers today to become expert witnesses for Jesus Christ and God's mission on this side of eternity. Thus, the purpose of the Rushing Mighty Wind was to equip them in that Upper room with the power to testify effectively. Peter's personal encounter with the Rushing Mighty Wind transformed his life, leading him to become a fisher of men, no longer content with fishing for fish. Peter did not just spoke in an unknown tongue on the day of Pentecost or after Pentecost but went on to testify to others about Jesus Christ. A personal encounter with God is an awe-inspiring experience” it gives you boldness and clarity about your faith in Christ.It is my prayer that this Podcast blesses you. Shalom!

Drawing from Luke 10:38-42, the message of "Worried About Many Things" urges those who follow Jesus Christ to entrust their anxieties to God, who can grant them serenity even in trying times. Although worry is a natural aspect of existence, particularly in circumstances such as sickness, bereavement, unemployment, or incarceration, it is crucial for us to cultivate a daily reliance on our Creator. While Martha's concerns were genuine, Jesus emphasized that only one thing was necessary: the presence of God. It is my hope that this podcast will provide you with an opportunity to confront any issues of worry in your life by relinquishing them to God's care and allowing Him to assume control over them. May you find peace! Credit:Portraits of Hope: Carry Me (Instrumental)Chris Tomlin: At the CrossDisclaimer: All music used belong to the copyright owner credited. NO copyright infringement intended.
Based on Mark 1:1-8 ‘The News is still Good' invites listeners to reflect on the essence of the Gospel and why it is still important to be preached in all its pure form. This is what Paul meant in his letter to the Church in Rome when he said, (Romans 1:16-17) “it's news I'm most proud to proclaim, this extraordinary Message of God's powerful plan to rescue everyone who trusts him, starting with Jews and then right on to everyone else! God's way of putting people right shows up in the acts of faith, confirming what Scripture has said all along: “The person in right standing before God by trusting him really lives.” As you listen, I pray that the power of the Holy Spirit would rekindle the fire in you.

Based on Ephesians 1:5-12, ‘The Essence of the Grace of God' is a call to reflect on what the Grace of God truly means and how we can rely on its benefit to overcome sin in the world of sin. Grace, from the Christian perspective and theology is defined as the unmerited favour of God that brings about the salvation of sinners, grace influences and activates the regeneration and the sanctification of the sinner so as to keep the sinner conscious of what is sin because of the presence of the grace God.True Christianity is the product of God's Grace, however, that is not a licence or an insurance to sin. Grace itself means nothing without the presence of sin, and if there is grace and it cannot eradicate sin it is also useless.

Based on 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 ‘Hope in the Darkness of Loss' is a reflection on remembering our lost loved ones. Some people may still wonder and ask, why should we remember those who have passed? It is important to remember and honour the memories of our loved ones who have gone home. This is because death and dying no matter how we want to avoid the subject is one of the mysteries of this life that every mortal must submit to at some point so long as we are still on this side of eternity. In 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18, Paul was eager to demonstrate to the Thessalonian Church what the premises of the we have in Jesus Christ should be, so that if we have this hope it would make a whole lot of difference in how we feel about those who have gone before us. It is my desire that this podcast blesses someone today. Shalom!

Based on the Gospel of Luke 15:11-32, the ‘Parable of a Father and Two sons', I am inspired to share with you a succinct insight and the distinctive characters of the three main actors in the metaphor of what is called the prodigal son. This is a story that have been told and retold countless of times, each time the story is told it is told with enthusiasm from different angles and depending on the narrator. It is also a story with a melodramatic composition that though began on a sad note ended in a happy place. The key character as we would see was a person of great flaw of character but was wise enough to retrace his steps back to his father, back to reality. Sad because he jumped the gun and demanded for his share of his father's estate before it was due him and happy because he realised in time to receive forgiveness and restoration from his father. It is my prayer in listening to this message it will bless you. Shalom.Credit:Portraits of Hope: Carry Me (Instrumental)Liberty Campus Band: How Deep the Father's love for usDisclaimer: All music used belong to the copyright owner credited.

Based on James 1:1-4 The Value of Tough Times is a theological reflection on the value of tough times. James demanded of his suffering brethren positive mental attitude during difficulties times by being happy. We all know that it is not easy to be happy especially when things go wrong around us and yet this was the attitude James was encouraging. The same apply to us in the twenty-first century, we need also to be in that happiness pedestal and as the Book of (Nehemiah 8: 10b) said “for the joy of the LORD is your strength.” This strength must come from the Lord you serve. We are so blessed as God's children who have personal relationship with him enough to know His word for us in these trying times.It is my prayer that this message brings listeners comfort as always.
